Peter Bergman, Lauralee Bell... I’m sure there are others I’ve forgotten too.

Laura was doing what?? Why though???

Went down a rabbit hole of watching some late 2000s and early 2010s GH on Youtube last night, and I have a random question... Did Olivia and Brenda ever share scenes together during 2010-11? I know Olivia would have been indirectly involved because of Dante and Brenda’s “child”, but I didn’t seem to find anything of them interacting directly together.

Geeez how much gel did Steve Burton have in his hair????

Olivia on the warpath against Alexis...

I will say after just having seen a short preview for next week’s DAYS, Jaime Lyn Bauer and Cady McClain pass as mother and daughter much more than JLB and Missy Reeves ever did. I’m looking forward to seeing them interact more next week.

The “Tad & Jenny” reunion...

Even though it was somewhat tamer compared to the above, I would also say Enid Nelson for the way she actively conspired with Liza Colby to keep Greg and Jenny apart back then...

It’d be interesting to see what storylines were occurring on the soaps at that time in 1991. Also highlights just what a hole AMCs cancellation left on the soap landscape. By all rights it should still be on air with the other four remaining.

Speaking of vaccines, on Tuesday I actually became part of the Phase 3 trials here in the UK for the Janssen vaccine. Officially I don’t know whether I received the vaccine or a placebo, but judging from the way my body reacted within 24 hours of the jab, I suspect I got the real deal. The whole study is meant to last up to 2 years and 3 months.

It’s official...

This is really cool. I’ve come to enjoy this Twitter account. Three major characters debuted on this day back in 1982...

I work in the UK Civil Service over here and we are under so much pressure from all sides due to Brexit and the pandemic. In fact, the government department that I work for is buckling under the strain so badly that it’s going to take years to fully recover from the damage that’s been caused.

I was today years old when I learned that these two were *married* at one point! 😳

Oh I’d say the UK has come pretty close. Our government here has been reactive the whole time, and usually does not take the appropriate emergency measures until it’s too late. Add the Brexit chaos on top of that, and you can visualise the complete s**tshow we’re in right now.

I’ve said this before on these forums... but definitely bring Alex Donnelly’s Diane back (I’m sure they can retcon her death somehow). She has chemistry and history with both Jack and Victor, bitchy rivalries with both Nikki and Phyllis, and it would more importantly give Kyle an actual meaty storyline!

Funnily enough, Eileen Davidson resumed playing Ashley at the tail end of that triangle. In fact, there used to be a juicy scene from 2000 floating around on YouTube where ED’s Ashley confronts Heather Tom’s Victoria at the GCAC, culminating in an almighty slap from the former.
