Thanks. I didn't realize that Jimmy never appeared again after the 60's. Larry Haines was such a wonderful actor yet also so warm and comfortable to watch. His scenes with Jenny were terrific. I wonder if the show was thinking of pairing them. Either way, that's the type of basic conversation, talking about loneliness, that makes a soap. It is much better than the airplane stuff, which is OK, just not that good. I don't even know who Brian was. The show had so many younger guys who cycled through the last six years.

I know what you mean. Roger was such a complex character, and somehow all the twists and turns make sense. Over and over it was said in books and magazines that viewers just didn't want to let him go. The Dobson years seem so exquisitely well-constructed. I think they really got into a groove at GL which they didn't match at their other soaps.

Rita Lloyd or RIta Bauer? Rita stays on until summer 1981.

I know what you mean about the twins. The lady was Eva Marie Saint. I loved the feel of this episode - a lazy family outing, yet with real life problems still under the surface. It just felt so natural. I had to laugh when they were called "the best dressed" show on TV. I don't know what that is supposed to mean.

In 4 years I don't know if anyone will even remember him. He gets attention for being a loudmouth, not for any of his actual positions. If being a loudmouth was what got you the nomination, Sarah Palin would be there instead of Romney. Speaking of Romney, John Boehner says a truth, and has to backpedal as fast as possible. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/07/08/boehner-people-probably-arent-going-to-fall-in-love-with-romney/ Emphasis on this: Can you imagine the cries of bigotry if a Democrat had said that part about "fellow Mormons"?

Stu was married to Marge and they had a daughter, Janet, and a son, Tom. I think at one time Tom was retconned into being their nephew, but I can't remember. Janet had a daughter, Liza. Jo was Suzi's aunt. It's nice to see more of Linda Gibboney, and Susan Scannell. There's a Daytime TV letter from around this time bitching about plastic trees and how they don't care about jungle nonsense with Warren.

More poignancy in this one clip than on Y&R in years and years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maVHECm0_YY&feature=autoplay&list=ULnEnDj6PrAHA&playnext=1

Thank you to saynotoursoap. I didn't think I'd ever see any of the TV version of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkYx66j0rMU&feature=channel&list=UL

I just love this Nikki. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mQNntSuZOI&feature=autoplay&list=ULcOiQ45ncILI&playnext=3

Before he was so damaged by the Christian/Syed story, I thought Masood might be one of my favorite EE characters ever. I don't think that will ever happen now, but Nitin is a wonderful actor, I'm happy he will have a little more to do.

I think Andy just went to prison and was never mentioned again after a few months. Trudy was Morgan's best friend. She kind of looks like Hope, which is distracting. She had a C-plot romance with Tim. Every time I hear their version of "You Needed Me" it gets to me, even though I'm not a huge fan of couple themes.

I just love watching Trish. Soaps don't have characters like this now. GL had a number of dull characters at this time, so Trish could have seemed like more of the same, but Rebecca Hollen has a certain grace.

Wow, these stories still make me EXTREMELY ANGRY, many years later! That's quite an accomplishment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHSXUBeVV_0
