You're welcome. So much hype with those finale promos but it was a disappointment.

Also Emma and Lauren never met. In a way Lauren replaced both Maggie and Emma.

The final four episodes felt like they were rewritten to wrap up the storylines. Remember too there was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the first Thursday episode.

1993/94 peak 90210 and Melrose took off. 1994/95 the first post-Brenda season and peak Melrose. That may have been a factor.

Probably not so good. 90210 first season was Thursday 9 pm, head-to-head with #1 Cheers. Those are my memories too. Peak 90210 for me was Summer 1991 until Shannen Doherty departure in Spring 1994.

That I don't know but I would not be shocked at all if it were true.

Kobe/Long introduced characters and storylines that would carry GL through the final 25 years and got the ratings up from the post-Marland slump, but it was too much chasing 1980s trends which wasn't sustainable and caused long-term damage.

@soapfan770 Thanks for sharing. I totally LOL.

35 years ago tonight was the series finale. DALLAS - Final Episode Promo (Spring 1991) DALLAS: Season 14 (1990-91) Promo (The Final Episode) Dallas Finale Promo (4-26-1991)

At this point it seems CBS/Sony care more about ratings and staying within budget than the quality of the writing. I'll keep saying this until it happens. Josh Griffith needs to go.

Yeah, she's had issues going back to Days.

Whom on GL didn't have beef with GA, and did he have issues at Capitol and/or All My Children?

Hahaha. For sure. Jane Wyman was not looking healthy during the final two seasons but I think budget mode also played a part in her episodes being cut in the final season. We know Jane Wyman acted only once after Falcon Crest and that was her 1993 guest appearance on Dr. Quinn but she lived until 2007.

How many addiction storylines has Y&R had? From what I recall: Katherine - alcohol Traci - diet pills Brent Davis - alcohol Phillip III - alcohol Nikki - alcohol and painkillers Billy - alcohol and gambling Neil - alcohol Daniel - porn Jack - painkillers Nick - painkillers I think Nick Reed was introduced as an alcoholic. I can't remember if the initial Victor back story mentioned Albert Miller being an alcoholic or if that was something added later.

I wonder if Christopher Pennock being cast was due to his popularity on Dark Shadows. Between Dark Shadows and GL he had a short arc on Y&R.
