It was very nice to see Michael and Brad - it was very reassuring, and although at the time this was seen as sexless and stale, now I can respect how tough it must have been for AMC to even get this on the air at all. There were one or two very short side stories which also reflected the everyday difficulties of being gay, like Brad talking about how he'd recently lost some patients once they found out about his homosexuality.

Brad will also always be remembered by me for his role in that Brooke English "choose your own adventure" online game, where she got drunk and became convinced she could turn him (he dropped her off at home and got the hell out of there).

20 years ago plus I was in a bar in L.A. and there she was only I didn't know where I knew her. I said hello and insisted we knew each other from someplace. She asked me if I watched AMC and then it dawned on me and I didn't want to say this is where I knew her from and sound like a stalker. I was insisting we met at a party or someplace. She was ok, friendly enough that she was talking to me for a while, a total stranger in a bar demanding to know how I knew her.

Speaking of Antoinette, I just read that she's first cousins with Robin Christopher. Thats pretty cool...lol

Screw JFP. I wish someone at AMC would have brought her back. If RC didnt want to go back there, then I wish they had reached out to CG when Skye wasnt being used on GH Edited by Cheap21

What what what?!? LOL!! There was an online interactive AMC game? How did I miss this, it sounds hysterical.

And yeah, in hindsight it actually was impressive that AMC (under Broderick at the time anyway) tried to keep some gay presence. I remember reading in SOD they DID get some angry letters though Agnes was quoted that the positive letters outnumbered them and made it worthwhile. Even when Brad and Michael kinda disappeared (I don't think they had na exit unless he left when Laurel died), they then stepped up the Kevin stuff.

I wonder why she was replaced--and with her cousin??

Anyway I agree, Skye really should be back on the AMC canvas.

Around 1996, probably at the nadir (or one of them anyway) in Brooke storylines, there was a text game which was done by someone who loved to hate Brooke. She couldn't remember her son's name, she left him home alone eating cookies and candy, she only cared about Laura Kirk because of her dead daughter, and offhandedly made disparaging comments about her appearance. The homeless shelter had BROOKE ENGLISH HOMELESS SHELTER written on the front in neon lights. She only showed up long enough to get praise, then left the rest to Grace. She went out drinking with Marian, although she saw Marian as beneath her. It was a lot of trashy fun.

A rare look at the short-lived Pierce, Greg Wrangler. I guess they auditioned based mostly on jeans.

This is early CG Skye, as Skye was still in that white gown she wore for weeks on end.

I'd totally forgotten about Liza's role in whatever put Skye in a coma. I'd also forgotten about the Brian return. They may not have invited him to the wrap party, but they gave him a nice suit!!!!

    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.
    • Maybe Vetsoapfan will chime in. He might know. 
    • Yeah, I'm thinking that, too. It certainly would be one way to deflect from the embarrassment of being fired early in your contract.  
    • I was hoping Dani/Andre would get caught in the most awkward way possible. lol.  Shanice is now a PT. Umm...okay. Glad they are keeping her in the mix.  Anita going to Chicago. Is this a way to have TT offscreen for some reason?        
    • Andrea Evans was not on the show at this time.  A part of me does wonder if this type of story is just thrown in for juicy gossip and didn't really happen.
