On Friday, May 10, the cast and crew of “General Hospital” gathered at Prospect Studios in Hollywood, where the award-winning soap opera is taped, as ABC Entertainment executives honored the series by dedicating its studio, Stage 4, as “The General Hospital Stage.”
“This event was supposed to take place in April, 2023 but due to a multitude of reasons was postponed. Well, we finally celebrated the legacy and history of ‘General Hospital’ with a stage dedication placard that will live on forever!” noted Nathan Varni, the ABC Current Series Executive in charge of production for the daytime drama series, in a post on Facebook.
Varni added, “Thanks to everyone involved with the show for all your hard work, dedication and passion for continuing to keep this show alive and running! Congrats to all involved!” We deeply admire and appreciate everyone who works around the clock to bring this series to life 255 days a year!

The soap world is saying goodbye to Jacklyn Zeman, the longtime star of General Hospital who played nurse Bobbie Spencer. The actress died Wednesday at 70 after a short battle with cancer, according to reports.
Zeman’s passing was announced Wednesday evening on Twitter by Frank Valentini, the daytime drama’s executive producer. Zeman first joined the ABC sudser in 1977 and appeared in more than 800 episodes. She was a five-time Daytime Emmy nominee — four for Gh and one for starring in The Bay as Sofia Madison.
Current and former soap stars like Greg Vaughan, John Stamos, Rick Springfield and Eden McCoy paid tribute to their former colleague on social media, calling her a sweet soul “who never ceased to make us smile.”
Zeman’s daughters also posted a remembrance on their mother’s Twitter account today:

For the next four weekdays, ABC soap opera General Hospital will not be airing new episodes. Network executive Nathan Varni explained the repeat episodes to concerned fans on Twitter.
"You shouldn't be worried, it's been planned for months," Varni wrote. "Last yr we didn't have to take additional encores because Trump interrupted the show so much. This year, with less interruptions, we needed to take some some extra days off based on the # of new eps we produce for you."
This would be a great opportunity to air wonderful classic episodes from Gh's 55 year history. Instead, the reruns are from January and February of this year.
