I also watched the last five years of Phillips’ masterpiece “As the World Turns,” and a good bit of “Santa Barbara” in the late ’80s and early ’90s. It’s where “General Hospital” has been set since it premiered in 1963. I have lived all 50 of those years in Westmoreland, but at the same time, I have also lived 47 of them in “another world,” a fictional town in Upstate New York, called Port Charles. “We do not live in this world alone,” Phillips wrote. In 1964, one year after “General Hospital” premiered, Irna Phillips, the most important writer you’ve probably never heard of, wrote a credo for a new series she was creating called, “Another World.” And when we’re very lucky we get a visit from the wonderful Denise Alexander as Lesley Webber. Robin Mattson, still occasionally terrorizes the fictional town of Port Charles as a butcher knife-wielding serial murder Heather Webber. Wikipedia lists her as the sixth-longest serving soap opera performer in American history. Monica Quartermaine for forty-two years, she still appears regularly on the show. Leslie Charleson has played the role of Dr. I can recall it as vividly as the time Lesley Webber showed on the steps of the Quartermaine mansion to confront Monica about having a baby with her (Lesley’s) husband Rick and things escalated to the point the scene ended up with a slap that General Hospital fans still talk about to this day. One of my earliest childhood memories is of the time Heather Webber tried to frame Anne Logan for Diana Taylor’s murder by writing her name in the blood next to her corpse.
