Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's interesting to read that compared to Leslie Charleson, who ADORED Tom Donovan and only agreed to join GH because she worked with him on LIAMST. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrQuartermaine Posted November 28, 2012 Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 Like I used to tell my students when it was time to sign up for classes, it's better to go with the devil that you know than the devil that you don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) When exactly in '93 did Claire Labine take over? Note the waterfront and bridge vista outside Kelly's. That's gone now. Too bad. Edited December 6, 2012 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not sure. I think it was mid-1993. Or spring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 I wonder if this was her or what. I know Wendy Riche did lobby to get Lucy back around this time. Lynn Herring spoke kindly of her time at DAYS in a podcast interview the other day (she sounds gleeful to be back) but I'd always heard she was miserable and her treatment there infuriated Wayne Northrop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I think she started in August 1993. Edited December 6, 2012 by AdelaideCate007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 I always thought she might have come back only if they agreed to mature Lucy, which they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yes, according to Wikipedia she started in August '93, just before Luke and Laura hit. I myself only started watching right around then. Riche was around at least a year prior, first with Norma Monty then a couple others. This is...Bill Levinson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Also, note Gerald Anthony as Marco Dane clashing with Lucy in Part 2. Like Todd today, I think he fits well here as an OLTL transplant. I wonder if Linda Gottlieb and Malone ever wanted him back for OLTL, but I half-doubt it. I wonder who came up with that idea to begin with. It's interesting to note that it looks like Riche inherited Gloria Monty's massive foul-up with the Scorpios, rumored to be what cost Monty her job; she fired Finola Hughes unceremoniously at the end of one day, replaced her with a woman from one of the Friday the 13th sequels to finish out a month of story with Faison and Robert, and by the end of February '92 both Robert and Anna were apparently gone. At that point Wendy Riche had been on the job less than a month, and had to deal with that. Whoof. Edited December 6, 2012 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 Riche phased him out when she had the chance, so I guess it was someone at ABC higher up. Too bad. I can't see Malone knowing how to write that type of character (he would just be in comic relief stories with Alex), but I wish we'd seen Marco one last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 I could've sworn Labine's stint started at the same time as Riche's? (late 1992-ish) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) No, Riche was there for at least a good year and a half before Labine. I do remember a TV Guide interview with Riche during the time before Labine came on where she essentially said the 80's were over and GH needed to get back to reality and character-driven stories if it wanted a new lease on life.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Here's one of the archived EW articles from Riche's beginning: http://www.ew.com/ew...,310654,00.html Edited December 6, 2012 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have to say, Riche had a better handle on where to steer the show than the EPs that followed her. That brief article spoke volumes, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
