I watched the show when I was home sick, first when I was in junior high. Then when I was in my20'sand living in D.C. I watched GH when I was ill and staled home from work and fell in love with Robert and Holly and the Luke/Laura storyline and immediately went out and bought a Beta Max so I could record the show and watch it the second I came home.
Leslie, Monica, and other actors that played parents back then are now in their 80's and 90's so it is expected the mortality rate will be high.
