Im hoping ABC is smart to advertise this so the audience doesnt get confused.

That's the thing--R you make a good point, but I still think for the average viewer who hasn't read about this online, if anything it'll just be confusing for the reasons Shadows said.

Is it wise to air reruns of all shows the same day?

instead of just re-running the whole episode would it not be better to air a compilation episode eg highlights of Todd/Tea?

Or would this to be too expensive (having to edit those scenes together)and defeat the whole purpose?

I think it would be too expensive--I mean I doubt it would cost that much but if they apparently got rid of the "Next time" preview clips a few years back to save money, surely this would be the same...

Damn, was hoping to see my Marcy or even Julia Barr in the AMC ep, but it doesn't look that way.

Saw this at SOC:

This is from SID, from a piece called Take a Trip Down Memory Lane, talking about the reasoning behind airing old episodes every now and then.....

Regarding GH,

The writers agree that the plan to use old episodes to enhance current story is a good thing. "It's going to.....set the present perfectly," Guza explains. "JFP and I are actively involved in selecting the classic episodes for GH. They're not telling us; we're saying, "This is where we'll be in story during this period."

Me: Oh boy we're screwed if Guza and JFP are picking the classic episodes

So Sam suddenly finds herself pregnant even though she was told she could never have kids? Everyone else on this show that was told that ended up getting knocked up, so I guess its her turn
