Anyone following Melinda Sue Lewis on Twitter? Seems slightly interesting to read the domestic dramas with Leah, etc.

Awesome music and scene. All those episodes surrounding TGVN's first wedding to Nikki were one of the creative high points of the show...and true passing of the torch between the first and second generations of the characters.

I am loving the German soap clips that I see on youtube, elsewhere. I wish [ a ] Germany would stop importing this US crap and make more shows (although I understand why this is economically not feasible] and [ b ] I really wish these shows would be legally available internationally with subtitles. I wish it would be economically viable to have a "Germany's Greatest Hits" channel (kind of like a commercial version of Deutsche Welle) that airs everywhere. I wish the same for each country. I wish these walls would come down.

Why do you think these latter programs failed?

Jessica Collins, right? Yeah, I can't recall now...but I think someone upfront said Trucker (the actor) either was or looked gay.

I don't think Trucker was gay. I'm 99% sure he married one of the Dinah Lees in real life.

I saw a GREAT episode today where Frank (Daniel Hugh-Kelly) LIT INTO Seneca for concealing the fact that Jill's son, Edmund, was really Frank's. The funny thing is, I can't remember what happened to Edmund in the later years, when they SORASd the kids. Does this mean Edmund died at some point? In any event, the scene was quite powerful. The lower production values of the time really aren't a major issue, and those scenes had classic soapy music and pregnant pauses. These are important parts of the soap formula.

Vielen Dank!

This was can't miss for me. But wasn't it on before or after St. Elsewhere? I seem to recall St. Elsewhere at 10...and Flamingo Road at 9. Did I get that wrong? Morgan Fairchild was great, but I watched for David Selby, Mark Harmon, and OF COURSE Howard Duff. I suspect I wouldn't like it now...but back then it was pure addiction for backstabbing and dirty tricks. I learned the word "Barrio" from that show!

the music is cool...I'm moved by that beautifully written scene more.... ETA: You people are killing me. Those GH clips, that Days clip....great actors, lots of locations, beautiful music, and storylines that--AT A GLANCE--made me feel something and hooked me in. Don't ever post these clips again please :-). It's like looking at that aging relative (a metaphor I keep using), and seeing how much they have lost compared to how they used to be. I can scarcely bear to look.
