I had seen the spoiler for this and it played out how i expected it; ridiculous and unnecessary. I thought they were working on pairing Aadi up with Tracy's daughter. 

I’d rather see him with Courtney again tbh 

Oh no they didn’t?? Nina and Aadi kissed.. no way are they going for them? Ugh

Surprised Scorpio wasn't there. 

Same.. I was surprised about it the minute the picture with the attending people got out.. I mean Scorpio has appeared so randomly over the years yet he can‘t be bothered with Bobbie‘s funeral and stuff? Ok

I have continued my 2016- August rewatch and I’m shocked how good 2016 was overall 

So much screen time for Liz, Laura etc. OFC you can tell who the writers favorites are but it was really more balanced.

I find myself enjoying the Morgan-Bipolar story much more this time around compared to when I first watched. He made me really feel for him

bur that serial killer storyline the had going was A! Like seriously. I enjoyed it for a bit when Finn was a suspect but otherwise they didn’t even tried with this one.

And the way they revealed to the audience who it was (Paul Hornsby) was the most random revelation I’ve ever seen on a soap opera. Like seriously they didn’t even tried with that one and it felt like they just wanted to get it over with lol

I enjoyed both Nick’s tbh. The replacement after Tyler left (Nick Stabile) wasn’t bad. I wish they would’ve hired him back after it was clear Tyler won’t be back. 
 

Hayden vs Liz was really amazing and it was great to see Becky so much on screen during 2016. her love story was Franco was handled so well and make me miss Franco even more tbh. 
I don’t get what it is with GH‘s writers. They had a sister for Liz back in the day (Sarah.. Who barely got mentioned and was never brought back) and turned Liz enemie Hayden into her half-sister.. Which was great after they were hating each other for nearly a year. BUT the. Not even a few months later they let go of Budig and the role of Hayden.. WHY? This doesn’t make any sense why we had to bother with Hayden being Liz sister twist when they didn’t even cared for her in a long run. I mean she had a great feud and a romantic pairing with Finn yet the writers didn’t gave a damn. Why do they hate Liz and the Webber’s side so much. Just like with the Hardy’s.  Liz is the granddaughter of Steve yet they don’t do anything with the remaining Hardy’s who are alive. 
 

and we have Genie-Laura front burner! I know people seem not fond of Laura and Kevin and find them boring. BUT I love them. I mean LnL was Laura‘s youth and exiting adventurous and unstable life while with Kevin she has finally settled down. She has now a stable and built herself a real home which she could never had with Luke if we are honest. People complain that we don’t have couples like Steve-Audrey or Tom-Alice from Days and I think we finally could have that with Laura-Kevin. They do have chemistry. It’s not the LnL or FnF kinda chemistry but the more mature respectable kinda chemistry and I am enjoying them so much. 
 

I love how they took their time with Franco-Liz and Kevin-Laura pairings in 2016. god I love it

Jeff Webber‘s daughters besides Liz

Thank you so much for sharing the episodes, they are in amazing quality so even though I don’t speak German it’s amazing to see the show in its prime. 

You’re welcome.. I just had to share them coz I really love this show and Atwt/Gh.. I uploaded GH 1980’s but stopped because people were so rude coz I couldn’t upload every day. I mean I uploaded like 30 episodes a week and it wasn’t enough and that killed the mood.

but when I got my hands on OLTL I thought that there are some that would them enjoy as much as I do. I have like all books, even bought a few scripts and have many SOD etc. and never thought I would see the early Asa-Sam stuff. And the Mario-Marco storyline I’ve just read about mostly. I am going to continue the rest of what I have. There are more coming. 
 

But I bought them mostly because of Andrea Evans!

Kim Matula (Former Hope from Bold and the beautiful) would be a great Lulu Spencer recast on General Hospital

WOWWWWWWWW!!!! Amazing!!!! Thank you very much!!!!! I love it and I appreciate it very much!!!!! My best wishes!!!!! What a surprise !! 

Yeah I found someone here in Germany that sold some German Guiding Light episodes and told me he had OLTL ( with a few missing episodes).. But I didn’t care. As long as I can watch some classic Andrea Evan’s from her younger years on the show is much appreciated.. and Samantha. I never got to experience her and was so excited to got the opportunity to finally see some living pictures of her lol

Dorian is a hoot in those episodes. Love her.

I never knew that the actor of Burke Devlin#2 and Jeremiah from DS was on OLTL.. that was such a hughe surprise

and I finally got to see some Mario episodes 

And Rayne’s Killer is:

ROMEO!

Worst Reveal ever! I mean it was clearly self defense etc. But really? Ugh

DAYS: Nicole vs Sami ! That stuff was fire 

GH: Laura vs Bobbie! God how I loved that.. 

If Jill and Katherine from Y&R ain’t mentioned than I’m mad lol They are the definition of the soap opera feud 

I do loved the Adam-Chelsea and Billy Boy’s feud on Y&R even though it’s a bit more one sided most of the time coz they always blame him for the death of Delia but it gave a lot of good feud feelings to it

It is ironic that if one cannot respectfully engage with others, they wind up like a Passions character, alone yelling their thoughts aloud with nobody to hear them.

There was another thing with that user about her beloved Deidre/Marlena from Days and she already gave me Theresa Vibes lol No offense of course

This thread ought to be for fans only. You can bash JER and my soap elsewhere. 

Wow!! A bit rude lol

GH: depends… I think the show itself ain’t even that bad like people make it out to be and can’t say what’s the last good one

y&r: 2016… and 2018… 

B&B: 2013/14-ish

Days: 2016…. It got better again until 2020/21

Tripp Being accused of rape even though his half brother was it could’ve led to years of some great material for the brothers. We had Charlie with mommy issues with Ava, we have his rape victim Allie and THEIR child AND we have his brother Tripp… I don’t know why Ron and his team didn’t saw the material right in front of them to built up something bigger than a stupid “who killed Charlie”-plot no one asked or cared for. Such wasted potential and that ruined it for me for good and when they did the Devil 2.0 story back I gave up on it entirely. 

AMC: Don’t know why people were so hard on AMC’s last year  I mean 2008 was rough and I kinda hated it but 2009 recovered it and 2010-11 was a great last year. I have soft spot for my men David Hayward!

OLTL: Tough coz even though it started to have some silly Ron story’s going on it wasn’t really bad and looked as fresh as ever tbh. I don’t think OLTL had a last good year coz it at least had something good going on til the end.

Guiding Light.. 2008-09… The new camera thingy was rough… I only cared for Bizzie. I mean I still use my YouTube account with the GL Bizzie name… They are in my top 4 ultimate super couples and got me going with GL til the end but the final year was really really rough..

Another World: 1996.. But I’ll admit that I did enjoy 1998-99.. But hey. I was a young boy when it aired. Maybe if I would rewatch it now I would think differently lol

Passions: 2004/05-ish… When all those weird rape story’s happened it was unwatchable. It did recover a bit but not by much. And the final year? Hell nah.

Atwt: 2010… I don’t think the show’s final years were as bad as people make It out to be lol  Maybe I started too late but I do prefer the 00’s of Atwt over the 90’s

Yeeeeees! I‘M so hyped! Can’t wait to have Jason back and Steve. 

U can tell Kelly ain’t happy lol 

But I’m more than happy. He’s finally home ! Let’s go. Shame that Covid ruined a wonderful pairing of Jason/Britt

I am shocked that there was no ME/Finn at all not shown, nor mentioned or anything

Same.. But they didn’t mention a lot and just had an hour.. 

Rick Springfield at least showed up and showed his respect.. I love how he mentioned the pretty girls he had on the show but no mention of Anne Logan lol

That ending, yep Burton's so returning

He better be!!! He belongs to GH! Shame Covid ruined a Britt-Jason pairing

This was a sweet little anniversary special! BUT oh damn.. It was so corny here and there that I was cringing so hard. But overall it was lovely 

I definitely LOVED the Quartermaine’s bit! To see original Emily/Amber was such a WOW moment. Even though I loved Natalia a bit more coz of the Nik-Emily pairing I do admire the OG!

Kristina Wagner wearing that damn dress from 1986 must be really emotional for her and it must’ve brought back a lot of old memories of her and Frisco aka Mister Wagner lol It reminded me again why I still love her and would love a reunion of the Wagners on screen..

Rebecca Herbst reminding us that she is the granddaughter of the Men who started it all made me laugh coz Frank and his team mistreated her character so poorly over the years that this part was embarrassing 

STEVE!!!! Oh my god ! I was so hyped with the door part lol

It's interesting how Susan Pratt has played three characters - GH's Anne, AMC's Barbara, GL's Claire - that audiences don't "love to hate" so much as they just plain hate, lol.

Idk what it is but I actually watched most of her run as Barbara and all of her Claire episodes and she was annoying in all of them besides GL. When she joined GL I wa surprised what fresh air she brought in especially with her on screen chemistry with John Wesley Shipp.. But she became annoying there too someday. I don’t know if it’s her acting or the writing but she is just too much in most of her shows lol

and on GH she was just so whinny and exhausting to watch. They could’ve done so much with the Anne/Heather feud tbh but nah. They axed Diana and killed her off and didn’t prop Heather/Anne’s feud like they could have

The Ice Princess storyline was written by Thom Racina acting as a scab & Gloria Monty, EP, during the WGA stirke of 1981, a strike noted for lasting only 3 months. The WGA strike in 1981 began on March 7 and ended on August 7, lasting for a total of 153 days.

Oh ok. Thanks. I didn’t knew that. explains a lot now  

And oh my god how much I hate Anne Logan! Sometimes I wish Heather would just bump her off lol 

Maybe GH/ABC can rehire him… Pleeeaaase. I need Jason back. 

I’ve finally made it through April 1981 after a long break and made it through the first week of May 1981..

Luke and Laura Got engaged! 

As much as I love General Hospital and people who know me know that I even travelled a long way to meet the cast etc. and I do love it.. 
BUT if I ever hear that damn ice princess again when I’m done with it I will kill someone. 

People who watched this live can’t tell me that they weren’t annoyed by how long they dragged this stuff out. I mean the acting was top notch and so was the atmosphere but they started this damn story in November 80 and the heroes nor the villains got their hands on it. Why are they stalling this story so much for god damn sake.. I don’t know why but I preferred the LnL-Frank Smith Story over the Ice Princess storyline so far. Maybe it will change my mind when it’s done but come on. 6-7 months and besides the cat and mouse game between Robert/Luke.. Tony Cassadine’s introduction and the power hungry Alexandria we got nowhere in this story. People complain about these days soaps and their structure of storytelling but it has always been like this lol

my Girlfriend watched a few episodes with me and even noticed how often they say “Ice Princess” and thought we should do a drinking game out of it. But I think I would be dead after 10 episodes lol

i wasn’t that annoyed or ranting when the summer of Frank smith story was on. 

And Alan-Susan’s subplot is moving so damn slowly with their affair and her pregnancy.. But at least Alan tried to fight Alexandria because of the money before getting put back in his place. 
 

Heather is finally out of the clinic and living and working at Rose’s.. Finally some movement.. Now Sarah is causing trouble.. I am really surprised about the great acting from Sarah’s actress.

i’m quite shocked how many episodes there were between 1980-1981 that featured like nearly all of the cast. The budget must’ve been Hugh’s to feature so many cast member at once. 

Passions:

Like everyone who replaced former cast members were quite horrible besides Eric as Ethan!

The last actor who played Miguel was the worst recast I’ve ever witnessed tbh

Justin Hartley’s Adam was nothing like Michael Muhney’s or really any of the other Adams tbh. He was genuinely a nice guy and didn’t do any of the plotting and scheming that every other portrayer has. He didn’t come off as a sociopath.

He portrayed the more misunderstood version of it who constantly is making the wrong choices and screws up anyhow lol
