GH: Classic Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
