Felicia's reaction is one of the most heartbreaking moments in soap opera history. Tony's goodbye to BJ should have won Brad Maule a daytime Emmy. It's some of the best acting I've ever seen.
That’s what everyone was say. I’m not a very emotional person, but even I cried when Felicia found out who Maxie got her heart from. I remember thinking that Kristina Wagner was just a beautiful face, and no acting skills. Boy was I wrong! She and Brad gave one of the best performances in daytime. Over time we have seen couples lose children on daytime, but nothing came close to the writing, and the actors gave during this time. Watching Jaclyn Zeeman at the Nurses Ball 4-23 remembering all the key moments of her time in GH made me remember this wonderful time in GH history.❤️
Revisiting these clips to see Jackie Zeman, RIP. The fact that Brad Maule didn't receive an Emmy for this and not until later always bothered me so much!
@@giannacaradonna3485 Honestly, in my opinion, Brad Maule was such an incredible actor that every scene he did deserved an award. Especially this one, but he just was amazing.
I watched this when it originally aired. I still cry every time I see it. Brad Maule definitely deserved an Emmy. All the actors on that set I’m sure were crushed. I have heard Brad Maule say he could only do it in one take.
Watching this knowing Jackie, Stuart, and Shell are now gone. Thank the gods their talents are immortalized this way. This storyline was just so heartbreakingly real to watch. It still socks me in the gut some three decades later. Thanks to the uploader.
@@lorijudge2731 💯 I wish they created these impactful storylines and interweaved characters, and remembered backstories...and love stories that to me is what daytime television was about
After Bobbies passing I started watching these and this clip brought me to tears I was a kid the first time I saw this and it still makes me cry. I have been watching this show since I was 12 years old and I will never stop.
Easily one of the best, most shocking storylines I've ever seen on GH! I didn't have the internet at the time nor did I read soap magazines so I had NO clue this storyline was coming. It was unbelievable. Literally all of the actors in these scenes were amazing, especially Brad Maule.
Brad Maule & Jack & Kristina Wagner Lynn Herring definitely played the crap out of there role script!! Great acting Felicia and Lucy they still have me in tears after all these years!! Lynn Herring & Kristina Wagner 🎬💕🙌💯💯💯💯
This clip was so heartbreaking. Frisco/Felecia are so happy that Maxie gets her miracle. She gets a heart, but then they are devastated when they learn that the heart belongs to BJ, their little niece.. It was just so sad, and that scene where Frisco learns that, and Tony tells him, it was just pure shock, and he could hardly speak, and he hugged Tony. and said "Thank You, his voice breaking, and then says How sorry he is.. It brings me to tears every time I watch it..
You're right. JW, BM, KW and JZ. did such an amazing performance. They had me in tears during that whole sl.. You didn't want to miss a minute of the show.. I am so happy to be able to rewatch the whole sl again and again. It never gets old for me. I think it affected me more because my 12 year old cousin died instantly and my Aunt donated his organs to people that needed them. She gave the gift of life to other children.. It was a heartbreaking situtation, it was real life...
omg I truly forgot this moment. wow brings me to utter tears. Felica and the Jones family just devastated. I am glad Maxie survived and is still on the show so I here.
Right. And his character was one of the better ones on the show, including Felicia. Bobbie ended up being very judgemental and mean towards Tony a few years later.
I so remember this episode when it first air on!! I'm still crying over watching this episode!! Great acting love Lucy & Felicia ( Lynn Herring & Kristina Wagner) 🎬💕🙌💯
Just watched Bobby funeral. Reminded me of this incredible acting.. BJ all grown up played a reporter at the funeral. I forgot the actress who played BJ was Jackie's daughter... RIP Jackie Zeman
I know Luke & Laura is legend, but I grew up with this storyline. The intro everything takes me back to junior high/high school. I think its because they ended up together in real life for a while. I love Frisco & Felicia...
JW did a good job in this depicting the feeling of needing to be cautious to not over-step where he felt he no longer really had a right and holding back from reaching out to her a few times - must have been a bit of torture for the character but I like that the show had them all being respectful of one another vs. any of them being hostile or aggressive to each other - Very nicely done.
You make excellent points. JW conveyed very well for these characters what would have been obvious discomfort in a real situation between these two parents and the third wheel, Mac. And, Leslie Charleston, Stuart Damon and Shell Kepler were also delicate with the sensitive nature of how they danced around the character Bonnie’s situation. These things could have been overly dramatic because of their soapy melodrama which would’ve thrown off what was playing out in the story of BJ/Maxie. The actors were all so very good!
I wish I knew brad email because although it's 27 years he makes me glad I'm a background actor and hopefully an speaking actor because he did this so emmy worthing well and if he didn't win the emmy he's got the love and forever respect of many fans including myself...who will love him dearly for his real, honest, and superb acting
Connected back to gh with RUclips! Ty for your postings! kristina Wagner deserved a lot more recognition for her work not only this s/l but was involved in so many main stories for years. Sad how gh tptb that've treated her.
Not only soaps, this may hav been the greatest storyline in television. And I will die on that hill. Wasn’t just the heartbreaking storyline at hand, but the knowledge and the history the viewers had with these characters, that affected the story. You couldn’t achieve that with any other genre.
I remember this storyline, it brought me to tears back then, now that I'm reliving it, brings it all back, I was so invested in these actors and the characters they played
I've been watching GH for 45 years and I remember everything!! First Taina dies by a hit and run accident caused by Corey and her daughter BJ gets killed off the same exact way by a bus accident!! I've said this before GH is always bringing people back from the dead they need to bring back the Jones family!! Tania said it before she got killed off Tony helped cover Duke death and he was working for the mob she told Tony if he helped Duke the mob was going to retaliate it's a storyline I'm still waiting for them to bring on.. Anything is possible on GH
Wow, good memory. That was a great storyline. The mob did retaliate on Tony just not directly related to Duke, but if I remember correctly Tony was kind of pressured into helping Duke. And at least one Jones came back from the dead.
Wow, the scene was cut off just short of showing Wagner's reaction to what Tony told him. Dang! So you weren't able to really feel and appreciate the whole moment.
THIS WAS THE GUT WRENCHING STORYLINE. I ALSO KINDA FIND IT IRONIC THAT FRISCO AND FELICIA WERE MARRIED IN REAL LIFE AND HAVE A CHILD WHO REALLY DIED. SAD
After watching GH since the beginning in the 60’s this storyline and in particular this episode, I was not able to watch GH until 2010 my heart broke so badly to think they had the wee girl die and I wasn’t even a parent back then. It’s just the saddest show of all time for me.
LOOKING AT THE SCENE WITH AMY, BOBBIE AND ALAN, ALL 3 VERY TALENTED PEOPLE ARE GONE FROM THIS WORLD. GH HAS HAD AND HAS VERY TALENTED PEOPLE TALENTED PEOPLE
Oh god not barbara Jean's heart ! I'm sobbing so hard right now. I think monica really was thinking of tony. Too hard to be there . Traumatic. Here is the difference in the last golden age of soaps which was the 90s. Jake webber coming back from.being brain dead & donating an organ to Jocelyn was just like bj being brain dead & the heart to maxie. Jake being alive is so ridiculous it's like if bj suddenly came back after 5 years. And that is why soaps are a mess & all the good writers & producers are either dead or retired. I stopped watching gh in 2012 bc I saw the oltl crew ruining gh just like oltl & I checked in on it in 2015 & seeing jake was alive was so stupid I just shut gh off . I watched again for Jason's return & it was a mess. I'm done & i know partly low budget is to blame but good solid writing doesnt need money. Except to pay the writers but if the writing is good & their are still good actors then that's all u need. Who cares about big budget locations or extra sets or glitzy clothes or special effects. Plays are done on one stage.
Felicia's reaction is one of the most heartbreaking moments in soap opera history. Tony's goodbye to BJ should have won Brad Maule a daytime Emmy. It's some of the best acting I've ever seen.
Can't stop crying
She should Have Got A Award to And the Little Girl who played Maxie when she found out

I feel they should have never let BJ die. It was just too much for everyone.
Wow...just wow back in the day when the soaps were so well written...
This storyline killed me the first time....and I'm crying again. This was so well written and the actors were all amazing. I miss this crew.
One of the most powerful stories any soap has ever told they don’t make soaps like that anymore
@@lorijudge2731 💯
I wish they created these impactful storylines and interweaved characters, and remembered backstories...and love stories that to me is what daytime television was about
@@rosanneperkins9516 Right! Love in the Afternoon.
1994-1995 GH had the best cast
After Bobbies passing I started watching these and this clip brought me to tears I was a kid the first time I saw this and it still makes me cry. I have been watching this show since I was 12 years old and I will never stop.
R.I.P. Jacklyn Zeman. Her performance here is incredible.
YES SHE WAS
SO WAS BRAD
Rip to the legendary Jacklyn Zeman 🥺💔🙏🏿🤍🕊️
This entire cast. They brought their A game! Bobbie, Tony, Alan, Amy, Monica, Felicia, Mac, Frisco, Lucy
This was ghs heydey. Man i miss those days
Watching this hit me just like it did years ago. This was the first time a story line on tv brought tears from my eyes, this really broke my heart.
Kristina wagner. Omg she was incredible here
Easily one of the best, most shocking storylines I've ever seen on GH! I didn't have the internet at the time nor did I read soap magazines so I had NO clue this storyline was coming. It was unbelievable. Literally all of the actors in these scenes were amazing, especially Brad Maule.
This was before there were spoilers, you didn’t know what was going to happen. It was truly shocking

Me too!!
TALK ABOUT BEING AT BOTH ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM. HARD PLACE TO BE
no matter how many times I watch this-I just cry my eyes out
This was the most amazing storyline on this show. Still gets me after all these years.
Nobody got an Emmy for this storyline? Unbelievable
That's what I'm saying!
PATHETIC ISNT IT!!
IT SCREAMS FAVORITISM
AND GH WASNT ON THAT LIST
Frisco and Felicia are the Godparents. This was an amazing storyline. Tears ever time I rewatch
You're right. JW, BM, KW and JZ. did such an amazing performance. They had me in tears during that whole sl.. You didn't want to miss a minute of the show..

^ an important storyLine Imho . about organ donation .
So many tears then, tears now in 2023. Brilliant acting by the cast of G.H. 😢😢😢😢
I still remember Felicia’s reaction and think of it as one of the most emotional moments on film.
Rest In Peace Jackie this storyline gutted me
back when soap actors could act
omg I truly forgot this moment. wow brings me to utter tears. Felica and the Jones family just devastated. I am glad Maxie survived and is still on the show so I here.
Years later this still make us cry.
This is so sad because not only is it about BJ dying but this triggers the downward spiral of Tony, turning him almost unrecognizable
Right. And his character was one of the better ones on the show, including Felicia. Bobbie ended up being very judgemental and mean towards Tony a few years later.
Still my best favorite storyline ever
This was so raw emotional
Awesome acting by all the key players
And sad!
What a powerful story
THIS WAS BY FAR, THE MOST GUT WRENCHING STORYLINE EVER ON GH
One of the most heartbreaking storylines ever on soap opera history.
I agree 😭
When General Hospital was the best.
The story and the acting was excellent back then. Not rushed like it is nowadays.
Brad Maule should have won an emmy for this :'(
Agreed.
But you know what his fans who praise and love him too this day is more than a golden statue
@@kenyattasimpson8468 I wholeheartedly agree.
Yep, Tony went downhill from here.
@@penny4chz well he lost his first wife and only child he was related to biologically 😭
I so remember this episode when it first air on!! I'm still crying over watching this episode!! Great acting love Lucy & Felicia ( Lynn Herring & Kristina Wagner) 🎬💕🙌💯

This story line killed me as teenager. And still kills me as an adult BJ Tony's daughter had to die to save her cousin Frisco's daughter.
Me too.
And where is Dr. Moni a
Her *uncle* Frisco’s daughter FYI
I remember this like yesterday! Still hits just as hard.

This is when GH storylines
made sense!
“Not Barbara Jean. Not Barbara Jean’s heart” 😭😭😭
The iconic Jacklyn Zeman.
I wish I knew brad email because although it's 27 years he makes me glad I'm a background actor and hopefully an speaking actor because he did this so emmy worthing well and if he didn't win the emmy he's got the love and forever respect of many fans including myself...who will love him dearly for his real, honest, and superb acting
I totally agree about Tony!!
@@joanfrench7393 so do I!
Outstanding acting!!!
Connected back to gh with RUclips! Ty for your postings! kristina Wagner deserved a lot more recognition for her work not only this s/l but was involved in so many main stories for years. Sad how gh tptb that've treated her.
Hell of a story line

Kristina Wagner play the crap out of her role script!! 🎬💕🙌💯
I remember this storyline, it brought me to tears back then, now that I'm reliving it, brings it all back, I was so invested in these actors and the characters they played
This must be the most dramatic tragic storyline on daytime television. Really sad. 😔
I miss great stories like this.
Amazing s/l. Such an ensemble cast where so many characters crossed paths. I love getting na
This storyline was absolutely heartbreaking. All involved were incredible. And the jones brother believable brothers. Gh messed all the characters up.

I like Mac but I loooved Frisco & Felicia together.
I've been watching GH for 45 years and I remember everything!! First Taina dies by a hit and run accident caused by Corey and her daughter BJ gets killed off the same exact way by a bus accident!!

As a wife to a transplant recipient who has met our donor mom this story line touches me so.
WOW
Wow, the scene was cut off just short of showing Wagner's reaction to what Tony told him. Dang! So you weren't able to really feel and appreciate the whole moment.
I'm pretty sure I just posted a clip with the reaction, in case you haven't seen it yet.
I am crying all over again 😢
I still cry
THIS WAS THE GUT WRENCHING STORYLINE. I ALSO KINDA FIND IT IRONIC THAT FRISCO AND FELICIA WERE MARRIED IN REAL LIFE AND HAVE A CHILD WHO REALLY DIED. SAD
They were all great but lucy recounting her love for bj was a sucker punch i wasn't expecting. Great use of history those were the days.
This was when soap actors were the epitome of actors❤❤❤❤
the writers were sooo hard on Tony
OH this one made me cry so much
❤Met actor Brad M. What a Sweet 💚‼️
After watching GH since the beginning in the 60’s this storyline and in particular this episode, I was not able to watch GH until 2010 my heart broke so badly to think they had the wee girl die and I wasn’t even a parent back then. It’s just the saddest show of all time for me.
The footage of BJ dancing ballet, was that real life or on screen?
must’ve been so hard for Monica to hold her composure knowing that the heart she was giving Maxis was BJ’s but she couldn’t tell anyone in that room
Seeing this mad me cry all over again we need this Writers on GH now the show getting boring
I MISS ALAN
I really wish Frisco would have been with Felicia when she found out. I think the only thing I would have changed in this s/l
Remember this storyline like it was yesterday. Back in the great days of GH Always disliked the mob story of Sonny etc.
ITA
LOOKING AT THE SCENE WITH AMY, BOBBIE AND ALAN, ALL 3 VERY TALENTED PEOPLE ARE GONE FROM THIS WORLD. GH HAS HAD AND HAS VERY TALENTED PEOPLE TALENTED PEOPLE

Tony's death was tearjerker too
They should really put this episode on tv for jackieee who die :( 🥺
why did you take the part out when tony's talking to b.j. before the surgery? :'(
I know this is years too late, but I'm pretty sure I just posted it.
Killed me 💔😫🥺
This is when GH had good writers with good storylines but now it’s confounded BS
Bobbie is so beautiful. Not a GH fan but am watching some of these videos .my favorite is Lucky Spencer. Really don't like Monica though
"Felicia's reaction is one of the most heartbreaking moments in soap history"......@tracyroweauthor I agree.
