GH: Classic Thread

I also think the whole mess with Laura and Jackie Templeton and David Gray would have best been avoided entirely.

I agree. I also think AMC's production team saw how miserably GH had handled GF's departure and resolved not to make the same mistake when Kim Delaney (ex-Jenny) decided not to renew her contract, as Jenny's death in that jet ski explosion left ZERO room for doubt.

Thanks, @Paul Raven , for another, great article!

It was noticeable almost immediately that Claire Labine slowed things way down when she got to GH. But it facilitated rich dialogue and exploration of the characters. I feel like we really got to know the characters during that period of time. It wasn’t boring to me because it was a deeper look at all of them.

ICAM! Characters I had written off as one-note - such as Sonny and Brenda - gained new dimensions under her pen; and how she was able to recapture the spirit of Luke and Laura while still acknowledging the passing of time remains a masterclass in how you handle those kinds of situations, too.
