Well, I don't doubt Carly gave Caleb plenty of reason to think they might sleep together. And I don't rewatch her initial run...but I'd remember if she'd slept with him.

Eh....count me as underwhelmed by the news of VH getting a job. Ryan Carnes was damn good, and GH barely used him. And I honestly haven't watched GH in nearly five months. Cute story about Maura though---her being his aunt doesn't guarantee much. Lucas didn't like Ava.

I guess this episode must have been up at some point (or still is in some other form but if so I didn't see it). Jim Muneco put this up today. My favorite part is the Tom and Lisa conversation about his love life - so much fun to see Deas and Eileen here as there is a looseness rather than later versions of Tom mostly tolerating daffy Lisa.

Those are nice, cute scenes between Tom and Lisa,...I havent seen Tom interacting with his family (besides Bob) that much..and Deas is actually charming here (much more charming then Holmes interactions with Lisa) and Fulton is not jittering around who knew that they would be good for each other...though its weird him calling her "mother" and not mom.  I can't tell if Lisa is breaking bad on Margo or if she is trying to make Tom feel guilty and hire her back.

I never can understand what happened to Deas to make him so obnoxious as Buzz.

SB was not my cup of tea...so never saw him but could see how he would work as a sleazeball. I think its the combo of Buzz being so OT and Deas being full of himself and the whole industry acting as if he is soap's answer to Pacino.  Well, also, Buzz was the original Jonathon....always got to win out and no one ever called him on being an ass!

 

Totally agree...I just can't see them acting out the morose Marland storylines.  They really would have been good in a primetime show together.. I wonder why not writers picked up on Tom's past drug issues, Deas would have been good in that .

As a matter of fact, @Mitch64, Deas guest-starred with Colin on her short-lived CBS sitcom, "Foley Square."  Again, I can understand why some find them irritating, but the two acting out Diane English's smart, witty dialogue...?  That's heaven to me, lol.

They could have done a much better job of stalling until David remembered encountering Dee in the elevator on the night of her rape.  The director and writers really let Jacquie Schulz and Larry Bryggman down there.

The 1983 episode is from the week of August 1. I think we determined it was Thursday, Aug. 4. (ETA: I don't think it was outright determined that it was Thursday, Aug. 4, but I assumed so, because the original uploader had all of that day's All My Children episode.)

The 1981 episodes are from the week of December 6.

The 1985 episode is from Monday, March 4.

    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.
