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?

*sigh* I’m gonna be that guy…
People keep saying Guiding Light was the longest running soap and was on for 72 years, which is completely accurate … **but** at the same time it’s misleading because it’s counting all the years it was only on radio (1937 -1952). General Hospital is now the world’s second longest-running *televised* soap opera, following only Coronation Street. It passed Guiding Light’s TV run about three years ago.
