General Hospital endures
By Rob Salem Jul 26, 2012

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.-The reports of the death of the soap opera have been greatly exaggerated. It was touch-and-go there for a while. With daytime dramas being cancelled to the left and right of them, the cast of General Hospital was prepared for the worst. “We were living on death row,” concedes GH veteran Anthony “Luke” Geary.

But at 50 years old this coming April 1, General Hospital is alive and thriving, with 24 Daytime Emmy nominations for this pivotal season. “I think we were all pretty emotional, when we were so shaky about a year ago,” says Geary, who won one of those Emmys. “I think we were all pretty thrilled and excited and a bit emotional about being acknowledged for the hard work.”

Another big boost, the cast confirms, was the merger of the remnants of the cancelled One Life to Live with the surviving GH ensemble, including actor Michael Easton. “It was bittersweet,” Easton says. “At the same time, it’s been exciting to come over and get to work with these guys. It’s been a new energy for me.

“We were pretty aware for about a year there at One Life that the wrecking ball was right outside the door, and we worked at a pretty high pace to try to make that work. And it’s been interesting to come over here and have the same feeling.

“I felt it woke me up. I might have been in a stupor the last little bit there, but these guys have snapped me out of it and I’m really happy to be here. I feel really fortunate.”
