Rick DID adopt Laura; Ruby was Tim Spencer's sister; Amy's Dad was killed in a car accident & I'm certain that Barbara Vining died too. I know I saw that...
Rick did legally adopt Laura. He used to say that when leslie and rick would get concerned about laura.
Amy came to visit Laura. Their mother Barbara Vining was so distraught over losing laura to lesley that she became unstable and left amy and Jason Vining for other men and one night stands. While amy was visiting she got a telegram that her father Jason was killed in an accident. so she had no one, so lesley took her in.
i doubt laura ever met her real dad cause she was taken at birth.
I also recall that Aunt ruby was related through tim spencer. but i can't remember where i heard that
Ruby was related through Tim Spencer (Luke & Bobbie's abusive father). I remember watching the cabin scenes during the Endgame story in 2001. Luke was drugged at the time (he thought Ruby and his parents were still alive) and he told Roy that Ruby and his dad were brother and sister.
I was watching during those years, but my memory is really rusty. I don't think a legal adoption of Laura was ever addressed. Her parents were Lesley and a college professor of hers. I remember when Laura joined some kind of hippy commune and Lesley went to get her. I also don't remember how Amy made it to Port Charles. They made an effort in those days to integrate new characters with older ones. So, they invented family relationships to facilitate that. Ruby was most likely a sister of Luke and Bobbie's mother.
I was thinking the other day that it would be so lovely now to escape to the world of Port Charles of the 1980's right now. I'm missing those familiar faces and places and the warm stories that were filled with romance and family life. GH and the world have changed, but somehow the stories were comforting and so engaging in a way that nothing is any more. I could use that now. How about you? Stay well, and stay safe.
Hey all! Hoping everyone is doing well during these strange times.
Wifey and me are deep into the L&L breakup in late 95. Such a well written, organic break up.
Anyway I’ve got old school GH on the mind that I’m hoping OG fans can recall.
- Did Rick legally adopt Laura, or was he just her stepdad?
- What happened to the Vining parents? Why did Amy come to live with Lesley?
- Is Ruby blood related to Luke and Bobbie?
- Did Laura ever meet her biological dad?
