They would have had Rafe kidnapping children, then he'd lose the mask and be Jamie Sanders or Johnny Dee. I'm glad they never got the chance to ruin stalwart characters like Herb Callison and Rafe. They certainly did enough to make Clint Buchanan a royal P**ck for years.

I get that but I liked Villian Clint and kinda understood that

Watching 1992 Spring

Was all that LeAnn did was bitch and moan?

Asa is amazing from 7:30-10:00

 

I was watching the Family Feud episode where OLTL competed GH (except for Genie Francis, the GH cast across as a bunch of flakes) and it was interesting to see Ellen Holly interacting Erika Slezak since she later had so much terrible things to say about her. Lee Pattinson was a bit of a dunce. Pretty face, but yeesh.

These have commercials.

As I skim through some of this, I'm reminded of why I barely watch this period - between Badderly (did Rauch base that name on Manderley?) and Dan intensing and Laura Jean...acting, the highlight is probably Debra, Gabrielle and Julia trying on party dresses. (as is often the case, the one that is meant to look the best is probably the worst...Gabrielle looks like she's about to try to crash a local prom). Did Gabrielle ever mention them when she came back? Hell, I don't know if Gabrielle and Julia even mentioned Debra after she left.

I also like the meditation music in some of the Dan/Laura Jean scenes. I needed it.

I appreciate the show trying to save some money on disguises, but it is still strange to think they would just put on glasses or a hairband. Only one even seemed to try an accent (emphasis on try).

Sometimes I think I am not being fair and should try to watch Badderly in full, but then I try. 

Was it Badderly that got Rauch fired or did he still have more chances, and he just couldn't deliver? Do you think the end of his run does improve from this point?

Did Megan say she gave an Eterna pin for luck? What kind of luck did Eterna ever give anyone? No wonder her last years were so tragic...

Take it from me: Badderly deserves every criticism you can lob against it and more.

Cosigned. The one positive thing I'll say is that it helped me understand why my mother never missed an episode of Dr. Quinn.

What was Laura Jean's story?

All I know is the stuff in spring-summer '91 is interminable, and that's without even mentioning Kevin and Stephanie. NuMax and Lee Ann is just gross, and the business with Alex faking a pregnancy and early Bo/Cassie is pretty lame.
