ABC Accused of Not Paying General Hospital Creators Their Rightful Share

As we all know, one of the longest running of the American institution known as soap operas is about to end. General Hospital began airing in 1963, and was created by the couple Frank and Doris Hursley. Apparently, ABC might not have been very honest with them in what the show actually showed in profits.

Both now deceased, the Hursley's daughters (of course. sure they cried fountains) have begun asking questions about just exactly what ABC might owe for the show. The estate of Frank and Doris Hursley has filed suit against ABC claiming that they were not paid the agreed upon rate of 10% of the show's profits.

The suit has been filed in hopes that the judge will quickly force ABC to open their books and set the record straight. The Hursley's claim that ABC has been cooking their books for years, although the lawsuit doesn't specify just how much they think they are owed.
