So, the idea of having a Deception spa (wait, a spa named "Deception"??) was there even in '92. Interesting. I've always felt like GH was only partially committed to Deception (Cosmetics/Spa) being a real presence on the show.

Welp, there you are, lol. Thanks, @Franko!

Just as "60 Minutes" and "Murder, She Wrote" were there for CBS when the network was struggling, so, too, were "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Facts of Life" there for NBC when their lineup could not have been any worse.

IIRC, Deception became Lucy's company after Dominique had died and Scott and Julia left town. "Deception" was and is such an awful name for a cosmetics company. But I guess it beats calling it "LucyCo."

I just hope they can get Chad Allen for that one, lol!

"I'm so glad Tulsi spoke out on this escalating crisis," said absolutely no one in the entire galaxy.

Laura Carrington was just too pretty for words in that dress and veil.

I wonder how anyone could tell the difference between Isaac and a robot.

No, Ronn Moss returns...as Thorne.

No, Brooke kidnapped Caroline years ago (when everyone thought she was dying of leukemia) and has had her stashed in some secluded mansion!

I'm sorry, but I've seen "RT" so much, and I still have no clue what it stands for.

I got it (again)! We learn the entire run of B&B has been nothing more than a dream, and Bradley Bell tops DAYS' time jump with one of his own, turning the clock all the way back to 1987!

Thank God for Brandon Stoddard and his decision to revamp ABC's lineup with shows like "Moonlighting" and "thirtysomething." ABC's brand as the destination for escapist programming was beginning to wear thin. Don't forget the story where Dr. Adam Bricker was kidnapped and replaced with his evil doppelganger!

Well, I must admit, that slot seemed to work well for "Sisters," but I guess expectations for that show were low going in.

I wish some talk show host would run those clips while Meg Ryan was on their show. If only to see how she'd react.

But wait! There's more! "Deidre" becomes jealous when Marlena does such a good job as her stand-in for the Marlena/Samantha scenes that the director of "Marlena: the Miniseries" wants to replace her with Doc herself! Seeing a golden opportunity to stretch herself artistically slip through her soap diva fingers, "Deidre" (in quotes, because even though Dee's essentially playing herself, she's really an exaggerated version of herself) gets inspired by the script (and Marlena's own life story), stashes Marlena some place, and proceeds to impersonate Marlena and enlists none other than Hattie to play "Deidre." So, now you've got Dee playing "Deidre," and Marlena, and Hattie, and "Deidre" AS Marlena (and Samantha in the movie), and Hattie AS "Deidre." If that doesn't get her ass the Emmy, nothing will!

Why does Eric Martsolf always look stoned?

Cheryl Pollak was also on HOTEL MALIBU. Trust me, she isn't much of an actress.

I'm pretty sure Millee Taggart was the HW (and Paul Rauch the EP) for Dame Joan as Alex and the Richard story.

As Ann Romano would say, "Oh my Gawwwwwwwwwwd."

I think the bigger question is, who HASN'T slept with Kate?

Too bad Dennis Cole has passed away. You KNOW Bradley Bell would have hired him to play the real Eric.

Well, it IS Ron Carlivati we're talking about. The only thing that's keeping him from writing Craig the way he wants to - hitting up random cute guys in HTS and asking, flat-out, "Wanna [!@#$%^&*]?" - is today's equivalent of Network Standards and Practices.

I miss those days.

I still question how a gay man literally being tempted by the devil is supposed to be funny or titillating.
