Lesley tries to work through her grief over losing Laura. To occupy her time - She teaches an Aerobic Dance class at the Sports Center. Richard Simmons helps out.

[@michaelsantangelo571]

RIP Richard Simmons. Not only one of Howard Stern's funniest & best guests, but it was fun to see him play himself on General Hospital growing up. I will miss him dearly ❤

[@R.E.STARS24]

He was the only one who was truly genuine in helping those in need. It was never about money like so many of the others❤

[@c.m.3122]

Rocking that 80s workout outfits😁😁😁😁

[@rickyspanke7215]

Rip Richard Simmons 😢

[@roni042765]

Rest in peace Richard Simmons

[@5291982]

Covid got him too ?

[@TazTalksYouListen]

@@5291982 - As of now, it appears to be a fall that caused the fatality, but wow, people fly to youtube fast to post RIPs everywhere. It's kinda creepy but maybe therapeutic. BTW, I stumbled by this for a different reason and looking thru the comments for some specific information about GH. No longer surprised when I see RIPs hours after a famous person passes.

[@R.E.STARS24]

​@5291982 natural causes but he fell the day before but didn't want to go to the doctors

[@japanphoenix2010]

I so remember him on GH!

[@johntx7368]

Classic GH characters - Lesley, Gail, Monica, Ruby...just wow. Miss them 😞

[@HelloooThere]

[@catherinestgermain3362]

Wow! I haven't seen this show in years! Richard Simmons looks really good back then!!

[@BiGGROBB-]

rip Milton Teagle Simmons aka Richard Simmons ❤

[@ChristopherIGomes]

I love the 70’s early 80’s

[@shoregirl4733]

78-82. The best GH years.

[@evan22303]

Richard Simmons gets all the ladies.

[@karenmossbryan7932]

Good God! At 10 yrs old my new stepmother would make me leotard up and participate in Richard Simmons aerobics classes in Cobb County, Ga. Hated it, now loving it! Like 1978.

[@tyrarenae3486]

I just ordered a few pairs of thigh high leg warmers like the ones Claudia is wearing-in different colors. Style and history sure repeats itself.

[@LeonMoran-v3q]

I watched these with my mom

[@carieevans3787]

Me too! I could skip nap time when no one else could so I could watch it with my mom. & sick days from school. ❤ I woulda been 6.

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

I had forgotten just how catty 80s GH women were 😂

[@sherryroden300]

In 1982 I was 10 but didn't start watching general hospital until 1984 but I did was some earlier episodes with my mom but didn't get into gh until 1984

[@Seamonkey555]

I was 13 and this was must watch TV for me and my siblings, including my brother.

[@wb3381]

I forgot Richard Simmoms was on General Hospital but that was first I heard of him

[@taroman7100]

I loved GH during this time. I hate what it has become.

[@MrJuly1990ish]

He actually did return to GH for a few more cameos in 1981 & 1982, during the time when he had his own aerobics T.V. show back in the '80s.

[@triciasheldon6039]

Lesley "...and he's taken" said right to Monica (although it could have been directed at Richard too). Looks like Monica's acid laced remarks were now directed at Susan.

[@romabriere]

Yup! I hope we see some scenes with Richard & Lucy! They would be a hoot!

[@ThisIsCare]

Check out those workout outfits!!! Lol. Memories for sure :)

[@sabberdab]

Did anyone catch the "outta dimes line" Payphones took dimes then! Seems like I was just in my teens and watching this episode. Now I'm old... and payphones have all but disappeared :\

[@johntx7368]

hilario flores horrible thing to say! We hope he's OK

[@orangehornet57]

Who else thinks he looks better with the jumpsuit than those shorts?

[@seventhfirestephanie8740]

Monica and her breathy voice. 😂

[@dawnlord4893]

Dang.....I remember when the "hospital" looked like that.

[@victoriaindigo]

The Campus Disco was such a better set/backdrop for Richard's classes, but I understand why they couldn't have class there anymore..

[@TheNickel1964]

Ha! Looked what popped up in my feed! :-} Hey Mare!

[@triciasheldon6039]

But I will say Monica was pretty amusing talking about the house and that it even came wiht a husband.

[@reedasmallwood3298]

That was a good 😊 one

[@JamminJ-xe2bd]

All those mature women going on about that wild new fad all the “teeny boppers” are into: “Aerobic Dancing”! Get wild! 😂😂

[@gypsy698]

Tiffany!

[@JavaScriptJolt]

Yes...he is cute (still is) 🔥❤️😍💋

[@daniellemarie334]

wow... Denise really is short! I never really thought anything of it, but that's probably because she's always wearing heels.

[@MsTexas73]

Right. And she was taller than Shell Kepler. Leslie C. is also short.

[@stevarino1989]

This had to be a rerun because Richard left the show in 1980. I read that in his autobiography.

[@daniellemarie334]

Stephen R he came back for occasional guest appearances. this is not a rerun.

[@mangorawhoney1981]

No shit sherlock

[@JaniceTaylor-it3ed]

Rip

[@jparisen]

Richard Simmons is returning to GH for the nurses Ball

[@charlenewilson1024]

yes but he did a few cameos after that

[@ers-tj4to]

How did Rick and Lesley turn crazy?

[@jonlee6114]

Who’s short gal in black dress on left at 9:59? Actor name?

[@mka1967]

GOOD GIRLS DONT AND ANNIE WONT, AND YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN

[@karenmossbryan7932]

But probably 1981.

[@sashek8451]

Eleanor Powell 😆 well deserved namesake

[@LoveABun]

😂😂 Good golly, what a horrible TV show! Richard was way too good for this!

[@Chaplin316]

who is the girl in red

[@daniellemarie334]

Anthony MirandA long blonde hair? Heather Webber

[@Chaplin316]

no in the red sweatsuit and the girl in black tights

[@daniellemarie334]

Anthony MirandA well the girl in red tights is Monica Quartermaine, and the lady in black next to her (while they're dancing) is Gail Baldwin. I hope that answers your question.

[@Chaplin316]

Danielle Urton thank u

[@KarmicOmen]

Susan Moore is in red suit

[@JJ-um5ec]

RIP Richard
