I’ve been aware of ‘Luke and Laura’ my entire life and i honestly don’t know why.
I was in high school when "Luke and Laura" hit... even us jocks were watching it after school.
In the 1980's, I was employed at Fort Knox repairing MILES/AGES training hardware in an old wooden barracks. There were two of us in the shop and one of us brought in a portable TV. We could only pick up one channel OTA. We tuned into game shows in the morning and soaps in the afternoon.
I only realized how corrupted I had become when one night at a party I spent most of the evening in the living room discussing soaps with the women while the men were downstairs shooting pool.
Damn near lost my man card that night.

'General Hospital' star Genie Francis reacts to Anthony Geary's death: 'He spoiled me'
Genie Francis honors her former 'General Hospital' costar Anthony Geary a day after he died in the Netherlands following an operation three days earlier. 'No star burned brighter than Tony.'
I was working a 2nd shift job at the time, was fairly poor, and so I had only 4 or 5 broadcast channels on my 19 inch black and white TV that was given to me. So once I was up at about noon each day the only thing on were the soap operas. I watched Ryan’s Hope, All My Children, One Life To Live, and General Hospital every weekend afternoon for a couple of years. So, yeah, I was well aware of the Luke and Laura craze.
ABC lineup. That’s the only channel my grandmother got. The Edge of Night was after GH. That was her day.
Simpler times, that’s for sure. And I don’t mean that in a bad way whatsoever.
My mother and grandmother were both avid (read: fanatical) General Hospital fans. In summer, 1983 Rick Springfield performed outdoors in Hopkinsville. Took my girlfriend to the show. Decent performance, as I recall. My mom found out and became crazy envious. Good old days.
I can't think of Rick Springfield w/o this popping into my head.
It's simultaneously terrifying, surreal, and hilarious.
those guys jumping out of their skin when those blasts go off is LOL
