Asking on tv whether an older person is still alive, sounds very mean to me. Desperate, wannabe housewife mean.

It sounds so mean, especially for an old man with health issues.

I feel that the show can't get rid of this meaningless character because the actress keeps getting pregnant all the time.

Really? That's what she said? Is she auditioning for the Real Housewives?

I am always looking for episodes from the Dobson, Marland and Calhoun eras. The Long Kobe years ruined it for me and what came after them was much worse. 80s Reva was so tasteless as the show's heroine, though she might have been ok as a Nola Dancy/Delia Ryan type. JFP's arrogance took so much away from the show and once again, what came after her was much worse. The sad thing is that even by the end, prior to the new "model", GL was such an easy show to fix.

This Joss thing is getting a little bit too weird.

Wasn't there a time when JFP was supposed to take over AMC and Marcy Walker said that she knew that once it happened, she would be let go? Or am I making this up?

I wonder whether they ever toyed with the idea of making JR Digger's son.

Obsessed with late 70s soap aesthetics. I need Liza's sunglasses.

What was that nurse scene all about? Could she be (connected to) Harmony?

Reva could become a new version of Nola Dancy. GL was so bad in 1985, it would be very hard for him to follow any of his rules.

The spin off should not be about another rich family like the Carringtons. The original idea about a group of young people working in a hotel sounds more interesting. Since they couldn't get Pamela Sue, a recast for the new series was a horrible idea. Jeff's new life in California, getting to know a woman who reminds him of Fallon, or falling with a woman who had to compete with his dead wife would be better.

Conboy had done it on Santa Barbara before Bill Bell.

Thank you so much @DRW50. Loving was a different show every year. They wasted Susan Keith who was amazing as AW's Cecile in mostly boring storylines. Roya was fire as Ava!

They wasted Arianne Munker in the stupid Valere story. She would have been great as Hope.

I could be reading posts like that all day long. Thank you so much!

It reminds me of a cheap 90s european soap trying to immitate Dynasty. The skyline behind the actors is so outdated. The skyline behind the logo is so modern GH and vintage TEON. So not Y&R with its classy and sophisticated intros. At this point I'd be happy with title card with the iconic 80s logo.

Sounds more interesting than today's Nikki who is just a bored and boring Mrs. Victor Newman.

I hate the idea of every older female character on soaps becoming an alcoholic at some point.

Was Tom always called "Trip"? I had no idea.

So I guess the new family's daughter will be for RJ. They did tease a new family, didn't they?

I wanted Sara to end up marrying Mike, connecting her son Tim to the Bauer family. GL could use an older couple like this in the 80s and the 90s.

A character staying two years on Another World in the 80s equals staying 4 to 5 years on another soap Tonks.

I guess the white people whining has now been replaced by senior citizen contempt. So adorable.

Marland is my answer to almost any soap question. He was ready to move on from ATWT, wasn't he? An answer with many "what if's".
