The past with Grant. I mean your think they'd be thrilled to see other. Although Krista does keep in touch with Judi. Judi nor Vincent had anything nice to say about Grant in their reunion. Judi gushed over John Bolger ex Phillip during her reunion with Vincent.

Alan didn't seem to like it. If PAS called me babe I'd babe him back...lol

Grant did not act professionally with Judi and did things that nowadays would get him into trouble. As he got older he stopped behaving in that manner, and ofc he does have friends from the show. Judi admitted to this without going into any details, but it explains why they moved Beth away from Phillip when it was possible.

John Bolger was such a stunning man. I'm sorry this is the only soap where he wasn't tainted with JFP pushing him. 

 

I do wonder what might have been if Judi had stayed in the part as it feels like Judi's acting steadily matured during her three years as Beth, but not as blank as Beth Chamberlin could be in her first turn in the part. Given her alleged history with Grant I guess she would not have ever kept in the role.

 

I guess this is some of the Rick and Claire story they used in that weird 2000 retcon. Looks like a big pile of [!@#$%^&*] - did it play out any better live?

 

(at least Michael O'Leary looked hot, so I guess that is something)

This episode SO MEH. I simply love all the cool tunes played at Company. Kyle always felt like Reva's Substitute leading man. Bland Meave's crazy scheme was so stupid. I do love the interstrength. And maturity Judi Evans gave Beth. Fake Ed was so BAD. Original recipe Dinah unknowingly coming onto her first cousin Phillip.

Jennifer Gatti (a.k.a. Original Recipe Dinah) didn't bother me the way I guess, she may bother some. It's just that the efforts to make her look more "carni" mixed with 80s styling did her no favors. When you see her photo stills from other show appearances she made like "Full House" and her stint on Y&R (controversial casting, though it may be), Hatti looked perfectly fine and comparable to her peers on the show. The styling for her Dinah, however was awful, with those bulky sweaters and lion's mane coiffure.

    • 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
