Darn

Thanks @Khan! I'm sure I've told this story before but I didn't even know other soaps than the ones on ABC existed until 1999 and GL was the first. I think my first episode was the one where Phillip and Beth were trapped on the mountain after the plane crash. Was that in San Cristobel? Actually where WAS San Cristobel? The caribbean? I remember Reva drowning for an entire episode. It was weird as hell. Anyway, my first impressions of the show was that everyone was blonde and it looked cheap. That never really changed.

Does anyone know the first episode with Peapack? What was that transition like? Was a Friday show in the studio and then Monday suddenly everyone is in the woods?

Such a gross promo. "The show you didn't think we'd dare do!". Yeah, rape a lesbian. It's the show no one WANTED you to do. Question, how long did Erica have Maddie for?

I guess she dated Adrian and worked at SOS. Now I'm reminded of how ugly that set was. How'd they put that Mardi Gras massacre on TV?

I loved this promo campaign. (I REMEMBER Tina but I can't remember anything ABOUT her) And there's one in the background of this David Canary interview that I wish I could find because it looks like Adam is wearing an eyepatch (!).

I love this! I never accepted Bree Williamson and what they did to Jessica. It’s shocking how lazy the writing became. Jessica disassociated how many times in the last decade?

Where was this? Why was this? Where’s Erika?!!

His in particular or all of them? I’m not Jamaican but I’m around the accent a lot and I thought his and Bushmaster’s were good. Anansi’s too. His wife not so much.

Meghann Fahy (Hannah, OLTL) is one of the leads on Freeform’s The Bold Type (its fantastic, watch it!) and she is quite good. Very charismatic. She’s also apparently dating Billy Magnussen (Casey, ATWT). Sean Ringgold (Shaun, OLTL) is again on this season of Luke Cage with a much more sizeable role an what looks like an even bigger part for next season. This next actor is also on this season of Luke Cage and I can’t believe I even spotted him considering I didn’t watch Guiding Light during any of his tenure but Kevin Mambo (Marcus) is one of the antagonists this season. He’s very good and his Jamaican accent is top notch. It’s funny that GL had two very successful black actors in the mid-90s in the form of Marcus and David Grant and squandered both. We see this repeated with the treatment of Mishael Morgan (and every other black actor on daytime) 20 years later.

Meghan Markle (nurse #3, GH) just married Prince Harry. And Abigail Spencer (Becca, AMC) was one of her guests.

Out of all of that horribleness the part that got me was him filing for bankruptcy at age 22. What’s that about? He’s cute but not that cute, how do people fall for this stuff?

The OLTL cast always seemed closer than other casts. It’s nice that all seem to still get along.

Maybe but I saw a clip Monday of Chadwick as Reggie in a scene with David. http://soapcentral.com/amc/whoswho/reggie.php

I learned this week that Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman both played Reggie on All My Children. They’re currently starring as rivals in (the exquisite and essential) Black Panther. Yet another example of how soap operas have squandered black talent.

It makes you wonder why she even wants to be on the show. She doesn't need it, they don't care about Laura and it's absolute garbage. But it's something to do I guess?

When I saw their names I was worried this was about a divorce. I bet those ST residuals and convention fees are bringing in the bank. Along with Genie's Hallmark movies. Because you know GH doesn't pay sh!t.

She probably had work. And I KNEW her name only had one E...goddammit.

Debbie Morgan is in Marvel's The Defenders.

The cast of Passions is reuniting this weekend for a fan event. Don Swaby is alive, y'all. Annie Parisse is on Netflix's new series Friebds from College.

He looks younger than her because he's dressed like it's 1998 and he's still 19.

Kyle Lowder (the superior Brady, DAYS) is in a commercial for...something. All I know is that he looks ridiculous, he's wearing a mullet and riding a jet ski.

Are you...in the cast?

I'd watch that.

All of these men are movie stars...and old as hell. I didn't see this posted: http://deadline.com/2017/02/dynasty-cw-reboot-cast-robert-christopher-riley-valor-charlie-barnett-1201970567/ And this is a better picture of the guy (allegedly) playing Steven. He's certainly not ugly. But I am surprised they didn't go with someone younger and hunkier looking. The show has (at the moment) has exactly one straight white male lead. Pretty interesting.

Preston's American accent is getting worse somehow? Why is Michelle always wearing that overcoat? It's almost like they want to make the actress come across as unattractive. Not that she is...she just seems like the "before" in a makeover show. And she is so cold that I can't imagine her having sex or any teenage boy wanting to have sex with her. Much less actively pursuing her. I like the actress playing Bex a lot. Why did they speed this story up so much? It would at least be more interesting if Michelle and Preston were having an active affair while he was dating Bex but as it is they only made it official that day.
