It's the "Actors who were woefully miscast in their roles, and therefore forgettable, or actors who played irrelevant characters who added nothing to TGL in the first place" reunion LOL I'm joking. It's the Boudreaux family. I think that cool anecdotes can come out of these random reunions, even if the participants had minor roles. However I'm just dreading the tech errors that might have taken place this time (I suffer from secondhand embarrassment). Maybe I'll check it out tomorrow. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I do understand his POV but still. Things like the Zaslow firing happened almost 30 years ago. P&G has long forgotten about this and nobody cares - except for us. I don't see the harm really.

Did anybody catch today's reunion? Was anything remotely interesting said? (this is me blatantly trying to save me 1 hour of my time haha) I find it a bit annoying that Alan tries to keep it so PC. When Denise Pence had the courage to bring up Zaslow, finally something really compelling was being addressed. There was no need to dance around it because the fans were quite eager to get into details in the comments. The people who tune in for these things are die-hard fans and they are already disillusioned to the BTS drama. @antmunoz Yes, they were saying in the comments that the woman was Peggy Fletcher.

I am watching a Portuguese miniseries titled A Herdade (the Homestead). It’s unbelievably good. Unfortunately it’s only available in Portuguese right now but HBO has bought off the rights and they’ll make a US version as soon as they can.

If you search a few pages back, some posters were discussing how GL became unrecognizable by the early 80s. It was very interesting

I agree! As icky as the premise of the storyline was, it helped reignite a feud. In my mind I rationalized it thinking that those women were just looking for an excuse to fight because they hated each other so much. The excuse just happened to be Victor's jizz! lol Knowing Bell's style, I'm 100% that Alden (under Bell's supervision) was going to go for a major custody battle between Victor and Brad over Abby. Imagine the legal details they would have been able to splash around, given how Abby was conceived. The writers used to love those back then. Obviously the new writing team (headed by Jack Smith) was not interested, or talented enough, to go there. As for the potential conflict of having a half-Abbott and half-Newman in Abby and a half-Abbott, half-Jenkins in Kyle, the possibilities were endless! They hinted at some conflict with Abby during Sussman and Alden's 2017 tenure (because of course they knew what they were doing) but as we know, they were not given time to develop anything. There was the infamous lab fight floating around a few months ago. Can't find the clips any longer. So frustrating! Maybe they were included in some hidden playlist? I'm appalled at the thought that MTS and ES might be the cause behind AD's departure. I just can't with those two. In a way they're extremely talented and irreplaceable. But they must have been quite a duo to deal with over the years. I saw the scene between Nikki and CarlyDiane. MTS was lifeless and bored to death. Can't blame her.

He's also dealing with a bunch of older people who are not familiar with technology. I was amazed at Denise Pence's participation: her shot was perfect, she had flowers next to her, her audio was absolutely perfect and so was her picture. The woman is doing everything she can to start acting again. Even if she can be intense at times, I find her so inspiring. I wish her the very best.

I loved this reunion! The technical issues were annoying but lots of ground was covered.

Thanks! That was really sweet.

AD put her stamp on a role that she had been playing for decades and no one else could play Diane Jenkins. It was insulting that they would even recast. Fun fact: I've just found out that AD was born in Frankfurt, Germany as Alexandra Antonia Mayo.

I never really took the time to watch the story from start to finish but I think I read multiple times over here that it got really messy and it was apparent that the writers did not know where to go with the storyline. That they were making things up as they were going along. Was Pam Long the head-writer at the time? Wonder what inspired that story.

Woah. I feel so bad she went through that. Makes you realize the impact TPTB have with their constant, reckless comings and goings.

This is so interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time

Thanks! I'm sure I read the interview at the time but then completely forgot about it over the years. I also think that with the amount of content that was added on YT in the last decade, Curlee's tenure has obtained renovated visibility and recognition.

Hahah that's good to know! I also think that prior to 2002 they used to have add more shade to the Amerigo font but maybe it was my TV set.

Me too! And I think Nancy Curlee was equally young at the time she was head writing the show. Has anyone ever thought about contacting Long or Curlee on social media for an interview?

I love this! You even used the right font for the text on screen! Amazing.

The Dobsons and Pam Long from SB's last episode. It's always cool to put a face to a name.

Such a wholesome group of actors. It's sad that the writing was not there for the Santoses. You introduce a Hispanic family and you make them mobsters? With no research whatsoever on mob families in order to make it believable? Sorry, that never works. I missed Joie's first few minutes. What did she say about the cloning storyline?

Oh God... I never thought about it in those terms. You must be so right.

That was perfection!

LOL! I do get a Bruce Wayne & Dick Greyson vibe off them. Plus Austin was awfully interested in Victor's love affairs...!

They did want to get out of the business after all...

Oh cool! Thanks.

Woah... I always found it strange there was no rumor about BE and RPG (as far as I know at least). Or is RPG gay? I also find it strange that RPG hasn't joined any of these reunions, either for GL or AW. I found him hot on AW but could not care about him anywhere else.
