GL Tribute

I thought we could use a thread as a tribute over the next several months (so if a mod could do me the favor and pin this thread). Linking videos, posting transcripts, memories. I don't think we should cloud this thread with talk of how bad it got and the misadventures that brought it to that point and focus on the pleasant memories and stories. I think GL in general deserves that much.

Beautiful idea, Dan. I am sorry you lost your show.

Is it dumb to hope someone might interview Lorraine Broderick or Nancy Curlee and ask them to reminisce about their time with GL? And all others who were involved in this show's history?

I think you should message her! I'm sure she won't think you're a stalker. She's bright enough to differentiate between genuine fans of the show and the deluded. OMGZ HOW COULD U KILL [insert character name here] DIE BITCH DIE!!!!11111!!!!! etc.

Great idea, Dan.

In the summer of 1966, I discovered the fascinating world of soaps. GL and AW were my soaps of choice. They became my summer family. I watched them grow as I grew. You leave the nest when you go to college, but they stayed with me. Along the way, I met Ryan's Hope and Days. Ryan's Hope became The City. AW left and I mourned. I still mourn. Now GL. I can't fathom the loss. There will be a hole in my day. (I watch on DVR when I get home from work )Through all the good and the bad, I hung in there. I yelled, laughed, cried. Nola and Quint; Morgan and Kelly, The Bauers, Spauldings, Reardon's, Coopers, Santos, Chamberlins, Marlers; all members of my family. I just don't have words to express the regret I feel.

This thread would not be complete without a tribute being paid to "Hold On To Love." Everytime I watch this clip, it makes me smile. The song alone brings back not only great memouries of watching GL, but great memories in my life in general. It's rare to have any sort of connection to a piece of theme music, but "Hold On To Love" does it for me. God bless Robert Calhoun for picking this song.

This theme arguably defined GL over the past 18 years or so.

    • I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat) and I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of the family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying or whatever.
    • Hahaha. It was worth a try. Alas. 
    • There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!
    • Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. There's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).
    • Brandon said that a couple of months ago, and MVJ replied in agreement.  I'm intrigued.
    • So many of the problems stem from there being one main family. As a result, Vernon and Anita don't have contemporaries to interact with which leaves them primarily as talk-to's. If and when they bring on her bandmates, it would benefit them to establish at least one as a main character with a family. If they ever brought on Jacob's mom, she could be another person that Anita could regularly interact with.
    • And in the Oct. 25, 1985, episode, a pre-fame Tony Shalhoub.
