How about Veleka Gray (LOL, ATWT) as a recast Hillary? She'd also work as a Hope or Trish recast. With Hillary on canvas you can just plop in a new doctor to pair her with.

Refresh my memory, when Josh and Reva "married" themselves in 2002, did they have an official for them to sign documents after the ceremony or was it only a symbolic wedding?

Another what if scenario... say Marland didn't pass and P&G did one of their shuffles which sends Marland to Another World circa 96. I can't imagine Marland working with JFP. Would he rebuild the Frames or Matthews or bring in his own family like Reardons or Snyders?

I'm surprised we kept this thread as active as we did. I think we finally ran out of topics. 😆

Hopefully KK can surprise us, like Rory Gibson did after his lackluster character on Y&R. So much depends on the writing.

Wrong thread

The problem was that both Frank and Rick were similar in that they were sweet, somewhat dependable guys. Maybe they should've had a stronger actor in the role of Rick, but on the flip side GA and ROL had such great chemistry together.

I think having cop characters mixes things up, a break from all the whole collar business folks. Otherwise you have b&b.. no cops, medical doctors (until recently with Finn) or lawyers. I guess Carter is technically a lawyer but that show doesn't do crime stories).

I always thought the parallels between GL and AW were interesting. Both shows were basically gutted of vets in the early 80s and kinda staggered along for two decades, constantly failing. AW was way worse at this than GL. It's a wonder that Margaret dePriest didn't have a hw stint at GL.

The one good thing about Sunset Beach was that the Pittsburgh station aired it at 1, bumping Days to 3pm where it aired for two decades. We got onto Days after GL went to the morning and my dad would tune in early for Judge Judy. Personally, Days had little to no appeal to me but I got hooked in.

Days probably would've done better at 3pm than Santa Barbara. It was the closest in tone to GH and unlike SB had an established viewer base.

NBC's 84 comeback did not extend to daytime? What shows (game shows, Soaps) would you overhaul or can? What new shows if any would you add to daytime?

*Bea, not beautiful. I think her and Henry should've been foster parents to a black teenager. Speaking of minorities they should've invested more in IQ from the Galahads. That Hispanic doctor (Louie?) with the ball cap seemed to appear a lot, maybe build family around him. Speaking of Cedars in '85/86, I would've kept Reva as a candy striper (or whatever) at Cedars to "ground" her slightly.
