Members Dion Posted January 8, 2023 Members Share Posted January 8, 2023 Ooh I had no idea Ken Martin was still on the show at this point. Like the GH wiki, I assumed he and Cynthia left in 1964. Though it makes sense he'd be still around since it appears he had a crossover episode onto The Young Marrieds. Thanks @depboy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted January 8, 2023 Members Share Posted January 8, 2023 Same with Angie and Eddie. They are always credited with leaving in 1965 but it appeared they must have left in 1966. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted January 10, 2023 Members Share Posted January 10, 2023 Please keep posting! I love reading the early years. I started watching GH in June 1969, so I know the characters you're writing about, and it's fun to see what they were up to before I started! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dion Posted January 11, 2023 Members Share Posted January 11, 2023 Eddie's developing sleeping pill addiction after giving up drinking seems like an interesting and logical development for the character. I do wonder though how quickly it will all be wrapped up so that Eddie and Angie get their "happy ending". The events described here do make the speculation that Angie and Eddie eventually divorced offscreen in the years prior to Angie's cameo in 1993 plausible though as Eddie doesn't seem to treat her very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted January 11, 2023 Members Share Posted January 11, 2023 Great promo for the 60th! even though CVS promotes it's soaps more, I have a feeling GH's 60th will be done better than Y&R's 50th. We could get Faces of the Heart back for the 60th like B&B brought back the 80s headshots for their 35th, that would be amazing. I'll keep dreaming though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
