In the soap opera General Hospital, Eddie Maine is an alias of the character named Ned Quartermaine.
General Hospital, which premiered on April 1, 1963, was created by writers Frank and Doris Hursley. It was one of two hospital-based daytime dramas to debut on that day, the other being The Doctors. Despite predating the peak of the feminist movement, the show appealed to a female audience by breaking away from traditional soap opera settings. Instead of focusing solely on family dynamics in the home, General Hospital shifted its attention to the workplace and explored relationships between coworkers.
The show's creators designed the hospital staff as a large surrogate family. The storylines constantly shifted between personal and professional challenges faced by the main characters. In its early years, the drama revolved around the friendship of Dr. Steve Hardy and nurse Jessie Brewer, highlighting their complicated love lives.
