Leave Andy alone!

I finally watched the July 1983 episode that is on Youtube, close to the end for Amanda and Hope. Elvera did a better job with the drunk Hope story than I thought she would have done; I wish they'd kept a darker Hope around instead of banishing her.

Did Amanda mention a child at all when she returned in 1995?

December 1981 Digest

Mimi Torchin once acknowledged that when she spoke with producer Gail Kobe, Kobe was of the opinion that story mattered much more than the characters. IMHO, she simply did not understand TGL, or its rich, character-based history. The damage she did to the series was immense.

Summer of 1992 promo featuring Gilly, Hampton and David at 2:12. I remember they did a bunch of these styled promos around this time (with Alan-Michael/Eleni/Frank, Harley/Mallet/Jenna and Nick/Mindy)

I didn't know India was only 21 when she came on the show.

For as much as I hated them killing off Maureen... it made for great, solid drama for a couple weeks but ultimately cost the show much more in the long run... Rachel's acting was flawless. She absolutely played the role like someone who had lost her own mother.

How she was overlooked for an Emmy nomination that year was criminal.

Ah, yes. The summer of '93. When Macauley West roamed the Earth.

November 1993 Update

Jill seemed to have a fondness and passion for GL, IMO. I know she made some bad moves, which she at least owned up for, but I just always get this feeling she thought highly of the show. Moreso than I felt at AW, GH and even OLTL, where I feel like OLTL wasn't all that terrible it was just a much different, darker, show. Anyway ...
