(I'm kidding. "BaG" is a good suggestion, DeeeDee.)

Let's say Kim Delaney wasn't busy at the moment and Brian Frons offered her practically the world to return to AMC. How, in the name of mother Dixie (Cooney), could anyone explain Jenny Gardner not being dead all these years? Tony Barclay, who rigged the jet-ski to kill Greg, abducted Jenny from the hospital and allowed everyone to believe she had passed away, then spent years building a life - and possibly, a family - with the poor dear, pretending to be man and wife, with Jenny unable to remember the truth?

Yeah. Right. :lol:

Reminds me of that move "Soapdish," where the producer wanted to bring back from the dead someone who'd been decapitated. He keeps pushing that agenda, and Whoopi Goldberg, playing the HW, finally responds "HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD!" LOL. Yeah, not sure how they'd explain Jenny's reappearance. Anyway, I doubt Frons is angling to bring anymore beloved icons back at this point. I love Darnell and Debbi, but they haven't exactly been ratings gold (if anything they've merely kept the show from sinking further), and the Andrea Evans/Susan Haskell returns on OLTL don't seem to be having any real effect so far. And of course the Dixie return was a major fiesta-del-fiasco.

I agree with a lot of the previous responses. Assuming she'd really want to come back, which I would wonder why because it seems her career has been doing fine since then, the "gimmicks" they would have to use have been done to death (no pun intended) and fairly recently. Plus, the only people to whom it would really matter would be Greg, who's gone, Jesse, Tad and Opal (and I liked Dorothy Lyman's version better than this Opal as bubblehead version). But the gimmicks: coming back from the dead-done with Jesse; ghostly visit-Tad had it with Dixie; dreaming of growing old together-again Tad and Dixie (plus Greg isn't even around anymore). Even the idea of a Jenny lookalike...that was done not long after Jenny's death. If they were going to do any one of those ideas, it seems like the time has passed--Greg is gone, Jesse and Tad have survived their life and death crises...there's no reason.

Damn if KD returns to daytime, she must of really fell off in hollywood. :lol: I don't know many big name stars that go from hollywood to soaps, besides AA actors because its really hard for them to find work on the big screen and television, well work that makes a big impact.imo

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
