Was Tim/T.J. still on GL at that point (I barely remember him, but I assume that's who is behind Millette Alexander)?

Wow...look who watched GL with his "mum"!

Charita Bauer at the 1976 Daytime Emmys.

Yes, Tim (T.J.) was still there in early 1977.

Nice photo of Charita. Rare type of photo for her.

This is the guy who played Wyatt, right?

Correct. Joe Ponazecki played Larry Wyatt at various times between the late 1970's (I think) and early 1990's.

Yes, Tim (T.J.) was still there in early 1977.

Do know approximately when T.J. stopped appearing (i.e. - stopped appearing and went to "boarding school")? I was so young then and I can't remember this period as much. Thank you.

I just watched on YouTube the episode where India learns Floyd killed Andy and plans to kill her. What was the reaction at the time? Having seen Floyd in older shows this seems super out of character/bizarre. Did they just want to get rid of the actor? Who was writing GL at the time?

Someone..I think it was Carl that said there was a writing change and they totally rewrote Floyd into something he wasn't. I remember I was shocked to find out about Floyd….this was before spoilers and magazines…lol

Floyd was introduced by the Dobsons and Doug Marland continued the characterization.By 85 Pam Long was in charge and the actor's contract was up so the murder was pinned on Floyd.

I am almost afraid to post this for fear it will jinx the channel all over again, but "SoapsNthings" are posting more GL episodes from around November 1981 up on YT:

The quality varies, but there is more from the Mike/Alan/Tenerife storyline, as well as plenty from Quint and Nola, etc.

They're up to about where they were when the channel got taken down. I guess we'll see if they upload something new (beyond the spring and December 1979 episodes they put up).

Does anyone know which other episodes are available from that era? I know the full episodes of Holly's rape and aftermath must be around somewhere, and there are commercials from a 1978 episode that someone said was Rita and Ed's wedding, but I don't know.
