Random question: After Harley returned in 1997, did she and Marah ever share any scenes together from then until the end of the show? I mostly stopped watching in 93 but have been watching episodes on YouTube and started wondering if, after the tight bond they shared (under Ashley Peldon’s tenure), if it was every touched upon again.

I agree. I’m so happy he is doing these that I can overlook the not-so-great interview skills. I was watching an episode from 1992 last night and counting how many actors from then he has brought on to his reunions and it was practically everyone who is still alive. I think it’s so great and thanks to him, I’m reinvested in a soap I watched 30 years ago. I do wish he’d let them drive the conversation though (and come up with some new questions).

I agree. The actors really need to be up for the task at hand (a task they probably are unaware they need to be ready for to that degree lol). Sometimes I watch nervously half expecting the guest to lose it on him. I want to give SP some tips and tricks about these virtual interviews. Does he not have the ability to share his screen? Why with the phone holding to show a clip? Do a sound check before going live with the guest. Check you lighting and angles. Basic things I know I’ve learned over the last 6 months lol. Nonethless, I’m glad he is somehow scoring these interviews.

Yes! I don’t know of your other vaults since I don’t watch those showed but yes that what we need - a classic GL vault. Please do it. I used to have stuff on tape but I moved (downsized) not too long ago and the old VHS tapes were a casualty of that. Also, I hadn’t had an desire to revisit my former love of GL until the Locher Room reunions and the lockdown. Now I’m “obsessed” with finding full episodes. Cobbling episodes together here and there on YouTube has become a challenge without Bandstandmike’s orderly videos.

The Coopers without a Harley was an odd time to focus on the Coopers. Lucy was a poor replacement for Harley. Frank, Harley and Nadine were a great trio (I adored Frank and Harely’s relationship especially in the late 80’s/early 90’s) but with the addition of Buzz and the loss of Harley I just didn’t care anymore.

On the Locher Room today with the AW people, Alice Barrett says Frankie was killed off to make room in the budget for Robert Kelker Kelly’s return. Could the same thing have happened here? The only one I can think of is Justin Deas that they would need the money for. He came on right about the time Maureen was killed off. Wasn’t JFP executive producer there at the time, too. Just a thought.

Great interview. Interesting that at the beginning Alan had to ask fans to be nice in the comments. I don’t think any fans would have anything bad to say about any on the ladies. It was the leadership and the storyline most took issue with. So nice to see Rachel after all these years . Pretty sh$tty that she found out she was being replaced in a magazine. It never made sense to me since they kept Bryan Buffinton. They had a gold mine with those two kids/actors and much like losing Maureen, replacing Rachel took me out of the story. I no longer cafes about Michelle at that point. Too bad Maeve lost her connection. As always I appreciate Alan’s efforts and the actors agreeing to appear!

I watched this, too, and found Bryan to be a great interviewee. He’s well spoken and remembers so much and knows how to keep the conversation flowing even when the interviewer can’t. I am also wondering how he’s getting these guests but however it is, I am happy to watch! I’ve watched the Mark Derwin, Grant Aleksander and Bryan interviews so far and they have compensated for his greenness. Let’s see who he nabs next! Much like Alan there’s always a technical problems in his interviews and it gets so awkward lol. The actors all handle it well though.
