Don't hate this!

Random selection, but I remember loving this intro as a kid! I probably didn't understand half of what was happening in the show itself, but I just remember always looking forward to seeing this intro. China Beach, with Diana and the Supremes!

LOL - would have loved to see this, but you're right, never would have happened back then. Great idea though. So I've met Rusty twice now - once for Sarah's death and again when helping Reva figure out if Annie is really her sister or not. Looking good in both

Very sad! I'd pay too, I just wish we could get the word out somehow to those that would listen and have that power.

That was a pretty delicious scene, I enjoyed it too. Bulge! 👀 Hahaha...

Haha yes, that too! Which was especially helpful for GL because everyone seems to have hooked up/been engaged to or married on this show When I first started watching GL, I was amazed at how many women on the show Alan-Michael had been with.

It hasn't been working for me in at least a month I keep getting the 404 Not Found error. Hopefully they've got everything backed up. It was a helpful site for me to see how people are related and when they came/left.

Haha thats a running gag here, because it’s so obvious. The actress playing Samantha is like 30 in real life haha. My guess is they couldn’t find the right talent for that age, but who knows. The ages of the entire Dupree family seems off to me. I can’t imagine Nicole being a grandma to teenagers like that.

LOL - touche. Maybe he's safe now since he's around our favorite Shanice

No problem... and yes, genuinely heartbreaking

I just got to the end credits of the new actor's first episode (May 1) and he's listed as a contract player. I don't know if we should think that means he was planned to be there a long time or they just didn't want to leave "Roger Thorpe" out of the credits.

Ugh I saw his final episode - April 23. The whole situation is so sad. At least his last scene was with Holly, and as he walked out the door, you could almost tell Holly was emotional in her face as she gave a half smile/sad eyes gaze as he left. Then May 1, Roger is back as the new actor Dennis Parlato in a scene with Blake. He reminds me of an 80/90s AMC Adam Chandler (David Canary) on appearance/stature haha. With this big Spaulding party that Amanda/Roger are hosting and everyone is getting ready for... I wonder if they just didn't think Zaslow was up to it? When they announced the new actor, they said "Today, the role..." - so remind me, was it open for Zas to come back potentially, or did they make the decision permanently from the beginning?

This was great, thanks for sharing! I love her.

Hahaha all good - just surprised

😲

😲 I almost always agree with everything you say (you're a smart guy btw!), but not one this one haha Did you see the fallout of the 'Ted is the father' story? She was so good and showed quite a bit of range as she went through her emotions. She's definitely the best younger actor on the show, IMO.

Haha I know... well, this is a good time to ask now that the Blake Marler YT channel is down. Where could I find all the episodes from that year? The Vault I'm using right now only has a handful of episodes per month that year Even 90-92 is pretty scarce.

I don't know, a lot seems to happen in 1994 that I want to go see. Both Matt and Annie arrive, so I'd love to be able to see them from the beginning. I think Peter's custody battle and Bridget/Dylan happens. Jenna leaves, which would help me better appreciate her as I watch this story unfold in '97. Alan comes back. I'd love to see more of the original Eleni, and the character actually have a storyline. When I started my watch in Feb 95, Eleni was in Greece and Frank had to save her - it was exciting. Then, they're back in Springfield and we have a new actress playing Eleni and she's background with no story for at least over 2 years now. Oh and then I think Blake/Ross get married in 1994 from what I've read, so would love to see that beginning. Gosh, I may just find a good stopping point in 1997 and hurry up and watch 1994. I know some people think this era is awful, but I love 90s soap opera and it's leagues better than anything I've see from 2010-current day.

LOL, you can't even type his name out. I know you hate Matt, but gosh, I really like him. Being so handsome helps too I'm sure he'll eventually piss me off later, but so far, in two years, he hasn't. That take on Vanessa makes sense. I wish I knew Maureen. I guess I'll see how this plays out, but Vanessa was pretty protective over Peter in 1995 when Roger/Dinah were together, Hart came back, and Vanessa took Peter to Europe with her for a month so Roger or the people after Dinah wouldn't kidnap him. I guess the only flaw in your take is that Vanessa hasn't been around for the last 8 months to see Bridget actually be responsible enough to where Vanessa wouldn't have to worry anymore. I guess I'll see if Vanessa makes it back to Springfield before Bridget/Peter leave.

I can't believe Vanessa would act that way, although she did fake her death and let her whole family grieve, which I'm still very much side-eyeing Vanessa for. I love Vanessa generally, and I'm curious to see how she reacts to Peter being gone (my assumption) when she finally returns to Springfield. Just seems lazy and inappropriate of her to not be interested in being Peter's mother after all this time she was so interested.

Ahh - I started my watch in Feb 1995, so I missed 1994. I've been tempted to go back, but I just haven't found a spot in my watch yet where I feel like I can stop it because of disinterest (surprisingly 1996 didn't push me there). I do remember Frank ending his PI practice to join the police academy in 1995 and there was a throwaway moment where he told Blake and it didn't seem to be a big deal haha. I was always curious about that. Glad they acknowledged Hamp's birthday. I don't know if the actor was not interested in being used more or what was going on behind the scenes, but I always thought there was a missed opportunity for Hamp/Marcus to do more with their sax playing and mentorship.

Being a Holly/Roger fan, which only started from early 1995, I think it came down to Roger orchestrating his car crash, faking his death, and then "miraciously surviving". She saw through his BS, and she was just starting out with Fletcher full-time, so she built a wall up. It didn't help that when McTavish took over, she only gave Holly like 20 episodes in a ~1.5 year time period. She clearly had zero interest in Holly and/or Fletcher and wanted to focus on Roger/Dinah/Hart instead. Lost opportunties.

He was such a handsome guy back then, and the scruff is even better. The title of it says 1998, which is surprising because in the interview he gave in more recent times, he said he wanted to quit the industry and find God (something to that effect), so I'm surprised only 2 years later from leaving GL, he got back in front of the camera. He could have kept Brent going in 1996 and made GL so much better that year!

Oh yes!!!

We haven't seen Jan or Mona in forever. I'm putting that out there in hopes they pop up next week, because that's usually what happens with this show haha.
