I wish it was JUST a snore. For some reason, several times when an episode of GL I hadn't seen popped up in my YouTube TL, it would invariably have a scene of RR in bed with Tangie, Claire, whoever. And each time, I'm thinking, "Does algorithm REALLY think I want to see this?"

I got a laugh out of this.

Now that you mention it, Claire was one of the women I thought Ron had a little more pep with, although I don't know if I believe Alan would have been interested in her. Maybe if Ed had been around and Alan had wanted to needle him.

Why didn't the show utilize PFS when they briefly had her? Was it a clash with Kobe or did Kobe come in with Long in a 2-for-1 deal from Texas? I always admired FPS skill at building family units over at GH and Days and integrating them into the canvas.

She left before Kobe came along. I think L Virginia Browne was the interim headwriter. I wonder if FPS just clashed as she did at other shows, or was blamed for ratings slipping.

Douglas Marland was last credited October 1982, then came Pat Falken Smith and later L. Virginia Browne. February 1983 was the EP change from Allen Potter to Gail Kobe, and the HW change from L. Virginia Browne to Richard Culliton and Pamela Long.

Lol, I got Claire and Alan in bed on my YT feed the other day. Sign that it was time to clear watch history.

Now I'm afraid to look at my utube feed. Eek. It's bad enough I'll see a bunch of **** crap suggested because I watch Vanessa's glory days.

LOL - I almost forgot about your **** Lent thing... I commend you for a job well done. And I'll prepare myself for the snark Although I feel like I haven't seen much of Vanessa or Matt in the last month or so of my current watch (boo!).

I was watching a couple of the late 1982 episodes on the German channel. What I really like that PFS did was have Alan go back to being Alan. They were setting up bringing back Phillip and Rick (who was still Freddie). Phillip got into trouble at his private school. Justin thought he had handled it, then Alan sneaks behind Justin's back and goes to talk to the headmaster and bribes him so he can lessen Phillip's punishment. Then he's telling Hope he wants to go back to the mansion for the holidays and pretending it's ONLY for holidays, because God forbid they squeeze Phillip into their cute little cottage.

And Hope is like, "Oh, but I love our little house and I'm used to it."

Honey, you ain't never going back to that house.

At the same time he's being super attentive and promising to buy her beautiful jewels for Christmas, etc.

PFS got rid of all that redemption, "I'm going to wear sackcloth and ashes forever to atone for my sins" crap. He was back to lying to Hope, placating her with promises of beautiful gifts, lying to Justin, using his money to manipulate and get what he wants.

I REALLY wish PFS had stayed, because instead having Alan decide out of the blue to treat Hope like she was some stranger who broke into his house, she was setting up all these little fissures and cracks that would eventually make marriage collapse. That would have been a good story.

I don't know what she pitched to the network/sponsor but seems to me this would have been an ideal time to bring back Rita. I liked that Long gave a decent storyline to Trish, but it was really difficult to buy that Alan was ready to replace Hope with someone so much like her. Pretty blonds who were rather passive and had daddy issues, both alcoholics--they could have been twins.
