(Live) By Jay Bobbin Very few television programs last for 60 years, especially in the current media climate. That makes it a big deal, indeed, that the ABC drama "General Hospital" – which has won the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding drama series 14 times, a record – is marking its six-decade milestone with special moments before and after the actual anniversary: April 1, which falls on a Saturday this year. Still, the Monday-through-Friday episodes sur- rounding that date will honor legendary characters and stories (including a tribute to late co-star Sonya Eddy), and bring back the popular Nurses Ball being staged for the first time in three years. Created by Frank and Doris Hursley, the saga of the residents of the fictional Port Charles (now guided by executive producer Frank Valentini) has trans- formed since its 1963 debut, reaching one of its peaks with the 1981 wedding of Luke and Laura Spencer (played by An- thony Geary and continuing cast member Genie Francis) ... to date, the highest-rat- ed dramatic hour in daytime-TV history. However, for whatever romance or espi- onage has been factored in, the center of the show always has been the title medical facility. One of the longtime characters reflect- ing that is Nurse Elizabeth Webber, por- trayed by Rebecca Herbst, who's marking her own "General Hospital" milestone by celebrating her 25th anniversary with the series. The part was created for her, and with her alter ego having gone through affairs and kidnappings and pregnancies over a quarter-century, the three-time Daytime Emmy nominee appreciates that she remains prominent on the show. "It certainly does not feel like it's been 25 years," the pleasant Herbst reflects. "We have so many cast members, I do not envy the writers with their job of keeping everybody on the canvas in these complex stories. It really is amazing to me." Herbst confirms that the mood on the "General Hospital" set has been quite spirited lately. "I feel like we look at each other and just chuckle in a way," she mus- es, "because this show has been around for 60 years. We're not surprised, because it's been a popular show forever and our writers have done a really great job of keeping up with the times. We're just in- credibly grateful that we're still here!"
