Thank you. I knew Jeff Conaway's sister was once on GH, but nothing about the character she played.

May I ask which book or magazine it is from ? I don’t remember having seen so much about these characters.

[amybrickwallace]

It looks like one of Robert LaGuardia's Wonderful World of Soaps books.

@vetsoapfanHad post this awhile back. Again your post explaining all the comings and goings. Was very educational. Pre-Marland/Monty GH history is so overlooked. 

[vetsoapfan]

To  be fair to historians, the few years before Marland and Monty came aboard GH were...ahem...not worth much attention. The show was a mess in the mid 1970s.

To illustrate what we were saying and inside the DNS thread about 1977, once the Ellmans took over from the Pollocks, they did their cleaning too. They immediately ended the Mark/Terri/Mellie triangle and Bobbi Jordan was fired. Here an article from September 1977 in the DNS.

Didn't the Elmans do the hurricane which then promptly killed Peter and Diana's child?

[Paul Raven]

Stay tuned...

Bobbi got another chance foe primetime success with the comedy Turnabout starring Sharon Gless but it was shortlived. Scheduled against Dukes of Hazzard and part of Fred Silverman's chaotic scheduling era.

She did a few episodes of Days in 1993.

Come to think of it, they could have brought Terri back when they brought Mark Dante back

Ok so 216 pages were too much for me to have the courage to read but does anyone have classic episodes avaliable to watch???? I wanted to see something from the 1960's to the early 1980's especially if it got Audrey Hardy actually having a Storyline it's a pity GH doesn't use much of it's older actors or characters nowadays not even Helena is with us Anymore

You can find a number of late '70s and early '80s episodes on Youtube. After that it is much more spotty. Many times Youtube episodes have been wiped by copyright complaints. There are a few '60s and '70s episodes on Youtube as well.

Terri Webber was a warm, very likeable character, played by an attractive, talented and very likeable actress. GH really lucked out with all the actors in the original Webber-family group. IMHO, it was a major mistake axing Terri from the show. She was exactly the sort of heroine Port Charles needed. Unfortunately, after she was gone, TPTB tried to pair Mark Dante with a new character named Kathryn Corbin (actress Maggie Sullivan). Both the character and the actress came across as cold, not appealing at all. I always wanted Terri to return, but I don't think anyone on the show ever mentioned her again.

There's a playlist titled General Hospital Full Episodes 1963-89 by a youtuber named VAwriter. I tried to link directly to the full playlist, but only the first episode (of 62) comes up. Check it out.

Thanks to both of you I'll try

She was married to Lamont wasn't she and Mark and her had an affair, Lamont later died and she married Mark only to be killed offscreen when Mark returned.

Lamont was some sort of businessman involved in a scam with David Hamilton and Dan worked for him before joining the staff at GH, Am I correct?

 

I've seen some of the videos of Jeff's paternity reveal post Lassa Fever and Terri did get mentioned a lot during that time. I think either Rick or Jeff went to visit her in Hawaii but after that she doesn't seem to get mentioned at all.
