I used to be so attracted to Tyler.

[victoria foxton]

He was quite tasty.

Not sure if this was ever posted here but this is a great sumation of Alan & Monia's stories from the 70s-90s, with a less detailed restrospective of the 2000s. Don't hold me on the accuracy but it lines up for the most part from what I've read.

I remember watching this and being excited by all the new characters and then like a month later all I could think was where did everybody else go?  Because Bill Eckert ain’t it ya‘ll.  I even liked Jenny at first lol.  Later on I enjoyed Tracy running her down.

I didn't like it. Too many changes done too quickly. But i did like Jenny, Mac, Paul, Julia, Sly and Mac. GH didn't need a massive reset.

Thanks for that Alan and Monica history, @ironlion! I've recently been interested in that period where Alan and Monica are living together in name only and he starts the affair with Susan. You would think that Alan wouldn't want to get with his brother-in-law's ex-mistress, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Also, it's interesting that Monica originally was okay with the affair, at least as a means to ensure that she'd keep A.J. and get a divorce settlement. Somewhere down the line, she regained feelings for Alan.

Loved Alan and Monica in the early 80s. They were so toxic and dysfunctional, and could go from comical to serious all in a beat. Rick Webber and Susan Moore were some of their best material.

I really like how relevant they still were under Wendy Riche especially with Alan kissing Rhonda and accidentally killing Ray Conway.

I was wondering - do any of you know if the final episode of Fridays, which Tony Geary was a special guest on in 1982, is around anywhere? The episode he was a guest on with Genie Francis is available, but the other is really hard to find.

Didn't Alan kill Ray when the latter was beating up on Rhonda?  IIRC, Alan threw Ray off Rhonda; Ray fell back into some window and he died.

I also recall - for some strange reason - that that (the Alan/Rhonda flirtation) was the story where we had to endure Stuart Damon wearing western clothes and learning to line dance, lol.

[Planet Soap]

Yes that's how it played out. A & M were always entertaining but I wonder if the writers ever felt they were being too repetitive with the couples constant extramarrital episodes. I guess that was the point, lol. Starts at (10:05)

Also came acrossan Alan & Monica fight history from 1993 including the scene where Alan rapes Monica. Struggled to find it in the actual 80s clips.

Begins at (4:58)

That must have been for their 15th anniversary of the first wedding (perhaps in lieu of an onscreen celebration since AJ and Jason had been SORASed?)
