Yeah, and a few of the cast members weren't even in the pic, they must not have had to tape scenes that day.

The first pic includes people in the production staff, some writers (well, I see Elizabeth Korte there), and Mark Teschner and Gwen Hiller are there from casting. And of course there's JFP, Mary O'Leary, Michelle Henry, and Mercer Barrows.

Thanks for the pictures...Pretty interesting.

Does Kirsten Storms not know how to drive to CVS and get a bottle of hair dye? THOSE ROOTS!

Where is Elizabeth in those pics??

Anyway, think the show is very good lately...Looking forward to the big Quartermaine stories Guza has promised.

I think GH is losing me as a viewer. I can't take another baby story. The last few years has been baby hell with Robin, Carly, Skye, Alexis, Liz, and the unsuccessful pregnancies of Carly, Carly, Claudia, Liz and Liz. Now again? We just saw this baby bullshit with Liz two years ago. I was really digging the whole Liz/Lucky/Nik story, especially with Helena on the fringes, but just like that they lost me. I hated Robin's baby story, it was like nails on chalk. Carly's was equally unwatchable, and Liz's last baby story was a nightmare. I am so disappointed; I was really enthusiastic about the revived Spencer clan but this baby thing is starting to feel like a deal breaker. I hate soap babies, and GH is freaking Romper Room.

I just don't understand how any viewer can like this plotless tripe. Ok she is pregnant, and will be she discussing anything else for nine months? If Robin or Carly are any clues, the answer is "no".

I think it boils down to the people at GH only seeing a woman as worthwhile if she has children and lives through her children. Otherwise they just are on the fringes. I think someone also believed it would be great viewing to have Liz pregnant AND mentally ill because what better way to debase her than to reduce her to a psycho brood mare. I have never liked Liz so I should enjoy seeing her get some comeuppance but it's not even about comeuppance, it's yet another soap female who is conveniently written as insane in the membrane so nothing she does will stick. I already get that with Sharon on Y&R.

I have to agree. When was the last time a guy was sent off to Shady Brooke? Did Sonny do a stint? I don't think he did, but I can't remember for sure. Either way, mental instability seems to be something the women of Port Charles deal with a lot more then men. All these breakdowns due to men are pretty insulting.

she can check into Bellevue all she wants, and then do a stay at Willowbrook, just don't have any more babies. With this baby on the show, there is now no other issue for me. Nothing any of them say sounds like anything other than "blah blah baby, blah blah baby" Nik, Lucky...they can all commit group suicide (and take Liz's horrible kids with them) if it will end the baby talk.

And I am starting to get sick of the older kids too. I theoretically liked them all except Kristina, but now this freaking baby has put me in such a bad mood, I wish Molly, Kristina and Michael would all die too. Morgan I like, he can stay. And don't even get me started on that horrible brat, Emma. That baby cried so much, I didn't blame Robin for sticking her in a tree.

Jeez, GH has more kids than The Sound Of Music.

My issue with these pregnancies and babies is that Guza uses them to keep couples that are falling part together instead of letting drift apart. The sole purpose of Liz's pregnancy is to keep Lucky and Liz together as a couple. It was the same thing when Liz got pregnant with Jake which got her Jason for awhile and when Robin got pregnant with Patrick's child. It is lazy writing that lack creativity. Soap pregnancies should create drama and turmoil not be used as excuse to keep a couple together.

    • Thanks for the fuller story.  Steve Guthrie was a loss to the show, but I can't really blame Nicholson.
    • Albee clashed with co-star Lee Godart, who portrayed villain Eliot Dorn . At the time, the Edge of Night cast participated in a charity baseball league with other New York-based soaps. Albee, an American, was very competitive about the games, whereas Godart – a French actor unfamiliar with baseball – was not as skilled. Tensions reportedly flared when Albee berated Godart’s athletic performance and even mocked his nationality during these games . Godart took offense and complained to the executive producer, who warned Albee to stop harassing his castmate . Albee either ignored this warning or didn’t take it seriously, and continued to needle Godart. As a result, when Albee’s next contract option came due, Nicholson chose not to renew it – effectively terminating Albee’s role on the show
    • I can't remember exactly, but I think the claim was it involved a team baseball game.
    • Sorry to hear that - take whatever time you need.
    • @MaximI sing this in my head so dang often!!!!   
    • Not as caught up as everyone else but I just wanted to add, the show being played for laughs is gone and I’m happy about it, that’s exactly how the show was during the strike.
    • I love the early years of GH.... Does anyone know where I can find information of the stories from 1963 and 1964??  Thank you!!

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
