GH was so good when it focused on the Webber, Quartermaine, Spencer, Hardy, and Baldwin families, and the Alan/Monica/Rick/Lesley quadrangle was an electrifying story (as were the Scotty/Laura/Luke triangle, the machinations of Tracy, and the Jeff/Heather/Diana/Anne/PJ storyline).
Remember when Rick and Monica would rendez-vous in some shack on the waterfront, and Alan found them there one day and he planned on blowing up the shack with Rick and Monica in it? When that didn't work out, the roof story began. And remember how they keep showing the same shot of the baby (Alan Jr.) every day? It was great back then!
Oh my gosh! I was beginning to think I imagined alans plan to blow up the waterfront shack !! I could never find that episode or anything about it! Googled it too! 🤷🏻♀️…..thank you for mentioning it!….thought I was losing my mind! LOL
@@dianaschroeder9527 I swear, the plot lines were straight out of the "Bat Man" Script vault; but I loved them on GH. Can you believe that Leslie had to deliver Monica's baby on the night the rood collapsed?!? The writers had such a devious sense of humor!
This brings back great memories of when I was high school and I used to rush back home to see this suspenseful, riveting daytime drama. Thanks for posting this.
They were Brian and Claudia, students that went to school with Laura. Brian was a law student and good friends with Scottie. They all used to exercise together at the campus disco with Richard Simmons as their instructor!
The very day that Heather supposedly killed Diana is the day I started watching GH! I remember Diana's body being on that damn floor for more than a week of shows! Some town celebration was going on too if I recall. I was about 13 or so back then. These clips bring back a lot of memories!
god i remember this so well back then i was 13 years old but back then that was general hospital at it`s best i wish i can get a hold of some kind od dvd `s from 1979 to 1984
These soap opera characters, particularly the principal ones, are a trip! It's amazing how they all seem to survive catastrophic accidents where everyone else in real life would either be dead or a vegetable the rest of their life. And Monica & Alan's relationship must have been pretty strong if it could survive multiple murder attempts!
Ikr. How many times can a person be dropped down a mine shaft, almost dead in the hospital, shot, kidnapped and tortured, etc.? After awhile i just thought, this is just getting too ridiculous.
Alan n Monica had a super passionate relationship!¡!!! When Alan would get jealous he was so damn in love with Monica he had as much passion for Monica as Luke did for Laura. Monica was just as in lust with Alan. If she got Rick she would have had an affair with Alan within a week!¡¡! They had undeniable heat.
Holy cow! I remember this episode! It tooks MONTHS for that jack to let go of that supporting pole holding that roof up! Now when Diana was shot and Heather scrawled Annie's name in her own blood, that was awesome!
What I would love to see since it's been so long, is the rest of this story... or at least them being extricated and taken to the hospital. LOL We always see the roof caving in....or Alan being blown off the docks but never the aftermath. I wish somebody had that still on tape.
Leslie was VERY pretty...and STUBoy was FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!! Yes Alan was quite the jealous type...but DAYUM SEXY so that we all overlooked that "little" isssue... and ins pite of his rage I still wanted him and Monica to get it together and make it work because together they were just FIERCE.
Wasn't it a Parade? I remember the nurses and doctors were marching in it and people were wondering "Where was Diana" who was late...well we know what happened *poor Diana*.
I remember saying this waaay back then (and i still find myself saying the same thing in 2021...LOL) Hey guys if you take a minute to get out of your lust you would hear that the roof is about to collapse...LMAO!!!!
Oh, my gosh! Do you really? I didn't think there were home video recorders around back then! (Except for the ones in school that weighed 1500 pounds, were about as big as a 1050s Mainframe computer, and used tape that was 2" wide and on reels! I adored Mary O'Brien as "Heather." It took a while for me to warm up to her replacement, Robin Matzen (the young actress from "Flipper"). Is it at all possible to upload some of O'Brien's work on your site? I didn't see any. Nice site, BTW!
I thought Brian worked as an intern under Lee Baldwin. Claudia, if I remember correctly, was a candy striper. She and Amy Vining had a lot of filler scenes together at the info desk with Jesse and Dan.
the guy that worked on the roof with his team explained to Alana few Weeks earlier how the roof could fall down and exlained it detailed,but i can't realyremember. but it was really simple..and that guy said that children shouldn't be up there until they've finished their work

Every GH fan should see this. Classic
I remember watching this when it first aired. I was 13 and addicted to GH ever since Laura killed David Hamilton Jan 16, 1978

Tracy's hair was awesome. Sort of an icon of the height of the show... for me anyway LOL
She's wearing a similar style on the show right now!
@heddalee I jm😊
😂🤔🤨🧐💯👍😁😊🙂😉
I had always heard about this storyline, but have never scene it. This is SPECTACULAR. Character driven and suspenseful...
Im glad you are experiencing this now, but back in 1979-80 this was rivetting daytime drama... Say what you want but Gloria Monty was a genius!

What a suspenseful scene. This was the best s/l in the history of GH..Alan was really planning to lower the boom..

I remember watching this as a kid. GH used to be such a great show!
R.i.h.Alan you will never be forgotten 💯💯💯🙌🏿🙏🏿😭😭😭
I started watching GH a year before this season/episode..Still one of the best episodes of all time..
I was only 6 at the time...but I SOOO remember this...and yes..Tracy's hair!
See how long it's been...I need to see more of Brain and Claudia.
Memories...4th or 5th grade! This was the best!
Holy cow! I remember this episode! It tooks MONTHS for that jack to let go of that supporting pole holding that roof up! Now when Diana was shot and Heather scrawled Annie's name in her own blood, that was awesome!
I know if I were Monica and I heard all that noise up there in the attic...there in NO WAY IN HELL I'd have stayed up there in all that time.
You got that right!!!
Now that is how you do a soap opera!
Gloria Monty did a lot of wide shots... great direction!!!
Jeff W and that mustache, so 70's, to funny. Excellent episode.
I will be first to say this RIP Stuart Damon aka Alan Quartermaine you will be missed.
What I would love to see since it's been so long, is the rest of this story... or at least them being extricated and taken to the hospital. LOL We always see the roof caving in....or Alan being blown off the docks but never the aftermath. I wish somebody had that still on tape.
I know one thing...all that creaking...I'da been up outta there.
Leslie was VERY pretty...and STUBoy was FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!
Yes Alan was quite the jealous type...but DAYUM SEXY so that we all overlooked that "little" isssue...
and ins pite of his rage I still wanted him and Monica to get it together and make it work because together they were just FIERCE.
Moni's bun is fugly

Rick was the Jason of back in the day if there was the internet everyone would pick team Lesley or team Monica just like it was team Jasam or Liason.
At that time monica and rick got what they deserve i loved the episode ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Monica was a vicious backstabber.
I missed this one. This is good.
I love tracy, i don't care what nobody saids she has good in her
I think Brian ended up being a social worker; Claudia worked at the spa with Holly in '84. When did they leave the show?
They left in 1986. RIP Todd Davis
Blast from the past Rick Monica Allan did it good episode Prb 7155
😂 that roofs making so much damn noise, Ric isn't that concerning? nah it's fine branches.
GH writers really messed up Rick in the end. He became a villain. At least Alan and Monica became one of the anchor couples for a while.
Thanks for Posting 👍
Wow I. Remember this episode on general hospital
Why the hell are they standing there talking with the room creaking like that? It even sounds like something is about to fall in!
I was in grammar school then, but I recall Alan and Monica's hot mess marriage. I have heard about this scene for years.
Soap operas back then, were hot 🔥 in the 1980's.
do you have the continuation of this episode?
Today's writers of the show could take a lesson from this!!
Oh, my gosh! Do you really? I didn't think there were home video recorders around back then! (Except for the ones in school that weighed 1500 pounds, were about as big as a 1050s Mainframe computer, and used tape that was 2" wide and on reels!

Just noticed, both of the future Mrs Spencer’s are at the party.
Laura and Tracy.
I'd love it if you could post whatever you have!!!!
I thought Brian worked as an intern under Lee Baldwin. Claudia, if I remember correctly, was a candy striper. She and Amy Vining had a lot of filler scenes together at the info desk with Jesse and Dan.
Emmett Glenn Brian worked with Gail at the hospital. Claudia volunteered at Rick’s waterfront clinic.
How did he make the roof fall on them?
the guy that worked on the roof with his team explained to Alana few Weeks earlier how the roof could fall down and exlained it detailed,but i can't realyremember. but it was really simple..and that guy said that children shouldn't be up there until they've finished their work
Loosened one of the supports. Jerremy and Tommy were playing up there too
So True.
Do we know what date this aired?
I thought Brian was a doctor.
Is that Jeff w/ that horrifying mustache?
RDA had a mustache???
I thought Brain was a med student? Did't he end up a doctor?
MsTexas73 He got a Ph. D. in psychology I believe.
