GH: Classic Thread
She was married to Lamont wasn't she and Mark and her had an affair, Lamont later died and she married Mark only to be killed offscreen when Mark returned. Lamont was some sort of businessman involved in a scam with David Hamilton and Dan worked for him before joining the staff at GH, Am I correct? I've seen some of the videos of Jeff's paternity reveal post Lassa Fever and Terri did get mentioned a lot during that time. I think either Rick or Jeff went to visit her in Hawaii but after that she doesn't seem to get mentioned at all.

I agree. I was particular intrigued by the reveal that Peter hadn't killed the real Nurse Chloe after all and now it seems she is in captivity with Drew. Also, the identity of the other prisoner will be interesting to find out.

ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years
I've always assumed it was Lives (rhymes with hives) since it was going to be a spin-off of Days of Our Lives, same with Pacific Lives. Just like how Another World was originally going to be a spin-off of As The World Turns.

Willow was working as a teacher for the sick kids at GH, but when Cyrus and Britt took over the teaching program was cut so Willow decided to enroll in nursing school. That was nearly a year ago so presumably she's been attending classes off-screen when not wallowing over whether to choose Michael or Chase.

They're even giving Ava and Portia lots of time together, making Portia acutely aware of how the stalking incidents are affecting Ava. So when the time comes for whatever Spencer's role in the stalking is exposed, Portia's opposition to Sprina will seem organic and absolutely reasonable.

Molly managed to knock him out before he could rape her; it looked like she'd killed him for a moment but then he woke up, told her she'd imagined his harassment and threatened to press charges for knocking him out. Ginger and Tanner teamed up and managed to get the professor to confess on tape.

There were a few scenes in 1981 where Jessie was a bit put out when Dan started taking Ruby out on dates and started acting somewhat passive aggressively towards Ruby. Bobbie confronted Jessie about it (I think Bobbie pointed out that it was Jessie who decided to cool her relationship with Dan) and Jessie made up with Ruby and agreed they could both see Dan as friends. That said, from that point on I think from what I have seen Dan tended to take Ruby out more often and at some point they must have become exclusive and presumably Jessie was ok with that.

In this clip, Sarah tells Emily and Jason about her brother Steven-Lars and Emily realises that Steven sounds just like the old Jason (an "easter egg" for those fans who would have realised Steven- Lars and Jason were second cousins), while Monica and Audrey talk about Monica's marriage to Jeff.

I also recall a storyline in 1992 where Days blatantly ripped off a Rock Hudson and Doris Day movie (Send Me No Flowers); Jack misheard his doctor talking about a terminal patient and thought his hodgkins was back and set about trying to match-make Jennifer with Brian. Agree. Both plots re-energised the show and set it up for a very dynamic 1993.

Look into the past - 1975
I think I read somewhere that the thinking was that the show had so many newcomers at this point that the audience might appreciate a familiar face returning. As to why they choose Lee specifically I don't know. But since his brother Tom was back from the dead and there was potential for Scotty down the road (which eventually came into fruition), I'm guessing this may have factored into their decision. Interesting to see all the kids involved in storylines, I guess they would have been about ten at this point? It's a shame they killed off Martha. This one paragraph suggests that Laura and Jill Streeter were friends, a logical development - considering Laura would have been only a year or so younger than Jill - but nonetheless nice tidbit to know.

Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
Block storytelling. It's been a feature for decades but I think in the past they've done a better job of having characters pop up in the Rovers etc when they are in-between their blocks. No doubt COVID protocols are playing a part but I seem to recall people were noticing issues with it pre-COVID. I think a bigger cause would be to do with the size of the cast, number of eps per week and how they're aired in the UK (usually two episodes on the same night).

GH: Former DAYS Actor Joins Cast
I think the best time for Brenda to rock up would be just before Sonny makes it back to Port Charles, perhaps something Deception related as a favour to Brook Lynn and Lucy. We also get the obligatory visit from Brenda to Sonny's grave. Then Sonny returns and it plays out from there. I'm happy for it to go either way, either Sonny remembers Brenda and not Carly or Sonny remembers neither and falls in love with Brenda all over again.

It'd be quite interesting if cousin Alistair was a brought back as the show's next big bad and was the one behind Holly's disappearance.

I believe Bobbie woke up to herself a bit when one of her schemes to come in between Laura and Scotty caused Laura such emotional distress that Laura took off and got into a serious car accident. Bobbie stopped pursuing Scott and got into a relationship with Roy, only to have her past as prostitute exposed shortly afterwards. Roy didn't take it well and got drunk and caused a scene at the disco on the same night as Luke raped Laura; as a result Roy was one of the suspects after Laura was found in the park. Roy was later "killed" after taking Luke's place during the botched hit which left Bobbie alone. Over the next year or so she mainly concentrated on her nursing work and being a supporting player in Luke and Laura's storylines and had definitely matured a lot by the time Noah Drake came to work at GH.

ALL: Imagine how HWs would have written other soaps…
Perhaps because Reilly wrote Jack Deveraux out in 1993 (before recasting him the following year); killed him off in 2003 - only to bring him back for him to be presumed dead twice more during Reilly's second stint.

Mysteriously dropped Storylines
I think somebody else here (apologies for not remembering who) said Guza ditched it when he came back in 1997.
