The cast and crew of General Hospital came together for a slightly delayed anniversary party on May 10 when ABC executives dedicated Stage 4, where the soap is taped, as “The General Hospital Stage.”

“This event was supposed to take place in April 2023,” wrote ABC exec Nathan Varni on Facebook, “but due to a multitude of reasons was postponed. Well, we finally celebrated the legacy and history of GH with a stage dedication placard that will live on forever! Thanks to everyone involved with this 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!”

Premiering back on April 1, 1963, GH celebrated its 60th anniversary last year and is currently the longest-running scripted television program in production. The soap also holds the record for most Outstanding Daytime Drama award wins at the Daytime Emmys, taking home the trophy 16 times to date.

Scroll through the gallery below to see the stage plaque and how much fun the cast and crew had celebrating this momentous achievement!
