It'll be very interesting to see what plays out here staff-wise. I don't know which of the current crop of writers are solid. And again I believe a number of young writers of color are still on staff at GH brought in over the most recent years; folks can correct me if I'm wrong. As we've all noted, Mulcahey and Korte are the first key GH writers installed that didn't have their careers made by Frank or come from OLTL since before he and Ron took over.

Catherine LePard, Shannon Peace & Stacey Pulwer are the three names I've seen in the past year that are new (to me, any way). I'd be okay with some staff staying, but I also believe some of Mulcahey's associates should be coming in. Mulcahey comes from a time where when a new head writer was instilled, they brought their writing staff with them. Now? It isn't that way. And I know Charlotte Gibson is still employed (having joined in 2001, I believe?) so some post-Mulcahey's last tenure are still there on the writing staff.

But how great would it be to wake up in an alternate reality to news that Sony/CBS has hired Curlee/Demorest to take over Y&R and given them complete creative control to do as they’d like?

On the one hand, it wouldn't be anything at all like Bill Bell's Y&R.  But, on the other hand, at least Y&R would be watchable again.

Catherine LePard?  From "7th Heaven"?  Wow.

Yes @Khan it is the same Catherine LePard, who seems to be credited as "Cathy LePard" on General Hospital.

Cute seeing Sally Field reference Frank Smith & Luke and Laura's return.  1990s GH for the win!

That's right, I forgot Charlotte Gibson.

Does someone know when the 9000th episode aired of GH in 1998?

CBS offered the "hot-shot" theater director a crack at TV directing. In 1954 she directed the pilot for "Secret Storm" and continued with that show for 10 years, including the short stint Joan Crawford did on "SS" for ailing daughter Christina, which is recounted in the book and film "Mommie Dearest"

Here they are. I believe they are in Gloria Monty's office. And, we see who is sitting in her chair. And, also we see the look on Miz Monty's face! Almost as good as being a fly on the wall. 

Most likely that was on set, not Gloria's office unless she had it decorated like a living room.

Oh, okay, I fixated on the big desk. Now I see it's a table. You're right, living room set.

Just so happens the Luke and Laura Roseanne "crossover" came up on my Youtube.

The Roseanne/Sandra Bernhard scene is interesting for it being very GH 1993 specific - e.g. the joke about Jason going to take off his shirt for Brenda at the docks (an exaggeration of course) would have dated pretty quickly as she became involved with (and her airtime totally consumed by) Sonny soon after this would have originally aired (and also wasn't Steve Burton rumoured to have had a no shirtless clause in later years?).

I always liked that they poked fun without denigrating soaps in a mean spirited way. Which is what normally happens in situations like this.

I hate what Roseanne has become. That show was so important to me as a kid growing up in the Midwest with a family dynamic similar to the Connors. 

The Conners has carried the torch very well for the original show at least, even if I am multiple seasons behind. I've been very happy with what I've watched.

I absolutely loved the Luke/Laura visit on Roseanne. I watched both shows at the time and lost my mind.

I started watching today... episodes starting in 2021... with Esme coming on. I like the show. It's growing on me and I like the creepy horror film atmosphere. The background music is horribly loud, but I am getting used to it. Is this storyline with Ava... Esme... good? With no spoilers, I would be grateful if someone can give me thumbs up if it's good or I should watch a different year, period. Thanks.

I'm not sure where you are in the conflict between Ava & Esme but here they are one day with their stunt doubles. 

Still have to wait for the rest of my 1981 episodes from my source

I started to watch some Lilly-Sonny-Brenda scenes. Damn Brenda got cray cray lol 

Ofc Sonny loved her BUT I will always give it to Sonny coz he really tried to be a good husband to her and that was enough for Lilly. I get that Brenda and Sonny Fans hated Lilly but it was juicy drama like when Brenda used Jax or when she got herself into a snow storm. 

Lilly was so loyal to Sonny. Brenda even wanted to betray him to the cops but then pretends like they belong together? Can‘t make that up lol LILLY would’ve never done that. 

Best Line ever from Brenda was: Why does he look so hungry? (Whoever wrote the dialogue back then was on fire )
