In 1976, With its ratings in decline, General Hospital expanded to forty-five minutes today, along with its strong-ratings neighbor “One Life To Live”, which moved to 2:30 ET/1:30 PT to begin the 90-minute two-soap block, rendering each soap virtually un-preemptable due to their odd run times. Up until this point, One Life to Live had aired right after General Hospital (on the Pacific Time Zone, however, OLTL would begin airing before GH in April 1974), but would air before GH for the remainder of its run on ABC (January 13, 2012). The move to the 3:15 ET/2:15 PT didnnʹt help; ABC daytime-programming chief Fred Silverman will say that asking viewers to tune in at 3:15/2:15 “almost did us in”, but the show survived once it expanded to an hour at 3/2 CT/PT in 1978, Gloria Monty took over the chief writing duties, inroduced Luke, coupled him with Laura, took them to exotic adventures, and the ratings rivaled some of prime-timeʹs televison shares.
