Dr. Steve Hardy
John Beradino
John Beradino’s Dr. Steve Hardy kept General Hospital a medical soap before the supercouple carnival — Port Charles in the 1970s, nurses’ ball politics, hospital hallways, long memory. Patient serialization as the fuse later Luke-and-Laura mania would detonate. TV Flash files him as daytime’s slow-burn physician, not a guest crush.
