I think by the time of Billy/Holly, Vanessa was comatose and then left town with Matt after she woke up, but i'm not 100% sure.

I think Vanessa was in Europe with an on-the-run Dinah, but I'm not sure either.

Frankly, I don't think "Holly kidnaps baby Maureen" would have been any more successful than the Nursery Rhyme Stalker story. Even though Holly was a complex, damaged soul, and losing Meg had hurt her tremendously, it just feels wrong to me that Holly -- even an unhinged Holly who is drinking heavily -- might have done something so diabolical. Unless, of course, it were another Erica/Maddie situation (ALL MY CHILDREN) and Holly was under the impression that the child was unwanted. Even in that case, though, that would have to be very clear, Holly's remorse over taking another woman's child but believing she was doing its parents a "favor" would have to be apparent in every story beat, and as soon as she realizes she'd made a mistake and that the child is, in fact, wanted, she'd have to return that baby ASAP and not convolute matters any further by holding onto the child out of fear she'll be arrested or some mess.

One can't really blame Holly for becoming unhinged. Look at that evil SOB Roger. It's just a shame Holly wasn't given the chance to tell Roger to piss off once and forever after the meat grunge he put her through beyond Center.

Some German GL scenes - looks like some clipped together from about 80-81 or 81-83?

Likely 80-81. Wasn't the guy with Morgan named Duke?

[Mitch]

LOL..can someone please explain the Marshall Hilliard video to me? I know its a "vanity production," but.....

I do have to say he looks damn good for his age but, then Marshall would be the first to tell you that!

[Soapsuds]

I actually thought Marshall was the least attractive of all the Harts ..

[zurge]

Carl,

It looks like most of this was from 1981. Morgan's kidnapping by Duke was in late winter/early spring of 1981. The Alan/Hope scenes (my German isn't great, so please be kind) look like they are from when Hope found out about Alan's affair with Rita? I'm not sure about Hope on the hospital bed - was that when she was in a car accident and blurted out that she knew about Alan and Rita? My memory is too hazy. I wish more of this period was available on YT.

Any clips of Josh Taylor during his stint as Quint Chamberlin?

[DRW50]

Those will probably be uploaded on bandstandmike's channel in the coming months.

[katie_9918]

Oh, I am so looking forward to reliving and truly appreciating the frakkery of Josh Taylor as Quinton Chamberlain.

[DRW50]

I thought he had some energy and charisma, and even chemistry with Lisa Brown, but his work had no resemblance to Quint. The show had done such a hatchet job on Tylo's Quint that I remember reading that some fans at the time actually preferred Josh Taylor.

[Mitch]

I liked Taylor...maybe if they had cast him as someone else and paired him with Brown and THEN Quint came back. I thought Brown was at her best during this second time around with him as Quint and then with Vanessa's dumb disease storyline...(the real super couple were Vanessa and Nola and their ying/yang personalities who bugged the hell out of each other but loved each other .

Hillard I didn't like during his stint but he was still better then Gay Porn Star looking Grillo (and why Hart got a New Yoik sounding accent...) I was just mentioning that now Hillard looks damn good for 44.
