Thank God for these '91 episodes of GL to give me my soap fix. Kat/Bridget are just a sad reminder how teens are poorly written now. It also reminds me how GL failed to recapture the magic of this group down the line with younger characters. I feel like the Drew/Bill/Michelle/Jesse were the last teen group to get it right. Frank lurking around watching Eleni/Dylan was so adorable. As I've said in the past, Frank was great for his role as a supporting character and he did have his golden moments. I am eager to rewatch his arc with Eleni. While I loved Liz Kiefer's Blake, these episode highlight why many fans never took to her as Sherry Stringfield's Blake was a hard act to follow. She had the right amount of bitch and you had no choice but to root for her. Love Maureen but she came off so nasty to Holly. I didn't like that. There's just so many juicy moments in this episode that I could go on forever. This show was just so stellar from start to finish.

She really could've. I do think she would've had a hard time at Y&R seeing as the writing for that show is a different beast, but I think she could've tackled it over time.

I get that she was burned out when she left but P&G should've threw in offers too seeing as ABC did so. I think that she would've did wonders for Another World or As the World Turns too.

*sighs* It just boggles my mind how Loving is a show that has all its episodes still intact but is the rarest online to find. I wish someone would come forward with a plethora of episodes to post online. As I've said in the past, Loving is one show I'd like to see from start to finish.

He can get all off-color if he wants too. He is so SEXY! It is criminal that he isn't acting today! I have to add that Walt Willey was looking pretty handsome too! Sucks that no other soap has offered him a role either. I miss his face on daytime. I am not surprised that fans were worried about Lisa Peluso returning as she was a successful recast. From what I've seen, I enjoy both her and Roya's interpretation of Ava. I didn't know that Kate had cancer though. I hope someone post clips of that story. It seems like a very touching story. Speaking Loving, another end credits clip has been posted:

@DRW50 thanks!! Robert Tyler looks so f-cking yummy...

Potomac: Monique annoys me immensely. I thought how she critiqued Karen's outfit for golf was just stupid. If anything, Karen was dressed properly for the event. Who the f-ck wears heels to golf? Her husband, Chris, is the one good thing about her. She better hold onto him for dear life b/c the second he leaves, she is done for. Ashley v. Michael was some of the most awkward mess I've seen on any housewife show. Ashley had me rolling when she tried to cover the mic as if it couldn't still pick up sound. Does this heffa not know that lavalier mics can pick up the sound of a rat p-ssing on cotton? I think I agree with everyone else that this marriage is doomed. If Ashley were smart, she'd start finding ways to prevent Michael for doing the pullout method, so she'd get knocked up. A baby is gonna be that little gold digger's golden ticket b/c otherwise Michael is gonna leave her a** high, dry, and broke. Gizelle is too messy for my liking. I generally like her, but she is trying to play the Kenya/Sheree role on this show and she does not do it properly. She's horrible at it and it makes her look more miserable than what she might be. Karen is the saving grace of this show, and it is shocking to me how I have grown to adore this woman in the matter of episodes. Bravo better pay Karen whatever she wants to stick with this show b/c the second she goes, it is done and over. Cheshire: Whoa! What a finale! What I live about this show that it is 10 easy, breezy episodes to get through instead of a tedious 18-24 episodes the US housewife shows do. Moving on, Dawn totally got a lite unveiling of what happened to Phaedra tonight as everyone now knows what she is all about. Tanya has officially turned her back on Dawn. Leanne wants nothing to do with Dawn. Seema slyly pointed out how Dawn compares Ester to Misse, and if Misse were smart, she would've picked up on that. In so many words, Seema was pointing out Dawn has pawns, not friends. I had the same sentiments as Tanya when Nic/Royston came rushing to deliver the news that they were gonna be the Ward kids' godparents. Dawn did that deliberately and the timing totally exposed her hand. I am glad that Leanne gave no reaction, but you know deep down that she was hurt. I am glad that she took the upper hand and still said that she'd be there for Charlie (Dawn's child who she was godmother too) down the road if she needed her. When it comes to Seema/Stacey v. Ester, I don't know who to believe. I find all 3 of them to be liars. I do believe that Ester said those things about Ampika to Seema/Stacey, BUT I betcha money that Seema/Stacey were in on it too. I'm beginning to see how sneaky these 2 are. I believe that they are gradually trying to remove all the 'queen bees' on this show, so that they can establish themselves as the top women on this show. That aside, I hope this is the end of Ester. I just find her grating and too trashy for my liking. Dawn v. Leanne wasn't as major as I thought it would be; however, I enjoyed it. When Leanne slapped Dawn's hand away, you can so see Dawn wanting to pop Leanne, but she'd further prove that Sinitta was right about Dawn hitting her. Dawn gives me vibes that she loves to exert her dominance in any kind of way possible. I am NOT here for the little special they are throwing tomorrow about touring their houses. I don't wanna see that. I wanted a damn reunion. Who cares of Leanne/Dawn can't be in a room together? I want it! If either one couldn't handle it, fire the one that didn't show up and keep it trucking. By production doing crap like this allows the inmates (well housewives) to get power and that's not a good thing. By doing this, they'll go on to refuse to do future reunion if they see fit. At the end of the day, Magali needs to return. Ester needs to go. While I can't stand Dawn, she has to stay as she is this show's primary villain. I might actually grow to care about her a teeny bit if she owned her role on the show instead of being a constant victim.

This episode makes me understand a bit more why Hayley possibly drifted towards Jake in the future. Ted was such a righteous dumb ass and hot head in the episode by outright blaming Jake for raping Hayley when they had no proof. To old SB fans, did Ted get worse in writing post-Laken? I just find him so annoying in this pairing with Hayley that I root for Jake to come take her off Ted's hands.

Oh wow. I didn't know that ABC tried to snag Nancy Curlee for LOVING. I think that as @Soaplovers pointed out that she would've done well on that show. I think that she would've had a field day with Gwen, Angie, and Ava.

I loved Kat/Bridget's friendship too. '91 does seem like a good year for the show. How Curlee masterfully introduced the next generation of teens (Kat, Bridget, Julie, Hart...) without making it overkill is to be admired. On any soap nowadays, we'd be tired of them after one scene. I love how much of a mess Bridget was from the start. I did find it harsh how she talked to Michelle/Ben though. I am eager to see once again how she'd become a surrogate sister to Michelle over time. Well I'll take old-fashioned P&G soaps over what is left. I feel like all the P&G soaps (ATWT/GL/AW) were firing on all cylinders at this time. But GL was shining the brightest. God I miss Nancy Curlee on TV. To me, she was the last great head writer that daytime produced.

Stop! Leave 90s boo alone! I don't need him to be a thespian when he looks as good as he does.

My God Kat was a brat then. I truly don't understand why she gave poor Gilly so much grief when Gilly wasn't even a threat to her at all. I do love the scene with Kat/Bridget though knowing that they'd go on to be best friends. Bridget was a bitch and freaking hoot this episode. When Ben accidentally tossed that water and hit her in the face, I burst into laughter. But I don't blame her for one second for becoming enthralled by Dylan. Morgan Englund was (and still is) sexy as [!@#$%^&*]. I would've went outside and watched his sexy ass at the pool too. So funny how these 2 would end up together down the line. But back to Morgan Englund, why did he quit acting?! God I miss looking at his gorgeous face on TV! Watching all these 1991 episodes depresses me about how much Ben would've contributed to the last era of the show. IMO, him, Michelle, and Bill should've been the three leads driving the show till its end. I can't get enough of Holly, Gilly, and Mindy, who are all some of my favorite characters from this era.

Oh I am still pissed that she killed Andy and sent poor Steph off into the sunset alone.

It's the same as US soaps. Some times they have their duds. Other times they have their successes.

Caleb returned when Aaron was aged. Julie never did.

I agree. Corrie has gotten to dark lately. I do think that Corrie should've had a serial killer off a lot of the irrelevants on the street (Fiz, Chesney, Sean, etc.). That's what Phelan should've been before being killed off.

Wow. I am all for cleaning house on Corrie (as they need to), but if Nick is killed off, that's sheer stupidity. Why kill off Nick when he is still viable in the future? Also, the Platts have already suffered enough this past year. Why make things worse for them by killing off Nick? Gail and David have grieved enough. Give them a freaking break. Plus, poor Sarah already has enough doom and gloom with Bethenny. This is serious overkill. Why couldn't Nick simply leave the Street and meet up with a very pregnant Carla, who reveals she's knocked up by Nick and they go off into the sunset. Now with Chesney, I am all for him being killed off as he's been deadweight for the longest. I'd only wish that they'd do in his sister, Fiz too. Does Kate Oates need for me to send her a list of the right people to kill off b/c I'll do it if necessary.

Oh OK. Thanks for the correction. But why would Caso get rid of him when Kirk was such an asset under Marland?

I didn't care about Kirk/Sam at all with either recast. Only thing I like that Sam did was throw Kirk back into Lucinda's orbit. I always loved the banter between Kirk/Lucinda. Kirk/Iva are a bit before my time, but I do agree with everyone that, that was his most lively pairing. They should've wooed Lisa Brown back before Guiding Light and repaired the two. Yeah. As @DRW50 pointed out, he was booted in '95 and again in '98. Marland died in '93. In '95, Caso was EP for most of the year until Valente took over. I'm assuming Valente got rid of him. Minei Behr was EP around his second departure.

Not the least bit surprised. It's obvious that they are tied to Russia too seeing how adamant many of them defend Trump. IMO, I think that majority of the GOP politicians and their pundits are tied to Russia. I am beginning to believe that this is one big web of treasonists, who sold their souls to ensure they'd win all 3 branches back. Pence, McConnell, Graham, Ryan, Santorum, Kingston, etc. -- I think they are all tied to Russia in some way or another.
