GH: Classic Thread

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.

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 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 )

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
