General Hospital, a television soap opera, debuted in 1963 on the ABC Network, securing its status as Hollywood's longest-running serial and ABC television history's lengthiest entertainment program.
With an impressive record of 14 wins, it holds the most Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. As the iconic soap opera reaches its 60th anniversary, the special celebration, "General Hospital: 60 Years of Stars and Storytelling," is set to air in Prime Time on ABC.
The anniversary promises to take viewers on a nostalgic journey through the show's rich history, featuring familiar faces like Emma sus and Amber Tamblyn, highlighting the dramatic storylines and iconic moments that have shaped television history.
However, despite her title as Megan, The Duchess of Sussex, she did not receive an invitation to General Hospital's 60th-anniversary celebration, adding to a list of Hollywood events where she has not been invited.
Megan, also known as The Duchess of Sussex, has consistently found herself without invitations to Hollywood award shows for four years. The recent exclusion from General Hospital's celebration contributes to a pattern where Hollywood has seemingly made it clear that the couple, Prince Harry and Megan, is not a part of its circle. In an exclusive interview, former BBC Royal correspondent Michael Cole noted that Americans have grown weary of the couple, perceiving them as bringing negativity to everything they touch.
Over the past year, the couple has faced challenges, alienating themselves from the U.S. public and powerful media companies that once supported them. Recent opinion polls also indicate that Prince William and Princess Katherine enjoy more popularity on both sides of the Atlantic. The Hollywood Reporter has labeled Harry and Megan as among Hollywood's biggest losers in 2023, criticizing their Netflix documentary, Harry's biography, and their podcast that ended with their Spotify dismissal and accusations of being grifters.
Crisis management specialist Mark Bowski stated that show business is attracted to success, emphasizing that negativity is not embraced in Tinsel Town. He predicts that 2024 will be a pivotal year for the couple, either marking a recovery with a positive approach or the potential undoing of their brand. The ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Sussexes suggests that a change is necessary for their Hollywood journey.
