victoria foxton Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Off the top of my head. The Susan Piper story. ( Hilary getting blown up. Susan falling into a vat of quicksand.) Maureen and Fletcher being presumed dead in Beirut. And the climax of the Infinity story. All had action/adventure elements.

Members TVFAN1144 Posted January 2, 2023 Members Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’m thinking they could have honored Charita Bauer like the excellent way Young and Restless did with Jeanie Cooper where actors and family reminisced with clips. They could have then had previous actors come back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted January 3, 2023 Members Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have never seen another soap despise its history and legacy the way 80s GL did. All these bigger than life changes might be needed in a problematic soap like AW or SFT, but GL was just fine the way it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted January 13, 2023 Members Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think GL was due for an update by 1983, and I think the 1st 18 months of Pam Long's 1st tenure was pretty good. A nice balance of Bauers, Reaedons, Spauldings, and Lewis'. Fall of 1984 the structure started changing and by the end of 1985, it was a new show. An interesting show, but not the GL of before. The 2nd tenure in 1988 to 1990 was much stronger (and even used some of the history to boot). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted January 13, 2023 Members Share Posted January 13, 2023 I started liking GL again once Robert Calhoun took over in 1989. I don't think that the show needed such a drastic update in 1983. Another World was in much worse shape before Allen Potter, so was Search. GL didn't deserve the trashy Lewis and Shayne families, Jesse, Simon, Jackson, Suzette, Warren, Kurt and all the others. I will never understand how Pamela Long convinced people to let her turn a long running and successful soap into Texas 2.0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 14, 2023 Members Share Posted January 14, 2023 Robert Calhoun laid all the groundwork for GL's early 1990s golden era but JFP ended up getting all the credit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted January 15, 2023 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2023 By the time the 90's rolled around, you had remnants of the Bauer, Reardon, Lewis, Shayne , Spaulding and Cooper families on the canvas, so it was a wonder that anything cohesive made it onscreen. Introducing 4 new families in a decade was not in the best interests of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) One of the best things. About watching these two episodes was that Jeva don't feel played out. Like they did in the late 90's and 00's. You really see the chemistry between Zimmer and Newman. Without it being corrupted by years of bad stories. I forgot that Reva and Dinah were friends. I don't remember them ever interacting later on. Even with Cassie and Dinah being bitter rivals. Continuity mistake When Dinah mentioned meeting Reva the summer before. When it was two summers before. When everyone in town was working at HB's summer camp. Edited January 15, 2023 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
