My father work for ABC television for over 30 years. There was a time where he was very sick and he had to stay home laid up. I’ll never forget coming home every day from school and watching General Hospital with him. Totally loyal to his net work I’ll never forget Bobby’s red hair and beautiful face she was a character that was real, and you could relate to. She always changed and grew, your work is unforgettable rest in peace love

I tell you, during this theme was the Golden Era for General Hospital. I can listen to this opening song all day. Just the memory of rushing home from school, just to catch remaining 30 minutes to see Sonny, Brenda, Robin, Stone, Jason, Emily, Lucky, Elizabeth and Nikolas. I miss the old school General Hospital. R.I.P Tyler Christopher "Nikolas Cassadine".

I’ve been a GH fan for decades now Since first year Highschool (1979). I agree this truly is the best GH opener ever. From April 1, 1993 and with a few modifications in 2004 and 2010 it was used up until late 2012 early 2013 then they completely dropped. It’s been terrible ever since it’s 2023 now and It’s still terrible. “ Faces of the Heart” should have been left intact.

Nah, I don't watch anymore. I stopped back in either 2005 or 2006. That was right around the time when Laura Wright became the new Carly. I wasn't feeling the whole Sonny and Emily thing either. It's just too weird now. I did watch a few episodes when Brenda came back a few years ago and she and Sonny got married. And I watched the 50th Anniversary special because I knew some of my old favorites would be back.

Tiffany Waldon Yeah that whole thing with Sonny & Emily creeped me out too! Brenda's returns always bring me back to not missing a show. I've never felt Laura Wright was right for Carly.

@tiffanywaldon48758 жыл бұрын
Right! I have never been a fan of Laura Wright as Carly! Nothing against the actress, because she was great on "Loving" back in the day, but I'm a true Brown/Braun Carly fan! And I did KZbin Luke's final scene with Sonny. Nothing's the same (sniffle, sniffle). Lol
@JmBvhntnt288 жыл бұрын
Tiffany Waldon I never saw "Loving" as I was just a baby. lol but yeah, I wouldn't say its the actress either in way but the way Carly's been written since she took over the role. Guza, who was at GH when Laura got there in 05 tried to hard to make LW's Carly more like Brown. Problem is, Sarah acting(even as Claudia) brought fire to GH like no one else could & has since. Tamara was really sweet but knew how to be tough in the role. / I think Luke's final scene should've been with Laura or (Bobbie - whom he shared his first scene with) but considering Tony doesn't want anything to do with LnL or Genie nowadays, I'm not surprised that didn't happen. *sighs*

LOVE this opening 💕💕 They really need to go back to this. Any that came after doesn't even seem like GH... plus I think it would be a nice way to pay respect to all the we loved answers and characters that were on the show during this time and that were essential to GH history that they have seem to lost sight of and in the 2000s pretty much killed all all the historical families that were core to the show and kept these nobody characters very disappointing but I really do miss this opening and a lot of the characters that make GH the great show that it was but boy did they ruin it I mean how do you get rid of one of the most prominent family on the show the quartermaines?? I had to stop watching the end of the '90s early 2000s when you're in school full time college that is living in your own apartment not on campus a real one with a landlord and having to work full time it's hard to keep up with a soap. I don't know or remember how it popped up but I saw that Robin came back mid 2000s and I know of Jason Thompson who I love from The Young and the restless so I became interested because I was always a fan of Robin from the stone story line and I start watching clips of her and Patrick on here and I am completely hooked but on the flip side it made me see how the show really went downhill other than that couple basically and I'm glad I didn't try and squeeze in watching the show everyday because I really only watch the clips of them so sad that they have no respect for the history that they made the show one of the greatest at one time is pretty clear since it's only one in four left out of all the soaps that used to be on the air I just miss the way it used to be definitely have no interest in watching the current show though especially since Robin and Patrick are no longer on but thank goodness people are kind enough to upload clips of their story and I do enjoy seeing all clips from the 90s when the show was at its peak
