I remember how popular Sam was when he first showed up. It was only when the show began repeatedly, sometimes brutally, reinforcing his superiority, and bringing on all his relatives, that people started to hate him. They would have been better off if they'd kept him in a smaller role, and with less of that teeth-sucking smugness. So much of the Nora stuff seemed to be from his POV for a long time - even when Nora told the truth it seemed to be most about how it affected him. There's one scene where he is going on about Nora only caring about what helps Bo, and loving Bo, and she mentions to him that he kept quiet about Lindsay's lies. He just ignores the question entirely.

I thought some of the fans interested in the earlier years might like this. I know there are some photos of Joanne Dorian around (if there's an episode I guess it's not available) but this is the only article I've seen so far. It's from Afternoon TV, June 1971.

I wonder if her last name inspired the writers.

Can you believe this is Viki's IMDB listing:

Mayor Victoria 'Viki' 'Blondie' Lord Riley Lord Buchanan Buchanan Carpenter Davidson

I wonder if someone will look at Joanne Dorian's page and say, "Wow she did a lot in a year."

hat ws a McTavish story, right?

I hated Kale as Sam--I didn't ind Laurence in the role for whatever reason, I guess I find him a more appealing actor, but the role was useless by then anyway.

Speaking of Alison, when she returned under RC, did we ever get an explanation what her secret was? I can't remember the end of her character.

I had no idea Marco Dane returned in 91--was this to lead to his GH role? He won for OLTL the Soap Opera Digest award for best short term character.

I also can't find the video of Roy Orbison's Crying that stared Max and Luna that Linda Gottlieb set up, but I remember it played a lot.

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.
