I'll be the same as her. But at least I'll hit 30 sober. ❤️

Then why is she listed as co-head writer for 1980-1981 in practically every site I checked? Are all of them wrong? I am not saying you are wrong... I'm just shocked such level of misinformation has been spread from site to site. Thank you for telling me. Ah someone hasn't been reading my commentaries! Mary is the answer you are looking for. It was not a mistake. 😂 Me or Felicia? 😂

Another World - January 12, 1989.mp4

Another World - January 12th 1989 Self-respect has no price. In Mary's house, Pilara came to say her version of the story... and returned Mary's candlestick in a moment... that honestly made me tear-up. Mostly because of Mary's reaction to it. She is still certain that Pilara is a good human being. Oh, Mary, Mary. Empathy will be your downfall. When Cass revealed to the McKinnons he had accepted to be Reuben's defense... Vince stormed out and Mary verbally slapped him with one sentence - "He beats her." That stunned Cass... who just now realized he may have made a mistake. In the other part of town, Sharlene was trying to buy the expensive necklace from a jeweler that had something ugly on his mind. Seeing how desperate Sharlene is, he offered to give her the necklace... in return for a sexual favor. Sharlene... ice-cold declined and left with her dignity and self-respect intact. Go Sharlene! She is becoming my other favorite character. Then... in her darkest moment... she found light and safe haven in John's hands. She told him about the lost jewel and he shared details of his trauma - the two bonded even more. As he was leaving, he turned back... to kiss her. Ah! This is love. ❤️ Overall - 11/10! One of the best episodes so far! Favorite moment - there are so many of them. I would like to start with this cute little moment that made both me and my husband laugh. Felicia's reaction to her turning 40 soon. Girl, I feel like screaming too, because in a few weeks I turn 30! Another World - January 12, 1989.mp4

WOW. Thank you so much for posting these here. I haven't see anyone more CHARMING than Erica Kane in the second episode. When she smiles, she lights up the room. ❤️

Another World - January 11th 1989! A deal with the Devil What an episode! What should I start with! First off, Mary is BACK! My favorite character! And her cheerful mood after spending the Holidays with the ex-hooker M.J... is completely shattered by Vince's news about the restaurant. Mary has to face the consequences of her empathy and good heart. This always happens to people like us... who offer a helping hand to those who don't deserve it. She of course hurried to work and instead of dealing with her own heartache, tried to help John Hudson work through his trauma. This helped her realize how much she loves and cherishes her husband Vince. The parallels she saw in John's feelings towards Sharlene... made her go back home and kiss her husband, tell him she loves him. John had a realization of sorts too and went to see Sharlene, probably to tell her that his previous attitude towards her and their relationship was changed and that he was Sorry. But the moment he came at Sharlene's door, she was already on her way out - Necklace gate continues as Sharlene is trying to do everything in her power to replace the necklace - she has seen an ad in the newspaper about the same necklace. And told her brother Jason that she'll do ANYTHING to get it. She will offer everything she has. Will she? @Xanthe - I thought of your post! About the Maupassant inspiration - I love it. But before that... I almost forgot! The Frames got a visit by Iris Wheeler, who once again tries to spread her disease. Her recent plan is to offer Josie the position of her receptionist. Josie, naive as she is, was happy to accept, but Sharlene... had a few warning words for Iris before accepting the offer. Iris then welcomed innocent little Josie into her coven and told her, ominously... to not ever change... looking down... and up... like she is seeing herself from decades ago. The Frames signed a deal with the Devil. And last, but not least... Iris continued her quest to Michael's heart, this time visiting him in the hospital. She is like a vulture, circling around her potential pray, waiting for a weak moment. And that moment came when Michael got emotional and started crying... Iris was there to offer a helping... hand. But she wants to offer something else too. Overall - 10/10 ❤️ Top moment - Sharlene warns Iris! ssssssssssssssssssssssssss.mp4

I posted this in the AW topic as well, because the discussion was about MDP and her writing. I think this clip can find a place here. Margaret DePriest as Mrs. Berger in 1967. Episode 4 - Dec 7 1967_edit.mp4

Her tenure at GH is as equally... not my cup of tea. I had tried and tried and TRIED getting in these 1981 episodes... and Lo and behold... I find out who head-wrote them... the same person who made me scared to watch 1987 AW. Melodrama, cringe dialogue. Ugh. And I know who she is btw, I've seen her act in The Doctors... I just remembered this. And she was wonderful as an actress. Let me get a clip of this, I have this episode. This is her playing Mrs. Berger in the December 7th 1967 episode. Just a clip. Episode 4 - Dec 7 1967_edit.mp4

I recently watched some GH 1984 episodes where she was front and center... and I was mesmerized by this lady. She will be remembered by all of us, a true icon in the daytime community. May she rest in peace.

Bold and Beautiful 6524 (1080p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC).mp4 I want THIS Brooke back. We are not gonna get the 1993 OG boardroom Queen back, ever. Can we at least get the toxic mess that used to break up families?🙈 Aren't Finn and Steffy too long married now? 😂

The episodes with Lisa from 1987, written by MDP were horrible. She was acting like a small child... Like... really really infantile. Going around room to room dressed in princess dresses and tiaras... looking sad and writing in a diary. It was shocking to me, because I did not expect to see Another World written so... melodramatically and over the top. Some people love these kinds of things, but I don't. Cue Harding Lemay and Donna S... and by late 1988 and early 1989 Lisa appears she has grown 15 yeas in... a year. What a difference a good writer makes! As you said... the scenes where she is strong... are really good. But as @Contessa Donatella said... "The world fell in love with Anne Heche" and Lisa pales in comparison in pretty much every scene. Anne Heche steals the scene every time. Morally I am on Lisa's side, but... I still look forward to see Victoria - more.

No one's telling you how to live your life But it's a setup until you're fed up It's no good when you're misunderstood But why should I care What the world thinks of me? Won't let a stranger Give me a social disease

Another World - January 10th 1989 Will the princess wake up? So, this episode was about 2 things. 1. We had Vicky in the hospital and pretty much the entire town running around like she and her unborn are in grave danger. We had multiple scenes in which characters realized how... Vicky may be a rotten human being, but we LOVE HER. We'll miss her if she dies. LOL. Even Rachel finally accepted her, or at least appeared to accept her. But we all know Rachel... The witnesses to this whole circus were Felicia and Lisa (who felt guilt about the situation). Donna was attention seeking and trying to make the medical emergency about herself as usual, while Michael was focused on finding more news about his daughter's condition. The only thing Donna could ask was "Will the baby be alright" while in contrast Michael asked "Will Victoria be alright"? Donna was looking at Lisa's direction with the usual contempt. Couple of sentimental music collages later, Jamie realized he loves Vicky. We, the viewers did not believe it, and neither does Jamie. 2. The Pilara/Reuben duo got a chance of redemption sort of. For some reason Cass believes he has a good heart, so why not invite him to Nicole's place and leave him alone with everything. What can go wrong? Well, it seemed that for the time being, Reuben is acting like a changed man. Pilara came to visit Reuben and saw herself in one of Nicole's dresses. They didn't steal anything this time. Overall - 7/10 Best moment - Nicole-the skeptic vs Cass-the good guy... A dynamic so known to me in my personal life. I am the Nicole-skeptic-type... always suspicious of everything. And don't like extending a helping hand to undeserving people. Especially people who lie and steal. sssssssssssssssssss.mp4

Aaand I kinda spoiled it a bit for myself by accidentally seeing that the actress is off the show by next month. For a moment I was thinking they recast, but... I guess not. For some reason I won't miss her. 🙈
