GH: Classic Thread
That very fact, that she immediately threw out a week of shows, is as we know, staggering! That is the first sign of how important & yes how dire the situation was. I've looked at this whole thing about 6 different ways of examining all that we know & I agree with just about every word you've said. It's very true that more time was needed before she could really get things in shape but that one cycle was enough to show potential & with that potential, the promise of better things to come. And, Marland & Monty fulfilled that promise. I am a student of the shows that were saved. AW & DAYS were typical because they were in danger so early on. GH is different because it had been on the air for 15 years when its threat came. I revere the show savers. I remember Mary Stuart talking about the 13 week cycle. BITD they literally weren't sure they'd have jobs at every single 13 week calendar date.

Yes, Julie & Maggie, good, always is. Kristen surprised me. With Clyde's allegation I find I have to know more. I wonder now that he's been apprehended if John & Steve are about to be in trouble. Mostly I muttered throughout the whole show. I am so sick of Konstantin. Whatever. Carry on, I guess. BTW, I asked AI what St. Jude is the patron saint of. I was thinking that it's of lost causes. Here: St. Jude, also known as Thaddeus, is the patron saint of lost causes and impossible situations. He was one of Jesusโ original twelve Apostles and is believed to have written the Letter of Jude in the Bible. His popularity among Catholics likely stems from his association with helping those in desperate need. According to tradition, St. Jude miraculously healed the ruler Abgar V of Edessa, which led to his patronage of lost causes12. If you find yourself facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, St. Jude is often invoked for intercession and hope3. ๐

I'm sorry. I honestly did not mean it to be chastising you.

becomes this. https://soaps.sheknows.com/gallery/gay-tv-stars-lgbtq-soap-actors/annabels-60th-anniversary-party-2023 An opportunity to do some good. When you see long-handled URLs like this that go on forever, look for the question mark. You can delete everything from the question mark to the right to the end of the line.

And his husband is also named Adam but not Huss. Below here are the two Adams & their pup. I make this point because Patrick Mulcahey's husband is also Patrick Mulcahey.

Thanks. I am very vague on LOVING history!!! I only watched the last weeks because I mistakenly thought I would need to see it since I was going to watch THE CITY. I can just imagine him being a magnet for confused straight girls! When we lived in Brooklyn, he was one of about a dozen actors who lived near us so we'd see them sometimes. I even met his cute little dog one evening.

Don't know that one. She dated Fannie Flagg for years. At B&B Joanna Johnson & a producer Hope Harmel Smith had a fight over her & a producer had to come out of the booth & break it up. Apparently she was dating them both. Good for her! LW says before LOVING she had only worked at her Dad's service station.

Concerned about Tracy keeping the shades on. Their mother looked amazing. They cleaned up nice. From your keyboard to Soap Jesus! So glad Blaze showed a little bit of frustration & anger at that idiocy. And, yes, never have I ever been so glad to see Kristina show up! Don't blame them! It's the writers.

Or the alternate versions: 1. Gloria has till the end of the year. 2. Gloria was told to go get things ready to shut it down & she disobeyed orders & saved it instead. But #2 is really daft because supporting evidence is that ABC Prez asked Agnes who would be good to write new stories for young kids while still writing for the adult couples. Her reply, Douglas Marland. That question would not have been asked if they had decided already. But, a longer time frame could certainly have been the case. 13 weeks fits because it's one cycle. But, 13 weeks is also an incredibly short period of time.

ALL: Who do you think would be a good writer for the remaining soaps?
I will be surprised if she ever writes for a soap again. She was one of the BDWs I found to be weak. Now, her posting behavior continues to be appalling.

It's entirely up to you. I have no reason to believe you when you say you have evidence of something but you will not show it.

Congratulations!!! Today makes 48, hard won, battled for, you did it though. Today's show! OMG! Natalia is even worse than I ever imagined! Whatever you do in the privacy of your room, don't tell yourself that it is love! Not only a bigot but an idiot, a moron, I have no words for the level of her stupidity! Plus, she actually thought that Kristina is a fan who got carried away with Blaze. I have never been as glad to see anyone as I was Kristina when she walked into the control booth. But, then, Finn knocking back shots. He is in a world of trouble. And, I liked Blaze's song.

ALL: Who do you think would be a good writer for the remaining soaps?
I would add 2 names. Nancy Curlee Demorest Dorell Anthony But, I still think Toups has the best idea. Either Culliton/Culliton/Culliton or Hall/Simon. I've got fans in my forum who seriously want someone to mount a campaign to get Patrick Mulchahey to replace Josh Griffith at Y&R. I basically wished them well. No way was I about to do what they wanted me to do. I suspect with as much poor HWing as we have that there is an underlying reason, maybe network interference.

Ratings From the 90's
Thanks so much!!! So, that day PC was on twice. Regular, 12:30, half hour, end of "Naked Eyes." Then AMC came on. Then PC came on again, for an hour, the beginning of "Surrender". Then GH came on. And, the ratings jump for the special episode, was from 1.7 to 3.0.
