However, they can lay between 1 and 9 clutches, or groups, of eggs per season and some species may visit more than one beach per nesting season. Each clutch can have between 50 and 200 eggs, depending on the turtle species. These eggs are approximately the size and shape of ping pong balls and have a soft, leathery shell. Reply
Guinness World Records General Hospital was listed as âthe longest-running American soap opera in productionâ in the Guinness World Records. Itâs also the third longest-running scripted drama series in production, after the ever popular Guiding Light and As The World Turns. But, it also hold an important third-place in the worldâs longest-running scripted drama, after The Archers and Coronation Street (which are both British TV shows). Over the years, the running time of the show has evolved from 39 minutes to 45 to 60.
Allegedly, the term soap opera was coined because these shows were sponsored by a company that made cleansers. By the early 1950s, soap operas had switched over to television, and daytime TV had no shortage of offerings. As you'll see, captivating story lines and characters are the keys to longevity on daytime television. If you're curious about the shortest-running soap, it was NBC's These Are My Children, which lasted only 24 days in 1949. But for the longest-running soap operas, see the next page to get started.
