Merry Christmas!!! This was a great video you put together - and I've subscribed! ;) Didn't realize that was your YT channel :)

Merry Christmas to all! :)

Beautifully said. Merry Christmas to all! 🎅

This was so nice to see and hear - thanks for posting! Love them.

This is exciting! Thanks :) That 3-month contract turned into almost 4 years! Loved it :) Mitch! LOL - he's a sweet guy. 😜

Go GL!!! Love that they won. Do we know if they beat B&B afterwards? Thanks for posting :) I think Frank is definitely an 8 :P Gosh seeing those characters really make me miss Gilly and Bridget. I didn't get to see Monty as David Grant, but really want to. Wild to me how popular Eleni was back then before the recast. Eleni sticks around for several years but the recast was never given a true storyline sadly.

I've only seen him on AMC, and I thought he was good. Obviously a handsome guy... I think he'll be 100x better than Alegria. Would Jordi be old enough now to be his father, perhaps?

Apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it, but how far in advance does GH tape their episodes?

Amen to this! :)

I loved the Portia confession on the stand! That’s good soap opera and I felt so bad for her and Trina. Loved watching MEK today. He was giving me Tad Martin vibes with his facial expressions when Tracy was talking to Laura. I love the guy! I’m really enjoying this show :)

Wow at B&B dropping so much and GH going up so much. I have to say that GH is really entertaining for me, so happy to see it.

I was so happy! I didn't really like how she left, almost like she was abandoned by the family and left town overnight in shame. It was a shock to see her back, and I'm enjoying it! So my first experience seeing Dusay on screen was when she joined AMC. I was in high school and thought her character was so fun and wacky and different. It made me an instant fan of Dusay. So I have to say I enjoyed her on AMC more, but it's a joy to see her anywhere. Given that Vincent's role on AMC as Dr. David Hayward was more of a grey villain, I preferred his AMC character over Nick on GL. So, their mother/son relationship on AMC was more juicy and interesting overall. I wouldn't say Vanessa was an out and out villain until she was revealed to be Proteus, and then from there she was a villain in her final months. I just got introduced to India for the first time! Recaps coming, but she seems interesting so far. I don't know much about her character's history from the past in the 80s, so it'll be fun to get to know her now.

Just watched yesterday's episode and liked it! Gosh, I feel so bad for Anita. How emotional. And if Sharon is really having an affair with Vernon, and pretending to care for Anita now with cancer, I'll be so upset with her haha. Naomi can kick rocks. What a selfish B. I love how Christmas-y it all is though!

That's how I feel! I put mine up the day after Thanksgiving, or that Saturday.

Ahh interesting! I was a senior in high school during 9/11, and while super impactful regardless, I had never been to NYC by that point (I've been several times since as an adult). But I guess I didn't realize how big/popular and supportive he was during that time. Only Bush comes to mind, as I was in the Midwest at the time. I just did a quick research and it seems like he left office 12/31 that same year, so was only the Mayor during the first ~4 months of 9/11 aftermath. Like I said, I've heard that he was popular and turned NYC around, but his last ~15 years has been so cringe (the Borat movie taking the cake haha). Speaking of Rudy officiating the wedding... I was SO shocked to see Marj Dusay show up as Alex! I didn't think I'd see her again for a long time, as I assumed she didn't come back to GL before starting on AMC. I love having her back, if only for a short period of time. What a great surprise :)

Happy Birthday to the soap GOAT! She still looks fabulous!

So agree with this! I really loved yesterday's episode - more classic soap opera with Christmas feels.

LOL - thankfully that only lasted a single episode. Super random. But Blake/Rick/Ross and their babies had a great, interesting storyline. I guess I can't hate on it honestly - it was interesting and different. Maybe the only issue was that Blake lied HARD about this and then again later, immediately about Ben. If I were Ross, I would have left Blake many times over, if this were real life haha. WHOA. Recaps coming later, but y'all - do we really have Rudy Giuliani marrying Phillip and Harley?? I'm sure this was a score for the show back in the day, for New Yorkers especially, but wow did this not age well. I'm not a New Yorker, so I don't want to take anything away from what I didn't live, but as an outsider now, wow he's an ultimate cringe greaser, sadly.

Hey, as long as it's possible, I'm game! :)

Super random, but I stumbled across this article this morning and immediately thought Blake/Ross/Rick LOL. I know it got retconned (boo), but still possible today! They were ahead of their time back in 1996 :P Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka English | The leading fact-checking websiteBrazilian Woman's Twins with Different Fathers: A Rare bu...A widely shared story claims that a 19-year-old woman from Mineiros, Goiás, Brazil, gave birth to twins who have two different biological fathers. The report has been repeated by international outlets

Very interesting perspectives and thank you! Mine is probably different right now because I don't have the longer-term history with these characters like you both do. I started when Vanessa and Matt got together and were in pure bliss having each other. Part of what I assume made them popular then was that an older woman fell in love with a handsome young man and he loved her back. I bet many women watching the soap were probably putting themselves in Vanesa's shoes and fantasizing about living that life. Perhaps a projection, but even I'm starting to feel that way as I get older LOL. I also like how he was sort of reformed from his male prostitute days, and I LOVED that Vanessa supported him and didn't let Amanda/Dinah get to her with the news of his past. That was a power move. I do love Vanessa usually, and this may be controversial, but she has made some weird/wild decisions that I still can't understand fully. I know it's the writing, but letting her family think she was dead was wild to me (even though exciting for TV), and then letting Peter move away like it was no big deal (although I do understand that she just wants him safe and happy in the end). I do hate that the writers took out Bridget and Peter when Hart was still in town and Vanessa just came back to SF from almost dying. So many lost opportunities. Part of me wonders if they could have used Matt instead of Ben. Pair him up with Blake in some way which brings Vanessa and Ross closer as they deal with their spouses cheating on them? But you're all right - with Amanda gone, they haven't really given Matt anyone to connect with except Josh, and Vanessa/Dinah of course. I don't think Matt and Beth have a ton of chemistry right now, but it makes me wonder who else he would have chemistry with, like with perhaps Blake. I love the idea of a new powerful businessman coming in and getting with Vanessa. That could have also been fun to watch her struggle with having feelings for him, yet loving her younger blue-collar husband too. In the end, I'm just happy Matt didn't give into Dinah in her first year, as hard as she tried. I also love how he sees through her BS. That's one thing I don't love about Vanessa - she always comes back to Dinah and turns a blind eye. I get being her mother, but I still wish she would put her in her place more and stand firm that he behavior is ridiculous and unacceptable with her.

I just caught up on Friday's show - and how heartbreaking for Anita! I think Tunie will hit it out of the park with this storyline, assuming they write it well and give it enough attention. I'm starting to really wonder if they're going there with Vernon/Sharon (God I hope not)... but that would be a way to bring Vernon back to Anita, if so. Interesting that Shanice and Ted are spending Christmas Eve together, I guess they're really testing that out too.

So wait, if it takes that long... why didn't you like him in the beginning... what about their pairing did you hate between 94-98 (before the Beth thing)? If Billy wasn't going to come back full-time, who did you want Van with during this timeframe, or what did you want to see Van do instead of get with Matt? BTW, I haven't seen Billy since the Cassie and then later early clone storyline... I wonder what was going on then and why Clarke wasn't coming back for a bit. I haven't seen 93-94 YET (as you know), but I really was a fan of Josh and Annie in the very beginning of 95 before Annie turned addict and then crazy. She was a sweet young heroine of sorts and he was a handsome man next door. For someone who didn't know Josh/Reva outside of clips and basic GL knowledge, I really thought Josh/Annie were something special. Then ghost Reva came and I was like oh, ok, here we go...

I agree, I think he's the best. And then Clifton Davis just warms my heart.
