General Hospital, February/March 1978



FEBRUARY 1978

"Abc promoted its daytime products just as heavily.  The campaign title " Love in the afternoon"  teased audiences with glimpses of upcoming serial episodes, but Abc didn't limit the run of such spots. New spots are produced daily."

"It's too soon to measure the efficiency of such high-powered plugs, but for at least one week in January, Abc's daily averages won over CBS.  And in Demographics, Abc had the Top-3 Ranking Serials:  All My Children, Ryan's Hope, and One Life To Live,"

"Several weeks ago, Tom Donovan was quietly and unceremoniously removed as producer of General Hospital and replaced by Gloria Monty. Monty and her new crew of writers have sharpened the story focus and recent ratings have indicated a slight recovery."






February 8, 1978:   "Laura tries a new look"








February 10, 1978:   "Laura needs more than Scotty has to offer"








February 14, 1978:  "Laura longs for her real family" (Barbara Vining)












February 22, 1978:  "Laura's disappearance (She ran away to Barbara Vining's)  ----gives Bobbi her opportunity, and Lesley's problems with Laura have just begun"











March 6, 1978:  "Scorned by Lesley, David finds a willing Laura"









And, on February 27, 1978:   Gail !!!!
