This is truly an awesome find Carl. Early Tracy being all nicey nicey. I loved that Gail saw through Tracy. If only some of the David Hamilton story would pop up. It does make me sad watching classic GH. Since GH has gone off the rails. Over the years. The episode was actually about the GH staff. And their friends and family. Instead of played out mobsters, rapists and serial killers. Just love all those 70's commercials.

I remember reading that Patsy Rahn's Monica was very out of control (didn't she even try to kill Rick when he was in a coma?). I wonder if this was an attempt to clean her up for viewers before the quad kicked into gear. 

 

Thank you @victoria foxton. Love that gif of Tracy. I wasn't sure if this one was around or not, it's so hard to remember what used to be on Youtube, but it was new to me so I am happy if it was for others too. Hopefully that channel may put up some more content. The quality really impressed me - many GH episodes from this period are very degraded.

 

Sorry, I forgot to tag @jam6242 and @vetsoapfan in case they haven't seen this one either.

39 years ago today, Demi Moore debuted as Jackie Templeton. Incidentally her first scene was with Genie Francis!

 

And I can see now why they cast Kim Delaney as today’s Jackie. She could definitely pass for an older believable version!

Fantastic episode!

 

Good quality GH of this vintage is really rare, and it’s so great seeing.

 

That Jesse and Bobbie scene was really interesting.  Always great seeing Gail and Lee Baldwin.

 

This period of the show fascinates me so much.  You can tell why the show started to gain viewers, it’s got a great mix of new characters interacting with established ones and all the stories have movement.  What I think of as Monty’s style is cemented once PFS gets there, so this early stuff is an interesting mix of classic soap drama turned up a couple of notches, as opposed to later in her run when it really was more like a modern primetime show.  Even a talk to scene here has a point of view and more going on than just repeating the plot.

I've been discouraged recently to see so many videos being censored/deleted from the internet. I had saved many old soaps to a massive 64-GB USB device over the years, but it mysteriously become corrupted and unplayable this week (all the file names have turned to gibberish), so all my rare old soaps are lost forever. I am bereft! I went to youtube to find and re-download certain things (like the famous 1974 Alice/Rachel fight from AW), but they have been removed.

 Seeing vintage soaps like this GH episode (even if it's incomplete) is a treat.

I'm so sorry to hear that. There's so much I wish I'd saved. Hopefully that 1974 clip can come around again. I talked some with munecojim on one of my Youtube channels and they seemed to think it was the AMC videos. If so, then it's just another example of this genre alienating the very fans who keep it going.

I don't know what's going on with the internet lately. Friends tell me that their Twitter and Facebook videos are suddenly being removed--sometimes after years of being left alone--for copyright violations. It's been reported everywhere that the infamous pornhub.com has deleted MILLIONS of its vids. Soaps are disappearing from youtube after being available for years. That's why I decided to check my "Favorites" USB key with all my classic TV content. I was horrified to discover it won't play anymore. I have no clue about how to repair or retrieve data from a USB device. I may have to start saving all my stuff privately, "in the clouds," as they say.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.

      I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.

      Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.

      Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?

      We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too

      We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.

      You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

      Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.

      Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
