GH: Classic Thread

I would absolutely rank TB second to SJB.  In fact, I liked her more than SJB, but I can recognize the greatness of SJB's Carly.  I think TB was perfect for Carly in that moment.  Good romantic chemistry with MB, slightly less volatile, great at emotional scenes, an ease with her most important co stars, etc.  Could I see her playing Carly now?  Not really.  Honestly her work as Ava is so boring I don't even know why I loved her so much.

Her work as Kim you mean? Ava was Carly from ATWT.

Speaking of that, Carly Tenny and SJB's Carly Roberts had alot of storyline parallels. Child passed between multiple baby daddies while truly in love woth one guy. Blonde, scheming, and the show's outcast.

Ahhhhhh copy!!! My familiarity with DOOL is not too strong!

Kim's story was poorly done. she was never used as the villain she could've been. I would've rather seen her break up Sonny and Carly's marriage than Nina, had she been written more similar to the character she played as Carly. Sarah Brown's return as Claudia was a better done storyline with more long reaching consequences.

Great chat w/ vets Kin Shriner and Jackie Zeman...Maurice is so eager to hear stories from GH's glory days.  So nice to hear mentions of Chris Robinson, Gerald Gordon and Steve Bond.

Can't wait for Pt 2.

Saw Kin posted this throwback on Twitter. He was a cutie back then, and I think the only character on GH I have liked as both a nice guy and a total unapologetic scumbag.  Scotty is such a great character.

Great stuff in Pt 2.  Recollections of Rick Springfield, Demi Moore and John Stamos from their GH days.

I don’t understand why Maurice always asks guests about drug use in the 80s...Tristan Rogers refused to discuss it and Kin looks nonplussed with the question, but he does let a few tales loose.

Overall, excellent tidbits for 80-era GH fans…

While I can't know Mo's inspiration for asking, after reading Larry Lau's blogs on his experience with drugs in the 80s, it lead me to believe that the influence was prevalent and drug use may often be the answer as to why certain characters were written off prematurely or good actors were never seen again.

    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
