GH: Classic Thread

[Liberty City]

I forgot about that (like I try to forget about that soap). Plus, didn't they do Dubai and Monte Carlo, too? Or am I thinking of the same place for those of those visits?
My problem with the B&B location shoots is that they seem in-tangent with show-related events... not for the sake of the story and character progression. Had

Sharon/Adam in New Orleans was 2010 I think.

They did both. Dubai and Abu Dhabi in a trip in 2014, Monte Carlo in 2017.

Thanks to all of you for clarifying. Wow, the good old days when the soaps actually had money!!!

Oh look, a friend reminded me the beauty of Jimmy Lee and Celia

 

Remind me again why they needed to kill off Jimmy Lee?

I didn't see this on here - just found it on Youtube. It's the last scenes of a character named Darren Blythe, who was tied with the Bobbie/Scotty/Laura group (I didn't read up a lot on that period beyond the basics so you all probably know more about him than I do). The date is June 5th, 1978.

William Schriener, who played him, uploaded the scenes - I asked a brief question about whether he got the scenes as a goodbye gift...I didn't want to ask about a full episode as some people get angry when you try to talk to them.

All I can say is Bobbie was such a huge bitch and she didn't even try to hide it. You have to laugh.

I liked Darren a lot. I thought he was cute. Of course, Scotty was my main crush, LOL. GH sure had a plethora of attractive men back then. Yum. Now they only serve up greasy or dead-eyed mobsters.

@vetsoapfan  Wasn't Laura sneaking off to spend time with David Hamilton at this time, cheating on Darren ?

 

 

[DRW50]

So Darren was around a while then? Did they mention him much after he left?

I agree he was cute. I think GH in those years managed to cast good looking men who could still seem approachable (although you don't see a lot of 1978-era Kin Shriners in real life, admittedly).

[vetsoapfan]

Well, Darren was around for a little while, but never as a major player. After he left, I don't remember anyone mentioning him at all. So many men back at that time were approachable babes, although Jeff and Scotty were tops for me. It annoys me to no end that Hammy Howarth is working on his third freaking character, while Kin Shriner is only rarely seen as a glorified under-fiver. Scotty Baldwin is the show's longest-serving character. He deserves a place on the canvas.

You got it. Laura was such a brat! And an idiot too, for dismissing a hunk like Darren for an icky troll like David Hamilton. 

[DRW50]

Thanks as always for your memories. 

[victoria foxton]

Thank you for tagging me Carl. Another awesome find. Never heard of this character.

Laura always seemed to go for much, much older dudes. Even Scotty was a grown man when Laura married him. Smirky Howarth is just an abomination. Darren was cute. I find it weird seeing Bobbie in bad girl mode. She was a nice lady by the time i started watching. Darren got a nice send off. Most characters in present day GH don't.

Bobbie was so evil back then, in that whole era I've been diving into lately ('78-'80 atm, with some '77). I love it.

[jam6242]

@DRW50Thanks for tagging me.  Don't remember much about this character other than his cuteness.  Always great to see Denise.

[Paul Raven]

What caused Bobbie to reform?
