So i just read that General Hospital has over 60 seasons and the longest airing show ever is Guiding Light at 72 seasons.
So like are each season consistent with the last? Do they reference something that happened 10seasons ago? Do they use the same actor/actress for all seasons? Is soap operas just a dramatized version of real life?

I’ve not heard of General Hospital but the UK’s ‘Coronation Street’ about life in the north of England is the world’s longest running soap. It started in the 60s and it still going on. Characters come back every now and then and the audience get to see character grow up in real time and occasionally it has such a cultural impact that story lines get referenced in Parliament. It’s successful as it reflects the issues that impact the audience at the time and show how different scenarios play out.
