Supposedly Jackie was killed off due to the recast not being liked. Ed's birthday is in December, why would they have a birthday party for him in the summer. I understood when reading about what was going on at GL why they dumped Adam and Barbara. Holly and Roger were both gone, so where was the story?

That story was bad. I can't disagree with SOD, and it was very disappointing to see such a great couple end in such a manner.

He passed away in September of 2009. Jameson Parker as someone on OLTL was able to get other jobs at ABC shows due to the soap connection. P&G soap performers didn't have that ability. That's what he referenced. There is a lot to read, and I haven't gotten through all of it.

This blog was created by the wife of the late Tom O'Rourke (Justin Marler). It links to a lot of old articles about him, the info he was given when he auditioned about the Marler family and some video clips. Also on the page is part of his journals from his early days at TGL. In 1976, they taped the show the day before airing. He also talked about how ABC was different than P&G when it came to the treatment of their stars as he was friends with Jameson Parker. http://thomasorourkeactor.blogspot.com/

The GL cover in 1997 was done pretty last minute IIRC. There had been discussion during SOD GL chat about will GL get a cover for the anniversary. They took note, if you read the article in the actual magazine about that anniversary other than what was quoted at the photo shoot, it is mainly quotes with JvD and not with everyone. The SOD section on AOL had interviews and such and gifs of all the covers available for download. Unfortunately I think most of that has been lost, I'd have to find floppy disks and pray that I can get them read and working to share that.

Supposedly Maeve left to spend time with her kids, of course that may have been just said to keep quiet about the real reasons.

GT started at GL over a year before JvD left, and most of her early scenes were with him.

MichaelGL I'm guessing the Harley/Blake fight was the one at the Country Club, where Harley ended up giving Josh a black eye?

SOD and SOW talked to LK last fall about the movie Morning Glory. The pictures on Jeff Goldblum's desk were Liz's own photos including ones of her kids.

One of my biggest issues with GL in the last few years was they ruined the strong female characters by making them unintelligent. The stories became about nothing and it was frustrating.

Vanessa as a legal secretary, that's ridiculous. So who was at Lewis at the time, and why was Vanessa not at Spaulding? I remember reading that they had numerous writing teams/changes that year, so it was confusing for everyone.

GLisNo1 Is there any chance you can share some of the data you collected over the years? The only numbers for appearances I've seen available are from mid-92 forward. Tina Sloan was talking about Phillip and Harley not being a real relationship. She said that in the 90s which caused a big war on the web. I liked Beth and Ben also as it fit with the more damaged/bitter version of her character.

I'd like to see the Norris stuff obviously. I'd like to see what it was about Stanley that was so awful and not just read about. Basically from modern era (when it went to 30 minutes through the 80s that I haven't seen)...

1. Holly confirmed that the pictures of Blake and Ross together in his bedroom was legitimate. Blake had lied to Roger and said that the photos had been faked. Holly followed Roger to Blake's place at the time (Bauer Garage Apartment) and listened at the door as Roger confronted them. After Roger slapped Blake, Holly left. 2. Vanessa and if I recall right Bill started drinking while in elementary school to be more like his dad Billy. Bonus: Lillian is Beth's mom.

Monti Sharp who got an Emmy for the part. Gilly Grant Hamp played the sax.

1. I think Reva's first husband was Billy. They were married off screen. 2. Jonathan's biological father is Richard Winslow. 3. Vanessa was the driver of the car that hit Reva. She was addicted to pills at the time. 4. Dolly was the name of Reva's clone.

1. Gus grew up as Nick Augustino in Chicago. He only started using the name Gus after he left Chicago. 2. Blake gave birth to Clarissa at the Bauer Cabin. When Clarissa was born there was a line about how they couldn't tell Ed that their whole family was born in the cabin (since the twins were born there too.) Clarissa was conceived in the bathroom of the Carriage House. 3. New York City (I think they did some clowning while there.)

1. Reva pulled the plug on Richard because he asked her to do so. 2. Sebastian Bonus: Tammy was hit by a car driven by Gillespie. Daisy was a passenger when this happened, but she was high. Jonathan was the person that Gillespie was supposed to hit. Alan hired Gillespie to do the dirty deed. In the past, Gillespie had been hired by Olivia to off Ava...

1. Harley Davidson Cooper and Dr. Rick Bauer 2. Dinah has five siblings. Dinah's siblings on her mother's side are Bill and Maureen. Dinah's siblings on her father's side are Kevin, Jason and Clarissa. (Vanessa tried to adopt Peter,--Hart and Bridget's son...but it was never finalized as far as I remember so my answer is 5.) Bonus: Reva's grandchildren are Sarah (Jonathan's daughter with Lizzie Spaulding) and Daisy who used to be called Susan (Dylan's daughter with Harley Cooper.)
