It's silly to have an "off-screen" Phillip being an elusive boogey-man. It's bad storytelling. Let other players share the spotlight, but that story was weak. They never should've revealed Phillip was alive until they were able to show him on-screen- it was so stupid. Show, don't tell.

You remember the speculation that Stuart Damon was being considered as an Ed Bauer recast? I would've liked to see Mart return in the role as that tied into GL's past. Absolutely. If they couldn't have gotten GA back, they should've made a call to John Bolger.

Nina is obviously only reporting the crime because she has a personal "agenda," that's the soapy angle.

Kelly and Joe, Santa Barbara

Scott Holroyd was so wooden as Paul, RH breathed life into the role with the appropriate scene-chewing and spirit that an offspring of Steinbeck and babs should have.

Who's CSM again? Cotlin Scott?

Yes, Nola sold them Company after the final time that Meals and Wheels burned down.

Just curious, do you hate the guiding light? That was my favorite of all time, you keep dissing it repeatedly. Why not knock some other show? You keep rubbing it in that GL never was number one, over and over again to knock it to us that GL was NEVER popular and its not cool. Plus Y&R was always the boring soap, had such a great time slot tho, my dad would watch it at dinner time. Why abc never moved amc there in the 80s to plug up 12:30, i'll never know.

IIRC it was because of the Patty storyline that they chose Paul over Brad.

Chris Hughes (bob & kim's son). They finally got him right with Daniel Cosgrove but by then the show was on borrowed time.

AW/ATWT/GL Cass and Felicia. At first i was thinking that they would be perfect for GL as AW and GL seemed like the most similar shows to each other in tone and feel. Of course Cass DID crossover to both ATWT and GL but he was a much more mature character opposed to hos cross-dressing, hiding from mobsters hijinks from the 80s. I couldn't see Felicia Gallant and Reva existing comfortably on the same show. But with ATWT and AW, Felicia and Lisa were both restautant operators. GH/GL. I could see gh's felicia and frisco on gl and gl's beth and lujack on gh. Felicia and frisco fitting into the shenanigan adventure scene that gl somewhat neglected after quint/nola. Beth/lujack fitting into young love on the run and supercouple territory that gh excelled at for a long time. OLTL/GL On a similar note, OLTL'S Tina and Cord would've been a perfect fit for GL. DAYS/ATWT Victor Kiriakis. ATWT could've used a strong (shady) rival to Lucinda in the business world.

Guiding Light. The double whammy of Richard/Cassie and Danny/Michelle. Also remember that the Island stuff and the mob stuff was taking over simultaneously. I still remember the forum wars beyween RASSIE/MANNY fans against the "old-timers." Plus those two couples added on top of Josh/Reva. In 2002 Cullitom/McTaggart were celebrated by us longtime fans for ending both couples, and making GL start to feel like GL again. Unfortunately, Conboy/Weston would cave in to both fanbases in 2003.

AMC RPG *gus gl* HE *harley gl* and gl tammy actress? I think they overlapped on gl but fiona hutchinson/dennis parlato from oltl. Gabrielle/jenna and Michael/Roger Anyone mention vincent izziary/judy evans as beth/lujack on gl and later on days as adrienne/deimos also wasn't gina tognoni (dinah) on oltl when zimmer and ver dorn were also on? Judi evans/john bolger were beth/phillip on gl and also on another world at the same time.

Karen Witter. I liked her Tina Lord almost as much as Andrea Evans. Most a yone would've been better than Mrs Ron Moss.

GH Amy Vining. They should've gave her a couple of plots instead of just being a "talk to." Y/R The oft mentioned but never seen mrs martinez could've been used tp introduce a hispanic family. Utilized in a similar was as Mamie was back in the day.

Y/R Nick/Sharon. They've been apart way too long. Personally I think the character of Nick has run its course and should leave town for a bit. That won't happen, but it should.

Vicki: Clint Y&R Kevin: Jana

All soaps: F. absolute no buzz and all are on life support. They all need a real adrenaline boost, espescially the sleep y/r.

GL. For the longest time I shopped Michael and bill but Rylan & Cosgrove changed my mind. Bill and lizzie had IT and was one of the bright spots during the final years. The last Michelle was so bland, they had a recast liked up right before the cancellation announcement. Ross and Blake Rick and Abby Phillip and Beth Harley and Gus Quint and Nola AW.
