Finally saw all of the Christmas GL reunion fundraiser. Some observations..

 

1. Not enough was spent on those new to the reunion.

2. Other actors were happy to see James Goodwin.

3. Alan accidentally brought in Beth Ethlers while Kim was on....lol

4. Alan's cam literally came crashing down...lol

5. The tension during the four musketeers reunion was heavy.

6. When signing off Paul Anthony Stewart called Alan... "babe".   Ewwww ...I know PAS has better taste than that.....look at his hot husband. I had to lol at Alan reaction after PAS called him babe..lol

I agree that certain people could have had a bit more time, but I doubt it was supposed to go over 2 hours. 

 

I think James Goodwin has a sense of humor, so people were glad to see him, I laughed when he said that Peter and Jerry weren't nice people, or whatever it was, because you could tell it wasn't something awful or based on reality (like other awkward moments during the livestream.) I liked seeing Rachel and Peter together, and liked that she was the only Michelle he interacted with, as why not.

 

When I think of the Johnny Bauer cancer story I think of the story Beth shared about part of the set going on fire during that scene with everyone holding the candles - no idea if it was the take used or during rehearsal and how Beth, Kim and Jerry were trying to stop the flames, as they were closest to the fire. 

 

When the camera fell I was worried the chat would end, and we wouldn't see everyone. It was different the time that Alan was cut off, and the attendees continued chatting without him. 

 

I wonder if Paul calls everyone babe, and Alan did seem shook. Paul is comfortable in his skin, which is a wonderful thing. 

 

The Kim and Beth being on at the same time was so short, unlike the part with the four musketeers where I felt relieved when they brought in Tina Sloan. 

 

bl (who watched the video of the Shayne reunion last night...that made the Thursday livestream seem a lot less messy. Kristi's comment about Kim's treatment of her, and the chat about Larkin Malloy totally entertaining. And well hearing about Chris Bernau with Kim's Max, well why can't we get more of that content. People talking about Chris....)

I've never heard PAS call anyone babe. I thought I was hearing things so I replayed it to make sure I heard correctly.

 

The four musketeers was tense because of Grant. Once he signed off due to audio issues the chat with Krista, Michael and Judi picked up. Grant also had this smirky weird looking face. Judi reunion with Vincent was more joyous.

 

I know many didn't like Johnny but I did so it was great seeing James again. And Annabelle was a nice surprise too!  I wanted to find out if she got along with Gregory Beecroft. Oh wow didn't know Gregory was from Texas.

All the Reardons except for Mo were gone when she was on, so she interacted with the Bauers the most and was considered one.  Bea was on for her intro, but she never worked with Lisa Brown, Melissa, or the Matt actor.

 

I just watched the reunion and it was great! Whatever faults Alan may have with not knowing some things, I do think he really did love the shows. It was great to see everyone...(though I did feel like a bit weird finding Little Bill attractive) and that they obviously really like each other. I agree that Evan seemed a bit standoffish but she has had a hell of a year so the fact that she even did this was great..PAS looks damn sexy now and I never thought one way or the other about him on the show, and Nancy looks great too...though, the weird musical interlude from SS was..weird...

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
