GH: Classic Thread

[carolineg]

I know there were plans to just have TB finish Carly's story when she took over and she was only meant to be temporary so there were thoughts of ditching Carly-at least for a time.  I am sure they may have rested the character and asked Sarah back in a few years if that were the case.  I guess I could see Carly lasting, but maybe not being as prominent.  More B story like Alexis or Liz.  

I thought BW was okay, but preferred SK as well.  Physically BW was so off as AJ.

I agree Sonny/Carly's relationship and it's toxicity destroyed the show and both characters.

It would have been interesting to see Jason/Carly/AJ interact separate from Sonny and give Jason/Carly a story outside that sphere.  It's hard to imagine.

Holy heck what is this Sonny and Brenda scene??

 

Also, a rare Jennifer Bransford as Carly appearance…

The S&B scene is from when they were on a plane to DC for an Eddie Maine gig.  They were "broken up" at the time, but still into each other.  To avoid Sonny finding out Ned is Eddie, Brenda seduces Sonny and they finally have sex in Washington DC and get back together.  Sonny/Brenda used to have a lot of these cute little fantasy scenes early in their relationship and while this particular scene is silly it's on brand for them at the time.

That TK/JB kiss looks awkward.  Even though JB was forgettable  a lot of important stuff happened to Carly during her brief stint.

Sonny and Brenda weren't high on my list of GH characters most likely to emulate Annie Hall.

Fair.

It's nice to see them more lighthearted when they will be all angst and drama for the next million years.  It's a little quirky for them and that's not really their characters.  It would fit Ned/Lois better I think, but Sonny/Brenda had a ton of silly fantasies in the beginning of their relationship.  It's nice to remember a time when Sonny was slightly insecure and had a sense of humor though......

[Franko]

It's a funny moment and maybe it works as well because it's two completely unexpected characters. I'm also reminded why me-as-a-child thought Mo was so handsome.

I don't keep up much with classic GH but thought this was cool. Looks like a studio copy of the episode with Laura's rape https://www.ebay.com/itm/304550831008?hash=item46e8a4e3a0:g:9PgAAOSwouNiwEKd
