Thanks for sharing this with us once you got permission. Who was the guy that Katie is with in the first scene?

That seems like a parody, but it is not.

OWN marathons them so if you have the channel you can see them.

Jenna and Josh interacted for an extremely short time (it may have been less than five shows) right before Fiona left GL in 1994, the character was very pregnant at the time with Henry Cooper Bradshaw. It was the first time since Robert Newman was back on GL, that I saw him spark with an actress and she was out the door. I was very disappointed that no one had thought of having them interacting earlier as Josh and Tangie didn't work, and both Josh and Jenna loved and supported Vanessa.

I didn't care for Connor and Cal, but I hated Mark and Connor. It drove me nuts that this powerful business woman became obsessed with doing it in a treehouse.

I understood it on one level, as they were both thieves/con artists so they appreciated each other for their craft. When Jenna lost Roger's baby, Buzz was there for her so I felt she was indebted. That said once the whole Nadine/Buzz/Jenna triangle was in full force I thought that was odd. I actually wanted Jenna with Josh, but maybe that was just me.

Soap Fan Cruises is having an ATWT event in late January - early February. http://www.soapfancruises.com/

It wasn't the end of the school year. That is why the only one leaving is Brittany (Heather Morris), which may have been done because she won't be available when they get back to taping due to her pregnancy.

I still think it is funny how Justin Deas shared that once Bruce Barry tried to rein him in and then he phoned in his material. Of course, I wonder how long it took for Mr. Barry to do that.

The casting director for Glee has a tie to Passions as his wife was Ivy Crane on that show.

Joanna Going was also on last night's Mad Men.

The whole what happened off camera was the real show. Now I'm interested in dirt about a soap I never watched LOL.

Yes Clarence used to do promotions for all of the CBS shows back in the 90s.

It was Snoop I can understand the dancing regardless of the circumstances.

This episode has Reginald the lamb, but doesn't have anyone tossing the lamb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1swq2uHNmM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The Shane part bothered me due to the rewrite issue too, as the idea that he knew he was a match and said nothing. There wasn't anything in what we saw when Shane was initially sick for us to assume Clint knew. He could have donated anonymously...

Paying Eddie Ford to kidnap Nora, and Eddie nearly raped her. The whole blackmailing Inez to sleep with Bo, was almost comical in a ridiculous sense.

That's part of the beauty of the material, it was written that each character had their own point of view that were valid in their own ways. More than once Ross said to Holly that they were going out as friends, and that he couldn't have a serious relationship with anyone. Holly felt like Ross was giving her hope that they could get back together. There was one thing you're missing CarlD2, the last straw with Holly and Blake's relationship happened after Eleni and Alan-Michael were married. Blake thought she still had a chance and was working at Spaulding. Holly let it slide accidentally to Eleni and of course Blake lost her job. That was why Blake exclaimed to herself about how Holly stole her chance with AM, so Blake was going to steal the man Holly wanted. You stole my man, mother...I'll guess I'll take yours.. something along those lines..

Which episode was Vee watching that Carl shared?

The second photo group Cheap is from SoapFest in Marco Island Florida this weekend.

I don't Facebook, but I'd love it if they would do it in Agnes Nixon's home turf near the real world Pine Valley.

They could have mentioned his television ads. That would have been even more ridiculous, that said even though Pelphrey's last soap role was on ATWT, I think most equate him with GL.

If it wasn't for Zas, they wouldn't have brought Maureen's Holly back at all. He's the one who asked for her to at come to GL at least for a short run, and then Pam Long saw her and was sold.

That video was made in 1995. For me the rape is a factor in the relationship, but it isn't all there is. As you saw in the video, this wasn't forgotten or glamorized like with other shows. The voices of the various actors on GL were so specific, you could almost just listen to the show and know who was on screen. I was the same way when I first saw Chris Bernau, I was in shock at how wonderful he was. In 1996, GL split the opening into two one was the "Reva" version and the other was the "Roger" version. I don't think Reva or Roger was the most popular character of all time when it comes to GL, but Bert. In Roger's mind, Ross was a villain and originally the character was supposed to be only very short term (6-9 months) being bad. Everyone in town was able to forgive Ross and he became a respected part of the community, while Roger never could get over his past. Ed, who Roger always hated became Ross's best friend for example, and Ross was able to turn Blake against both Roger and Holly. Holly and Ross dealt with his part of what happened, and it was acknowledged with lines like how until Holly came back to town the only person who didn't like him was Alan. Another scene that touched upon this was after Ross/Holly had broken up and Vanessa was dealing with her attempted rape, Holly was telling Vanessa the importance of pressing charges on the guy who did this to her, while Ross looked on and the scene was just brimming with subtext.

Cat welcome if you have any questions please ask one of us can fill you in on the older stuff. Hearing about what GL was and then seeing what you saw it is understandable that you didn't get it. That comment from Carlivati was so offensive on many levels. I felt lucky at the time when GL was on and really wonderful as I never saw anything like it. We were lucky that we had the time we did, and I wouldn't trade that away.
