RIP
Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives.....
“Not a doctor but I play one on TV”
“Never watched soap operas “
Not even Dark Shadows? I thought everybody watched that one. :)
Luke raped Laura my senior year of high school
In my college years Luke and Laura fall in love despite that little issue
Imagine that theme today in the Howl Era
We watched them there wasn’t TV like now
3-5 channels back then
My mother watched As The World Turns with that vamp Lisa
Her and her wonderful old black maid Violet who could sure cook with TV trays in the den glued to that crap on a black and white Zenith....
it was so funny
Watched the Hot and Horny too
A fair number of stars came up that way then
Demi Moore
Laura was Genie Francis who’s fairly conservative and was every kids wet dream in the mid to late 70s
I bought my first VCR in 1980, what a great piece of equipment, a Panasonic. Got it by mail order from 47th Street Photo in New York and it was pricey, about $1000.
I started recording some of the better soaps at the time, some of them were better than the what was in at night.
“All My Children”, my personal favorite “One Life To Live”, sometimes “General Hospital”, sometimes “Guiding Light”.
Good era for the soaps and I do remember Peter Hansen, great actor.
Always liked him as an actor. Don’t know soaps but I enjoyed his film work
When able to do so, General Hospital was the go-to for this type genre. The Luke and Laura story line being played at that time.
Failed to realize that Mr. Hansen also appeared in the movie “When Worlds Collide”.
RIP, Sir.
RIP.
A few of us FReeper MEN still watch the soaps. OK, well, maybe I’m the 0.000001% who does. :-P
He played in a lot of early TV shows and some pretty good movies.
WWII Marine combat pilot. That would rule out a career in todays Hollywood.
Many years ago, I watched the soaps a little bit (not all of
them). Then when “Days of our Lives” came on one day with
that “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the DAYS OF
OUR LIVES”; I turned the tv off and said, “Buddy you are
RIGHT!” - and have never watched the soaps after that.
General Hospital. Isn’t that the one Near CSU?
