5 Most Iconic General Hospital Moments That Live In Fans' Heads Rent-Free, Ranked
No matter how many years have passed, some things are truly unforgettable.
With General Hospital being on the air for so many years, it's easy to forget some storylines or even entire characters. Over the course of 60 years, so many people have come and gone from the soap that no one would judge the average viewer for not remembering something small.
However, there are some moments in the show's history that are impossible to forget, no matter how many years have passed.
Here are the top 5 moments that changed General Hospital forever, ranked from extremely important to “Princess Diana tuned in to watch it, too.”
5. Lucky Saves Elizabeth (1998)
Liz and Lucky had easily the most wholesome love story in the whole of the series, which began back in 1998 with Lucky finding her in the park and bringing her home. And, although the characters are not together anymore, fans still hope for them to reunite.
4. Luke Rapes Laura (1979)
Perhaps the most controversial yet absolutely unforgettable shocking moment happened 20 years earlier than General Hospital learned to handle the issue of sexual assault right. Although that was also the beginning of a great romance, the viewers still feel the major ick from the story.
3. Stone’s Death (1995)
The whole arc with Stone Cates getting diagnosed with AIDS and suffering from complications was extremely important to the viewers. However, his simple yet so powerful death scene caused many fans to cry for days in pain of losing him in this impossible battle with the disease.
2. First Ever Nurses’ Ball (1994)
Of course, The Nurses’ Ball has become a tradition supported by General Hospital for many years now. Back then, however, the idea to create a special with all the cast members performing some musical and dancing numbers while staying in character was absolutely revolutionary.
1. Luke And Laura’s Wedding
No matter how questionable the beginning of their relationship was, the reception of their wedding episode was absolutely insane. From breaking the record on daytime TV views to having Princess Diana send a special gift to the cast, this moment will forever stay not only in our memory but in television history.
