As the SWAT team storms the hotel's lobby, a huge gun battle ensues. Sonny and Carly escape, while Jason rescues Liz. Suddenly, the Metro Court lobby explodes in flames.

WTF, the AMC episodes JUST aired 2 weeks ago. They couldnt at least pull something earlier in the year? I think GH is the only one I might check out

I've just accepted the fact that GH is the only soap they're ever willing to go back farther than a year for ever. Ever.

Unless it's Rylee on AMC you're right. Probably cause Guza's been writing for so long

The MetroCourt hostage story was the last Guza stunt that I unabashedly enjoyed so I think that they are good episodes to repeat though I can't imagine anyone watching during the holidays.

No boo - remember the Wednesday before November sweeps - the AMC episode was from 2005 w/ Maria/Edmund/etc.

Bah Humbug.

The OLTL stuff I didn't even care about the first time. Didn't see AMC.

It's easy for GH as they seem to repeat their stories over and over anyway.

GH: The first episode of the Metro Court hostage crisis from February 1, 2007 -- 12 hours before the hotel's explosion, Craig's mercenaries storm the Metro Court. Elsewhere in Port Charles, Lulu accuses Alan of killing Rick and framing Laura.

I didn't realize that Alan's last days were spent being a foil to Shrewlu.

why do the GH ones keep saying "AJs briefcase"...AJ was long dead by then...Wasn't it Alcazar's briefcase...?

Definitely watching the GH ones.

Will be glad to see Alan and Monica

And just looked it up...Bobbie is in that first episode. So I'm a happy camper.

The MetroCourt hostage story was the last Guza stunt that I unabashedly enjoyed so I think that they are good episodes to repeat though I can't imagine anyone watching during the holidays.

I most likely won't be watching the repeats, since I barely watch the first-runs... but I agree. The MetroCourt Crisis was incredible! To this day, I remember Sam ripping off "Mr. Craig's" mask and that being the end of the episode... and I let out a literal, loud, "Oh, my God!"

And then, had to go to work.

And when the building exploded, all I could think of was "Wow! This was a GREAT story!" I'm disappointed Guza hasn't delivered since.

Bah Humbug.

About it ALL... I agree!

I didn't realize that Alan's last days were spent being a foil to Shrewlu.

To me, Lulu died during that crisis along with Alan. Who the HELL tells a gunman to kill an older man first because he's already lived his life?

Geez that's awful. She should say it about Dante now...

No boo - remember the Wednesday before November sweeps - the AMC episode was from 2005 w/ Maria/Edmund/etc.

Really? Jeez, I must have been checked out completely to miss that. Not that Maria and Edmund are characters who keep running to the screen, but still.

I've just accepted the fact that GH is the only soap they're ever willing to go back farther than a year for ever. Ever.

Well the last AMC one was at least 5 years old (and despite them claiming it was Rylee centric, it wasn't overtly so), but yeah, what an utter wasted opportunity. I really wonder if these episodes that just aired months even weeks back seriously would get larger ratings than if they aired true classic episodes?
