Rick Springfield sure was easy in the eyes . Handsome man . I was lucky enough to see him sing at our fairgrounds in 1981
I met him backstage in Ft Lauderdale in 85.
He was yummy!!
I met him in Princeton in 2013.
He got trapped in an elevator at the hotel he was staying in my hometown, the night of his performance! It was a huge deal!! That was a great concert, too. 1984!
😂 I was in the crowd in one of his videos, lol. KIIS-FM in L.A. announced to show up at the Sports Arena, so us 18 yo silly girls did 🎉. We ended up in many videos like that.
Oh I Love this! This was when General Hospital was at its best! A great time years ago and all the best characters! I was in college in 81 and every day at 3 pm everyone would gather to watch. Jessie! Luke and Laura,Bobby. And HOT Noah Drake! Just the best. WOW! Miss those days.
The 80s were GREAT!!!!
Absolutely the best !!!!
The best!!! I was in h.s. I ran home jyst to watch the last 10 min fr. school
@@lisamontalto1018 Wow! The last 10 minutes 🤭
I was in my early teens back then
So sad to see how many of these wonderful actors have passed away.....thank you for these iconic scenes from the glory days of GH.
Back then, Rick Springfield was so handsome. He also had a hit song called, Jessie's girl. Ms. Harper Stacey.
This reminds me of my late mother. I graduated from high school in 1981. I used to get home from school about 3:20 and my mom would have GH on. No way she would let me turn the channel. After a while I would just sit and watch with mom. After a time I got interested in the story. I knew it wasn’t cool for a guy in those days to watch a soap but it was so darn good it just grabbed your attention. After I graduated school I stopped watching but will cherish the memories of watching GH with my mom for a few years after school.
Oh, my teenage brother watched it after school. He got hooked and then explained it all to me. Then he died unexpectedly. So today on television, here’s Robert Scorpio, who my late brother explained to me 40 years ago.
that was soooo sweet, sounds like you are very close to your Mother. theres nothing wrong with a dude watching soaps. My Dad started watching them when he retired lol!!
@@cheriewhitney5013 Thanks so much. My mom loved her GH until she passed in 2015. The few years we watched together reminds me of happy days when she was young and healthy. She was in her late thirties at that time.
thats great !! i was in a foster home ,and i wasn't allowed to watch soaps! but my grandmother loved! this one and all the CBS ones!
Yeah that's how I got interested in it too , with my mom ❤
I love this era with Laura, Bobby, Monica, and Dr Noah Drake.
me too ! was in high school at the time ,
It was fun, interesting storylines and phenomenal acting.
me too ,just great fun
The one that plays Laura Genie Francis looks absolutely stunning in this as well as her wardrobe her hair is so beautiful.
Omg Noah Drake! I was so crushing on him back in the day.😝
The tactic of bringing in all these well known heartthrobs to appeal to a new generation of soap opera watchers worked like magic.
Teens in the 80's tuned in to GH to see Rick Springfield and drooled.
I was 12 at this time and watching with my grandma. I miss those days and miss her.
I watched this with my grandma in the early 70s when I was itty bitty. Started watching it again as a young mom in the 80s for several years until life got too busy for me to watch tv at 1p during the day 😊
I was 13! And I miss my grandmother too. We would watch all the time together. We are six generations of General Hospital fans.
i loved Dr Noah Drake the character is what got me and my mom into the show years ago i still watch the show loyally
Rick springfield was so good looking. A few years ago he was playing our local summer fair and charging $375 for a five minute meet and greet. His best looking days were on this show in the 80s.
This is when I watched General Hospital! I was only 20 years old in 1981. This is so great that I can go back in time.
Luke looked really good with curly hair. Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 Yes he did
Monty did justice for that storyline when Laura killed David Hamilton. Then Leslie took the rap for Laura. GH in its hey day! Genie showed her acting ability to the hilt.
I grew up watching this too, EVERYONE watched this back then. Seeing it now I can't believe how quiet it is for a hospital, I work in one and it's non stop phone ringing off the hook with 100 people walking in every direction lol
Hospitals used to be very quiet, almost like libraries. Even ER's unless some big disaster took place . Patients were not to be disturbed. My family worked in hospitals for years.
That side glance Robert's so well-known for...Tristan Rogers still does it to this day and I love it!
I spent about 6 months in thr hospital as a kid and I got hooked on to this show. Luke and Laura...
Luke and Laura overshadowed the rest of the characters on the show. Ms. Harper Stacey.
GH was at its best when it focused on characters like Laura and Luke, Bobbie, Heather, Scotty, Lesley, Rick, Alan, and Monica, Robert, Edward and Lila; with Steve, Jessie, Audrey, Lee, Gail, Ruby, and Dan as the tentpole characters who were seen regularly (even if they were not always at the forefront of the story). Each character was an individual with their own strengths and weaknesses. Introductions to new characters such as Noah took place gradually and naturally. The dynamics of the GH workplace family were one of the show's greatest strengths for many years. It's a shame that the better part of the last 20 years focused on too many mob-related stories.
I absolutely loved Jeff Webber and his storylines too. Those were the good old days..
@@greggriffin6291 I did the same thing....it was supposed to be a Hospital story..
They don't know how to do that now. I predict the show will be gone in 1-3 yrs.
Well don't forget, that Luke worked for the mob originally.. And it was that background that brought him and Sonny together and they became friends. Now while, Sonny is a mob boss. The show doesn't have so much mob stuff until someone like Cyrus shows up. Then the show goes that way to stop people from getting bored.
@@HelloooThere Don't be so sure! It's the longest running soap on TV. And it out lasted all the others on ABC.
Wow such great memories back when soap operas were great and made sense I miss all of these old soaps general hospital was one of the greatest soaps ever and now we lost Jackie zeman may she and all of the ones who are now gone rest in peace gone but never forgotten
I loved it when rick springfield was on general hospital aka Dr Noah Drake in the 80s! HE looks so good looking and very handsome man! I would love ❤️ if the character Dr Noah Drake would be able to my doctor ANY DAY AND ANY TIME! LOVE ❤️ RICK SPRINGFIELD!
I still remember when he joined! That was GH’s heyday…absolutely loved watching him and the show. I had posters of him up on my wall. It was so exciting.
This was the peak of GH 1979 to 1981
Yep 79-81 *Gold*
Hot rollers were the bomb for hair back then!
Oh, it’s so nice watching this again I remember when Robert Scorpio first came on the show when he was hiding behind the plant at ELQ
Holly and Robert were my favorite couple!!
Dr. Noah Drake " Wish He Had Jesee's Girl." The early "80's GH. Was Classic.
Wow I’ve been watching since the beginning! Best soap opera ever ❤🎉
Love this... swoon Dr Noah!
Definitely the good old days at GH...wish they had a channel where we could watch the repeats...Im sure like when anything ends, $... It use to have knots landing Y&R repeats & other soap type shows.
They use to have the Soap Network. Where they would do that. Knotts Landing, and Dallas also. But. I don't know if that's still around. I don't have cable tv.
@@ontheroadhome4796 We need another "SoapNet" type channel. There are so many treasures, especially watching w/ Mom & my aunt.
what happen why did they pull it
@@ontheroadhome4796 No its not, it was canceled in 2013.
@@quincycooper79 I did say, That they "USE" TO HAVE THE SOAP NETWORK.
Miss these days! I was 13 in 1981….good times for sure ❤️
Oh my God I was just in grammar School... We got out at 2 we would literally run home to watch GH... I'M PUSHING 60... STILL WATCHING!! 🤣💯❤️
I watch general hospital when it first came on in1963 it was on for 30 min I still watch it in 2023 I love general hospital I wish one day I could c it in person and meet them all I love u all thank you
So sad to see Jackie just left us. I adored Bobby.
I used to watch this with my grandmother when I was a little kid. These were the days, Omg. The drama, the music! God I loved the Quartermaines.
I miss this entire cast!! I use to watch this show every day,my mom would let you say a word when her stories was on lol✨⭐🌟❤️❤️
Other than Luke and Luara the actors in this scene were the greatest on GH. I miss them so much. RIP Jackie Zeman/Bobby Spencer
I’m still loving this!
To think I became an RN at this same time. But while I was working my tail off…these nurses found some hot doctors to have affairs with! Wow! While I was emptying bedpans and starting IVs these guys were finding time to have affairs! 40 years of being a nurse and I can not in anyway say that I ever saw a doctor who looked like these men…..❤️
Well you should have transferred to Port Charles, then. 😉😂
I was studying nursing as well, amazing to see nurses wearing caps back then...
OMG! I remember watching this episode in 1981! I loved GH! Boy was he dreamy! Great soap opera. Watched it every afternoon at 3 pm! 🩷🩷
I would love to see the whole Ice Princess storyline from start to finish. It's what got me hooked on the show all those years ago!
The SusseQ channel has their entire story from 1979 to past 2000 sometime.
That's funny cause that's why I stopped watching, the ice princess was so unbelievably dumb,
@@darrylsiler6978 The vast majority of soap opera storylines are unbelievably dumb. LOL! 😀
@@sandyjuntunen4088thank u! I will go check
❤ ❤ ❤ this was back when soap opera's were good! ❤ ❤ ❤ the cast was just incredible. I used to watch 3 with my grandma. General Hospital, Days of our Lives and One life to live. Great memories!
These are the days when GH ran over 50 minutes of air time. Now we get 36 minutes out of 60.
That is cause people do not know how to do real acting and their script writing is not near well written.
43 minutes actually
The lead up & wedding of Luke & Laura would be a treasure to see a mini series
And ship loads of long idiotic commercials. Thank god for the mute button. I purposely do not buy the carp they peddle. Those commercials insult everybody s
Intelligence. It’s bad enuf, I got hooked on the show. The writers keep us entertained whether it ticks people off or entertains.
It’s great to see people in their almost natural state; before all the plastic surgery. Ya can’t beat time.
Wow I miss these days and memories
On today General Hospital (11/2022) Laura and Robert were having coffee. It’s wild to see them 41 years ago doing the same thing! They looked almost the same except a little grayer. Kelly’s looks virtually the same. Kelly’s used to serve beer?!?😮
I was 12 years old and in love with Rick Springfield at the time. I only started watching GH when I found out Rick Springfield was on the show.
Me too! Lol
John Stamos was also on general hospital, too. Ms. Harper Stacey.
This incredible show aught to be remastered.
Supposedly they taped over past shows. Really dumb move, it would have paid off in millions.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Fun fact. ☺
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Absolutely tragic. Reruns of this Soap would have been like striking gold.
The show definitely had a fun energy in this era that's completely gone now. I love this era of GH, but I kind of hate what it did to soaps overall. Everyone else in the '80stried emulate the GH formula, and while it worked for GH, it didn't work for the others. Y&R wisely stayed true to its vision and was rewarded with decades at the No. 1 spot.
I mean they tried it too on Y&R with Victor and his dungeon, remember? But they gave up when they realized it’s not working..
@@GLBizzie Y & R was in a class of its own at that time
Loved Robert! He was so charismatic.
This sure is Classic!!!! 😄😄😄
Definitely!! I can see why Rick Springfield became a teen idol even though he was in his early 30's. He was gorgeous back then!!😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
@@janeporter818 He was even cuter when he was fresh from Australia and a had a modest US Top 40 hit, "Speak to the Sky" back in 1972. His long shag hairdo was "a thing".
Love the old phones.
GH in it's heyday, Rick Spingfield about to become a major rocker, as they say those were the days, sadly gone but fondly remembered, RIP Jackie Zeman.
My dad once met the actress who played Emma Lutz and got an autograph for tweenage me. I was actually confused because I knew who Emma Samms was but Emma Lutz was a little before my time. Thanks to TH-cam I now know who Emma Lutz is.
Who is Emma Lutz?
I miss the background music. It was so much better then playing songs like they do now.
42 yrs ago,dang I'm old,lol ...GH and AMC were the shows for me.
Remember we would all run home from high school and check-out Luke and Laura it was a big deal and you know what it's still is I can remember this like yesterday we love you Luke and Laura❤❤❤❤❤ 😘
Miss these days i was six years old at that time wonderful and pleasure memories.
The Day Rick Springfield makes his debut in General Hospital.
Bobby Spencer had it going on...Va-va-voom!
I agree. She is beautiful!
Oh, she was totally smoking. They should've named her California Wildfires.
Hell yeah, AND she had the best bustline in Hollywood.
She was a natural beauty!! Vavava VOOM..IS RIGHT!! ❤😂
She sure did. A lot of great junior high school fantasies right there. LOL. Thank you, Bobby Spencer, wherever you are.
I was 8 years old when I discovered Rick Springfield and started watching/obsessing over GH during this era.
Looks so familiar like I watched it a few months ago yet it was 42 years ago
Right!
Wow I remember watching this episode and from here on I started watching GH. What beautiful memories came to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great channel. Love the classics!!!
What a great character Slick Jones was. They don't make 'em like that any more.
Thanks for sharing this takes me back. I graduated from high school in 1981. And would rush home to watch GH
Wow! Monica looks alot different! So young and her hair looks different.
I think Monica looks Beautiful and different hard to believe she been on so many years and been watching since Noah been on. I was 10 years old when I started watching it
She was a babe
Before the numerous facelifts. She was always very pretty, from her days playing the role of Iris on "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing". Really good actress too!
*A lot. Two words, not one.
@@tanyairwin3695 Does it really matter? This was posted 3 YEARS AGO. That's A LOT of time in between then and now. Thanks for pointing it out though. I hope that makes you feel better.
Makes me miss the 80s! Everyone watched GH after school!
I remember this so well.
Wow, great memories. My grandmother's favorite.
I loved Robert, Joe and Noah.
Obviously, I love Genie Frances and Tony Geary too. I so miss the old cast and love the new cast as well.
Wow I think Bobbie Monica and Laura are very beautiful back then
Lovely no cell phones a much better time
It truly was!
OH YES!!!! YOU SAID IT!!!! LOL! 😆. Della R.
When Acting was a Gift
Best addition to GH, Rick Springfield! John Stamos wasn't bad either lol.
Demi Moore was also on general hospital. Ms. Harper Stacey.
I STILL LOVE THIS HANDSOME MAN ❤
Nostalgic, when I wished that I was Rickee's girl.
LOVED GH BACK IN THE DAY!
No one in my hospital looks as good as these people.
Takes me back to make youth!
That part where Miss Leslie Charleson as "Dr. Monica Quartermaine" gulps and then catches Her lovely breath ever so quickly when meeting "Dr. Noah Drake" is pure Acting Genius!😂 Terrific to see two true late Greats in John Beradino and Miss Emily McLaughlin as part of the Ushering Ceremony as well.🤔👨⚕️👨⚕️👩⚕️👩⚕️📺B.W.
I started watching GH in 1978! It's great to see Dan Rooney, Jesse, Steve Hardy, OG Edward Quartermaine, and Luke Spencer again!
In 1981, Hanky Panky was acceptable in the work place and not considered sexual harrassment.
Very true and that term did not even exist
Uneducated American men and their issues with women. My mom was a nurse. It always existed and it always sucked. Take your issues with women elsewhere than a General Hospital video. A good psychiatrist might help.
It’s a freaking soap opera. Do you even have the mental capacity to understand that the entire point of a soap opera was to create sexual tension on television for an audience of viewers?
There is a huge difference between “hanky panky” and sexual harassment, with harassment being the key word!
Happy birthday Rick Springfield!!
Oh how I loved the Bobbie/Noah s/l back in the day! It's what got me hooked on GH, and then I stayed because of Holly and Robert, Frisco and Felicia, Sonny and Brenda, and Robin. Things are different these days, but I can't wait to see how they wrap up the Cassadines, mob, Ryan, WSB stories if the soap comes to an end in the next few years.
Gloria Monty was gifted at setting up the future. As Luke and Laura were leaving the program, she had already positioned Robert and Holly as the show’s next super couple. And when John Stamos (Blackie) was getting ready to leave, she already had Jack Wagner as Frisco waiting in the wings (he had already been on the show for a number of months as Blackie’s bandmate).
If the soap shuts down at anytime; I suggest they show ALL the reruns for the next 60 years. 2 a day please. I doubt I will live another 20 years, let alone 60+.
I loved Holly and Robert! They were my favorite couple!
Ass promised; thanks for all you do :)
Aww the original Edward Q🙂
I always thought that he had a lion-like face!
I love rewatching these classic clips & episodes. Just yesterday I saw the 1st ever GH episode run. ❤I just lost my Nurses Ball t-shirt was sick when I realized it.
Thank for this blast from the past!! Rick Springfield is still so handsome!! This Edward is not my favorite but Alan his son is looking good. When I was a young girl he was the Prince in a televised "Cinderella", now I see why.
Bobbie was so gorgeous along with Laura beautiful young ladies. Luke wasn't as handsome as other characters, but he was a great actor and there was chemistry between him and Laura!!
Luke had charisma.
When you could tell a nurse from a doctor or a maintenance person.
This was a treasure.
General Hospital wa the the love connection of the 80's.
Bobbie is so beautiful!
I always thought Bobbie had the most beautiful eyes.
Awww Bobbie! RIP Jackie Zeman! ❤️
Rick Springsfield as Dr. Noah now I remember
This reminds me of hanging out with my grandma, watching her "stories" with her❤ such good memories!!
Rick Springfield was a MAJOR crush object. Loved him so much. “Jessie’s Girl” takes me back to high school every time it comes on the radio.
Rick was so cute!
I was in the 5th grade and hated soaps with a passion and it was right around this time I would start tuning in with my sister not even realizing it. 🤦🏼♀️
Gail is gossiping about Laura. She's a psychologist as I recall you'd think she would not judge people.
RIGHT!?
Baldwins were always so judgmental
Let’s not forget it’s a tv show…..
a soap opera. Anything goes.
Charlie Lutz looks like Andy “Latka” Kauffman! Thank you very much!
Mmmmm..... Tristan Rogers......mmmm. saw him on tv some time ago before the crappy writing drove me away from y/r and the B n B. Mmm so good to see this cast again. Tristan Roger's n John Stamos were a couple of the best part of daytime tv drama. Thanks for the memories!
30:10 This is the moment that Noah should have RUN!
The women definitely looked like ladies back then.
