Here's a question for Carl and Paul Raven, as well as anyone with knowledge of where to find old articles. A friend of my was telling me he's been trying to find a November 1963 issue of TV/Radio Mirror[or Radio/TV Mirror...whichever it went by that year]. Apparently it has a Who's Who on General Hospital article, and he's been searching E Bay for years. Does anyone know if it is available online anywhere? I went to Internet Archive on Open Library. com, but they only go to June of 63. Can anyone suggest other places to look?

Thanks in advance, it would be great to be able to pass the info along...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^just ignore that^^^^^

So Spence Andrews (Daniel J Travanti) had sos, Matt and Ryan...did they ever appear on the show?

This must be not too long after Dr Gina Dante(OBGYN) left, as Monica is waiting for a call from Dr. Dana Hotchkiss.

Mir. Kirkorian's wife Pat died(under Rick Webber's care)..Don't recall if they ever showed her..This was one of those things they repeated...Rick was sued in 76or77 for malpractice(I think it was Rick) by a Mr.Stuart Kennicott after his wife died, and in 83, Vincent Larick held Bobbie and(?Monica ) hostage when his wife died.

Famous Guest stars...Tanya Welk Falan Roberts(daughter of Lawrence Welk) appeared in 1971 as a tavern owner.

Blonde bomb Mamie Van Doren apeared in 75 or 76...Does anyone know if she played a character or herself. Every time I've seen her associated with the show, she doesn't have a character name, It would just say Mamie Van Doren Guest Star. Just wondering.

Lesley saving Monica's bacon...One of my favorite characters, Stella Fields, the harried maid of the original Q's.

Alan/Rick/Dr. John Priest in ambulance on the way to rescue...Priest looks familiar from nighttime...anyone recognize him?

Mamie Van Doren appeared as herself in early 76. I think the story was Lesley's millionaire husband Cameron through his connections introduced Mamie to Laura as a way of showing Lresley he was happy to have Laura in their lives (not true).

i'm sure at that time a young teen would have been thrilled to meet a fading b movie star from the 50's that she probably never heard of! I wonder how that stunt casting came about?

Here's a shot of Stacy Baldwin and Mamie Van Doren from DTV's Greatest Stories No. 1 "Everything You Want to Know About General Hospital" from 1980.

So that's the original Laura

Thanks for the info/ pictures!

Here's another one of Stacey Baldwin as Laura. This time with Judy Lewis as adopted Mom Barbara Vining.

And might as well throw in some young Scotty Baldwin.

And 3 faces of Tommy (Baldwin) Hardy:

Tommy (Bradley Green on the left) here in his bromance with Jeremey (Philip Tanzini).

Sorry about margins.

Good work from Jackie Zeman.

I have no idea who those screaming teens are. At first I thought Melissa was the girl Bobbie took in for a while, but I think that was after Jake had left town.

I don't know who the doctor with Amy is either.

How many times was poor Ruby mugged anyway?

That's Patrick O'Connor w/ Amy(Guy Mack)

The screaming Mimis are Lori(Diane Mozer) and Val(Tuesday Knight). The hot Guy is Greg Howard(John Preston).

Who is Corey? I don't remember him.

Nice to see other hospital Busybody, Joann(Jodie Mann) the Nurse...

Corey is the kid who hit Tania Jones with his car.

And they gave him the keys . That's who I was thinking it was, but I thought he was shorter for some reason..It's been a LOOOOOOOOONG time since I watched these years.. I should watch some more ...

Was Tania's death after this? It's weird, he seemed to be written as the responsible one here.

I'd forgotten Patrick was still around by this point.

I get the feeling the show didn't really manage to bring in any popular teens after Blackie until Jagger/Brenda/etc.
