Can someone tell me who Aidan's second message was for? There was Leora and then one other but I couldn't see the name....I'm guessing Erin?

I think that was the best part, everyone that got included. For once TPTB weren't being pricks. They included Edmund while we know he got the Cady/Dixie "Edmund who?" treatment when he left. They didn't try to avoid mentions of Dixie. They even remembered Julia has parents!

It was Erin.

And I think that was all Amanda Beall's doing. She always is respectful of history and remembering the past. We got Grandma Kate, Hector Santos, Jenny and Noah! Those are impressive...let alone the Edmund, Harold, Trevor, Leora ones.

I have no complaints at ALL - but I was sorta hoping Ryan was around that scene too so he could have made Gillian a Valentine. That would have been the cherry on top - but I understand the Ryan/Annie thing had to be done.

Does anyone remember if the ratings for the 9/11 episode jumped at all? I don't think they did if I remember correctly :(

I really really hope AMC gets good numbers for today and they get a clue. Since it wasn't really hyped at all it probably won't happen though.

Jenny is Tad's sister, and Opal's daughter. She was part of a powerhouse supercouple back in those days (Greg and Jenny) - but was surprisingly and sadly killed on a jetski accident. It was shocking and every mother cried for weeks after that. Opal just mentioned her the other day.

Noah was Julia's first husband - they were a hugely popular interracial couple in the 90's. They had to go into the Witness Protection Program and unfortunately we found out Noah was killed when Julia was brought back in 2005.

Ah yes they did forget someone...Gillian. But I didn't even think of it until you mentioned it, which is odd since she crossed my mind several times when Ryan was showing Annie around the estate.

I thought it was funny when Ryan mentioned the stables had been re-built (post shovel to the head and fire). The set is exactly the same lol.

I hope so too!

I remember being disappointed in the 9/11 ratings - I think it only jumped maybe .1 or .2 at the most. I remember people saying that it was bc it wasn't hyped and no one knew about it.

But when they replayed the 9/11 episode on Thanksgiving (I think that was the day) - they got at least .5 - .6 higher ratings than the other soaps playing an episode that day. The #1 rated soap episode that day.

Oh and Amanda Beall did the entire 9/11 episode herself too ;)

Did anyone who let the balloons go, know Gillian? Cause it makes sense if they didn't. I mean, I don't see AMC leaving Gillian off, and remembering Harold the Dog, unless the people who were there, didn't really know her. If Ryan was there and they didn't, I'd be a little pissed, to say the least.LOL

    • Elements of it were silly, but it was a small price to pay to get Zas back. I should say there's a difference between in town and out of town returns. It's understandable for Roger to skulk around town in a bad wig and clown suit when he's in Springfield and running the risk of bumping in to people he knows.  Taking us out of town to find someone always has a short shelf life. Then it usually becomes about another character knowing X is alive but determined to keep them out of Springfield. Like Alan discovering Amish Reva. I don't know how long it went on, but it was probably twice as long as necessary.
    • Elizabeth Dennehy complained on the Locher Room about how ridiculous so much of the writing was for Roger's return. She laughed at so much of Roger's antics and how it was hard for her to take them seriously. Probably another reason she was fired as she didn't play the game.  
    • Only thing I enjoyed was Abby / Olivia, etc., and the addiction storyline. Otherwise, I could do without the season.
    • Right? Vanessa had a ball gown for every occasion.
    • Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.
    • He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.
    • Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.
    • It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.
    • Just started the May 27 episode and first thing I see is that Willow got an ugly haircut since hte last time i watched   I dont have the context for how everthing went down but I know its all Lulu's fault which make her a bish for what she did to Gio
    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
