No snark.

This is now seriously sad. Like the old lady who is dying in a nursing home...and no one visits....no one comes to the funeral. She's outlived her generation.

Pathetically sad. Imagine that poor Pittsburgh organizer, just sitting there alone in the early cold....

I'm as big a fan as anyone else. Afterall, who in their right mind would have a screen name like GL is No1. lol.

It's time to let GL go. It had a great run that no daytime drama will ever match. There is not another outlet like CBS who could ever invest in GL as a 5 day a week program.

I'll enjoy GL until the end and then move on. The show ran its course.

The question that I have is where were all the GL fans who live in NY and Pittsburgh who post the boards how great GL is and that it should not be canceled? This is why the networks do not take online soap fans seriously.

I'm really shocked about the numbers. It's like each person should have committed to bringing one other person, and so on, and so on.

Honestly, the low turnout at these events, in some strange way, maybe have harmed daytime more than helped. Because network execs see this and say "see how puny and pathetic the crowds are...we can do whatever we want, and nobody will muster up the energy for a response."

If I were a network and I wanted to cancel, say, ATWT...the whole weakness of the "save GL" movement would, unfortunately, embolden me.

Wow... that is so sad. Interesting, too, because 4 years ago I went to GL's Superstar Saturday event at the Kings Dominion in Virginia and was surprised there were so many other GL'ers out there... Apparently they've given up watching or just don't care enough. Honestly, I don't either. The history and legacy of the show is amazing, and it'd be wonderful to see it in reruns, but its current state is just not worthwhile.

I think the bottom line for most people who love or have loved the show is that while it hurts that the show is going off the air, it's had 72 years. More than any series in the history of telvision. Quality aside, that's something to be celebrated. It's very hard to complain, protest or even actively oppose its demise. And by actively oppose- i mean rallying for its survival. isn't the last stage of grief acceptance? I look forward to that stage by GL's fans so they can just look fondly at all that GL has accomplished.

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....
