Dion

Mason is Austin's cousin who has done nothing else other than have secretive meetings, phone calls and texts with Austin for the past two or three months. Like get this story moving already lol

Thanks! Haven't been able to keep up as much since most of the clipping channels on YT either disappeared or focus on specific characters (though I'm sure there's one for Carly). Part 3 seems to leave it ambiguous as to whether Peyton knows about Reese surviving the accident and turning up in Port Charles (only to be killed in the train crash). I'm still inclined to think that she doesn't know. Also, I'm glad that Daniel and Carly's "affair" is being correctly portrayed as a grooming situation. I can't remember if it was portrayed that way back in 2005 but Carly was 16 and Daniel in his 40s so grooming is what it always was.

Wasn't Clink/boom aired May 31st 1996?

Was reading a recap and on Thursday. Randomly it seems Carly ran into Reese's mother - and Reese's mother is still under the impression that her daughter died in a car accident and didn't fake her death only to die in a train crash lol.

Best news that She is now well enough to return to GH

That's a good timeline but I think Luke and Holly's ONS is supposed to have happened during the Mr Big storyline, when Robert was in Port Charles between September 1986 and January 1987. That is why there was always just enough ambiguity for Robert to have been suspected as Ethan's father and for Robert to initially believe Luke when Luke told him that he was Ethan's father in order to give Robert enough will to live when Robin was presumed dead. That said, the ONS took place in Singapore while Luke was on a caper and found Holly there, so it's not too much of a stretch for your timeline to say that Luke left Laura in Texas, did the caper (and the deed with Holly lol) and returned.

Wasn't Daniel J Travati also on General Hospital as Spence Andrews in 1979 - not sure of the exact storyline, think he may have been a "temptation" for Lesley but she chose to stay faithful to Rick (this was in the months before she found out about Rick and Monica and Rick supposedly being AJ's father)

I do wish that whatever issues Liz has were to do with Carolyn as opposed to Jeff. As an never before seen character, Carolyn is an open book and could be written as a complete monster if the writers so wished. And now that I think about it, I kinda like the irony of Jeff ending a disastrous marriage only to find out each time that his next wife was even worse lol (not that he was ever entirely blameless in his marriages to Monica and Heather).

I was curious to see if Nancy and Ingo had ever been on the same side lol so did a bit of research and apparently she wasn't too happy about it either: https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/28338883.html Of course the above was the year before Twitter truly took off so she may have said more if the whole thing had played out a couple of years later. There is one tweet that subtly references it from 2010 though:

True, Guza's GH (and going all the way back to Monty) would have had something like this - with relatively few beats to play out - done and dusted by the end of May at the latest and most likely even sooner. While the Claudia Zacchara murder investigation also took a while to get Sonny to trial, there were more a lot more beats to play out - such as Franco, Sonny shooting Dante etc. I do agree that the prolonged nature of the story has allowed TA to settle into the role and the audience a chance to get used to her in the role, so that is a positive.

Yeah I seem to recall that as early as 1997 Steve Burton was unequivocal about never wanting the Q memories to ever come back.

Agreed. It was the perfect ending.

Just watched the last episode of season 3 and

Dominique's. Apparently he was given up and raised by Katherine Bell's maternal family or something.

Anyone else watching this show? I feel it's kind of slept on. Due to air the final episode of it's third season this week, with a fourth season already ordered. It's an alternate history about what may have happened if the Soviets won the race to put a man on the Moon.

Oh Lisa Elliot, yeah she was a teacher at Erinsborough High and flatted with half-sisters Sarah and Catherine (and later Ben after Catherine left). She was only on for about six months in 1997. Lisa and Harold were actually on briefly together (in the latter part of Madge and Harold's initial post resurrection stint - they briefly left and then returned in the latter half of '97 after Lisa had gone). She wasn't very memorable so it's plausible Harold doesn't remember her either lol. Her exit storyline involved her quitting teaching after Billy wrote "Lisa is a numb-nut" in one of his assignments in order to prove that she wasn't bothering to read them when marking them!

It'd have to be next to the elevator to Helena's lab...the lab was 30 storeys (so like 90 - 120 metres or 300 - 400 feet) deep lol

I could definitely see Liz friends with Mary - with Mary always getting carried away concerning Paul, and Liz trying to be her voice of reason. Liz also would have made a good ally for Nina.

Well if Helena can have a secret lab (which is still there btw - it's where Finn and Liz hid Peter) built under GH without anyone noticing, I suppose at the very least Sonny can get either a gym or a secret entrance for his minions lol

Don't forget Camryn Grimes as Cassie on Y&R at that time too lol

20 years ago it was Neighbours that was completely ignoring their history with no Robinsons left (I think it was the Perfect Blend website who sometime in either 2003 or 04 bemoaned that Helen Daniels hadn't been mentioned in years) and Harold Bishop being the last "Ramsay". Whereas Home and Away was still having visits from Pippa or her original foster children every 1 - 2 years. Of course this began to change in 2003 when they brought Teenage Sky Mangel on and Harold's son David, followed of course by Paul Robinson's return at the end of 2004 and the exceptional 20th anniversary celebrations. Meanwhile Home and Away seems to have pretty much cut ties after Sally left, except for Marilyn and Roo returning and the use of Alf's long lost daughter Quinn (originally a brief storyline from 1995) to provide him with another grandson - Ryder.

I think Patricia Breslin had that too, since she had a bit of star power from her TV work

I'm just grateful that her mother does not appear to be Felicia.

Luke actually arrived in November 1978 but other than that your point still stands. He arrived nearly a year after Monty and didn't become a lead until the fall of 79.
