My god the memories come flooding in. Thank you very much for this.
Yep. Watching with my grandmother.
This was during the absolute height of popularity for GH, the Luke and Laura era. I forgot that young Demi Moore was on here too.
It’s from slightly after the initial Luke and Laura era - this is from right after Genie Francis left. That’s why Luke is talking about searching for missing Laura.
Me too! My jaw actually dropped when I saw her!
Don’t forget Rick Springfield!
Actually GF was already gone for Bare Essence so the ratings started skipping pretty bad! ,1982 was a horrible year for HH. AMC was at the too that year...now THAT is a soap!
@@cher3093 And John Stamos if you want to get technical.
This was back in the day when watching the soaps, like drugs. Was Very addictive. and I was a kid back in the 80's.
I didn't watch it, but my sister and her friends were obsessed with it. After school they'd race home to watch it. And you couldn't DVR it, or binge-watch when you had the time. Different time.
@@NJGuy1973 when I say watching the soaps back in the day was addictive. I mean that in a GOOD WAY. again, I was just a kid in the 80's and General Hospital pulled me way in... LOL...enjoy your day MY FRIEND.
@@darrellmfume3513 I've had my share of TV addictions.
I missed those days myself back when I was a child than yrs ago brings back pleasant memories.
WOW.This really brought me so many memories. Thank you!! 💛
Back in the days when commercials weren't all pharmaceutical pill pushers!
And insurance 🙄
And fast food
Prescription drug ads didn’t appear on tv (including soaps) until late 1997 or 1998.
Thanks for sharing this. It's right after Genie Francis left, which is why they have a quasi-lookalike played by Janine Turner. I wonder if Janine and Demi Moore ever talked about playing sisters on here in that early '90s period when they were both big names. And thanks for the rare King's Crossing promo.
You can most definitely upload more soaps this is wonderful😊
OMG i just recited the Dow Scrubbing bubbles commercial word for word and I havent seen that commercial in at least 40 years! Now thats some scary shit!
Same 😂😂😂
the age of soap tv and Saturdays i miss the most
Dristan! I haven’t thought of that in ages. My mother used this for colds and flu.
Wow, I remember these faces! I used to sit through these with my grandmother because I knew Rocky and Bullwinkle came on after. I was so little I couldn’t even say “soap opera”, so I called them “so-boppers”.
Watched this everyday after school - I was obsessed! The good ol’ days.
Shell Kepler was such a cutie pie why the writers never developed AMY into a major character is beyond me.
They made her character so unlikable she may not have been popular enough.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 I liked her. She was cute. I'm guessing you don't like her because you're female...why is it girls have to hate on other girls because their pretty?
Agree. I’ve always felt the writers and producers did Shell Kepler and the character of Amy wrong. First with never developing any real so long relationship between Amy and Laura. There really should have been much more to their relationship than we saw. At first there were a hint of jealousy on both sisters parts and then nothing. They should have played that up. Then, we should have seen their relationship actually develop over the years and it didn’t. They were practically strangers. Amy had more of a relationship with Mike and Blackie in a few short years than she ever did with Laura. Then also, Amy should have had more leading men in her life. She had ONE steady boyfriend: Johnny, the boxer. And that was short-lived. What a shame. Also, We should have seen Amy develop into a leading nurse. SHE should have become the Jessie on the floor, as we saw Bobbie become more of the Audrey of nurses later on and in the OR. And she could have been pivotal in helping to train Liz and others on the floor prior to Liz moving on to the OR schedules. And she certainly should have had a better tribute when She’ll passed away in real life. ❤️💫✨
13:58 is the most important part of this video if you live in a snowy climate!
It's impressive how long some of these soaps run.
Very few. This show show should have been cancelled as far back as the 90's. It's like the stupidest program on TV!
The good old days of morning television
It came on in the afternoon?
I actually remember when Monica ,the first one, along with Jeff and a couple of others joined the cast.
The Abc soaps were always the most engaging to me and General hospital was especially my favorite of the three in the 80s when I was very small. I even told “Scotty” Kin Shriner how I paid attention at my high chair to the show more than eating my lunch which my mom would Holler over the running water for the dishes or washing machine at me to finish my food!
No offense but HTF are you going to understand a soap opera(sec and violence) when you're just a BABY??? Get real!
The ABC soaps were MORE lively , brighter- more colorful- better production / sets / lighting. Better characters & stories. Those NBC and CBS shows were so SLOW and BORING and the sets looked so sleepy and depressing ..... CBS was especially dowdy and cheap.
This clip has almost everything you could hope for in a GH clip from the golden era late ‘70s/early ‘80s: remnants of the recently ended, but long-running bizarre Alan-Monica-Rick dirty-doctors love triangle (with bonus Alan-Monica screaming match); Luke-and-Laura intrigue (thanks to Genie Francis bolting for prime-time fame and fortune----glad that turned out well….); a typical stopover at Kelly’s so characters can discuss their storylines/plights with Rose et al.; and the sinister Svengali David Gray creeping about. Perfect time-capsule clip. Also a reminder of the lame attempt to replace Laura with the Templeton sisters---a Laura look-alike and Marlboro-voiced Demi Moore. Yeah, that totally made us forget about her. Even the later revelation that a Cassadine scooped Laura up out of the boat and basically made her a sex slave is not as lame as the Templeton sisters storyline. (Hat tip to Rose, though, one of very few blondes who ever lit my fire.)
Genie didn't leave bc she wanted bigger roles. Listen to her story, about the drugs on set, and being told Luke was the show and she was nothing. We saw how well it went without her, they begged her back.
First off, Francis returned to GH only temporarily after "Bare Essence" failed when Geary decided to leave the show for the first time, so they did a "Laura is alive and they lived happily ever after" thing, then they both left, I believe, until the early '90s (I stopped watching circa '89). Second, the "Bare Essence" mini-series ran in October '82, then the series began early in '83. A big package deal like that takes lots of time to plan and shoot, so the timing indicates she was lured away from GH, likely in late '81, considering that she left in early '82. then immediately started working on "Bare Essence."
@@frankrossi6972 That may well all be part of the picture, but Mrs. Francis clearly talked about the fact that the major turning point for her in walking away was an incident in her dressing room when she was having some personal difficulties and was told it didn't matter whether she lived or died, Tony carried the whole show. She also stated she was introduced to cocaine a bit before this, and needed to go off set to seek help and rest, etc.
Yeah. You do realize that stars need not tell the truth during media interviews and often use them to make themselves look good, right? In this case, she could have been trying to find a legit excuse to leave the show without the fans hating her. Based on the era soap actors' long hours, the cocaine thing rings true, but the quote about Geary sounds like PR-spun hyperbole, and something overly dramatic that a scriptwriter would write, like a line from "The Bad and the Beautiful" or some other Hollywood-life movie. Everything a celebrity says to the media is designed to craft their image and serve a purpose, or else they wouldn't talk to the media
Yeah I also think Genie left for greener pastures. I think she may be massaging reality a bit in her present day interviews so that she doesn’t have to talk about her short-lived foray into primetime.
I loved Loanne Bishop as Rose and was sorry when she left. She turned up on Mad Men a few years back, as a soap opera fan who approached Megan Draper (who had just gotten a job on a soap opera). I thought it was a nice touch to cast her that way.
I think I had the same thin headband or whatever it is called that Laura had on. Gotta love the 80s!
The least WLS could do is to softly play the GH closing theme as background music behind their personalized voiceovers.
My Auntie Yvonne used too watch General Hospital back in the 80's!
Mary Ann Childers! Wow this really takes me back, so glad to have been young at this time #80sKid
Almost 40 years ago.
I remember watching this back then
Sing it with me!
General Hospitale
I just cant cope....without mah soap!
You probably dont remember
I remember. 🙂
General Hospi-tale..... Ooh number one..... General Hospi-tale.... Paging Dr Noah Drake to fix a case of a broken heart.....Lol!
@@erroljr.7480 🤣🤣🤣
The song you brought up is a novelty 45rpm single called "General Hospi-Tale" by The Afternoon Delights. Entering the Billboard Hot 100 on 7-25-81, the single peaked at #33 during a 16 week chart stay. I usually put this song up with Gary Burbank's "Who Shot J.R." (1980) as a double-play for soap opera novelty tunes. Both are funny classics from back in the day.
@@MrYoumatic will be looking up the other song too
Al Parker and his son Neil, were both teachers of mine at Columbia College in 1982
Even as a young man I had a thing for Monica :)
I see the local station did the voice over at the end. The ABC voice over would have said, "stay tuned for The Edge of Night". I guess this station did not run it or ran it earlier in the day.
That could be. We never got Loving or Ryan's Hope. Just the main 3.
Nice Video'.
I miss these days
I remember FYI. I haven't seen this since the 80's.
Dang I wanted to hear the GH ending theme
Where was I in '73?
About 2yrs from being born.
I was 15 (about to turn 16 that May) when this aired on TV
ALAN quATERMiane looking ready for anight at StUDIO 54 LOL
A few weeks after I was born
So even WLS, an ABC owned and operated station, didn’t show The Edge of Night in pattern after GH.
Geary owns every scene. Always alive, you can't take your eyes off him.
Ahhhh,right before the crazy guy was gonna freeze the planet!
(1:25) "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV."
13:00 I was coming in from school by this time
Demi is 🔥❣️
I wasn't even born yet. I was born on march 20
I would appreciate if you would not play the back ground music so loud. It is hard to hear and understand the actors.
Huh? Who are you addressing this comment to? The creators of General Hospital?
shell kepler, Anthony geary is great actor.
14:51 Kings Crossing ? Like what ? a nighttime soap that lasted 3 weeks ?
Oh gosh... pre vcr too. So everybody had to catch up on what they missed by talking to friends or buying soap opera digest. Dig Parasite and the I Spit on your grave box cover era Demi (thats her back on there). Now I gotta go. My book club selection came in the mailbox, my mr coffees done its work, my avon lady is coming at noon so i can get her out to do the 20 min workout and then richard simmons and donahue comes on right before GH. And if you water the macrame hanging plants in your jane fonda leotard everybody at the apartment complex accuses you of giving a free show.
Is it true that the show killed Tony Geary's Luke off screen recently after all these years? 😔😔
Supposedly... But i dont believe it. Its somehow tied into Hollys return.... Stay tuned!
"Edge of Night" must not have aired in Chicago.
It aired at 9:30 in the morning.
@@anthonyaustin3370 got ya
And forty years later, we still haven’t solved the gun control issue.
@defnoodles here isn't this what you're covering lately
The most over used line in the history of tv monica says this is my house and alan answers I gave it to you and even with alan gone they always still say this is monicas house alan gave it to her
