Classic General Hospital

I adored Leslie. When the character of Laura showed up, I was jealous of Genie Francis for getting to play Denise Alexander's daughter.

When they killed Leslie off, I stopped watching. About 12 years later, they teased us that they were bringing her back. I turned it back on. I got completely hooked again, even though they only trot poor Leslie out once every six months for a scene or two.

I think that is when I wasn't watching. The good news is that Tracy Quartermaine is back and better than ever. Still played by the brilliantly perfect Jane Elliott.

nope, marquise, monica does have a distinctive voice.

tracy is great. i still remember when i caught a glimpse of steve bond (he was one of her sons wasn't he - the redneck bastard child or somethin') in playgirl. my MOM's playgirl!

I remember Janine Turner as her sister "Laura Templeton". She was so beautiful.

Robert Scorpio (he was shirtless 1/2 the time)...Blackie Parrish...Jackie Templeton...I didn't care for Emma Samms as Holly Scorpio she was annoying.

oh i loved robert, no doubt about that, sexy aussie that he was.
i do remember "baby come to me" on that show..lol.
i just never cared for emma samms.

and you dared to question whether grandmama cassadine ever died?!?

Wow, I think I was the only one in my highschool that did not watch GH. I liked All My Children, but have been soap free for over 10 years (I think I get another coin for that!)

Steve Bond played Jimmie Lee Holt and was Edward's illegitimate son.

I'll really show my age (though I was a wee tot when my grandmother sat me on the couch while she watched her, at the time, 15 minute "story", when I tell you guys that way back when GH started it consisted of three sets. Steve Hardy's office, the medicine room and the nurses station manned by Audrey's older sister Lucille March (meanie!). You always heard "7 Floor Nurses Station, Nurse So and So speaking. Steve's door was to the left of the nurses station, the medicine room was behind the nurses station and you had to walk through there to get to it and a set of elevator doors to the right of the nurses station. That's it. Once in a while you might actually see an operating room. All the secret rendezous took place in the medicine room. There was a board with room numbers situated near the nurses station, so when the "patient" hit the call button a room number would light up.

BTW, the show was in black & white back then. Horrors!!

thanks bwaygirl. jimmy lee holt, yes, that was him. he married that awful woman, celia?

i remember in later years, the hardy boys came back to town. kevin and ?

---

yeah, i confused the o'connors with the hardy boys...

and tom married the blind model from lionel richie's song, "hello"

---

I oculdn't stand Lucy. Not for one second.

---

I pretty much never liked her. I liked the Nurses Balls in spite of her involvement. I found her so annoying - I always wanted to slap her.

The best Nurses Balls were when Amber Tamblyn and Stuart Damon performed together.
