Yeah, but since Frons eventually took over Soapnet, it's probably for the best that a RH continuation didn't happen. He surely would have desecrated it.

Thank you both for your thoughtful responses. YRBB, I look forward to hearing more from you as you go through S2.

What were your own personal favorite hangouts in Pine Valley?

Does anyone think Ellen Wheeler could have worked better at the helm of a different soap? Obviously GL was not a happy environment in its past decade or so.

I don't think it ever went past much other than talk.

How long did Marty West last on GL?

She was larger than life!!! I also remember her guest spot on L&O in 1992 as a defense attorney who butts heads with Michael Moriarty's EADA Ben Stone. That was the same episode where Jerry Orbach made his debut as Det. Lennie Briscoe. Those were the days, my friends!!!

Thank you, Steve.

Thank you, robbwolff. I imagine a reboot would have gone over like a lead balloon.

Yup, and they all put on totally innocent faces. LOL

In the show's final year, who did you think were the show's strongest performers? What did you think were the strongest stories? They didn't have a lot of time to wrap things up, did they? Wasn't the cancellation notice from CBS handed down to them just weeks before they filmed the last episode?

How long did The Goal Post restaurant last?

Sweet!!!

Thank you for the TLW info, YRfan23!!

Does anyone know why Billy Moses didn't stay for FC's entire run? Was it his choice to leave or was he let go?

Sharon Gabet has posted many of her own BTS photos of her time on EON on her FB page. They are all delightful, especially one where she and several of the show's males are all lounging around on one bed during a break. (Larkin Malloy is seated at her left holding up an issue of Playgirl that belonged to Sharon. LOL!!)

I think it was 1990 or so. Opal somehow got locked inside the Martin attic and found a skeleton wearing a cap with the name "Bobby" stitched onto the front, and a pair of skis was right next to the skeleton. I think it was just done as an in-joke to longtime AMC viewers, and to have fun with the urban legend of Bobby Martin.

Thanks for answering. They found a skeleton, but on soaps, that doesn't mean you're dead!!! *maniacal laughter*

The interview with Cristina Raines was very interesting and spanned many different appearances. I never knew that she and Morgan Fairchild's mutual onscreen dislike spilled over offscreen as well, or that she dated Mark Harmon for several years. I guess one really does learn something new every day!!

How long was the Pine Cone around?

Thanks for sharing that interview! What a great and detailed piece.

Too bad they didn't use the final episode to finally address the fate of Bobby Martin, the soaps' answer to Chuck Cunningham and Judy Winslow. LOL

Ellen Wheeler lasted 5 years at the helm of GL, am I correct? (I wasn't a GL viewer then, have since watched some of it on YT.) Hard to believe that Goutman lasted over a decade at ATWT.

Cool! I think it would be fun if she popped up on The Haves and Have Nots opposite her OLTL sister, Tika Sumpter.

It would be great to see Tonya back on Y&R, but wasn't it her choice to leave?
