GH - Luke and Laura - 1981 playlist p. 56

[@aggiesbaby]

I'm a little envious of you folks for remembering what else was happening on GH while this aired! The 80's really were General Hospital's golden years huh?

[@suemcgee612]

aggiesbaby the absolute Golden Years! IMHO, it was never better!

[@kathylanda681]

Yes they most definitely where. You bet ya... It was sooo much fun... thank you. Love. Rosie.

[@christineadams1284]

Kathy Landa Yes, General Hospital was So Much Fun to watch. We are still watching 40 years later. 💞

[@GLBizzie]

I think people are too harsh On GH’s 69’s and 70’s.. It was popular even then.

[@newbeginning2037]

Oh my word, I remember this episode. I was a senior in high school and watched it after I returned home from school. It aired at 3:00PM EST. Thanks for the awesome memories.

[@sussezq]

No problem! To good to forget!

[@mygirlpiper]

Lauren Cat Yep - I also distinctly remember this GH episode ! - ' 80's as a whole was a fantastic decade !!

I wish we were back in the 80's now!!

Lol at the way Laura pulls away from Luke

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Luke’s coat & sunglasses , classic 👍

[@labannaosullivan4601]

He knew how to dress with that lean sexy body of his

[@KDL861]

Love the bomber jacket, Luke!

[@lisanealy1703]

Laura looks so funny when she gets away from Luke😄 She's under his arm and then makes a cute face and shimmies away!!

[@MsJacob890]

I love how involved everyone was with the town activities regardless of what was going on. Now when the whole town gets together, we know something bad is going to happen

[@pam0626]

Two observations: Gail was such a classical beauty and Robert smelling Laura’s hair is adorable.

[@2006bbbb1]

I's love to know what she uses on her hair, maybe it was "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" It was very popular at the time and would explain all the sniffing going on in Laura's hair. lol

[@christineadams1284]

grumpy oldbob56 I Loved the way that shampoo smelled, my friends & I used it. Men did sniff our hair back then. 💞

[@christineadams1284]

pam0626 I always liked Gail, Susan was a Classic Beauty.

[@lisacarman167]

I once saw an interview where TR and TG were actually talking about how good GF's hair smelled, lol. They also said she wore absolutely no perfume, but her skin always smelled so good and was so soft. They said it was the extra pay bonus of getting to co-star with Genie.

[@pam0626]

@@lisacarman167 That’s a good memory. 😀

[@suemcgee612]

"Is everybody happy?" ❤️

[@izzatluv]

boy, do i remember luke's coat

[@livingbyfaithval]

I get a giggle at watching Robert getting a charge out of pushing Luke's buttons by flirting with Laura. This was the beginning of that wonderful give and take by Robert and Luke.

[@lynnmoore7029]

And Luke sure was pissed at Laura talking to Wheeler

[@vandouglasjr1613]

All Robert did was follow Luke everywhere Luke wasn't worried about Robert if he was he wouldn't have wanted Laura to hang out with Robert he needed her to keep Robert from following him

[@sugartits1876]

I like how these men are gentle men buying Laura and Alexs🍿 and hot dogs 🌭

[@christineadams1284]

[@gerardfonz]

Well may I be the first to say Happy 240th birthday Port Charles. lol.

[@monastratton7311]

Laura looked so pretty there

I’m been teleported to 1981 in Port Charles 🚀

[@barbarashapiro9225]

Me too...2nd time around! I can't and won't watch current GH

[@KIZERVONZINGER]

Boy I remember this like it was yesterday! :( Now I Feel Old!!

[@sarahchauvin3189]

Alex's hot dog magically disappears when she goes to talk to Duvall--she only has her purse--but it magically reappears again when she goes back over with the group 🤣

[@seventiesgirl6449]

The glory days of soaps.

[@magkatcar]

Genie really could hold her own, acting wise with Tony. Considering he was much older than her.

[@labannaosullivan4601]

Yea, but the age difference didn’t show that much, Luke always looked younger than his years. It’s that Gemini

[@michaelanderson9792]

Luke almost said it Laura that's why I ❤️ you

[@terricoleman5495]

So I just found out that when Genie Francis was on Y & R she played Genevive who was married to Colin, aka Tristan Rogers! I did not know this.

[@sussezq]

Yep. Great whole it lasted!

[@2006bbbb1]

They actually played ex's, so they didn't get hot and heavy, usually sniping at each other.

[@terricoleman5495]

@@2006bbbb1 I did watch a bit on KZbin after finding out. They had chemistry there as well.

[@kathylanda681]

Yes he CERTAINLY knew where Luke's achilles heel lied!!

[@kathylanda681]

Yes Laura was. Rosie

[@sslade100]

I can still remember when nurses wore white dresses, caps, and capes. Would any Soap budget still allow for an expenditure like this?

[@wrjsell]

There's Luke's "Is everybody happy " comment again.

[@sussezq]

I really don't remember much from the first time around... but I did watch all of this a few months ago!

[@colleenr7268]

If I got to watch any of it, it would have been a few minutes each day when we got home. It was on from 3 to 4, and school ended at 3:40 pm. Even then, only if my mom wasn't watching something else or didnt kick us out lol

[@MrJuly1990ish]

@sussezq I remember the PC parade when it first aired (February 14, 1981 to be exact). I recalled ABC daytime running the promo that week about the Diana Taylor murder showing Jeff Webber running through the Parade looking for a mysterious man that had information on Stevenlars. I think Heather had set that up, right before she escape from Forrest Hills posing as a nurse to get to Diana Taylor's apartment that night. Damn! GH was so good back in the day! Lol!! Thanks for the memories!

[@suemcgee612]

MrJuly1990ish was the mysterious man Cal Jamison? I think that was his name?

[@2006bbbb1]

That murder resolution was very clever. Won't spoil it for anyone who doesn't know.

[@GLBizzie]

Nope. It didn’t aired on February 14th tbh. It aired Around the February 23rd week until The 27th

[@Kimromero1219]

I'm here for Luke, but Robert Scorpio was FINE!

[@merediththomas8429]

Gail always has that look of disapproval.

[@abunchahooey]

The lady holding the left side of the 200th birthday banner seemed to have borrowed Lucy’s wig. 😂

[@nancybranch9994]

Geez, the "is everybody happy?" line makes me want to slap Luke up side the head! He really is aggravating and seducing all in the same frame!

[@lynnmoore7029]

Oh wow I actually like it when he says that. I say it sometimes.

[@gerardfonz]

@@lynnmoore7029 His electric personality makes him say things. My favorite was on the Smith Yacht when out of nowhere he yelled "isn't it an outrage!".

[@labannaosullivan4601]

I could actually see TG saying something like that too, he definitely has that quirky sense of humor, as shown in interviews

[@vandouglasjr1613]

Laura got Luke on this scene got him good

[@suemcgee612]

Kurt Wheeler was such a creepy character lol.

[@2006bbbb1]

Well he serves a very important purpose, which we see later on.

[@wlsweat1]

That's ONE BIG BIG BIG Band. They marched by at least 4 times.

[@sussezq]

@MrsLukesotherlaura There were LOTS of good stories then... all happening simultaneously!!! Go figure.. the whole canvas didn't have to revolve around a character or two!!!

[@suemcgee612]

sussezq Back when it was GREAT!!

[@sussezq]

@jhall921 Not when it comes to her... nope never has.. never will. Nothing better than a jealous Luke and Laura in the power seat!

[@vandouglasjr1613]

Dam she knew how to mess with Luke

[@csulastd89]

I love Robert Scorpio sniffing Laura's hair too cute. I also love a jealous Luke but really he had nothing to be jealous of because that guy was not cute.

[@lisacarman167]

It is real sad that talk show TV took the viewers away from GH and the other soaps. Sometimes I feel like if they had kept their budgets up and kept all their actors and actresses from this period happy and on the show, they would have ruled the 90's too. Now in 2023 we only have 3 soaps on TV and 1 on the internet.

[@MrJuly1990ish]

@MrsLukesotherlaura Heather didn't kill Diana Taylor, her mother Alice Grant did.

[@Regi-ri2el]

Alice Grant did always creep me out.

@@susanmartin313 It was.

[@karenoneal4660]

I saw the scene in which Alice Grant (Lieux Dressler) confesses to the killing of Diana Taylor. It was an accident. The supporting characters on GH were as outstanding as the main characters. Lieu Dressler was excellent in that emotional scene! Gloria Monty was a master at recognizing talent.

[@StephanieStClaire]

At the hotdog stand: Why on earth would Kurt Wheeler stumble to know Laura's name ("It's Laura, right?") when he called her that morning to ask her to the parade? 😂

[@martahuling2029]

I wish they would of played up Robert romance with Laura!! It would of been a wonderful match.

@jhall921 Not when it came to her.. that's for sure!!!

[@sonyab1974]

Luke: You are the most aggrivating woman I have ever met. And that's why. Laura: That's why what? Luke: That's why I bought you a hot dog. Me: No that's why you love her Luke. :) OH! JEALOUS LUKE HA! :)

[@judithjerde1574]

Don’t believe a Hotdog was quite what Laura was starving for! Nope ...

[@sonyab1974]

What did Robert say in the beginning that makes Laura say now you tell me? Banner: Happy 200th birthday Port Charles! :) To bad they don't have a parade anymore. :(

[@clair4076]

Kurt Wheeler's speech pattern is very similar to Casey the alien lol

I dont remember Diana Taylor getting murdered! Who did it? Does it tie into the Ice Princess storyline? I remember Susan Moore getting murdered and it was a major storyline.

I don't think Heather killed Dianna.

[@2006bbbb1]

@@janetmyles8764 She didn't. TPTB led the audience to believe she did, but this was one time where she was innocent, at least of the murder part. ;-)

[@sussezq]

I know... funny line!

[@sirrom5155]

I know it's an unrelated story, but does anyone know what happened to Diana Taylor. I liked her.

The entire thing is on here, under whoever put up "I love the 80's"... Just search for the year and full episodes
