The West Wing : WW and soap opera GH

WW and soap opera GH

Another interesting tidbit and possibly could come true in this administration, but there was an episode where the President is speaking to a group of college students & this is his quote (same episode where he got shot, end of season 1)

"53% of 18-25 year olds believe the soap opera General Hospital will outlast Medicare "

At this airing GH would have been about 36 yrs old at that time, it is now almost 55 years old. Out of 4 remaining soap operas currently on US TV it has been on the longest and is 3rd longest running in American history. That said at the time there were about 9 daytime soap operas still around in 1999 (again now 4) As far as I know, GH is not up for cancellation in the next few years.
