There's only one Helena: Elizabeth Taylor. I remember being in junior high, rushing home after school so I wouldn't miss one minute of GH. This was at a time when there were 12-15 soap operas on the air and the Luke and Laura phenomenon was sweeping the nation. Elizabeth Taylor wasn't the only royalty that was a fan: A real royal, the late Princess Diana was a fan. Soaps sure were good back in the day.
I think I'm the only Gen Z'er who watches this show. I would have loved to see Elizabeth Taylor reprise the role of Helena. Although the current actress is significantly scarier and more intimidating.
No one can ever out shine Elizabeth Taylor! Magnificent in every way! 💎 💋. But Constance Towers gave HELENA her own touch of OTT drama, much as Marj Dusay did for Alexandra Spaulding on GL. Recent tease was disappointing. GH needs HELENA back!. Would love to have seen her go up against Victor ! 😎
That's a very erotic scene between Liz and Tony Geary. The way she puts her hands on him like a spider and flashes those hypnotic eyes is very intense to watch.
Yes, I recently learned that they were actually fucking in real life. Even though I've also heard Geary was gay, I wouldn't be surprised if he succumbed to Liz's seduction.
There's a blooper of this scene where Anthony Geary fumbles his lines, then says, It's fucking Elizabeth Taylor. Lol They had a short and sweet relationship.
Well there you have it - despite a two time Academy Award winning actress acting in this scene, the acting is STILL unbelievably bad - therefore, it's not the actors in daytime soap operas that were always lacking - it was the writing, and story lines the whole time - that is all.
Elizabeth intentionally Flubbed her lines. Daytime Emmy For Best Actress Was Beneath Her, & Of Course she wouldve won it. Elizabeth only aspired to be showcased on Bloopers & Practical Jokes, What a Shame
No. she did this for one thing only-the paycheck! people don’t realize stars like Elizabeth Taylor, who hadn’t worked steadily in a decade, struggled to maintain their standard of living. she was strapped for cash. stars didn’t have the residuals or production deals common today, that keep the money dribbling in perpetually. This was 1981. It wasn’t until she released her first fragrance that she actually got rich again. and that was 1987.
@manuginobilisbaldspot424 People today act like big stars weren't fans of soaps back in the day. Judy Garland once stopped a show because she saw "Ada from "Another World"" in the audience.

Yes!!
Oh my Goodness over the years I NEVER knew Elizabeth Taylor playing her in General Hospital 🏥 She is The Girl
One of the few times Luke showed fear!! Awesome scene!
I remember & I'm not a GH watcher. Having Taylor on was a huge deal.
Remember this like it was yesterday. GH was at it's fiery best then.
The one and only Helena. Love Constance Towers, but she never captured the mystery and royalty of Taylor's brilliant interpretation.
there's only one Elizabeth Taylor ❤
God I miss the old days!!!!!!!
James Malik don't we all?
James Malik Ditto
What a hoot! Those were the days my friends! LUKE & Laura VS Helena CASSADINE! Yes!
I think I'm the only Gen Z'er who watches this show.
I would have loved to see Elizabeth Taylor reprise the role of Helena. Although the current actress is significantly scarier and more intimidating.
One of the few that could act with her eyes
Elizabeth's eyes act like the great star she was.

Elizabeth Taylor!!!!!!!!!

She was a FANATIC fan of Tony and slept with him off and on for another half dozen years.

That was the begging of the cassadine war with the spencers
General Hospital +Elizabeth Taylor. Perfecto!😊
What great memories! lOVE YOU lIZ!!
They're playing these lines like Shakespeare, honey!
There's a blooper of this scene where Anthony Geary fumbles his lines, then says, It's fucking Elizabeth Taylor. Lol They had a short and sweet relationship.
Oh my god... the size of that ring on her finger is gigantic!
More than likely her own jewels.
Que ojos!!!
Escape from New York music?
Kinda sad that she did not reprise her later on!
Is she putting a curse on Luke ??
nah .. constance towers brought life to Helena. Elizabeth was just a big name.

I like Liz Taylor. I've always liked her, she has beautiful eyes. But I dont like her on General Hospital.
Egregious overacting. Fun!!!
What the hell is a star like this doing on such a silly show?
She was a fan and it was gigantic at the time. She helped make it otherworldly. Different time and place.
It wasn’t silly at the time. Grace Kelly started on soaps and respect ed them as most actors do.
@@ravenel2 They sucked and still do.
