Judi Evans is a fine performer. I don’t blame her for the Beth characterization or how poor Beth was blind and helpless or how she was overly-infatuated with Lujack, There’s a clip from one of the intros above that starts with an explosion and a blinded Beth looking helpless and calling out for Lujack. That’s pretty much Beth in a nutshell.

That intro shows the sudden change in GL at that time to keep "pace" with GH...(though GL was doing just fine in the ratings...) it goes from a mix of vets and new characters having romance and family moments to mostly young and newbies and explosions, kicking in doors, slapping, punching pushing and other "action" moments.

Well put. And there was such a dichotomy between the gentle, romantic theme and the on-screen clips.

 

Judi Evans had infused natural strength and backbone into Beth.  Elements that helped make Beth more interesting than she would have been in another actresses hands.

Yes, and just a down-to-earth quality.

Another legend passes away. RIP Lisa Brown!!!

 

NO! That's terrible, Nola was one of my faves during my impressionable early years.

Morgan live!

Matt is just as bad Alan. But unlike Alan. Matt's a true fan.

This is from one of the GL DVDs released. I own this set. Grant looks young. I love this time on GL.

I think this episode is already up. But in poor quality. It's fun to see early Reva. There isn't much of Kelly online from this time. Really like Hillary, Katie, Kelly and Floyd and even Lesley Ann. Pam Long had a good handle on the characters she inherited. A shame Gail Kobe got rid of so many wonderful character's. The scenes with Lesley Ann were very powerful.

Isn't that Kim Zimmer first episode as Reva or where she meets Alan? I already forgot.
