General Hospital - Aug 1, 1994 Faces of the Heart Opening

[litaandjeffxfan1]

whos that kid next to luck???

[pxlbarrel]

@litaandjeffxfan1 The kid next to Lucky (and the dog) is Sly Eckert. Lucky's cousin and son of Bill Eckert, Luke's identical cousin who was killed in a case of mistaken identity by Frank Smith.

[litaandjeffxfan1]

omg its jason and aj and also

[weareclouds]

Frank Valentini (GH's new producer) needs to bring back this theme before the end.

[Soonkie123]

This was one of my favorite times that GH was on...The storyline between Robin and Stone and when Ricky Martin was on!! Good times

[Pinkranger87]

Damn Ricky martin was so freakin Hot with Long HAIR

[cessiegurl]

I hope General Hospital will last long! We need to save GH! the soap operas now are getting canceled just like all my children, one life to live, as the world turns, bold and the beautiful, and guiding light. :(

[seriousskillz]

0:28 i thought that was Ricky Martin

[pxlbarrel]

@seriousskillz it is.

[maxsax2003]

Ricky Martain was on General Hospital!! LMAO!!!

[monny287]

I remember this opening; my stepmother used to watch this every afternoon. I used to wonder why the entire thing was in red (I was 4, give me a break).

[Marie503874]

I loveee every faces of the heart opening. :)

[damianjd08]

was that sean kannon

[pxlbarrel]

@damianjd08 Yes, Sean Kanan (I think that's how it is spelled)

[CaptainBuckRogers]

Wanted to be a soap opera star just to be in the openning sequence. The coolest and best GH openning! I loved Damian Smith. Such a suave crook.

[udhoop]

Sean and Tiffany! I miss Sean & Tiffany! And Tony, and Alan and a host of others not shown here...Robert, Anna, Frisco, etc!

[coleypinkful]

@udhoop I miss all the greats that were on the show too. I hate how they wrote them all off. The show used to be so good to watch, now it is centered around Sonny and jason's world. Which i love sonny and Jason but not as much as I used to. The writing isn't as good anymore. The only time I watch is when Robin is on or when she has scenes with Sonny and Jason, or i watch LUcky JJ rocks the role always has.

[Chaz1126]

@udhoop Who is the guy before after Sonny & before Katherine???

[pxlbarrel]

@Chaz1126 Damian Smith, Frank Smith's son.

[Chaz1126]

@pxlbarrel Thanks & whose the boy with Lucky & the dog

[pxlbarrel]

@Chaz1126 Sly Eckert, son of Bill Eckert, Luke's identical cousin (played by Tony Geary).

[CaptainBuckRogers]

@pxlbarrel I miss Damian. Cool class & suave gangster!

[drsalazar83able]

Brenda was so pretty 

[love4angieb]

is that Ricky Martin near the end with the long hair if not who is it he looks so familiar?

[pxlbarrel]

@love4angieb Yes, it's Ricky Martin.

[talatiami]

Question. the scene where robin runs into anna's arms when she's quite small, what storyline is that from. i thought it was the asian quarter.

[pxlbarrel]

@talatiami It is from the Asian Quarter storyline

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

robyn is so young and cuute

[TrueTalkTV]

Wow. I just watched the 1993 version (the debut of the song--then showed it to my mom, so she could help me with the ppl I didn't know, since I didn't start watching til 98) and now this song, ONLY a year LATER, looks so much diff lol. I'm gonna keep going up by each year as I searched. This stuff is GREAT!

[lillady623]

@TrueTalkTV GH used to update the opening so fast then, now we have to wait FOREVER for updates.

[RonandHerm]

0:12  who's that with jason

[pxlbarrel]

No other than AJ Quartermaine as played by Sean Kanan.

[RonandHerm]

oh i don;'t think was old enough this far back or maybe i just didn't i was a kid in the 90's but thanks for answering

[SoapsGoldenAge]

THAT is the guy who plays Deacon on Y & R and B&B. Sean Kanan. I think he had a "personal challenge" and they fired him, replacing him with cute but teensy Billy Warlock. What was fantastic about the Sean-Steve Burton casting was they LOOKED like brothers! Jason and AJ only shared Alan as a father, Monica being AJ's bio mom and Susan Moore being JAson's. But it was still great when Sean played AJ--better than the recast.

[coleypinkful]

@RonandHerm He was the second AJ, the first AJ i can't remember his name. There have only been three adult AJ's, i liked the second and the third each had his own different take on AJ.

[udhoop]

The first AJ was played by Billy Warlock...I liked him the best.

[coleypinkful]

@udhoop There were two other Aj's before Billy Warlock. Billy came on the show in the late summer of 97. The first Aj showed up in 91 right before Steve Burton(Jason Q.) came to the show can't remember his name. The second Aj was Sean Kanan he Played AJ for about four years. He is the one in this opening. I too liked Billy's Aj at first but I didn't like how awful they made the character in the end mostly becuz of Carly, Sonny, Jason and Courtney. That sucked. I miss Aj on the show.

[landrykkb]

@coleypinkful Gerald Hopkins was A.J. Quartermaine prior to Sean Kanan.

[hukelauidol]

why don't i remember who the kid is with Lucky?? is that Sly??

[pxlbarrel]

Yup, that's Sly Eckert.

[queenofspades84]

@hukelauidol oooo i was always like who is that kid w lucky.

[coleypinkful]

@queenofspades84 He was sly ekert, they were cousins.

[sfwildcat]

I miss this opening - and this CAST!

[Muggle423]

I know! I love this opening. I don't know why they had to change the song to the cruddy one they have now. And I just love the 3 L's-Lucky, Luke, and Laura! I wish I had watched the show back then but I was 9 so now I have to enjoy clips of the good old days on here. Thank God for YouTube.

[lillady623]

@Muggle423 I watched when I was 9 lol, I blame my mother! lol

[SoapsGoldenAge]

I agree--I can't believe this many of the vets were still with the show in 94. Sad. Don't watch all that much anymore but I can't recall Bobbi having a scene with this Carly for months--did I miss them? Where IS Bobbi, Monica, et al.

[gijoeboxer]

Seriously. WTF have they done to this show? I realize ppl come and go but this show really is a shadow of its former self. Sad. What happened to the Quartermaines? Laura? All the good cast?

[SoapsGoldenAge]

And Genie Francis--skinny as she is now--would come back. It would immediately raise the emotional stakes of the Lucky-Elizabeth-Nicolas story to have Denise Alexander and Genie Francis in the mix. HUGELY!

[dmaescott]

What have they done to this show? Since the virus storyline a few years ago the storylines have sucked! Bring back the old favourites - get Laura back with a proper storyline, they let Ned go back to Days, and since Days didnt want Mary-Beth Evans and Steve Nichols then GH should find a way to bring them back too, along with Mathew Ashford as Tom Hardy

[chamelia]

OMG this was the best cast ever!! We didn't know how good we had it back then!! This even made me think about michael jordan and how good basketball was in the 90's!

[Wheeloffortunelover]

General Hospital on TV Tokyo (ジェネラル・ホスピタル)

[edddy32]

i know that is lucky and his dog but who is the other boy

[dooge83]

That kid played Sly Eckert, Lucky's cousin. His father Bill Eckert, who looked like Luke, was killed the year before.

[jld005]

Sean and Tiffany look like they were two different shots having been superimposed on each other.

[bellaviking67]

Sonny & Brenda... Robin & Stone... the original Lucky... what more could you ask for?

[nunofyourfukinbusnes]

@bellaviking67 a life without Sonny, the bastard who destroyed the show and killed all the fabulous people on it. I HATE GUZA!

[coleypinkful]

@nunofyourfukinbusnes I hate how he destroyed it too. He got rid of good people and broke up good couples or put people together that shouldn't be. I want Jason with Robin again and Sonny with Brenda, Luke and Laura. Lucky i think deserves to be happy with someone new like Maxie, their scenes recently seem to have some chemistry. He needs to go back and watch old footage and shows and get ideas.

[Dave82481]

I miss Dr. Steve

[damngurl2004]

FOSTER! Yay.

[Quartermaine11]

can i be honest? i can't stand the new theme song, they should have kept it like this!

[pxlbarrel]

Not just the theme song...the whole thing. The current opening has so many fast cuts and jumps that it drives me nuts.

[Helena200406]

Well, hopefully the new opening (debuting next week) will be better.

[Quartermaine11]

oh my god, that's when ricky martin was still on there! those were the days

[BetaArtemis]

back when GH was more focused on family and good storytelling.

[tinytvfan]

Ahhh, the good 'ole days!

[wownow21]

who are half of these people?

[pxlbarrel]

They were the heart and soul of the show. The show is pretty much lifeless now without them.

[verbalhigh]

you got that right

[verbalhigh]

you got that right most of these characters carried gh now you got a bunck of clowns that are killing the show literally

[latviansexualassault]

I know!

Plus the 04+ opening is horrid. They need to bring this opening, alot of these characters, and the good storylines back to GH.

[verbalhigh]

well one can only hope but thank goodness for youtube

[miggy25]

great intro...thanks...can't believe it had Lucky and his dog!

[30yrsofalanmonica]

This was great and thanks for posting it. I love that picture of Alan and Monica together in a shot. I also loved the one shot with them and the boys.

[Carmaker1]

Also, thank you for posting this!

[Carmaker1]

It debuted in June 1994 and was changed as a result of complaints about it, compiling all of the GH's black characters in one shot.

[pxlbarrel]

That's funny. Their storyline demonstrated that the three of them were a very close family so it wasn't odd to see that they were grouped into one shot. It's funny how people think.

[Helena200406]

Seriously. I wish people could let go of the racism thing, because people are people, and nothing makes any single person different from everyone else.
