(A note from Marlena: It’s General Hospital’s 45th anniversary! Here’s a celebration of the event by my good friend and journalistic colleague Ed Martin. Ed and I have been happily debating General Hospital over coffee now for almost ten years — and believe moi, we’re not always happy about the current state of the show. Still, Ed is clearly […]
