That blows my mind! I recall rushing in to watch “Dark Shadows” and catching the last few minutes of GH. 1967. Damn! I wonder how much ABC has billed for that show over its run?
Don’t know. It’s in its 57th season this year. It still has a link to its original star, John Beradino (Dr. Steve Hardy) who played the role until his death in 1996 (for 33 years). His character’s granddaughter is a major character and they have Hardy’s protégés still on.
