Port Charles
originally aired on ABC
Port Charles was a spin-off of the series General Hospital, which has been running since 1963. The series premiered on June 1, 1997, replacing The City, a continuation of the previously cancelled series that ended its 17-month run on March 28. Jon Lindstrom and Lynn Herring played their roles as General Hospital characters. In its later years, the program shifted more towards supernatural themes and stories, with a reduced emphasis on the hospital setting.
