This past summer,
General Hospital fans tuned in when SOAPnet launched a limited-run spin-off called
General Hospital: Night Shift. The 13 episodes featured new cast members mixed with cast from the regular show, in plots and situations completely different from (but co-existing with) the storylines airing on the long-running ABC series. In other words, it was a venue to tell more hospi-tales that would not have fit into the regular show's running time. The experiment was very successful, and fans have been wondering if this baker's dozen would make it onto DVD anytime soon.
In fact, several such fans wrote and asked the "Burning Questions" department at the
ABC Hotsheet web site, and they got a great answer:
Q: I am a loyal GH fan who doesn't have access to SOAPnet. Are you going to come out with a DVD for the episodes of GH: Night Shift? - Monica Ceasar, Blakely, GA; Charisse L. Rodgers, Wilmington, RE; Ashley, Rochester, NY; Leslie Phillips, New Brunswick, Canada
A: Yes, it is already in the works. GH: Night Shift is coming to DVD early 2008.
Great news, and we thank reader Thomas A Montalto for passing it on to us, so we could pass it along to all of you! Stay tuned and we'll give you updates when we know more about it.
