Los Angeles General Medical Center will recognize our storied past while also launching us into a very bright future.”

In the motion, Solis cited widespread confusion between County-USC and “the nearby Keck Hospital of USC.”

She said research indicated “there is no consistent name or brand” by which the general public or even the patients and staff know the establishment, which was long known simply as General Hospital. Its image is still used in exterior shots for the long-running TV soap opera of that name.

That reference to Scotty and Lee meeting makes it seem like it was the first time but I think earlier in the summaries they  did meet-maybe 1966?

Barbara X??? what's that about? Maybe Malcolm X's sister?

And little Jack that wanted to live with Steve and Audrey was played by Barry Williams -Greg from the Brady Bunch.

Yeah I did a double-take at that myself, but after reading the summary again I think it is supposed to refer to Lee and Scotty meeting up for the first time since Lee and Meg's separation, hence Scotty asking Lee where he has been.

She used a cane for many years too.  It’s always great to see Lila when she was more in the thick of things.  And original Edward was such a fun rascal bastard.  I love JI and the Mary Mae story, which I can never imagine David Lewis in.  But nobody played the pain of his relationship with Tracy better than David Lewis.  When she left in the early 90’s he almost breaks your heart looking out the window.  And he was much more fun and wiley than the blowhard  he becomes under Ingle.

An absolute lead!

Carol is played by Nancy Fisher.  

Sorry about the confusion, I just typed it the way it was in the summary, Scotty definitely had a father/son relationship with Lee at this point.

Barbara X is a runaway, who, from what I gather, wouldn't give her name.

Jack by this point is being played by Rory O'Brien.

Because I have so little visual reference in my memory for GH before Monty, reading these recaps I keep having to tell my brain Tracy (not Q), Jeff (not Webber), Denise (not Alexander). 
 

It’s so cool to have all these details.

I have only seen the episodes that aired at the end of the 1970s/beginning of the 1980s. But are the "Tracy" and "Jeff" mentioned in the summaries Tracy Quartermaine and Jeff Webber? They were married?

    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.

    • When written correctly or played correctly the antagonist will often have a sizable following, although this can go too far. It's why having a balance and allowing your heroes to be called out by other characters is so important. Speaking of that, I did not realize Sonni got a lengthy montage when Michelle Forbes left, or that Pam Long was willing to showcase Sonni/Josh so much for her farewell. The care taken reminds me of when Anne Heche left AW a few years later. Given that Sonni was brought in an as interloper, it shows just how much respect the show had for Michelle's talents and how much she captivated viewers in those two years.

        Oh I think Holly gives Blake a smack in the mouth. I think it was during Liz's early days as Blake as that is when they become estranged for a good while, although I may be wrong.
    • Billy slapping Mindy is a turning point in '90. And I feel there was a slap between Holly and Blake during the Ross thing.
    • That definitely was her voice. 
    • I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

      to me.
    • GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
    • Ahh ok, that makes sense. Gosh, I didn't remember Frances passing in 1994. I thought she was with us longer than that. She was such a sweet lady and character. Yes, so good and I'm so happy there is a quality version online. I looked it up and AMC won the Best Directing Emmy for 1994, so I have to assume they submitted these episodes. I'm not sure how to find out to confirm, but would only make sense. I still get chills watching it because I remember it so vividly as a 10 year old. Of course the drama of it all to see what happens to your favorite characters pre-spoiler days, but I grew up in the Midwest so tornadoes were a real, scary thing that. We had monthly tornado drills in school, so this made it seem very real to me. Very impressive. It makes me want to go find and compare the Mardi Gras explosion scenes and their second tornado many years later (although I think I remember that being a lot of CGI perhaps). I don't think I've seen those since they first aired. But for 1994, this was very well-done. Ahh - this was the start of Noah! And so many other great things - I really loved AMC from 91-96. 
    • Speaking of slaps, there's the infamous Ed slapping daughter Michelle during the Maryanne Carruthers mess in 2003.
