Any old fogies like me who were fans of General Hospital? [View all]

I stumbled across a General Hospital play list from 43 years ago! (1983) on Youtube. It was like seeing old friends! (believe it or not, I actually still watch GH in its current version.)

These episodes were before cellphones, before the Internet, and I think even before DVRs. I was early in my career working, and I think I might even have missed these episodes because until I got a DVR, I was at work.

What floored me is seeing all these people from 40 years ago:

Steve, Jesse Brewer, Edward, Lila, Monica and Alan Quartermain, Robert Scorpio, Tiffany, Holly, Bobbie, Rose, Ruby, Amy, Stavros Casidine, (no Helena so far, which was last played by Liz Taylor!), and of course Luke and Laura. I'm probably forgetting some, but talk about memory lane.

I don't actually think there will be much interest in this, but just in case, below is a link to a play list which starts in 1983 when Laura returns from (2 years) being held by the Casidines. The reunions were sweet. Everyone is so darn young. Many of the actors are gone now, and some of them have passed, others left and came back to the current show. I have lots of time in my retirement for these kinds of trips down memory lane. I would love to hear if anyone else enjoyed this as I have.
