General Hospital was a British daytime soap opera produced by ATV that ran on ITV from 1972 to 1979 following the success of one of British television's first major soap operas, Emergency Ward 10. Set in a fictional Midlands town, the series followed the romantic and professional lives of its doctors and nurses. While the location and the characters names had been changed, in most other respects General Hospital was almost identical to Emergency Ward 10.In 1975, after 270 twice-weekly episodes, General Hospital was given a prime time slot on Friday evening. The move saw the episode lengths double from 30 to 60 minutes, with each episode being more self-contained containing great actors and actresses of the era, and the series continued to run until 1979.
