 General Hospital St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
Created by writers Frank and Doris Hursley, General Hospital was one of two hospital-based daytime dramas to premiere on April 1, 1963 (The other was The Doctors).
Though pre-dating the height of the feminist movement by several years, it nonetheless appealed to a female audience that enjoyed broadening its attention beyond the home by shifting the conventions of the soap opera from the kitchen to the workplace, and from a focus on the family dynamics to one on relationships between coworkers.
General Hospital seemed to lose its focus during the late 1970s despite the efforts of the Hursleys and later writers, including their daughter Bridget, to stick to themes that had brought the show success in the past.
