I’m done with October 1981! Heather is cleared so far even though Burt Ramsey just wouldn’t let it go. If it was 2025 Heather could easily sue him for harassment at this point lol 

Joe and Heather are so sweet . They are finally together. But in what world did he thought it was a good idea to invite those two lady’s to dinner? Anne having a go with Heather was the first time i appericiate Anne’s acting again. But she is just so annoying. I mean she got involved with a married men and made plans with him to get married while his sick wife is locked up coz she was not herself. If I was Heather I would’ve torn her apart too lol Who is Anne to judge? Can’t wait for her to finally leave.

we finally got Lila Quartermaine with a lot of screentime! Alexandria’s Will causes some great Quartermaine tension and Lila kinda putting everyone in their place lol Hell even Susan Moore! Gosh I love that old lady!

Luke and Laura. Ugh I love them and I get that during 79-81/82 they were THAT pop culture phenomenon but damn. They really dragged this wedding preparation and getting the divorce from Scotty out. Everyone wants a big party and Luke and Laura getting so many calls and post. This was probably GH’s sneaky way of showing the audience how crazy they are about LnL.it was amusing but I’m quite over it.

ONLY thing I loved about that story: Lee Baldwin getting the letter and keeping it! Edgy Lee is amazing. But poor Gail

 She gets yelled at quite a lot now

Alan-Monica. They were quite slow this year even though the Susan Moore story was developed fine. But we are getting there. Monica seems jealous of Alan and Susan’s happiness . Both get stuck in an elevator and She tells him that she doesn’t want a divorce. That was so hilarious! As much as LnL “revived” GH.. Alan-Monica-Lesley-Rick + Heather did too.

I love Steve but sometimes he can be so strict and mean lol But I do loved him putting heather in her place when she told him about Jeff’s letter and him wanting a divorce. Steve wasn’t having any of it lol

For those of you who love GH, Feb 1 1968. Recently posted. Talk about sweeps episodes!

Flawless, classic episode. Outstanding writing, directing and acting. Subsequently, Audrey loses the baby which set off a years long chain of events: Audrey is artificially inseminated then lies to Steve; they break up when she leaves to take care of Vietnam war babies; her sexless marriage to Tom Baldwin who raped her. Then Audrey lies that Tom's baby has died but she really had given the child to Mrs. Nelson who's later murdered and Audrey stands accused when the truth that the baby is alive comes out. Not to mention Audrey marrying alcoholic Jim Hobart.

Here's the GH 5th anniversary episode! Just posted yesterday. Amazing. So well done. Loved how the Hursleys reintroduced Phil Brewer (an original character) who was returning to the series (to be played by Martin West).  Love the trial scenes. On par with Edge of Night under Henry Slesar! The current entry level writers on GH should watch all of these shows and learn what daytime drama is all about.

The writers on GH should read and attend more plays and learn what drama itself is all about.

And the lady in that thumbnail looks very, very surprised, lol.

 

Oh, MST3K was so merciless toward those early GH episodes, lol.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
