I swear I remember a conversation where Iris mentioned that Mac had gone to Dartmouth!

Excellent idea!

I remember him from the 80s on General Hospital. He played Heather's psychologist Dr. Sy Katz.

I do remember that Laurie Ann, after she returned home for the show's final Christmas, asked her parents to help her locate her son so that she could reconnect with him. But yes, he could have been utilized all those years that Laurie Ann was institutionalized.

Wasn't that arc great? I remember EON hyping the fact that the show had secured screen star Kim Hunter for the role of Nola. (I was young at the time, so I was unfamiliar with Ms. Hunter's work.) I really enjoyed Nola and Owen as well as Page and Brian.

While I respect the fact that some people liked Bolger, please no!!! For one thing, he would have probably looked way too old next to his on-screen father. I assume that the writers would have addressed his mental fragility in the future but shifted course and went with the physical illness to wrap up his storyline once they learned of the show's cancellation. His return is the whole reason I recently chose to watch those final seven months of the Peapack era.

Yes, I guess you're right, considering the fact that even I wasn't watching in 2009: I recently viewed the Peapack era on YouTube. The thing is, I used to watch GL (and the whole CBS daytime line-up) with my grandmother, so it was kind of tough to see one of the shows we looked at together go out like that.

I agree! While I'm glad that the actors and crew got to work for another year-and-a-half or so, I have to wonder if the end result was worth it. Maybe it would have been better to be unemployed than have your name attached to the inferior product that Guiding Light became during the Peapack era.
-
Yes, I understand. I just wish writers could have at least asked their grandmothers or old babysitters or anyone they knew of that had watched these shows if they remembered anything useful.

I know this is nitpicky, but wouldn't the mansion have likely been located farther out of town and in a more rural area? (Afterall, there was acreage enough for horses and stables, right?) But we're to believe that Rachel had to walk from her lower income neighborhood and past these countryside estates on her way to the public high school which was, presumably, in the center of town.

Do new writers ever bother to ask the actors about the specifics of the history of their character? Can actors feel free to chime in when they see that an egregious error is about to be made regarding backstory or the personality of their character or would that be considered bad form or insubordination? I know the actors have a lot of lines to memorize each day, so do they even remember things that happened with their storylines years ago? Why can't writers assemble a panel of dedicated viewers like the people on this board as consultants? We seem to recall just about everything, LOL.

This is along the same line I think: a character such as Cass Winthrop has a sister like Stacy who moves to town and leaves. Yet, years later when Cass's brother Morgan shows up, did either of them mention their sister Stacy? (If they did, I apologize, I just don't remember it.) It's as if Stacy and Morgan existed in different universes. Something similar happened on Matlock: he had a daughter named Charlene when the show started and many years later, he had a daughter named Lianne. But I don't recall Matlock saying he had two daughters or ever mentioning the earlier daughter when talking to the latter daughter.
