Daytime Emmy Awards 2023 is currently airing its 50th annual installment on CBS. The show is set to celebrate stars, shows, and series that have left a mark on fans' minds. One of the shows honored tonight is General Hospital, which has been on air for 60 years. The show first aired in 1963 and is the longest-running serial in ABC television history.

The Awards celebrated the show completing 60 years this year in the form of a montage. However, the clips they chose to include didn't sit well with fans. They took to social media to express their disappointment.

One person, @Danes_Amy, wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter):

"That #GH #DaytimeEmmys montage was not 60 years of memorable moments...that was a joke. When you think of GH, you think of none of those moments."

Stay tuned for more Daytime Emmy Awards updates.

However, the awards show wanted to honor General Hospital's 60 years on air with a video montage. While fans were ecstatic that the long-running show got the recognition it deserved, they were unhappy with the montage itself as they believed that some key moments were missing.
