Alan being gone left a huge hole in the show.  Not just as a Q or his relationship with Monica.  His scenes as a doctor, and his ability as a character to go from caring doctor to manipulative bastard never felt false.  Alan was all those things.

 

The loss of Alan and the diminshing of the Q’s also let out all the tension in Jason.  When he had that Jason Q past as a constant reminder at odds with Jason Morgan, it gave him more depth as a character.

I feel the same way as you both. It was a MASSIVE mistake. Just like when Phelps killed off Maureen on GL.

 

It really pissed me off and still does. A lot of things the show has done over the years pisses me off. They have little regard for their vets, still, and it's a real shame. So many are active and vital! DON'T KILL THEM OFF! lol

 

Ron really pissed me off bringing back Duke and AJ only to kill them again. Why am I stuck watching Julian and Franco get redeemed over and over again in an effort to make them work? I'd much rather be watching Duke Lavery play daddy to Griffin and AJ in a relationship with Liz. Instead we get Julian and Franco propped ad nauseum. And Nina running her mouth yet ultimately adding nothing to the show.

 

Sigh.

 

SIGH.

I really love Denise Alexander and Lesley in those scenes.  As Lesley, she refuses to collapse under the weight of her nemesis, Monica's, venomous insults.  She won't give her that satisfaction.  It's good (and rare these days) to see a female stand up for herself in that fashion.

So many people I know readily admit to loathing Sonny, Carly, Michael Easton's 900 roles, etc.,  on today's GH, but lots of characters from the past seemed universally loved by the vast majority of viewers: Lesley Webber, Steve Hardy, Jessie Brewer, etc. Why can't soaps create likeable characters anymore?

Oh my mother hated Lesley back in the day.  Hated her.    She didn’t care for Audrey either.  So it’s not just modern fans.

 

I wasn’t really that fond of Robert.  But when he came back during the contagion story, I was shocked how happy I was to have him back and how much I had truly missed him.

      Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

      Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

      Knots Landing

        I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.

      I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.

      That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
