  1. Taylor Swift has got me thinking. I belong to a subset of people defined by what we did not do or see or be or the like. So, Taylor Swift, no interest. Game of Thrones didn't see it. The Sopranos didn't watch. The Titanic knew what happened so skipped it. Anyone else here one of this subset?
  2. You were correct. Lullaby Massacre is the end of May 12, 1995 & specifically begins at 58:00. The VintageNoSpintage collection's example is of course a full episode.
  3. They call James Harmon Brown "Jimmy" too. And, friends & colleagues of Hogan Sheffer's call him "Hogie"! Who knew?!!
  4. Eh, good PR. He did well especially since it sounds like he was caught unawares! If he hadn't managed as well, I'd be furious. He did well & I'm yawning. We soap fans are monsters.
  5. I just posted this same story from the Locher Room chat not 2 days ago! Only I included Curlee referring to him as "Jimmy".
  6. And both complete! Unlike so many other classic soaps gone to history due to tape wiping and other limitations of the times. Apparently DAYS lost one early season, possibly the second year, to a warehouse fire. AMC & OLTL also suffered losses due to a shared warehouse fire. Apparently 5 early seasons. Just a little bitty question, ... GH Spotlight began with 2018. Y&R's classic channel began with 2018. Wtheck was special about 2018?!!
  7. Wow! Thank you so much! I didn't mean you had to URL me up!!! But, fabulous that you did. Just got back from an appt. & watched both. I had seen neither of them. Awesome! Who was EP then? Riche? With Guza? Watching Lullabye now.
  8. What a pair! Good Grief! Just asking for a debacle!
  9. I know nothing is more famous than Clink Boom but I don't remember it which makes me think I didn't see it. Tell me about Amazing Grace?
  10. Just going to say that Mulcahey will be the primary with Korte tasked in a way with assisting him.This works out well because being HW is not something Korte wants but assisting & contributing even collaborating, well that is right up her alley!
  11. Thank you! I know & am so excited to get to see it again!!! You didn't see it when it originally aired? I did. Nothing like I ever saw before or since! Amazing!
  12. Yeah, that was my aim. I just started & went till I had to stop. Knew I would be missing lots! I have a similar list on the Dobsons. They were somewhat easier because I could list, for example, the whole original cast of Santa Barbara. This is more difficult, by a large margin!
  13. Gee, what a coincidence! I posted this lovely picture of the lovely Eva LaRue & lo & behold she's playing Natalia, Blaze's mama on GH! They certainly couldn't have found a more beautiful first obstacle!
  14. My first thought & I cannot believe we don't know their status yet! Although it was well-written and acted as Julie recalled them, speaking first of photo albums being gone & then, all of a sudden it hit her, THE ORNAMENTS! I was surprised that it came up. After their morning after mutual regret, I thought we might be done with it. Glad we are not. Love Wendy's good deed that is going against her lover's mother. Now that is a soapy statement! Another extra sexy love scene. I approve!
  15. So, GH is missing here?
  16. I am one fan who believes that NBC and P&G were in a protracted battle over the show. NBC at various times wanted to kill the show, run it off the air, cancel it, own it, turn it into DAYS Jr., etc. I want to get better ratings than the annual ones that can be found on wikipedia, in Schemering, at AWHP, but with those annual figures we have 72-73 3rd 9.7/33 30 73-74 2nd 9.7/32 30 74-75 2nd 9.7/31 30 75-76 2nd 8.9/30 60 76-77 2nd 9.0/29 60 77-78 2nd 8.6/28 60 78-79 8th 7.5/25 60/90 Mar. 5, 1979 first 90 min. show And, I figure that they fought about the 90 minute show for several months, so I still peg it as the reason the bottom fell out. And, there's nothing at all disgraceful about a 7.5/25, anyway. Also, Pete Lemay character creation: Amanda, Sharlene, Josie, Sally, Willis, Sven, Janice, Emma, Iris, Elliot, Dennis, Olive, Brian, Robert, Tracy, Gil, David, Larry, Clarice, Gwen, Louise, Beatrice, Vivienne, Angie, Joey, Rose, Eileen, and Blaine Who did I miss?
  17. But it's true! Jill was there for 11!!!! Jill typically is at a show for 3-4 yrs!
  18. No, please do not stifle your instinctual responses. Sometimes you are just the perfect hammer for that nail waiting to be, on the nose, drilled in!
  19. I have no problem agreeing to disagree. Just a regular thing. Personally I think Finola is both a beautiful woman & a gifted actress & one whom I believe works at her craft. She taught a graduate course in Acting this past year. I have no problem with her hair. (Or Tracy's, Laura's & Genie's) If others do, that's okay, their thing is their thing.
  20. LML = Shock & Awe entered the vocabulary of soap fans! Is it accurate that they now are only shown in 8 foreign countries? Labine/Riche is the sweet spot for GH for me! And we really dodged a bullet with Chris & Dan's last script, that was tossed. But I think they weakened the show. Pace, balance, stakes, pay-off. Peter too long a villain. Willow's leukemia also too long & entirely dependent on dumbing down eventually everyone but initially Willow herself. Babyitis & paternity contagion. Personally I've come to doubt whether they even should have been promoted from within. And, that's not even listing my personal pet peeve which is making up the conclusion as you go along! Liz's family, Hook once right handed, later left-handed, etc. There's nothing wrong with specific constructive criticism! And, I, too am guardedly optimistic. 🤞
  21. Just showing enthusiasm over a collaborative part of a thread, moving on, etc. Nothing weird.
  22. Every time I use the fingers crossed emoji that is me saying I have hopes for good writing from Mulcahey/Korte! 🤞
