General Hospital: Night Shift was an American prime time serial that ran from July 12, 2007 to October 4, 2007, and then aired a second season from July 22, 2008 to October 21, 2008. Prior to its premiere, SOAPnet had announced that Night Shift would "delve deeper into the relationships, friendships and medical cases seen at the hospital." It was noted that unlike General Hospital itself, the stories on Night Shift would wrap up during each weekly one-hour episode, as well as being understandable to viewers who do not watch General Hospital. With the goal to attract younger viewers, characters would be plucked from General Hospital's history and be mostly comprised of younger characters with ties to GH's core families. Night Shift's storylines, however, did not directly intersect with those on General Hospital.
