Bumping this for tonight.

I could just imagine an 80-ish Reva chasing around teen Colin, as she's still acting like the vixen that all men desire.

I’m up to May 31, 1999.

The next day, Jesse tries to explain to an angry Drew why Selena lied to her, but Drew isn’t having it. She tells him that if Max knows the truth, he’ll run away and his life will be a mess again, and if Jesse can’t support her in that, she wants nothing to do with him. Max shows up and Jesse is about to tell him, but stops and instead says he’s proud of the good grade he got on his recent test. Drew thanks Jesse for his words, and Jesse privately tells Drew that he’ll keep her secret since he cares for her. Meanwhile, Selena is crying to Buzz and wants to leave SF and get away from her problems, but Buzz convinces her not to because people, like him especially, need her. But sadly, after he leaves, she writes him a note and when he returns, she’s gone and he reads her note that says she’s sorry for leaving but it’s the right thing for her to do and she’ll always cherish their special friendship. Buzz is sad and Harley arrives and consoles him, but he’s determined to go find her. He tells Harley the truth about Drew being Selena’s daughter, and Harley is upset to hear it. On her way out of town, Selena visits with Max and tells him to cherish his relationship with Drew and asks him to tell Drew that she loves her and to give her a gift. After she leaves, Drew comes home and Max tells her that Selena is a nice lady and wants her to know she loves her and he gave her the gift. She throws it away but then brings it back out of the wastebasket and realizes it’s the other half of that special necklace she gave her. Buzz goes to Drew/Jesse’s and he tells them that Selena left town, but Drew doesn’t care and says good riddance, which makes Buzz angry. Later, Max surprises Drew by changing his mother’s tombstone to include her name along with his as her loving children.

We then see Selena at a seedy dive bar and she runs into an old hooker friend who asks if she’s back to join them and she says yes, right where she belongs. She tells her friend about Drew and Buzz, but says that chapter is over and starts flirting with a sleazy man. The hooker friend makes a call to Buzz and tells him that Selena is about to make a bad mistake and he needs to get there. Selena then takes a guy to his car and they start to get really flirty, but she stops herself and says she can’t go through with it, which upsets him. Buzz arrives at the bar and sees them in the car and he pulls the guy out, saving Selena. Buzz eventually convinces Selena that too many people care about her to run away and she goes back home with him.

The doctor tells Abby and Rick that her test results came back and she’s a prime candidate for the surgery. He surprises them by saying someone canceled and they can do the procedure in a week, which starts to make Abby panic because it feels rushed. She says no, she’d rather wait the 6 months, and Rick isn’t happy about that.

Reva continues to be concerned about the ring and Josh realizes she hasn’t packed for their San Cristobel honeymoon. She tries to use the kids as an excuse for not wanting to leave, but Josh doesn’t buy it and gets upset, but eventually convinces her they’re going and will find out the mystery of the ring together. He then surprises her with a necklace but she has a vision of someone putting their hand over her mouth from behind and she gets spooked. Before she can say anything, Abby comes rushing in crying and telling them how afraid she is of making her important decision. Reva calms her down and reminds her that when they met, she didn’t even know real sign language, and this procedure will open up her world even more. Abby is encouraged and Reva surprises both Abby and Josh with the decision of skipping their honeymoon so they can be there for Abby as she goes through her surgery. Reva even calls Abby her best friend and she couldn’t be gone while she’s undergoing such a life changing moment. After Abby leaves, Reva apologizes to Josh and he says it’s ok, but after Abby has her procedure, they will be heading to San Cristobel once and for all.

Abby is at the hospital ready to get her cochlear implants, but the deaf lady from before that is against it shows up and makes Rick upset. Abby says it’s ok and she will listen to her, and eventually says she’s still going to do it and the lady wishes her the best of luck. Abby then goes into the operating room to have the procedure. While they wait, Michelle confides in Rick that she thinks Carmen staged the shootout to keep her away from Danny. Abby’s surgery is over and the doctor says it went well and she eventually wakes up and is excited about the possibility of hearing again.

While at the hospital supporting Abby, Reva talks to a doctor about San Cristobel and her recent dreams/visions and the doctor says she may have repressed memories. She suggests hypnotherapy which surprises Reva and she says she’ll talk to Josh about it. She later tells Josh and thinks they’re somehow distant memories from her time before Goshen while she was missing.

Michelle tries to find out how Danny is through Pilar, but Pilar tells her she needs to stay away now and let him do what he needs to do. Pilar has changed her tune a bit and wants to protect her mother and defends Carmen to Michelle. She says Carmen has changed and wants to turn their family reputation around to be positive, but Michelle says Carmen is just using her and is the same mob boss as always, which pisses off Pilar. Later, Bill brings Pilar flowers and tries to convince her that they should continue dating and he’s not scared of her family. He asks her to take a chance with him and she says she’ll think about it.

Danny is determined to find the person who wanted to kill Carmen. Meanwhile, Carmen meets with Ben and has a plan to allow Danny to kill someone who he thinks might have tried to kill her, but Ben doesn’t think the idea is good. Ben says he doesn’t do murder and Carmen thinks he’s soft. He stands his ground and says he’ll end their working relationship, but Carmen says once anyone is employed by the Santos family, they can never leave. Ben then gets up and leaves her, and Carmen later tells Dietz they may have to ‘take care’ of Ben, and one less lawyer in the world isn’t a bad thing. Danny shows up and Carmen plants a seed that she thinks Ben is to blame for her assassination attempt, which he starts to believe. We later see Carmen talking to Dietz about having her men and banks set up and ready to go in San Cristobel where they will do some money laundering. Wow, so more San Cristobel set-up here with the Santos family, interesting.

Ross and Cassie run into each other at the park and she tries playing matchmaker again for Blake/Ross. She said she noticed how nice they were together at the wedding, and now with Blake leaving Ben, it’s not hard to see that Ross and Blake still have feelings for each other. He laughs it off, but seems to think about it before leaving. Meanwhile, Ben runs into Blake at the Towers, who is talking to a reporter about Holly’s case. He offers Blake help because he knows the judge well, but she refuses. She does thank him though and they enter the elevator together, but he stops it so they can talk. He pressures her into knowing why she won’t take his help, and she says she doesn’t trust herself with him. He brings up their relationship and says she never really gave them a full chance because she could never commit 100%. He tells her that he quit working with Carmen and Blake is happy to hear it, but she warns him that Carmen isn’t someone he should cross. They get out of the elevator and run into Danny. Blake leaves and goes to Carmen’s table and wants a word, while Danny tells Ben to watch his back which makes Ben think Carmen is setting him up. Blake tells Carmen to leave Ben alone and Carmen makes a comment back that she’s still clearly not over him just as Ross walks up. Blake tells Ross she was defending Ben, but he doesn’t know the full story and he would applaud her for doing it. They talk and she explains everything and he understands and they leave on friendly terms. Meanwhile, Ben talks to Carmen and secretly records their conversation where she implicates herself in the plan. Later, Carmen and Danny go home and walk in as Pilar and Bill are making out, which angers Carmen. Pilar/Bill leave and Ben shows up and is frisked by their security and they find the tape that Ben made. Carmen makes Danny leave and she lays into Ben for recording and blackmailing her, but he’s cocky and says she messed with the wrong guy. He tells her he made multiple copies and if he dies, then Danny and Pilar will know her secret. So she later calls in Danny and tells him she lied about Ben and only wanted to hurt him because he was still in love with Blake and not her, so she wanted to make Danny think it was Ben who organized her assassination attempt. He asks who it could have been then, and Carmen says she has no idea, but Danny keeps thinking back to when Michelle told him she thinks Carmen set this whole thing up. Danny then says that he’ll get to the bottom of this and whoever it was, they’ll be sorry they were even born.

Carl said that he and Brad Pitt were friends and both auditioned for Alan-Michael.

Imagine Brad Pitt as Alan-Michael. I just can't picture that.

(Carl said Brad was the only blonde who had auditioned)

Oh wow! I can't picture it either. Maybe Dylan or Rusty, based on looks alone, although maybe he was too young for Rusty at the time.

Fun fact, Brad and I went to the same high school!

That's neat. I'm sure some teachers had stories...

By the time I was there, only a handful were still teaching and remembered him. Our English teacher said he was very quiet and shy, always sat in the back. I always found that to be interesting and unexpected.

Another tidbit (I hope the fans who like to talk about the old days can see this)

Someone in the chat mentioned that they used to talk to Elvera Roussel but haven't in years. They mentioned that CBS fought for Elvera when Kobe/Long wanted her out. CBS said she's promoting a movie for us (the TV-movie various GL actors were in at the time), give her 13 weeks. So Kobe/Long did. Then 13 weeks later they fired Elvera.

They mentioned that Elvera and John Wesley Shipp were going to return for GL's 60th in 1997. They said that Rauch stopped Elvera and John from returning.

I always wondered how Alan Michael would have fared had Carl stayed on beyond his initial three year contract. In the short term, the whole Blake/Alan Michael relationship/dynamic would have changed. When he was playing Alan Michael, Blake came across like a predator grooming her victim (sounds just like her father Roger).. but once Hearst took over and he carried himself off with more maturity.. the whole creepy predator vibe went away and it became about Blake's lie about being pregnant.. with Blake/Alan Michael having that unhealthy push/pull dynamic till around 1992/1993.

The movie was The Cradle Will Fall. What a shitty thing to do. I'm not Elvera's biggest fan, but she deserved better than that.

I'm not sure I disagree with not bringing back John for the 60th. Truth be told, one-off type returns annoy me. For example, while Adam Thorpe returned for Blake's wedding, it was to interact mostly with characters he'd never interacted with. Kelly didn't have a family base to interact with.
