GH & Y&R: Anniversary Celebrations

Both The Young & The Restless and General Hospital are having important birthdays in 2013. Y&R will be 40 on March 26, while GH will be 50 on April 1. The networks have started to promote these anniversaries online.

CBS has created a special 40th anniversary website. There is a trivia contest to get to the studio, special live chats and a photo gallery with images through the years.

ABC has a special app for social media. They are also creating collages featuring different characters. There is also a special copy of People Magazine coming out for the 50th and the new book Love in Maine.

Hopefully in the coming weeks, we'll have more surprises and both of these shows celebrate their birthdays.
