Privacy, health, and fan-safety guidance

Respect personal boundaries
Do not look for or publish private phone numbers, home addresses, family locations, private medical details, or non-public contact information.
Use dated sources
Soap-opera returns and exits change quickly. Prefer articles with clear publication dates and official ABC pages for show identity.
Avoid impersonation scams
Be cautious of accounts claiming to represent actors, asking for money, offering private contact, or selling fake access.
Separate fiction from real medicine
General Hospital uses doctors, nurses, and hospital settings as part of a fictional drama. It is not a real patient-care provider.
If you need real medical help
