See guys? Once upon a time, Starr was a typical soap kid--nice, sweet, and yes, CUTE! HATERS TO THE LEFT, ALL OF YOU! "You're not Tom. You can't fool me, you're Daddy." This was in 1998, very early on in KA's run. Jessica finds out she's pregnant with Megan, 1998. The part with her tearing up at the end really gets to me. And Will is the second best Rappaport after Lindsay, if only because ** enter shallow zone** Jason-Shane Scott is too hot for words . **exit shallow zone**

Didn't it turn out that Cain was still conning her or he had been serial bigamist or something like that? At least I read something like that years ago. And that he went to prison at one point offscreen, I don't know (of course, this doesn't explain her meeting up with him again during her Baltimore years/living with him in Detroit). This is when she found out Matt was Max! Happy tears .

I just found this. I had no idea he even sang. I know Jim Nabors does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9z7t2Rv17Y

I feel so bad watching this sometimes, but I just can't turn away. The poor girl self-destructed at the Olympics in her home country, and yet I'll still watch it. How sick. But there you are. Plus, I love the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emddH834Nqg&feature=relmfu She did much better at Worlds, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WKzh8ul5hU

Aw .

Loved it. And I LOVED how Jimmy Kimmel actually brought This Week in Unnecessary Censorship to the dinner, too, knowing quite a few of those people were definitely in the audience that night .

LOL Michele Bachmann my favorite unintentionally hilarious Congresswoman ever. I STILL remember watching this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wytKBIC_ZNA I knew who she was before most of the country did because of MSNBC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcjZGYqYYYQ Well, she certainly can be a fool alright...

I remember it well. It kind of seemed like a backhanded compliment to me at the time . I prefer to think of Max saying it was Luna and not including Gabrielle because of her relationship with Bo at the time. Because really, BOTH of them could have been the loves of his life. And that's probably the best answer anyway .

Having her start off as trying to get revenge on Max due to him abandoning her was fine, but I would have probably gone on after their breakup (if you could really call it that) by having her slowly but surely try to make up for past misdeeds--while, of course, having her retain as much of her anti-heroine status as humanly possible. I certainly would have gone forward with a Max/Gabrielle affair during her relationship with Bo--there were signs that she felt neglected by him in favor of Nora, and it would have been interesting to see what might have happened with both Bo AND Gabrielle cheating on each other (and maybe have Roxy and Max continue to bond as friends and have her slowly realize how much Gabrielle means to him). And even though it would have been great to have seen them on the canvas longer, once I would have reunited them, I would have been fine with them getting married and leaving for North Carolina/Argentina to raise Frank and Leslie--visiting/communicating through Al as he goes through law school (which is what he intended to do at the time of his death). At the same time, I wouldn't have objected to a storyline where Carlo returns and she gives him hell for the years she lost in prison because of him--complete with a scene of Max whipping the tar out of him for threatening their son's life as a child/taking her away from Al when he was so young. I really do miss them sometimes, don't I?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnmSq0KuDgw No matter how much Max loved Luna, and I know he did, to just dismiss any love he had for Gabrielle is just ridiculous, IMO. They restored their friendship (beautifully, I might add) sometime after this, and I do believe they were headed for an affair (ditto Bo/Nora) before JDP was fired. I would have LOVED to have watched what happened there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCpyPzTXtYo&feature=relmfu Here we hear that Gabrielle did in fact want to be a ballet dancer, but couldn't because of her "accident" (Fiona's ballet career ended after she injured her back). This makes both the ballet fantasy and the ballet moves she did in Heaven make much more sense. And it also seems that Max only met her Grandmother this one time (but he recognized her sewing box after Al's death--I guess Gabrielle either had it in Argentina or maybe he remembered it from when they were married, I don't know).

What happened to Jensen Buchanan after she left GH? I've seen that she apparently lives in Vermont now with her family, but has she done any acting since then?

You're the reason I posted this! It's kind of interesting to me how Julia was introduced first and never caught on in the same way, though. I liked some of the scenes I've seen of her with Scott and Dominique.

I remember reading somewhere that KdLR (Antonio) was in love with Sherri Saum (Keri) almost as soon as she joined the show. Well, at the time she was still with Timothy Adams (Ron), so when he joined two years later? Talk about all KINDS of awkward.

Generally I love listening to nostalgic songs more than anything else, but here are three current ones I'm hooked to now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xNZzaLSguo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8hL2JiNEos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O9KHO1Xnn8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex0oQ9r_hZ4&feature=player_embedded Richard Lugar was elected to the Senate from Indiana in 1976, nearly 12 years before I was born in the same state. Now, at 80 years old and as the longest serving Republican in the Senate, he may lose his primary to a Tea Partier on May 8th. I may be a Democrat, I may live in Maryland now and Mitt Romney may be all but the GOP nominee for president now, but my political-junkie heart is ready for this primary. I have no idea how it may turn out.

Tonya's original program at 93 Nationals in Phoenix. Her dress got unhooked so she had to have a restart, but afterwards she's great. One of the pieces she skated to was the Moving Pictures song "Never", from the original version of Footloose. I love that movie! I wish I knew what other songs she skated to here, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpIL3N_rC1Y

It was revealed that RJ & Nora slept together once years ago when she and Hank were married (at least I think they were still married by then).

Tonya's LP at Nationals in 1989. She finished third here. LOVE that crazy head of hair! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFdoiXH3cgc Another favorite of mine, her OP at Worlds in 1992 to "Moon River." Such a pretty dress and make up, it was good to see a different side of her! Even with the botched combination, it was still a pretty good performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1WMW6ZQWnQ

Oh yeah, I have watched quite a few of the performances from Calgary. Debi Thomas felt pressure to be both a skater and a student--she was studying to become a doctor at Stanford (and she did become a doctor), and although she took time off to prepare for the Olympics that year, her parents really wanted her to focus on medical school, which may have affected her performance--but hey, she became a doctor! That's more important than losing a gold medal, right? And I LOVE Liz Manley's LP. She would have won if Katarina Witt wasn't leading in the compulsory figures. And Midori Ito's scores were insane for someone who skated right before the final group--but she deserved them, and no one had to be happier to see the compulsory figures eliminated from competition than her (as great a technical skater as she was, the compulsory figures absolutely killed her--it's amazing she won Worlds in 1989 while they were still a part of competition). That being said, I do have a fondness for Jill Trenary, who won Worlds in 1990 largely because she was leading in compulsory figures--even though Midori's LP was actually stronger than it was the year before, and she otherwise would have won (as Jill's OP didn't go so well). But something about Jill's program that year sticks with me--weird music and all (okay, the first song is pretty cool, and I like the Yanni song in the middle, it's just a bit of a weird music combo).

Here's Nancy performing to B&TB at Skate America 92 and the 93 Nationals. Truthfully, none of her performances to this program were 100% clean (even though she won Nationals in 93, it was mainly due to her artistry and the fact that none of the other skaters that night had a clean performance--and she was leading after her OP).
