I don't even quite know how we were meant to take that scene. He was so insanely camp Wayland Flowers and Madame would sit him down and ask him where his life is going.

I agree - she did deserve better. Kelly isn't someone I would have brought back either, although I guess he could have had closure with Nola.

Another tidbit (I hope the fans who like to talk about the old days can see this) Someone in the chat mentioned that they used to talk to Elvera Roussel but haven't in years. They mentioned that CBS fought for Elvera when Kobe/Long wanted her out. CBS said she's promoting a movie for us (the TV-movie various GL actors were in at the time), give her 13 weeks. So Kobe/Long did. Then 13 weeks later they fired Elvera. They mentioned that Elvera and John Wesley Shipp were going to return for GL's 60th in 1997. They said that Rauch stopped Elvera and John from returning.

That's neat. I'm sure some teachers had stories...

Carl said that he and Brad Pitt were friends and both auditioned for Alan-Michael. Imagine Brad Pitt as Alan-Michael. I just can't picture that. (Carl said Brad was the only blonde who had auditioned)

Watching Carl T Evans on the Locher Room and he mentioned auditioning for Ryan's Hope but Luke Perry got the role. That is likely Loving as there's not any record of Luke on RH that I recall. He also said that he and Brad Pitt were friends and they both auditioned for Alan-Michael. Imagine that...

Bumping this for tonight.

If Joel Crothers had lived I think she would have worked well with him. I could see her working well with John Gabriel too.

That could have been a good idea. Maybe even have Celia Weston on (as Alice had ended and she'd done some soap work) as a co-worker.

Thanks @Soapsuds Oakdale - always in my heart. I hope we see it again someday.

Great to see your thoughts in here @Allan00 I haven't watched tons of that era of the show, but Meek does seem to be an acquired taste. I agree Gideon sold the turn in Liza. I am not sure what they could have done with her afterward but a complete fresh start could have helped...maybe buying a farm or something.

Tina returned briefly in season 2 and Julie was killed off. She's never spoken of the show that I can find, but I guess they just treated it as a gig and Julie as just another of the many women (I guess the first of those women) to be a corpse for Cliff and JR. I do remember liking her work in the role.

Or he's like his niece Daisy and never gets past about 18.

I don't know how long this will last so enjoy it while you can. For April Fool's (I assume) the Weather Channel has put up a "retro" version of their '90s style template, including that soothing soft jazz. https://weather.com/retro/

Thanks @slick jones a reminder to me that there was a Quantum Leap reboot. What a fascinating life Bernay lived.

I edited my post to mention that she does have GL on her credits, even if her IMDB doesn't. I guess this must be her role.

@alwaysAMC It sure looks like her! @slick jones This may interest you. Lea's credits mention GL, even if her IMDB doesn't. Lea Michele | Broadway Artists Alliance

Thanks for watching it. It was new to me. I know that was a whole series (I think Hayley had one of her own, or Hayley and Brian). That's also the Charlie who was briefly involved with Erica.

Thanks @Soapsuds last year I had seen his social media pages but everything seemed to end in the late '10s. Glad he's still involved. I wish they could have an episode with just the Alan Michaels (if the last actor even wants to talk about that mess).

Posted a few days ago but thank you. Sorry I forgot to tag you.

Thanks again @slick jones A nice tribute to Valerie Perrine. I'm glad someone benefited from giving Evan a son and then killing him off. I love that there's an actress named Katie Keane. Everyone draw some clothes and send her the designs.

Oh you're right. That was very clever to tie the two together (and if not for Andrew Lloyd Webber we never would have had Phyllis [or Nina]...).

Instagram GH's 63rd birthday video. I had to watch this a few times. Very fun. I forgot how hard "Birthday" goes for such a silly little song. I especially like the end of the video. Wally Kurth must have been locked in Salem when this was filmed. I'm posting here since (as mentioned in the main GH thread) it has Ethan.

That's a neat idea. Many Broadway performers have been on soaps but I'm not sure we've had this type of crossover.
