Dion

Diana had another baby! Why do I get the feeling that was forgotten about as time went on...sorta like Lesley's first husband and their child. Thanks for the summaries as always

IIRC though Karen's death was mentioned on GH at the time it happened on PC...I seem to recall a scene where Scotty told Sonny Karen had died and the two ended up arguing.

Regulars of the Classic GH thread are currently learning about Phil Brewer's "death" thanks to @depboy - Phil was presumed dead in a plane crash in South America in November 1969, but in same episode where Lee announced his death, the audience saw him comatose in a hospital under an assumed name. He woke up shortly afterwards and in March 1970 he snuck back in to the States using the alias Harold Williamson. It shouldn't be long before the summaries start to cover Phil's meeting with Diana Maynard, later better known as Diana Taylor.

It was a hurricane but there had already been a couple of attempts to revamp the show before then (the cull of '75, the arrival of the Webbers etc). But yes the hurricane was significant - in addition to killing off Diana's daughter Martha (which eventually led Diana to adopt Steven-Lars), it also introduced Lisa/Lana (the split personality pretending to be twins storyline you were thinking of) and David Hamilton as victims of the hurricane, and kicked off Scotty and Laura's romance. And - while not directly related to the hurricane - shortly afterward Monica started working with Alan on the new cardiac wing...

She's definitely coming soon. Just depends on how long it takes Phil to get out of South America I guess.

Oooh so the audience knew Phil was alive the entire time.

I liked that Laura remembered that she had memorised the formula back in 1981 and was able to use that to switch off the machine. I thought that minor plot point would never be brought up again.

Yeah I did a double-take at that myself, but after reading the summary again I think it is supposed to refer to Lee and Scotty meeting up for the first time since Lee and Meg's separation, hence Scotty asking Lee where he has been.

I think this was the only time Jessie was actually on trial. When Jessie was accused of murdering Phil in 1975, they only made it as far as a preliminary hearing (with the result being that Jessie should stand trial) before Diana (who erroneously believed Peter had done it) stepped in and confessed to the crime herself in order to spare Jessie from having to stand trial.

Only 40 more years til it actually happens! But uh, maybe we should skip world war III lol

That's good news. Hopefully we'll soon find out more details about who else is coming back

I just wish they'd end the whole Linc thing, it has been going on for over three years now. Ok, granted there was a near two year gap in the middle before they picked it up again, but it just highlights how stuck Chase and Brook Lynn are.

This past week - in reference to the Brightshine couple and their pregnant surrogate cleaner - I've been continually saying "What in the Handmaids Tale is this" lol

Oh yes, that Voyager scene. Superb.

They are getting a helluva lot of use out of the Ten-Foward Los Angeles set, not that I'm complaining. It's a nice set and a logical move to have re-use it by having Picard set it up as a holodeck program on the Titan.

As it happens both father and son were rainbow babies with Audrey and Simone having miscarried earlier pregnancies before their respective Toms were born.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I think most of us here hate her lol! Heather at this point was a great anti-heroine and her character was a good juxtaposition to Laura. Even though there characters don't cross paths very much they did have a brief interaction at Joe's party which I thought was interesting. Yeah it was clear that they wanted to do something with him long-term, otherwise why else have all those endless prison scenes but as you say it didn't work out.

It is supposed to be the 60th anniversary of the hospital. You are absolutely right that it definitely wasn't Steve Hardy's first day back on the job in the first episode back in 1963 but they basically ret-conned that for the 30th anniversary to say that it was and then carried that on for the 50th. Then in 2019 when they wrote in Gail Baldwin's death her will stated that the treasure hunt she had set up was to take place on the 56th anniversary of the hospital, thus making April 1 the anniversary of the hospital itself and they've carried that on this year for the 60th.

While I was excited for the first week or so, I quickly grew a bit bored and haven't watched for over a month now.

I think this is partly why they have decided to end Discovery after five seasons. With both Picard and Discovery ending it frees up space for two more shows.

I think the birthdate they gave her was May 1980

I think I get what you mean. There'd be an establishing shot with a bouquet of flowers or something and sometimes the camera would then slowly pan across the room...

Yeah, my thought is that they likely first got together soon after All Good Things and just so happened to be broken up whenever a movie came along. I also liked that they tied in Picard's work with the Romulan refugees and Beverly's personal losses in a way that makes her absence make sense. Me too!

Wow.
