Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday, but Stacy Edwards (Hayley) turned the big 5-0 on Wednesday. She just did two episodes of Shameless for Showtime. Still looks great today!

Loving the discussion about 1985 SB, by the way. The whole lead-up to CC's collapse was great too. That last week of August where CC found out about Channing being Lionel and Sophia's son was the same week where Christie shot Steve by accident. That was one hell of a week...

Steve Bassett was SCARY. Rape or no, it's no wonder Christie was terrified of him. Every time he yelled and screamed, he even scared me a little. LOL Ashby Adams made a fantastic villain. Ironically, his real-life wife has the screen persona as one of the sweetest gals on classic TV - Linda Kaye Henning aka Petticoat Junction's Betty Jo Bradley.

Just love that stuff where Mary finally realise that he raped Christy. She was terrorfied by him when he started yelling on her. No wonder, he did an amazing job as Steve Bassett. I wish they would have kept Tricia on, she turned into such a wonderful actress on Y&R, same goes for Melissa Reeves. Jade Perkins just faded away, together with Laken and Christy that fall of 1985 (altough Laken returned for the christmas-episodes in 1985, and ofcurse in later years by Snyder and Danielson)

Ahh, yes! I believe i have some of those episodes uploaded to my youtube-account. That whole Halloween week where Gina plotted to kill him was some of the most intense stuff ive ever seen. The stuff where she duplicates Edens dress, prepare the wig, sets the clock back so Brandon wont get suspicious, and down to the whole plug-pulling. Such a terrific time. To bad this was the end for Linda Gibboney. She was such a dynamic and great actress. Ive always wondered what it would be like if they brought Robin Mattson in like a different caracter, and kept Linda as Gina. Would have been fireworks!

It would have been interesting had they kept Linda Gibboney on as Gina, maybe they could have cast Robin Mattson as her sister (there were said at one point to be several Blake siblings, including Summer and Mack). Interesting that they both played vixens on AMC (albeit at different times) as well.

SantaBarbaraNBC, have you found Episode 152 yet? (Sorry to be a nag - just curious.)

    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.
