General Hospital Spoilers: On ABC’s The Story Of Soaps John Stamos Credits ABC Soap For His career

ABC General Hospital spoilers & updates reveal that tons of John Stamos fans remember him fondly as Blackie Parrish a role he portrayed from 1982 to 1984. Although in the larger picture he might be known best for his role as Jesse Katsopolis on the ABC series Full House, and later its Netflix reboot, Fuller House, he will always be Blackie for millions of hardcore GH loyalists.

Over the years Stamos has been very open about his time on GH. “Without ‘General Hospital’ I’d still be flipping burgers at my dad’s burger joint,” Stamos said on Twitter yesterday. “I am eternally grateful to ‘GH’ and all the folks I learned so much from on that show.”

His tweet was no doubt from the heart and he also used it to promote a very special show airing tonight, May 19 at 9:00 p.m. The ABC primetime special is “The Story of Soaps,” a two-hour look at the daytime drama genre.
