Members amybrickwallace Posted December 3, 2014 Members Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's a shame that Michelle Forbes didn't become a bigger star. She really was one of the biggest unsung talents to hit daytime in the mid/late 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heffer Posted December 3, 2014 Members Share Posted December 3, 2014 I honestly felt she left daytime way too soon. She should have waited until she became more famous (and she would have). In a way, the Star Trek gig hindered her progression in the industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted December 3, 2014 Members Share Posted December 3, 2014 She is a VERY successful character actor and I believe she has exactly the career she wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 3, 2014 Members Share Posted December 3, 2014 I know that her one-time husband, Ross Kettle (who played Jeffrey Conrad on SB), was nominated for the Younger Actor Emmy one year. Wasn't she (Michelle) nominated for an Emmy the same year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zanereed Posted December 5, 2014 Members Share Posted December 5, 2014 They definitely are (I have the original German DVD set to confirm). I encourage everyone to watch these, as well as the August 1979 episodes that have also been put up. They are the final months for the Dobsons, who I believe ended their writing in December 1979 or January 1980. There is great stuff here, and the scenes with Michael Zaslow and Chris Bernau are not to be missed. As far as who Doug Marland wrote out first, I suppose it was either Dr. Greg Fairbanks or Dr. Mark Hamilton (as mentioned above). I can't recall if either character had an exit story or just stopped appearing altogether. Dr. Peter Chapman wasn't around for too long after Marland took over, either (but I think Peter did have a proper exit). Holly also exited in September 1980, but like Michael Zaslow, that was the choice of Maureen Garrett versus Doug Marland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zanereed Posted December 5, 2014 Members Share Posted December 5, 2014 What I also found interesting regarding another GL connection was the trailer for the "Green Card" movie. It briefly shows Stefan Schnabel, who played Dr. Stephen Jackson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 5, 2014 Members Share Posted December 5, 2014 You're right. I can see him there. Too bad GL just pretended Stephen Jackson never existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 Question, did Nola ever repair her relationships with Morgan, Hillary, and Kelly fully? I know that she and Kelly became civil as he helped cure her after Silas kidnapped her, but did they become friends afterwards? Just wondering because these people became real sanctimonious with Nola after it was revealed that she lied about Kelly being the father of her child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 Is it just me, or did the GL title card from the early Pam Long era look more like a dishwashing detergent ad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) She seemed to get along with Kelly well enough in the few clips of that era that are around (like when Quint was in the hospital after Rebecca made them crash their car). She and Hillary seemed to have little interaction, even when Hillary was dating Nola's brother, but I guess they got along OK. I think Morgan had little interaction with her as she wasn't in the hospital setting, so their only tie was through Floyd. And by late 1982 or so Morgan and Kelly split for good so her stories were through her family and Josh, who had even less to do with Nola than Kelly did. Marland was fond enough of Lisa Brown that he worked overtime to make sure she wasn't judged by viewers for her actions with Morgan and Kelly, which meant cutting off most of her interaction with them. They kept her secret (I'm not sure if Floyd ever found out about her lies and schemes and that she'd just been using him for sperm - I'm sure he must have but I don't know when) so as not to hurt Floyd. Nola despised Morgan, utterly despised her, so I give Morgan some credit for moving on as well as she did.

Members robbwolff Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 Detergent ad? No. And that title card predates Long. It was instituted when Doug Marland was writing and Allen Potter producing GL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 OK, I didn't know that that logo predated the Long/Kobe era. Thanks for letting me know. I still think it looks like a dishwasher detergent ad, but to each his/her own!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 It does remind me of that too. It also looks very garish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 Garish, yes, but wasn't most everything (from clothes to hairstyles to graphics) garish in the 80s? LOL P.S. I like your Christmas avatar, Carl!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
