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.

The Marah’s reunion was enjoyable. It’s always nice to see child actors successfully transition to the real world and Ashely Peldon certainly has done that. Good for her! She was so young I doubt she remembers much but I would have liked for hear more from her about her experiences. Laura Bell Bundy seemed to dominate the conversation. He reaction to finding out Wes Ramsey and Laura Wright are dating was very funny, however. I would have liked to hear more from Kimberly, too (who knew she was divorced?? But how nice that Robert Newman attended her wedding). Cute that Bryan Buffinton sent the picture of him and Ashely from 30 years ago in. Sweet that he was watching at all. All in all this was a pleasant reunion. I’m glad we got to see KZ and RN’s reactions to seeing the girls for the first time. I nudged Alan on Twitter to try to get Rachel Miner on one of these and I know they’ve been in touch so hopefully she’ll be on soon, too.

I thought Alan could only do 6 guests at a time? I didn’t realize KZ and RN would be there at first glance until I swiped. I’m only familiar with Ashley and Kimberly as Marah and would love to see their (KZ and RN) initial reaction to seeing them as grown women but Alan clearly has everyone see each other “backstage” before going live, unfortunately. Still I am looking forward to this one. ETA his Instagram description doesn’t mention Marty West at all. Just the girls. I wonder which one is correct.

Hi, I am new here, too. It was actually Alan Locher who got me interested in watching old episodes of GL when I saw he had Frank Dicopolous on with the 2000’s crew. Lo and behold I discovered YouTube had full episodes of the 90’s. I am just about to finish the Harley and Mallet era (93) on YouTube and it has been so much fun revisiting these characters and this show especially during the COVID lockdown. I was a teenager in 93 so rewatching my favorite couple (Harley and Mallet) with adult eyes has been great. I’d say I love them just as much nearly 30 years later as I did back then. I also cannot help but notice how much better soaps were back then. The writing, the investment, the character development, the music, the acting (date I say?). Soaps today are a shadow of GL from the early 90’s. I am appreciative of Alan and anyone else who is letting us catch up with the actors any time but especially during these times. I’m stalling the end of the Harley Mallet era (bc I don’t want it to end as I’ve forgotten so much) but they’re about to get married and after that I think I’ll go back to the 1990 playlist and start from there this time. Always up to discuss this era!

He interviewed Mark Derwin a few weeks back, too. I like this one-on-one format better than the 5-person interviews (neither polished interviewers, however). Mark shares some good stories and basically carried the interview. I’m happy to see any of the actors that we have gotten to see the past few months so no complaints here! https://youtu.be/AoqR0D78xPY He’s managed to get a few other GL stats recently, too.
