Quite persuasively argued, Louis.
Though you may suspect I'm fibbing here, in fact just awhile ago I was rethinking my unnecessarily snarky comment. Now, SOME snark WAS warranted, mind you, as what prompted it was memories of all the Luke & Laura hoopla, hype which even landed them on the cover of my beloved (back then) Newsweek.
But y'know, then I remembered that a HUGE number of very nice little ol' ladies--and many not-so-ol' ladies, not to mention a scattering of men and these days surely an oversized percentage of transsexuals--simply love that show, and a lot of them simply BECAUSE it nowadays is the senior soap...so yeah, let General Hospital live on in perpetuity, like Today and Tonight.
