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.

The brunch... http://t.co/xYLN3qNK The bowling event that was held later that day in same venue... (has GL and OLTL pictures) http://stevenbergmanphotography.com/ximagi/search.php?sort=celeb&assignment_id=1723#page=0&view=gallery&key=

I have some older Soap Opera Digests and TVGuide starting around 1989. How quickly do you need this kind of information?

This is not something to complain about, as long as the episodes were interesting that is.

Got an email from soapclassics.com today telling me that my discs are on their way. I hope I can enjoy them over Labor Day weekend.

One person I talk to on twitter who had it expedited got it already. I never got an email confirmation either and I ordered it normal speed.

The music for the credits was Survivor, by Destiny's Child right?

I'm having a wacky GL flashback as "Ross doesn't trust AM..."

WNBC in NYC made the decision to air network game shows from 3-4 pm instead of in the morning. Santa Barbara was switched from their late afternoon slot to noon. They were targeting Santa Barbara fans who watched ATWT because now GL and SB weren't in competition. (I used to watch SB after school, and once it was moved to noon, I could only see it if I home sick.)

Was Clint pardoned that he can move to New Hampshire with Viki?

Darcy, she was one of Eden's girls though she went straight.

Caryn Richman was the New Gidget.

On some episodes, the stories and people that interest me aren't even mentioned in the summary. That is kind of frustrating, but I took the chance hoping that I would enjoy the material. For some people connecting the dots is easier than others...(not a criticism)

I don't get why Knots isn't on one of my "old television" channels, as then I could watch the show. I hope I can find that YouTube parody. I know of the show, but for most of its run it was after my bedtime.

I wonder if Mother's day and the coupon also helped to convince people to buy the last ten Oakdale episodes. I have so many other things to watch that I haven't ordered anything from SoapClassics since the Bauer DVD set.

I have a question are a lot of the episodes of KL uploaded to YouTube? Only the first two seasons are available on DVD, and I never really watched it.

I like how intelligently the fan letters were written for the most part. It wasn't fawning over performers hotness. I wonder what happened to these kind of viewers. I like the whole pyramids are triangles with depth.

They were on for a full week Fiona and Karen. I watched in back in 1990.

According to my email there is a new ATWT streaming episode up from SoapClassics. What is the episode date?

I would totally buy it even if it was before my time.

The wayback machine at archive.org has been around for ages (I've been using it for at least 10 years...) so you should be okay...

While you could embed the video it won't play on SON...weird. Yes there was another Rick before MOL, he didn't work out, and they hired MOL who was the guy who did all the auditions for the Beth/Mindy actresses. Gene Palumbo is someone I am familiar with due seeing his name in the GH credits over 20 years ago. Don't know anything about L. Virginia Browne.

If you compare Barbara Norris to her role as Bridget on Another World, you can see that Barbara Berjer could show different sides in her performances. So I can totally understand not like Barbara Norris as she wasn't the most sympathetic of characters.
