It worked just fine. I don't remember ever feeling the show felt awkward, but admittedly this is when I first started watching so that was the status quo I knew. Erica was in NY because she was Erica and would always find a reason to come back to PV.

New York lasted quite a long time because remember, Jenny had to go on the run in NY, and then had to embark on a modeling career up until the year she died, 1984? Erica was in NY all that time. Brandon Kingsley and Sensuelle were in NY, but so were the Bogardes much later, and there are even clips online from when Jane Elliot was on the show at the NY hot spot "Nexus".

I was just rewatching some of this special. This was a nice reunion show. <iframe width="640" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JIZrrJUlz14" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

No Max, you stay I will go. I enjoy talking to you but if I make you feel uncomfortable then I will go and you stay. My opinions of modern republlcans stem from watching them campaign against gay people, the poor, their attempts to tell us what to read and who to sleep with, what women should do with their bodies, and the lies they tell as they pocket more and more money. But that's me and this thread should be for everyone, so you stay and my opinion on these people has already been stated.

wow watching this again I forgot just how entertaining this was. No irony or hip smugness, and I love the music and light effects. I know this is heresy in these parts, but I would sooner watch crap like this than any of Claire Labine's junk. This is way more entertaining than watching people being perpetually diagnosed with maladies as they narrate their every feeling and thought for the camera.

I assume the entire story is on this YT channel <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ldDhFUaLSQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X2Vxyyl-ucI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Casey was a solid little story. It made sense, it had heart and sentiment, good guys and bad guys..it had everything a story needed. I liked that GH tried a little science fiction (it was after STARMAN came out, so I guess they were jumping in on the sci fi action), and it is to GH's discredit that they have not tried anything all these years since. Especially when LOST was popular and the watercooler show of the country, how could not a single soap jump on the mystery/science fiction train and do something different? They all adhere and cling to the same tired formula that was tired and run into the ground 10 years ago or more.

on aug 7th in this very topic I said don't listen to a single word of bullshit in this thread about so-called "mainstream" republicans or how they want what is best for the country. Republicans want to destroy social security and all the money should be horded by the top. That is the way they have always been, and that is the way they always will be. If FDR could be brought back he would tell you the same thing. Any word to the contrary is subterfuge, deciept and an attempt to make you think modern republicanism is something other than a cult that worships money fueled by distrust of anyone who isn't some fundie hatemonger out to attack the gays and blacks. And soon I imagine someone will come along and tell me my comment is beyond the pale, and yet incapable of offering up a single name of any republican politician anywhere who does not subscribe to "trickle down" (read: piss on) economics.

That other guy was just awful. He sounded like he would be portraying a gangster or a cab driver from some 1940s WB movie. I am not surprised he hasn't popped up too many places since.

The show tried to get rid of Edward once and they brought on that completely wrong actor who sounded like a teamster. They wound up having to ask JI back. Edward I feel serves more of a dramatic purpose than any other Q and his absence creates this big hole in the show and it just doesn't flow right. We see it even to this day with Edward wanting Michael at ELQ. Without Edward there wouldn't be a single Q who would want him to work there, not even Alan. So you sort of need Edward to have any Q presence because Edward is the only Q that cares about the Qs as an entity. The rest can't be bothered. Without Edward you might as well write out Tracy and Monica too.

Their scenes together were horrible. The whole gatekeeper thing was ridiculous since no one asked them to keep any gates and no one needed them to. The Qs went 15 years without anyone keeping their gate and got along just fine, and as for Alexis..well, when Marilyn Munster is offering opinions about what is wrong with the rest of the Munsters you know the writing is completely backwards.

Oh, I was only thinking about Kurt McK Ned. Wally Kurth Ned I try never to think about. He was so unlikable I wouldn't want him sharing scenes with anyone I like. And WK must just have this unlikable air to him because just this week I was watching DOOL and he was doing the same condescending "I know more than you, why must I be subjected to your stupidity" crap that was the hallmark of of his GH term. I honestly think this is what has held him back: he can only play a nagging, eye rolling, sighing, mean spirited jerk no one would want to share a room with for more than 20 seconds.

That was a pretty hit and miss period for GH. The late 80s had some entertainment for all the wrong reasons, but stuff with Colton being brainwashed and Stefano DiMera (aka Domino) was just silly and not even a fun silly. I did like the goofy hospital hostage mini series they had where El President had to have heart surgery and Monica was at the time the world's greatest heart surgeon. The entire staff of GH got taken hostage by political rebels. I don't think there was really a lot of time to do Ned and Felicia. She had Colton and Frisco, he had Monica and Dawn, and I guess the only thing they had in common was Decker Moss.

Gloria Monty was a true visionary. The 1991 thing was a failure but to her credit at least she had a 1991 thing. That's what elevates her above all others: she had ideas and tried to do new things. In contrast, everyone else since Monty has been doing the same stuff again and again with never a change in vision. She felt the 1990s needed to be blue collar. I don't think that means she disliked the Quartermaines as much as she felt it was her job to come up with stuff. I guess it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.

There has been a lot of looking into Texas' miracle. From everything I have read, private sector jobs are down but government jobs are way up. And while it is true Texas has fared better than most everywhere else, a lot of that stems from their unique oil economy. So while the rest of the world suffers with $100/barrel oil, for Texas this is manna from heaven and boosts their economy. That's fair I guess, but that is not something any Governor has control over.

It must be frustrating to be Ron Paul at times.

and you are not factoring in the blue dog democrats from conservative states like uber-democrat Ben Nelson. I wonder what his master, Grover Norquist, would say if he decided to raise taxes.

You leave out one very important part. The democrats did not control the needed 60 seats in the senate, and republicans wouldn't even let the bush tax cuts expire. Do you really think they would have voted to raise taxes? Obama can't even get half his appointees filled, he is going to convince ten republican senators to go along with a tax increase?

There is something so phony about Romney, I don't think he has a chance of getting elected. Nobody buys his act, from his gun rights cred of "shooting varmints" once in his life, to his nauseating flip flopping on freedom of choice that is documented, to his torturous attempts at attacking Obamacare while defending Romneycare..he is a hack, a charlatan, and I think everyone sees this. That's why he couldn't even beat John McCain last time, and that's why he is destined for failure this time. Nobody likes a guy who is so blatant in changing his opinion on a dime to accommodate whoever he happens to be talking to at the moment, and his stance that corporations are people too and need our sympathy while they horde hundreds of billions as the flesh and blood people can't find jobs will come back to haunt him.

She has no chance to win either. I hope she wins the nomination in a landslide though just to be crushed in the general election. Just the thought of her as President with that accent his enough to make you throw your TV out so you never have to listen to her. I can't think of which republican currently has a chance of beating Obama. They tout Rick Perry but the press forgets that outside the republican primary being a Jesus freak is not a qualification for office. The cable news anchors just need a story to fill time and for the moment settled on this guy.

I didn't think he had a shot in hell, but there is something wrong with the system when you are forced to bail out after a disappointing finish in a non-binding, 5000 person glorified town hall meeting in some small town in some tiny state. Iowa is not even in the top half of states population-wise, and I imagine the town of Ames must be tiny and wielding too much power per capita. Anyway, has there ever been a more dull speaker than this guy? Even his mother would fall asleep when he talks.

<iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uyRWldNKpFg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Maybe it was both that and this combined. I love the way she reflects on saying "In my day".

It may be, I think so. I watched these episodes a few years back at aolvideo and scenes like this stood out to me because this was dialogue about real feelings everyone eventually has. Then I watch crap like I saw yesterday with Nancy Lee Grahn on GH, where despite being 50, 60 whatever she is, she is still just oh so energetic and youthful and attractive to the bartender--which is just absurd. And Carolyn Hennesy is parading around in something out of Victoria's Secret at 50. And to me, this scene you linked was 400 times better because there was something for the actress to sink her teeth into and the show did not have this ridiculous need to hide her age. I think it continues the next episode.

Compromise is when both sides give in. What Obama does is surrender to republican blackmail and gives them everything they want. That is the criticism.
