I have a question, does anyone know WHY Jake slept with Lucy and the circumstances around Tom Hardy sleeping with Lucy?

Those are two instances I have never been able to find clips of or wrap my head around. Why did Tom sleep with Lucy while he was married to Simone? And how did Jake end up sleeping with Lucy? There didn't seem to be any sexual tension between them leading up to it or anything. I know it happened when they were on the run and hiding out in that house, but I've never understood how it actually happened.

I'm surprised Sam Behrens' Jake was never brought back. He seemed to have built a real home and family with Bobbie, then from what I've read and watched it appears Scott conspired to keep them apart. Suddenly she was married to Tony and that whole part of her life was totally forgotten.

@Vizion Tom Hardy and Lucy slept together during Monty's 1991 run. Before Monty, there was an ongoing triangle for Simone and Tom involving Simone's prior affair with Harrison Davis, who had managed to become assistant chief of staff at General Hospital. Harrison was briefly assumed to be Tommy Jr.'s father due to the meddling of Dr. Pauline Ravelle, Simone's mother and Harrison's biggest supporter. When Harrison learns he is the father, and realizes he won't get Simone, he marries Meg Lawson and launches a custody suit. In Meg's first scenes in February 1990, she had a pre-established crush on Dr. Davis so he was really taking advantage of how she felt about him.

Over in the Alan-Lucy story, prior to Monty's return, Lucy had coerced Alan into marriage, and when Alan decided to leave her, Lucy announced she was pregnant. Alan stayed with her. In real life, Lynn Herring was also pregnant. In January 1991, Lucy miscarried her baby (it was actually Scotty's) and skipped town so Herring could go on maternity leave. The relationship between Alan and Lucy was dissolved, I believe, in February when Lucy was out of town. When she returned, Lucy was single.

In the meantime, Monty continued to dump almost every single character that had been created since she left. This included Stephanie Williams' Simone Ravelle Hardy. During her return, Monty wanted to ground the show back in reality and felt that the best way to do that was to have characters just reference real life events and social issues. Simone became suddenly caught up in the plight of children in Romania while the war was going on. Her old college classmate Vanessa (Donna Leavy) popped in for an episode or two to talk about the work she was doing overseas. In February, when Williams' one-year contract was up, Simone left for Romania. 

Tom was left to care for little Tommy on his own with the help of Audrey and Steve. I imagine that Tom and Lucy's relationship probably came out of Tom's loneliness with Simone being away. It looks like the story starts in April when Lucy encounters Scotty and his cousin Tom Hardy having lunch. When Tom and Lucy later go out in late May, Scotty is again present. I think Tom and Lucy was about complicating both Tom and Simone and Lucy and Scotty. It also looks like that Lucy has been flirting with Harlan Barrett in the meantime. Williams' Simone returns in June as the show starts its second revamp since Monty arrived after the ratings fell out with the Eckert family consuming large sections of the story along with a slew of other new characters.

Jake sleeping with Lucy seems to be plot-driven rather than character-motivated, but luckily, it did kind of pay off. Most significantly, it and Lucy's short-lived pregnancy continued the Bobbie-Lucy rivalry. Lucy being entangled with Bobbie & Jake (and later, recent widower Tony) also gave her a reason to hang around when she could have easily faded away, like so many '80s GH characters did after their initial stories or two. And I suppose having Bobbie & Jake barely get a moment of peace after finally being married followed the precedent set and continued by other GH newlyweds.

Scott's involvement didn't help matters, but really, life went to hell for Bobbie and Jake not too long after they got married. At least when she was with Tony, they had a second chance (1991-94).

I love these synopsis’☺️!! Especially, Jessie Brewer featured so prominently 💜!!!

A beautiful 1981 GH promo with scenes from the past at minute 2.05 (it includes other soaps RH, AMC and OLTL)

 

 

I'm not sure how long the daytime promos were meant to run, but the primetime ones are for stuff that aired Sunday, July 29-Thursday, Aug. 2, 1979.

How many times was Jessie on trial?  She really went through it, the long suffering character that you desperately wanted to have a happy ending.

Jake was my favorite pairing for Bobbie.  Tony was so sanctimonious.

I think this was the only time Jessie was actually on trial.

When Jessie was accused of murdering Phil in 1975, they only made it as far as a preliminary hearing (with the result being that Jessie should stand trial) before Diana (who erroneously believed Peter had done it) stepped in and confessed to the crime herself in order to spare Jessie from having to stand trial.
