The Week Of October 7, 2019
Chloe Lanier is back again as Nelle Benson. Look for more of the actress and character in the upcoming weeks, as Nelle heads for her parole hearing in hopes of receiving an early release from prison.
Meanwhile, viewers found out who Michael E. Knight (ex-Tad, All My Children) is playing on GH, last week. Knight is tackling the role of Martin Grey, the attorney who agreed to represent Nelle.
On the kiddie front, there is a quartet of new ones at the soap. Twins Ella and Emma Hulen made their debut as Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) newborn daughter, Donna Corinthos, on September 30.
Also, Kyler and Caleb Ends have taken over as James West, the son of Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and the late Nathan (Ryan Paevey). The role of James was previously shared by the Marciano twins.
GH made its debut in 1963 and is the second longest-running daytime soap opera in American history. The longest-running sudser is Guiding Light. While it’s not the longest-running sudser, General Hospital is the longest-running soap opera currently on air.
The daytime drama outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households! From Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura’s (Genie Francis) gripping romance and wedding, to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his mobster activities, GH knows how to please their viewers.
More then five decades of gripping drama has kept the daytime sudser on the air as other soap operas were axed. It is one of only four remaining soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless (YR), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB).
