Do you (or anyone else) remember that character Eden?

She was running an escort service, and I think some of her clients were victims of Ben Reade (when he was a serial killer :rolleyes: ) and she was revealed to be Gus' sister.

Anyways, how did she exit? I really don't remember much about that.

I don't remember it being a scandal when it happened with Cosgrove, as this happened around the same time with Mark Collier at ATWT, didn't it? They were trying to push the envelope, before Janet Jackson's nipple caused the usual nanny staters to step in.

I didn't remember the Marty West stuff.

What I loved about GL and what made me have such high standards for the show (which often meant I would probably not give some stories a fair shake) is that GL had such wonderfully complex characters, few people were saints or sinners. Seeing them played off against each other was riveting, and often the characters I had the most problems with were the people who were constantly billed as being above everyone else and being so perfect.

Back when ATWT and GL were the main soaps I watched, before ATWT went on all their purges, I used to feel like ATWT had my heart and GL had my head. Yet there were so many wonderful characters on GL who meant so much and I still miss them. It tells you how strong some of those characters were that they survived so many huge changes in tone and structure, because I'm not sure if any soap had as many wild changes in tone, theme, and structure as GL did. Just look at poor Trish Lewis suddenly forced to have hair piled up to Jesus and big fur coats once the Lewises descended on Springfield.

There was a rumor that Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbin was crazy over Bradley Cole. I think that's why they brought him back. I'm sure some fans were sad to see Richard go but I don't think there was a lot of anger over his exit.
