GH: Classic Thread

[Franko]

I'm not sure what her exact episode counts were, but it feels like Ruby/Norma Connelly dodged a bullet by no longer working at GH and instead becoming proprietor at Kelly's.

There were periods of time after Ruby took over Kelly’s when that seemed like the central hub of the show.  Everybody went to Kelly’s.  Younger characters worked there, troublemakers lived upstairs or ended up there for some tough love from Ruby.

[Darn]

And I love that it's still used so frequently and a legacy character in Cameron even works there. Did they ever try to phase it out? I was watching some clips from the late 2000s/early 2010s a few weeks ago and characters were frequenting some ugly little (I mean tiny) coffee place for a while.

I'm not sure I remember that one? I do know Julian's embarrassing pub they tried to give him when they pretended he was going straight as a good man. That is still around and I think Phyllis, Sonny and Nina's buddy from Nixon Falls owns it now.

It's 2023! Learn to timestamp!

In all seriousness though I have no fùcking idea where this is supposed to be. I have a very very vague recollection of it. I don't think it was seen again after the Guza regime ended. I don't think it ever really supplanted Kelly's. It reminds me a loooottt of the dual coffee shop set used on both AMC and OLTL 2.0 lol (which was a lot bigger). I'll have to rewatch them again.

Fascinating !!! I love hearing more about Iris as we never knew much about her.

please keep it coming. 🥹

[titan1978]

IIRC, Tammy the former sex worker ended up running it for Luke and Bobbie for a period of time before she was phased out.  Not sure if Bobbie still owns it or not.

I can’t remember if anyone in the Dillon/Georgie era worked there or lived there.  I think the apartments upstairs haven’t been referenced in quite a while.  Does anyone know when the exterior became such a focal point for scenes?

I have really fond memories of the early 90’s younger characters hanging out and working there, and Ruby being involved with them.  Especially Brenda.

[Taoboi]

I definitely get a grin every time I see Kelly's being in use. Because there was a stretch of time it was kept alive only by reference from the characters than actually seen. And the fact that Cameron works there...like his mother before him...warms my heart. 

 

I really want to say that Bobbie still does own it...unless she sold it off during the period of time when I was not regularly viewing.

 

And I feel like the apartments upstairs were referenced within the last year or two, but don't quote me on that.

According to the GH wiki, Bobbie still owns it. Nikolas attempted to rent a room for Esme above Kelly's last year.
