Members BetterForgotten Posted January 25 Members Share Posted January 25 Michele Val Jean wrote a lot of the rape revisitation storyline and monologues during that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 Yeah and after the Phil Brewer murder was resolved, Diana wasn't really a lead for the remaining 5 - 6 years of the character's run. She was of course involved in the Steven-Lars mess but mainly in a supporting role. Her reign as the drama queen of GH was relatively short-lived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 Yes, she was in charge of the story, I believe. She used Laura's rape, Liz's rape, her own ... uh, either sexual assault or rape, ... and they even got a rape that Liz's grandmother experienced into the act. If it's a problem with getting the episodes, I had good luck finding a hard-to-find Stavros episode without horrible audio buzz at Daytime Royalty, the Video Vault thread. And, in turn I was also able to get 7 DAYS episodes for someone. Quite a bit of giving & getting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 (edited) In the fan communities it's pretty well known what a show's best and prime years were. Bold for example was the best 1989-1993. I was just wondering... What are General Hospital best years ever?

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 I would say the Wendy Riche/Claire Labine years Riche was EP 1992-2001 Labine was HW Oct 11, 1993-Mar 1, 1996 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Tom Degnan? Nathan Fillion? Chris McKenna? Again, I've even said Josh Kelly would have been a solid Drew or Lucky, but, we got him as Cody, so.... Crossing my fingers that some how, some way Patrick Mulcahey is about to lure Michele Val Jean away from the dead sea that is Bold to return to General Hospital in some capacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, all contracts have dates when they come up, so we can cross our fingers for a future date!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 (edited) Crossing my fingers that some how, some way Patrick Mulcahey is about to lure Michele Val Jean away from the dead sea that is Bold to return to General Hospital in some capacity. I'm sure he will lure her away at some point. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if you look up one day and see either Nancy Curlee's or Stephen Demorest's name in the credits. Please register in order to view this content Believe it or not, I actually like Tom Degnan. I liked him on ATWT, and I liked him on OLTL, too, even though, in both cases, he got saddled with bad storylines. Not the world's finest actor, and probably not at all convincing as a villain or even anti-hero, but definitely someone who could've grown into another tentpole actor/character, if given the right opportunity on the right show.

And I like the work he did as Adam on World Turns, but I do feel like whether there or even at One Life he was not even enough time to really dig deep into either role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 I was wondering… Did Laura and JAX ever had something to do with each other? I can’t remember seeing them in a story together or anything else and JAX was a contract player for ages.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 She didn’t share much time with Brenda and Luke and Sonny were partners in the club. They had a few encounters but nothing lasting. They kind of islanded Laura after Genie’s maternity leave, probably because she got a first in first out agreement with Wendy and ABC so she could be with her kids as much as possible. Some of her co-stars did not like it. JFP certainly didn’t when she got there. Vanessa Marcil wanted something similar to extend her first return and JFP and ABC wouldn’t agree to that, they just kept throwing money at her thinking that would be more important than her kid. For a couple of years Laura suffered the Nikki thing with the ranch on Y&R- her house was her set and where she mostly appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) That would be a dream if Curlee and/or Demorest were ever to come back to write soaps Edited January 29 by cassadine1991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== PM’s pretty much the only person who could probably get Nancy especially to ever return to this dying medium, even as just a story consultant or breakdown/scriptwriter. It will be interesting to see how this writing team shakes out with so many of PM’s contemporaries that he once worked being either retired or dead. But how great would it be to wake up in an alternate reality to news that Sony/CBS has hired Curlee/Demorest to take over Y&R and given them complete creative control to do as they’d like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) It'll be very interesting to see what plays out here staff-wise. I don't know which of the current crop of writers are solid. And again I believe a number of young writers of color are still on staff at GH brought in over the most recent years; folks can correct me if I'm wrong. As we've all noted, Mulcahey and Korte are the first key GH writers installed that didn't have their careers made by Frank or come from OLTL since before he and Ron took over. BTW @Errol the quoting system is real messed up. Edited January 29 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
