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 see people saying this a lot but I always thought both things were plot points with a specific purpose. Martin running for president (something that would've been years down the line) was just to give us an opportunity to learn about his secret and that it involves Anita and Vernon. Naomi's lawsuit was used to develop her relationship with Bill and highlight his health issue. Those cases are almost always settled out of court so I didn't find anything odd about that, it was all about Naomi and Bill. I do wonder if Mike might've had better chemistry with Jen Jacob. At this point I feel he's right there with Derek in terms of being a weak link. He's a better actor but he doesn't have chemistry with anyone. These are the two characters I really hope they get a handle on in coming months.
    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
    • Yes; plus, it's supposedly the home of the trauma Alexis experienced when they were in that storyline, etc., a.k.a., another recycled and redressed set. Wouldn't surprise me, especially since Melgar did the "GH Live!" episodes and those weird-ahh outros we got. Although, given that Melgar has been more aligned with the views of ex-Jax, part of me feels like she wouldn't be asked back.  Probably because of Luke, and if Laura accepts Sonny, then the audience automatically will, too. I mean, because she does means you do, right?! Right?!
    • Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons.  I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.
    • Of course. With my luck Frank would probably bring Lily back from the dead and pay Lilly Melgar to do a cameo with Sonny instead though.

      Seriously, I know I am late to the party, but why are Sonny and Laura bff?  They've always been friends or friendly although I never considered them to be super-duper close.  I always thought Laura mostly tolerated him for Luke's sake.  The way the show is pretending they've had this decades long tight knit friendship is just weird and OTT.  
    •   It's just so much fun!   She really was what made the show come together. I remember thinking what a mistake it was to write her out temporarily. I wonder how I'll feel during this rewatch, but I'm fairly certain her absence contributed to the show ending after season 5.
    • Thank you @Paul Raven The Kay/Kill stuff sounds like fire.   @soapfan770 I saw someone asking about old episodes you had... in case anyone has old tapes but not a VCR, DM me, I am willing to convert them for free.
    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things
