Yea, I loved Lesley.

Bingo. When the show killed off Alan Q, I knew the show had lost it's way. It hasn't been the same since.

Well Leslie was supposed to be there but she couldn't make it so Lynn took her place. Yea, JFP should have NEVER killed off Alan Q! I'm still mad about that!

Now this is the GH cast I want to see!

She was. Tonja Walker was great as Olivia.

I actually couldn't stand Colton Shore. The actor had no charisma. I was so thankful when Frisco came back for Felicia.

Love me some Robert and Holly!

Yea, I give kudos to Monty for that as well. No female ever got raped again on her show. I did notice that. Monty's biggest thing was the romance. She had that in spades with Luke & Laura, Robert & Holly, Frisco & Felicia and Duke & Anna.

Yea, that was just a tour de force. Genie was outstanding. In fact, I just might have to rewatch those scenes again.

I totally agree. The revisit of Laura's rape was so good. I was so surprised when Genie didn't even get nominiated for an Emmy that year. Then again, that was the year that Susan Lucci finally won.

Brian Frons joined ABC Daytime in August of 2002. The beginning of the end. The funny thing is that I really enjoyed Sonny, Jason and Carly in the early 90s. It's the fact that they have remained the sole focus of everything since. I absolutely abhor all three characters now. Way to run a once great show into the ground, ABC.

Yea, I'm a huge Monty ran but I loved the Riche years. I loved how Wendy truly respected GH's past but made the show her own. Unfortunately, succeeding EPs didn't follow her same path. The disrespect of GH's past is it's greatest flaw IMO.

Yea, I'm a huge Gloria Monty fan but I was no fan of her second stint. She lost the midas touch. However, it's amazing how long ABC will keep EPs that are much worse than her. I'd take GM's 2nd stint in a heartbeat over what we've had in the last two decades.

But Gloria was a smarty lady. She knew there was no chemistry between Finola and Don. Gloria referred to Frisco and Felicia as her "young leads". Robert & Holly were more of the main leads. So, when Emma left, there was a supercouple hole. Quickly, Anna Devane became a heroine and then they cast Ian Buchanan as Duke. The 4th GH Supercouple was born.

^ Goodbye Holly and hello to the new GH heroine Anna.

I liked Robert Newman on GH. He had some good scenes with Emma Samms.

Love all the pics. Thanks for posting.

Funny, I miss the ambulance opening the most because for me, that was when GH was the best.

GH actors from the good old days.

She was on Y&R? Really? Her name was Linda Sanders and I couldn't find that she had been on Y&R. I feel like I remember she did some posing for Playboy or something like that.

Yea, I liked Cheryl & Robert better than Katherine & Robert. For me, Katherine was a bit boring. But because Katherine was paired with Robert, she became popular. And I agree with DRW50, that the writing for Cheryl got worse as time went on. I floved Robert & Holly together. They were my favorite. But I also like Robert with Anna and with Tiff. I didn't like Robert with Jackie or Autumn. Those pairings were not good. And the actress that played Autumn was horrendous. Ugh. Glad she left.

Yea, Edie was paired with Tristan Rogers who was uber popular, and the audience came to love the pairing. Edie was a pianist and NOT an actress. But she was a natural and the fans liked her.

I hear you. But I'd kill for the Monty returns era over today's mess.

Sigh. I miss that GH.

I remembering crying when they killed off Alan Q because I knew TPTB were systematically killing off classic GH. I don't think they wanted any reminders of GH's great past because their version of GH (Sonny, Carly & Jason) could never compare to GH's great history. For me, symbolically, killing off Alan Q, was killing GH. It's never been the same since.
