GH marked its 50th anniversary by bringing back its popular Nurses' Ball, where the characters put on a formal ball, complete with musical performances, to raise money for AIDS and HIV research. There are plans for another Nurses' Ball next spring.
Vicki Dummer, executive vice president of ABC Media Group and Primetime Current Series, says she's been a fan of "GH" for more than 30 years and couldn't be happier.
"Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati have done extraordinary work on 'GH' and have really turned the show around," she said in a recent statement, adding that the goal was to "redefine the show and give it a contemporary feel."
Valentini says he's already looking ahead to story lines for next summer.

"The moment I heard about the concept, the adorable lead character, and what the project stands for, I knew this little girl, La Golda, was a winner! Now that I’m a parent, the importance of the content we allow our children to watch is that much more significant. LA GOLDA is the perfect character to teach my child about the importance of education, respect and giving back all in a fun and vibrant way." [
