General Hospital 1985 - oh the memories and my dear Robert Scorpio!

Tweet

I have not enjoyed watching General Hospital in so long - but boy it was fun to night! Actually I watched the recent episode of Night Shift. I was mad at the prospect that they would kill Robert Scorpio off so horribly - he was the hub of the show back in the the mid 80's and boy was he a cutie!!! Him, Luke and Sean Donnelly - that threesome were the best undercover, capper finding, problem solving and villan fighters ever!! Sure wish they'd put some of that excitment back in Port Charles! You guys that just started watching the show - you ain't seen nothing! GH used to be so eventful, exciting, adverturous, enthralling show ever! But on Night SHift, they have RObert with colan cancer and complications and I just think that was horrible to have such a dynamic character deteriorate to nothing. Not that it doesn't realy happen, but this is soap land - our heros ALWAYS go out with a bang!! Well, Robert went into a coma and relived some of his past and they edited it with clips of the actual airings back in 1985. When he first came home and saw a little girl in his house, only to find out she was his little girl, Robin. His old friends Sean Donnelly and TIffany Hill Donnelly came back and Sean was a cutie then just as he is now! Tiffany was the hoot of the show back then! Robert is supposedly dead - and he doesnt' think he is and the friends all try to talk him back to life. And then Luke comes in and finally sums it up for Robert that after all they've been through and done, they deserve to die with a bang, in a blaze of bullets or dark alley amongst a fight with a world control freak person (Fiason, the bad guy they chased back then!) , not calmly and quietly in a hospital bed! I think the Luke character is such a joke these days, it was nice to see the "old Luke" back again! I was cheering him on! And I NEVER do that for him! But what he said just summed up the years those 2 had together. Yes, Robert came back to the living. They had his old house - the steps and all but what they didn't show was that secret agent/spy operations room he had hidden behind the wall where that gold wall hanging thing was! Remember that! The WSB control room!!! And they showed the actual clips of several of the scenes as they aired in 1985 or so and just to take the little jaunt back in time - was so much fun! If you can find it anywhere on TV or the internet - watch it, if you remember those times, you will love it! It is the first of a two part final episode to the season of Night Shift. Next tuesday is the final episode. I get SoapNet so I watch it on Sat if there is nothing else on. I don't care at all for the show, but once Robert came to town, I try to catch it on Saturdays. A wonderful trip down memory lane to a time in the soap world when it was fun, exciting, adventurous, location shots and a ton of wild happenings that could only happen in Soap WOrld!!! Wish those days would return!!!
