While the cast of “General Hospital” are who we think of when talking about ABC’s sole remaining daytime drama series, with glimpses of executive producer Frank Valentini and head writers Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor shown from time to time in interviews and on social media, it is the people behind the scenes who we never get to see and hear from that also make the show what it is year in and year out.
To help honor those who play a significant role in the daily production of “General Hospital,” the series aired its full 2023 end credits on Tuesday, January 2, listing all those engineers, lighting directors, costumers, hairstylists, music connoisseurs, assistant directors, editors, office assistants, accountants, producers, technicians, carpenters, boom and audio operators, art directors, and so many more positions that are needed to make life in Port Charles, or more specifically The Prospect Studios in Hollywood, an easy one.
Although airing after a dramatic episode in which Carly (Laura Wright) learned her mother, Bobbie Spencer (the late Jacklyn Zeman), had passed away, the end credits are an annual recap to honor those working behind the scenes throughout the previous calendar year. Therefore, the music played during the credits was meant to highlight the holiday season and in no way detract viewers from the storylines shown on-screen, which is something that caused quite a stir on social media shortly after it aired, but we won’t get into all of that.
What follows is a breakdown of those people working behind the scenes in 2023 who helped in some way, big or small, to create the “General Hospital” fans have come to love and enjoy.
