GH: Classic Thread

Doug Sheehan was like a modern-day Jimmy Stewart.  He was easygoing, had a good sense of humor, and was someone both men and women could like for different reasons.

He and Jackie Z had a chemistry that was palpable, but the writers for whatever reason did not go there. Especially, when Joe’s dad died and they were trying to get the goods on Frank Smith. Joe and Bobbie were constantly in each other’s orbit, but alas they just kept Joe in Anne’s orbit, and then finally Heather got her hooks in him.

Joe was paired with Heather though and they were probably second only to Luke and Laura in terms of airtime during most of 1981. Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang played during their scenes on a few occasions, so I consider it their defacto theme song lol.

A really good scene with Alexis and Ava about Julian from early last year, encapsulating the relationship - the kicker is the end. I'd never seen this before. Maura is seriously camping it up in high form, but that's what she's good at in this role, and it plays well with NLG. This is the most use I've had for Alexis, who's seemed very tired for a very long time, in awhile and Nancy (who I also had my fill of some time ago) was very good.

The LSD episode is on YouTube, I’ve seen it a couple of times.  I have just never seen Peter confront Heather and his death.  I love Brooke Bundy, but Diana is always such a mess and I’m not sure it suits her.  I also get Jeff has been manipulated/lied to by one woman after another.  But he is always such a jerk!

When exactly did Thom Racina officially take over in '81 during the strike? Wikipedia is less than helpful on this, citing the Corringtons replacing him in '82 but I believe Racina has said repeatedly he was at GH til '84 and it was certainly my impression he had an extensive run.

Good question, @Vee.  That's always baffled me as well.

My understanding was that Racina and Leah Laiman were GH's unofficial HW's for a spell, but that Robert J. Shaw received the actual, official HW'ing credit.

Also, IIRC, Laiman and Racina did work for awhile under Pat Falken Smith until she returned to DAYS, as well as for the Corringtons, and for Anne Howard Bailey, who replaced them, before Laiman and Racina, too, went off to DAYS to work with Sheri Anderson.

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • 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!

    • 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.

    •   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.
