I think it was a medical problem.
Yes, I’m trying to remember what. I definitely reading about it at the time.

Did you ever see Cynthia Watros playing Vicky?
Yeah, I remember. I was annoyed. There were cute Jake/Vicky camping scenes that would have been great if Jensen was there.
I can’t remember why Jensen was out for a few days.

They were comfortable enough with each other that by long habit they negotiated their own contract stuff so there was no agent or manager or lawyer between her & him. The year before she had voluntarily taken a substantial cut in pay because she knew the show needed it & she could afford to do that. This year all she wanted was to have the same number of days. He said no. He wouldn't give a reason why. He wouldn't discuss it or if anything was up. He let her know she wasn't needed anymore. They agreed that they would not discuss 'outside that room' the terms or lack of terms or anything, that they would just announce her departure. And, she didn't say anything -- until he shot his mouth off about how she'd been unreasonable in her demands & he'd had no choice but to let her go. Then, of course, she felt free to speak, although the tale she had to tell was certainly puzzling, to say the least. When the show got the cancellation notice, Noelle Beck who had been playing Lily, offered up front to him that she would leave so Martha could be back to take her to the barn, so to speak, and she made it clear that she thought that would be the only right thing to do. He wouldn't hear of it. Again, no discussion. And, it was during that time period, generally speaking that he was in a Q&A with the SOD Editor for ATWT, Jennifer Lenhart, that he said He didn't need to hear what the fans wanted, that he knew what was best for the show & he'd really rather not get letters & stuff from the fans at all. She even asked him if he was sure he wanted that to be in print, that the way it sounded wouldn't be good, and he wanted it like he had said it. Jenn & Melissa (the P&G Editors) were both flabbergasted. Goutman said not long ago that he never said he didn't want to hear from the fans. That he didn't want to hear from the magazines. But that's not true.
Wow! I had no idea.
Thank you for sharing.

I have a different take on EW. I think she was one of the few people who could deal with what had been handed down by CBS & agreed to by P&G to keep the show on the air and that was, for GL, the new production model, for ATWT it was a change to a terrible way of telling stories. It's true that Goutman was the one who gave her, as well as other people, chances to first direct & later shadow him as a producer. But, in the last days they couldn't have been more different. Ellen was brilliant & inventive while Goutman/ATWT as compared to Goutman/AW turned against the fans memorably saying he didn't want to hear their ideas, that he didn't need to, that he knew what was best for the show. And, Martha was pretty forthcoming the night after the s*it hit the fan in a chat on her website. She was prepared to say nothing as long as he said nothing. Once he spouted a lot of garbage, she was free to talk about who did what, etc.
I give her a ton of breaks, too, but not this one, by calling it an error in judgment. Obviously to me it's more of an indictment than it is to you. We both hold her responsible for the loss of Jerry Ver Dorn.
Oooh, what went down between a Byrne and Goutman??

One Harley and Mallet left his role was greatly reduced but he did still appear after they left so 1994 might be correct. They left September 1993.
I always liked Levy and Mallet as partners.

So why do some characters get full on love scenes and others (Nik and Ava) can’t even kiss?? I’m assuming the male component of that couple isn’t vaccinated in real life. But all the broohaha over CD being anti vax I’d say he’d have to be full vaxxed to do the love scenes he’s done.

I wish there were subtitles.
This person uploaded a couple of other episodes, too, but without knowing the dialogue it’s not as enjoyable to watch.

Ooh, this I’ll like. Early 90’s GL was the best, IMO.

Summer of 1992 is when my interest started to wane. No Alex, recasting Blake, Mindy leaving, the woeful, dull as hell Nick mushmouthing "Melinda" 50000 times a week, tedious Mallet/Harley and Harley losing her spark, etc.
At the time the Frank and Julie story was one of the few that interested me, along with the custody battle for Peter. I enjoyed seeing her scheme. It helped that I hated Lucy and she did too.
Big Harley and Mallet fan but 1993 was rough. All she did was utter “my father” a thousand times and episode and look for him and then found him and everything was about Buzz from that point on.

Bummed Sherry couldn’t make it but it was nice to see the other ladies and Jerry. Kimberley was very emotional. His daughter is lovely. Well done.

Did anyone catch the Black History Month discussion he had with former actors of GL? I'm checking it out now. I like the actors so I decided to give it a view.
Sorry, I forgot to say where--The Locher Room on YouTube.
Not yet. I plan on watching it this weekend.

Bryan Buffinton and Rachel Miner will be back on The Locher Room next week! They have both grown up so nicely and I’m looking forward to hearing them reminisce.

Anybody listening this FAAD?
Ive got to say it’s definitely improving. Is it as polished as it could be? No. But they are finding a groove and each episode gets better and better. Right now there is a cartoonish sounding character named Lucinda who really needs to tone it down bc it’s cringe-worthy.
Some of the actors are better at audio acting than others. Beth Ehlers is still awesome and, perhaps, they should ask her to mentor some of the other actors.I realize audio acting is different than face to face acting but Beth is just as natural as ever. Quite a few still sound like they’re reading from a script. They need to memorize their dialog so it sounds more conversational in tone.
Still hoping for some Beth and Frank Dicopolous scenes to satisfy my GL loving heart.

Fletcher, was like Frank..a character who just was there.. but for some reason they would shoe horn into the show.!
I maintain that Frank’s best female relationship was with his sister, Harley. That’s the role his character worked best in.

I thought Harley and Mallet had tons of chemistry. Harley grew up leading up to their pairing and throughout it.
It’s funny to watch the early 91 episodes where they’re chem-testing Harley and (Rick Hearst’s) A-M, Mallet and Mindy, Bake and Frank, Eleni and Dylan, Eleni and Frank, Eleni and A-M, Harley and Mallet.

Sherry and Beth Ehlers are only a year apart in age and when I see scenes now between the two from the late 80’s/early 90’s, Harley looks her age and Blake looks like a 40 year old business woman.

Interesting that the fans have been asking for MKA to do one. I hope she does one.
Alan has said he’s still in touch with her but she’s not interested in doing a reunion.

That was great! Wish Jean, Beth and Frank had a longer segment and interacted with some other folks but I found it to be such a soothing, trip down memory lane.
And Bryan and Rachel! How great was that? And Melissa Hayden is apparently still in touch with “baby Peter”. I love knowing that.
And Rachel and Peter! The well runs deep.
The affection they all have for each other is heartwarming.
And, of course, Jerry closing it out brought all the feels (pretty sure it brought a tear to Grant’s eye).
I wish it had been longer.
Say what you want about Alan but he was the driving force behind all these reunions and he has brought such joy to so many fans. He got me interested in revisiting GL and YT episodes are my guilty pleasure. Watching it again like it’s the first time has been a much needed distraction during these crappy nine months.

I hated how they though they could just replace Harley with Lucy. They also acted like H&M moved to the other side of the word. Is my memory correct in that they sent a letter to Frank saying they were going to live in Florida permanently? Or was there a phone call? I remember finding it odd (which leads me to think of was a letter) that that’s how they would communicate such huge news. Are we to believe they never come back for their stuff or to say goodbye (offscreen)? It was a dumb excuse to write them off with, IMO.
