I totally see what you are saying. But it's like when I see Noah and Luke, IMO they always seem to play the damsel in distress thing with one another.

Noah is sad about this, Luke is sad about that. blah, blah, blah...

Luke reminds me of a watered down version of Justin from QAF and Noah reminds me of a watered down Mikey. I think that's where the problem lies when I am watching them. Now I know that these are two totally different shows, BUT, I don't feel like their personalities compliment one another. I think this is one of the main reasons a lot of viewers on here, including myself think it would be interesting if another gay character came into play to rock their little worlds.

The thing is, I would really enjoy Luke a hell of a lot more if he was running around doing all this good stuff for gays like he is trying to do with the foundation, but at the same time, trying to find love and acceptance from a guy who has totally different morals and opinions on things. Someone to totally contrast with Luke's ideals about life. It would be more compelling IMO if Luke were chasing after a guy who is a little older, a guy who is polished, professional, who doesn't care what the world thinks, someone who is selfish and really, really, f'ing hot. A man who is confident to know he can lay anyone he wants, whenever he wants. And he gets so much pleasure out of torturing Luke, because he knows Luke wants him so much, and he loves the chase.

The same thing goes for Noah. It would be more interesting if he were paired with another gay character, but unlike the one I described for Luke's, someone who is like a party boy, like all around circuit boy who loves to get wild, doesn't think about the consequences, get's in a lot of trouble, and Noah always has to bail his ass out, but they see something in one another.

I think to liven Luke and Noah up a bit too, they need to explore other gay issues that can effect their lives. For example, what I described for Noah, he can get involved with a sketchy circuit boy who loves to party and when I say party I mean ski and this character could have participated in a lot of promiscuity, protected and unprotected. Noah and he could have sex, a condom could break, it would rock Noah's entire world. It could affect Luke too because it could make Luke question his desire for the guy I described for him. Fortunately, I would hope that everything would turn out for the better for all of these guys, but it all brings more depth and reality to their respective characters.

I always saw Luke with an older man. Brian was a little too old, but I think a great story would be Luke hitting the city, discovering party boy land, drinking a lot, getting promiscuous and crashing and burning until Brian comes back into his life and straightens him out. I don't know if that would lead to romance but it would certainly make for compelling television.

As for Noah, I don't know if I would pair him with a party boy or just leave the show, LOL. He really just seems to exist for Luke.

Nice post. IMO...Luke is becoming too much like Noah. Both characters are now wishy washy...downers....so boring as a couple. One character needs to be more dominate. Both are poor as me attitude. Which makes for a boring pairing to watch on screen.

I was enjoying the dynamics between Brian and Luke. But then the story ended so quickly without fully developing the story. It is a shame that both Brian's and Luke's coming out started well but ended with a big thud.

Emily has four cousins, quadruplets, and they were all born circa 1984. With the appropriate SORASing, the show could easily introduce one of those quads at a guy in his late 20s/early 30s. It would be two birds with one stone for me: getting Luke in an interesting relationship and revitalizing the Stewarts.

You are just full of good ideas on this, I'm loving it!

Bringing on a Stewart is perfect. It would be a legacy character and like you said, it would revitalize the Stewart's. And Emily could be like a fag hag or fruit fly. I can totally see her getting down with her cuz, trying to find some potential guys for him, and then Luke comes prancing in.

Then we can still have that David Lago character lurking around the corner, waiting to just swoop in and catch his prey.

I could always see Carly hanging out with a guy who is her gay bff. That would be entertaining.

That's because they both suck at life.

Too bad MADD Dawg isn't Executive in Charge of Production anymore. I bet she would have canned him 2 years ago and JP if her position wasn't eliminated in 2005.

I bet Wendy Riche would be a good EP for ATWT. MADD Dawg should have gotten Linda Gottlieb for GL instead of Conboy in 2003.

Say what you will about MADD (and she deserves a lot of it), but NO WAY would she choose personal loyalty over falling ratings. They would have been out.

Not saying the people who replaced them wouldn't have made matters worse. But there's no way she would have held on to anybody whose numbers fell that much.

That's what I was saying above. They would have been gone by 2007. Maybe 2006 the earliest.

And like I also said above, I wish that she choose to replace Rauch with Linda Gottlieb. I think she would have really, really helped GL.

I haven't thought about what HW she would hire, but I know she would turn it into a critically acclaimed soap (like it used to be), just like she did with GH.

If Gottlieb became EP of GL in 2003, I think she would have held onto Millie Taggart.

    • Dear God in Heaven (/KatherineChancellor), maybe blazer is the wrong word - I’m just saying André needs to wear baggy clothes or larger sizes cause he’s a short king and the sizes they’ve chosen for him make him look smaller and shorter than necessary

      btw he’s not even that young, must be around Martin’s age…
    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
