[@carrieolson6871]

It's so good seeing all the old faces of gh. These were the best years ever.

[@Dgraham111]

This is the real GH.. 😊. Today’s GH is no longer the same. 😟

[@kathleenmacellis7253]

Port Charles used to be a place that you wanted to live ! The viewers really felt like a part of everything going on there . It was great back in the old days !

[@chrislibbey5107]

Totally agree the writers today are crap and need to stop recycling storylines

[@jennihooverful]

Agreed! I have not watched in years. I know exactly when I stopped watching. It was when Luke allowed Laura to be with a Cassadine. I forget which one it was, but they lived on an island or some thing. Luke was just allowing it to happen. And OG Luke would NEVER have accepted that!!!!

[@deborahboaze5716]

I agree 😊

[@Nutritionistheanswer]

I haven't watched in years. I loved watching growing up.

[@shadow1674]

Oh wow I don't think I've ever seen this part this is a real GH GH is not the same anymore

[@JJ-um5ec]

40 years later and it’s still good

[@rebeccaself7390]

I love this show I was glad she came back. These were the best shows

[@SterlingFogg]

So many cast members together! They don't do this anymore. I miss the old GH so much!

[@Nutritionistheanswer]

I so agree 👍

[@rebeccaself7390]

I love this show so much! Thank you for sharing these wondering memories

[@SuperCoupleGH63]

I wish they never breakup Luke & laura

[@geneewagner9903]

I started watching this show when I was a young teenager an Luke was starting to run from frank Smith I’ve got to see all these wonderful moments Luke an Laura wedding but I think my most favorite, is the moment that Luke saw her out on the lawn, I had just gotten off work at Kmart and I stayed over in the break room, lol several of us stayed there to watch this particular show that day, an when he saw her we all started to yell an holler for them, lol we were so loud the manager heard us an had to come tell us to be more quiet.

[@tyrarenae3486]

I can imagine all the fun you all had watching that episode- the best episode of Daytime History ever!!

[@TaylorJones8383]

Wow...I never knew Luke was the Mayor of Port Charles wow! I was a baby in 83 I wasn't even three months yet .😃

[@romabriere]

Brian and Claudia Phillips.. They were friends of Laura & Scotty first (Brian was Scotty's college roomy).. then later, friends of Luke & Laura... I believe they arrived on the GH canvas in 78 and were part of the show until 86..

I’ve never seen Bobby happy 2 see Laura!

[@Orv129]

I remember Bobbi trying to send Laura to reform school.

[@myrlinebastien3574]

Indeed...i think Luke is like a father figure to her growing up so she is very possessive of her brother or jealous lol Rip to her 🙏🏽

[@judithjerde1574]

Wow, I was so sorry to hear that Jackie Zeman died. I loved her red hair! Rest in red Bobbie Spencer!

[@rebeccaself7390]

I was in my 20s I think but I love this show.

[@LadyCeceElli]

Good ole days

[@stephaniefaypage8028]

Yes

[@maryhlad5277]

Too bad Joe Kelly wasn’t there. I remember from the wedding that Bryan Phillips, Joe Kelly & Slick were the ushers, Robert was Luke’s best man, Tiffany, Bobbi, & Claudia, we’re bridesmaids, and Amy was maid of honor.

[@robertosso5210]

i remember all the hype and publicity that laura was coming back to GH. everybody was talking about it all over, it was like the second coming of jesus christ.

[@robertosso5210]

this was the best time in the history of general hospital and soap operas

[@dianadowie3985]

Wow! Holly and Laura melted each other.

[@tammyramey]

Fun times!

[@christineadams1284]

The 80's and the darn perm craze. I swear, I can give a perm with my eye's closed with the thousands of perms I have given over 35 yrs. I am so glad the perm is OUT of fashion now, it was not complimentary on everyone. It just happened to work for Luke. ✂️

[@judithjerde1574]

Me 2, left the business 20yrs ago, still actual nightmares about it, Luke needs a loser curl!

[@annematthews9222]

Remember the Apple Pectin perms?

John Stamos!!

[@romabriere]

He went to live with his biological father, Derek Barrington. He left the show some time in 86.. Not sure exactly when becasue I wasn't watching then, but I know it was before Chris Robinson left the show.

[@robertosso5210]

over the years coming after this, it would be either frank smith or the cassadines going after luke and laura

[@kellysisney1383]

Miss the old gh

[@robertosso5210]

i believe this was december 1st 1983

[@donnafackerell8316]

As mean as his character was the actor who played him was very handsome

[@robertosso5210]

whatever happened to Hutch, the hitman who frank smith sent to go after luke and laura, i forgot?

[@sdstewart1962]

Long story short, after almost being killed by Frank Smith, he escaped while a patient at GH, fell in love with Rose Kelly, then ran away and has been a fugitive ever since

[@redswan1]

Can’t remember the Holly/Laura backstory. If anyone can elaborate?

[@phillygrl69]

I'm just catching up (after....HOW many years?!? 🤭) But, I 'think' Luke & Holly were together, after Laura's disappearance. I'm not too sure tho how long they were involved but that's what I was able to put together. I was 13/14 when this aired. My grandmom, mom & cousins were SOOOOOO into G.H. back then. I just watched because they watched & it was all they ever talked about 😊like everyone else 😊😅! In my later teens, 18 really; I was turned on to 'THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' which, if I may say, was GOOD back in the day as well. Yet, I will admit.....'GENERAL HOSPITAL' was better. Least back then in the 80s. I actually stopped watching 'Y&R' about 10 years ago. It just got so repetitive. Boring. I was only watching outta habit. Watching these old clips brings back very fond memories of my early adolescence. Probably one of the very few fond memories I have during that time of my life.

[@judithjerde1574]

I can Sum it up in a hurry. Holly was a skank- Luke was a horny controlling idiot that time frame. Absolutely no chemistry between the two actors. No spark in their eyes. Laura - Luke's one and only. I ‘m not really a Soap fan but I have never in history seen two actors who could consistently make it appear their characters were in love. It’s all in the eyes!

[@nicolebelton1526]

On gh 1983 miss Claudia and brain

[@rebeccaself7390]

Yes. In my 20s

[@Dgraham111]

I liked Amy.. But I have always wondered how she was written out. Sadly I missed a few years..was it ever said.?

[@dooge83]

I think they wrote her out. Her scenes became fewer and fewer. Unfortunately, the actress who played her, Shell Kepler, died of kidney failure.

Whatever became of that kid that was Laura's adopted little brother? I remember him because he went on to be in a few movies I think but I can't remember what happened with his character?

Rick remarries after lesleys presumed death, he marries a woman named Ginny Blake, it's reveled she's mike's biological mother, Ric adopts Mike and has a son Ric Jr with her, Mikes father turns out to be wealthy Derek Barrington who tries to get custody of Mike but after a lot of back and forth He's last seen leaving town with Ric Ginny and Rick Jr.
