And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings.

Well Disney owns the archive of all ABC soaps plus Santa Barbara. There are no known plans for Disney to do anything at all with the archive. Some of us are very excited because GH has done modern digitizing of original scenes of young Lucky & young Liz to use as flashbacks now & the past few months. Jerome Dobson last year teased that Santa Barbara might be streamed sometime. It had been tied up in some litigation & that is over now. The reason Disney owns it: it was owned by New World. FOX bought them. Disney bought all of FOX. The people I know who have episodes that they do not upload do it because they themselves sell not as you are suggesting that others might sell. They have a cottage industry that they are protecting. Now I am not speaking of Stacy. All she charges is to cover costs. And she doesn't in any way try to restrict episodes from being widely shared with fans.

THANKS!!! So much!!

Very very well said!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️🤝👍👍👍🤌 I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns. And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.

I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!

Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.

Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists. 5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester Now for my comments. Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

OH. The AMC/OLTL Crossover with helicopter, down in the woods, 2 very pregnant, both give birth, only one baby lives. We are on the same page!!!

Surely that was a joke. Why would anyone seriously ask if Dani had any rooms besides having a bedroom? MOST of the time when we see her, she's in that open, airy, white room with her kitchen far stage left & there's an island & a love seat. I have meant to post to say how taken I was with Eva last Thursday. You don't know it but I have not really gotten into either Eva or Leslie/Sheila/Anna/Dana/Mom in the same ways or degrees most of y'all have. With "Many Names" I get that it's quite a challenge to play that evil & that crazy without becoming cartoonish & she hasn't, so there is that. But, I do not see layers or nuance. I also do not fault the actress. If the gray tones are not there on the page, I don't expect to see them ripped out of thin air. With Eva there were so many questions. Now most have been answered.

Dani would.

No, very different. Edit to Add: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lowrkms6oc2e

In my usual video hosting site, account name: shallotpeel, video title: GH 2-17-21 Denise Alexander's last appearance And, she is there to take names & kick as* when the offending party is Cyrus Reneau at a time when he was about to use GH to push drugs. "You're responsible for putting my granddaughter in a coma! How can you sleep at night?"

https://archive.org/details/soapworld00lagu SOAP WORLD by Robert LaGuardia has some very early story descriptions. This is a copy in the Internet Archive that is borrowable, like a library book, for free. If you don't have an acct there, you'll need to register for a free one. Then just log in, click BORROW & begin to read. One caveat: It's been years since I looked at any of LaGuardia's books. No idea if they contain errors. There's also quite a lot about Gloria Monty "saving the show". That, of course, is later, 1978 & following, but I mention it in case you're interested. Hope this helps!

Matt Ashford/Jack Deveraux in drag. Yes, I looked & did not find him in drag but I did find him in a very outlandish disguise. Would that interest you or does it have to be drag?

Writing for the soaps by Rouverol, Jean Publication date 1984 Topics Television soap operas Publisher Cincinnati, Ohio : Writer's Digest Books https://archive.org/details/writingforsoaps00rouv/page/n15/mode/2up There are 2 books by former soap opera writer Jean Rouverol, WRITING FOR THE SOAPS & WRITING FOR DAYTIME. Basically it is the same book with two different covers & one may be hardback & the other quality softback. Excellent book. Out of print but available, but very expensive. Like $150.00. It appears that this is like a library book. You have to sign up here, register, have an account. Log into it. Click BORROW. Read as much as you like for your first session. Come back & repeat for second session. Apparently it will renew as long as you continue to use it. She & her husband were also victims of the Blacklist. However, the book is not political.

@MaximI sing this in my head so dang often!!!!

I feel very privileged to accept this very prestigious award on behalf of the cast, crew & staff of General Hospital. It's been a long time coming & everyone here & in Los Angeles is very proud to be honored by you. When so many people come together without ego in collaboration while maintaining their own personal integrity ... Teamwork is not just a word at General Hospital, it's a way of life & I'm very grateful to be working with all these people. Our hosts, Deidre Hall, Leeza Gibbons & Robert Kelker-Kelly wished everyone a good night!

Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together?

But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.

Happy Mother's Day 2025!
