Oh, I agree. Julie Harris was just :wub::wub::wub: here. And how profound that the final shot after he's dead pans up to the billboard that says "A better tomorrow". Joshua Rush was such an unusual character for a nightime soap, like a twisted version of Ken Olin's character on Falcon Crest. I remembe the episode where Laura got in Joshua's face because of how he was treating Cathy, and he pushed her down. And when he told Val her babies died as a punishment from God... he was sick.

Yall have seen this, right? I think I found it through SON, but it's worth adding to this thread:

I don't know whether to laugh or take it seriously because while they aren't great, those dudes are gooooood. I'm convinced the Val actor is Van Hansis.

"Ennn Metheeeson" kills me.

Who was that throwing Anne's clothes out? I can't remember.

Some great scenes there. One underrated gem (Olivia's meltdown -- even better was the campy yet riveting scene where Abby makes Olivia see the damage done after Brian is beaten up). I tend to not care for stuff that is so overly self-congratulatory and feels false, like Val's "me me me" speech at Laura's funeral or Karen's "Pollyana" speech. You stop seeing characters.

I love the person playing Donna Mills. There's no similarity to Donna but he just goes for it, and that makes it work.

Oh, goodness Khan... you might be surprised what people re-enact in the privacy of their homes and telephone conversations, etc.. and yes, sometimes there are costumes involved. I was just thinking about this scene today, this is in my top 3 faves from the entire series:

Either that or had Kiss crash the stage and watch Karen try to prove she's "down with the kids" by hooking up with special guest star Gene Simmons. Gene loves Karen and wants to make her their new singer but she can't leave her family! The episode is a heartbreaker, but it ends on a positive note...Karen is watching a news report of their next concert, and at the end, Gene tells everyone to get that ERA ratified!!

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • 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.
