And, of course, every time he squared off with Kin/Scott was worth watching.

Yes. His all-time best screen partners were Genie and Jackie Z.

When did he really start phoning it in? He was still OK in the late 90s. I'd say around 2000.

To think that he's won the most Daytime Emmys in the Lead Actor category...🙄

I had forgotten about the mock trial as well. Yeeesh. That era of GH simply does not hold up.

Monica: This is my house, Edward!! Alan: It's only your house because I bought it for you!! I still feel sad that we will never hear those words again from Stuart and Leslie. ❤❤❤❤❤

Lydia!!! I had almost completely forgotten about her until now. She had short dark hair. Wasn't Stefan trying to arrange a marriage between her and Nikolas in an attempt to keep him away from Emily? I can see her in my mind's eye. Actually, I wouldn't have minded Lydia sticking around. I think she could have been effectively used on the canvas.

This was 2001, right? Didn't they have to do some rewrites due to 9/11?

Exactly. Alan needs to learn that we are not watching the shows to see him. We want to see the actors and actresses, and we want THEM to dictate the conversation.

The best episodes of his show are when his guests start reminiscing with each other and end up almost ignoring him. That's not an insult to Alan, but the guests sometimes just kind of do the heavy lifting for him. It feels almost organic. Today, I listened to the Mart Hulswit/Fran Myers episode. They were both terrific and I was especially charmed by Mart. His voice was so gentle yet commanding. I could have listened to him forever. I wanted to shush Alan every time he interrupted Mart and Fran.

Of course, he's not a journalist but it still wouldn't hurt him to do more research so he can ask decent questions. That way, there wouldn't be awkward pauses and inane comments from him. I did laugh when he asked one actress (I don't remember who the actress was) his go-to question of "do you remember your first day?" She simply said "yes" and left it at that. It was hilarious. 🤣😂

@titan1978, your list of characters made me think of how we were chatting earlier about Nikolas and his love interests. No way could I see Tyler with either Gia.

Yes, and preferably commercial free!! 😊

I don't think so.

Even worse than that silly doll story with Felicia and her girls in 1997? 😂

I think Jed mentioned it in his memoir.

It was nice to see DvdB back in the show's final months in a different role. To see her get with Seneca as the show was ending was a nice way to bring it all full circle.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoa! I missed that. Yikes!

Exactly! You'd think he would have learned better by now. 🙄

Their real weak spot were the monologues and dialogue. Kelly's monologue in Joe's memory about seeing his muscles moving and how his body responds to her touch had me 🤮. It's a good thing it was a voice-over because I'm sure Robin Wright couldn't keep a straight face while saying it! 😂

Well, he really wasn't wrong about the scripts at that point in time. 😂

He's not even a particularly good interviewer, either. He interrupts, talks over people and doesn't do his homework (i.e. correctly pronouncing someone's name!). The best Locher Room episodes are when the guests get on a roll and with each other so the less Alan gets to speak, the better. How many times does a guest finish a funny or touching anecdote and his only response is, "that's crazy"? 🙄 Let's just say I only watch for the guests.

I think it came between AW and SB that was going to get cancelled then, and of course it was SB that got axed.
