Members Khan Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 08:47 PM (edited) I didn't think so. Then again, I think I'm one of the few here who enjoyed GL throughout the '80's (with Johnny Bauer's cancer saga being the exception, lol). As I've said in the past, my enjoyment of all things GL doesn't really end until Nancy Curlee leaves as HW. For me, that's when GL slowly begins disintegrating. It rallies somewhat during the first half of James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esensten's run as HW, but by 2000 or so, I'm pretty much ready to call it a show.

Members alwaysAMC Posted Saturday at 09:25 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:25 PM YES!! Such a love letter to fans, I loved that season. I rarely ever find people out there that are big soap opera fans and also Star Trek fans haha. Love to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM No. Although for a time he did think that Eleni was pregnant with his child. (Marina turned out to be Frank's.) And he never has a child on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted Saturday at 09:35 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:35 PM Over the years I've known many who were both soap & SciFi fans but they were mostly guys. I'm female & an avid fan of both & Suzanne Lanoue of the TVMegasite is also. Springfielders, we promise not to stay off topic too long!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted Saturday at 09:42 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:42 PM I was just coming back to say that the show just answered my question haha - A-M said he's almost reaching 30 with no kids. I was even more surprised to hear he's not 30 yet, but running an entire company. Granted, it's a family business but still, that's a stretch haha. I assumed he was mid-30s. Sad to hear he never has children! LOL that's awesome. I'm a guy and all my friends either like Star Trek and sports or like soap operas and housewives, I just can't find a good mix of both Please register in order to view this content Out to dinner, so will have to pick back up on GL tomorrow! I'm up to March 31st, 1995 and the preemptions seem to have stopped, thankfully! Ready for April! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted Saturday at 09:49 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:49 PM ON OCCASION? Oh, honey....granted it was more after Reva's resurrection, but she never met a chunk of scenery she wouldn't chew. I swear, sometimes it was like Jay was ghostwriting Fletch's attempts at romance. 'Cause I can't recall any other character getting a crack at so many leading ladies. Although honestly, as much as I hate Fletch/Van, her snapping on him is one of my favorite Van moments EVER. I may be wrong, but I thought Mo's crush on Fletch started before Holly's return. Something about them working together on a radio show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted Saturday at 09:55 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:55 PM Alan-Michael was born onscreen in 1981 and was SORASed in 1987 to I think 17 or 18, so he would be 25 or 26 in 1995. Going by the ages of the Alan-Michael actors in the years they were cast, Carl Tye Evans was 19 in 1987 and Rick Hearst was 25 in 1990. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM Well, on GL, just being a Spaulding entitled you to head the business. Phillip runs it with about a semester's worth of college. A-M had a slightly harder road, Alex had picked Vanessa as president before she left in '92. Jenna (with Roger's help) takes Spaulding away from Vanessa and A-M (mostly thanks to A-M losing an important copy of a contract) in '93. When Spaulding's returned, A-M must get the presidency. As Vanessa was running Lewis Oil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Saturday at 11:15 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 11:15 PM I didn't mind Fletcher with Alex. I thought Jay and Beverlee worked well together. My main complaint about the pairing is how much focus went to Fletch wanting to keep Alex in line. This was even more of an issue with Marj's Alex. Still, I liked them well enough to where I was glad Alex left Springfield with him. It annoyed me when Beverlee was in the role that no one was a true ride-or-die for Alex (Marj's Alex was so OTT I couldn't be surprised). These days on soaps, you have characters like Phyllis on Y&R who could burn down an orphanage and still have Genoa City holding a rally for her. The pairing with Vanessa never made sense beyond the show needing to stall until they got Billy and Vanessa back together. The pairing with Holly made sense as a fling but not a permanent relationship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted Sunday at 12:11 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:11 AM They really should've bitten the bullet and brought in someone new for Vanessa. At the time, Fletch was really the only available male on the show. Billy wouldn't have been threatened by Ross, even though I would've loved a true Ross/Vanessa/Billy triangle. I can't even think of anyone GL could've brought back to be an also-ran. Justin might've made sense, if they hadn't recasted so badly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 12:17 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:17 AM I agree. This was one of the times Jill bringing in an FOJ might have made sense, although now I'm imagining a Vanessa/Buzz pairing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted Sunday at 12:43 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:43 AM STOP. IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner. Please register in order to view this content in trying to fantasy cast---Ian Buchanan. Can you see how pretty Ian and Maeve would be together? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 12:50 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:50 AM That would have been a great idea. Ian was mostly wasted on B&B (not even getting into his GH return). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted Sunday at 12:57 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:57 AM Buzz could be very sexy & he was always attuned to women, even more than men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted Sunday at 12:59 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:59 AM As P.J. said, Alan-Michael did think that Eleni was pregnant with his child. The child, Marina, was later aged and in a major case of ick factor, Alan-Michael and Marina hooked up around 2006-07. What were Wheeler and Kreizman thinking with such trash? And getting back to another post. Eve Guthrie was pregnant in 1995? I wasn't watching regularly at that point and didn't realize she was pregnant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
