It’s really interesting to watch 1978 episodes.  It’s compelling, but not quite as slick as Monty would have the show even just a little bit later.  PFS and Monty really made an awesome soap team on GH.  Marland laid the groundwork and then PFS’s team really knocked it out of the park.

I know Luke Spencer is one of the best and most beloved GH Characters in the history of that damn show.. I actually liked him too most of the time.

But i rewatched some classics and i am quiet shocked.. Luke and Laura were on the run that summer of 1980 and when they returned Luke treated Laura so poorly coz he felt betrayed by her and didn't gave her a 2nd chance there.

I mean that Luke has some nerves. I mean it's not like he raped her and made her life a living hell before they turned into something romantic.. But the minute Laura makes a mistake he is all angry and bitter against her.

I hated Luke during the fall of 1980

Stuart Damon was so talented. He could play just about any type of scene. He was especially good during his drug addiction story. I like this scene with Michael.

so i watched 198 episodes of GH in german (that's my mother language) where it aired back in the day.. They started in february 1980 and i am on November 24th.

I have two big questions and i don't mean to sound rude or anything but did anyone actually liked Anne Logan back in the day? Like really enjoyed her stint?

I watched 198 Episodes from Episode 4316 to 4513 and have the feeling that her character did nothing for the show. She was so damn annoying with her all mighty morals and whinny behavior... I don't know how the relationship will end with Jeff yet but i will get there soon but i can't wait. I heard he slept with Diana and i am so down for it. He had more chemistry with Diana in their scenes they had then with Anne.

Anne is all tease but nothing much.

And my second question is: What was the intention of Alexandria Quartermaine? Was she introduced to fill Tracy Quartermaines hole? I mean Alexandria feels like a Tracy clone and not really a good one to be honest but i can tolerate her for now. Good thing about it is that we get so see more Edward during those episodes again.

If i were a Luke and Laura shipper i would be damn upset right now. I mean they gave us a whole damn Summer of Luke and Laura just to break them up and letting Luke getting involved with that Alexandria Quartermaine and her ice princess business.. They mentioned the Cassadines already by November 1980.. Interesting.

    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.

    • When written correctly or played correctly the antagonist will often have a sizable following, although this can go too far. It's why having a balance and allowing your heroes to be called out by other characters is so important. Speaking of that, I did not realize Sonni got a lengthy montage when Michelle Forbes left, or that Pam Long was willing to showcase Sonni/Josh so much for her farewell. The care taken reminds me of when Anne Heche left AW a few years later. Given that Sonni was brought in an as interloper, it shows just how much respect the show had for Michelle's talents and how much she captivated viewers in those two years.

        Oh I think Holly gives Blake a smack in the mouth. I think it was during Liz's early days as Blake as that is when they become estranged for a good while, although I may be wrong.
    • Billy slapping Mindy is a turning point in '90. And I feel there was a slap between Holly and Blake during the Ross thing.
    • That definitely was her voice. 
    • I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

    • GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
