Other than the British soap “Coronation Street,” it is the world’slongest-running soap opera.
Given how long it’s been on the air, there have been some controversial moments.
However, there is one episode in particular that has featured some lines that have aged poorly.
While Luke and Laura’s wedding set record ratings, their union was controversial.
According toTV Line, the couple’s first run-in with one another was violent.
Luke actually raped Laura when they met.
During their wedding, the officiant said lines that would not fly today.
At least they realized how upsetting this storyline was.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
A love triangle between cousins
“General Hospital” had a controversial storyline that boarded incest.
According toFame 10, character Georgie Jones had a crush on someone, but not just anyone.
It was her own cousin, Lucas Jones.
While the pair were related strictly through adoption, not by blood, it was still a bit awkward.
She developed these feelings for Lucas after helping him realize he had dyslexia.
They would even go to prom together!
The storyline got even worse when Georgie’s sister, Maxie, became involved.
It turned into this strange cousin’s love triangle (viaSoaps In Depth).
Sure, they weren’t biologically related, but still.
This jot down of storyline likely wouldn’t fly today.
However, it was all a test on Edward’s part.
According toSoaps in Depth, Edward had a feeling his daughter was up to no good.
When she failed to give her father the medication, Edward cut her out of the family.
