Yeah, the two Pierce's on the same network and similar time period align with that.  So I think Bradley White played the part initially then Youngblood may have been the recast briefly and we moved on to Tuc Watkins.  Wiki says Dorman had ties with Damian as well and I don't recall that at all.

I’ve finally watched the entire September 2016! That month felt like a whole sweeps and i was sucking it up!

Sam/Jason (Drew) got married.

The Julian story came to a climax. His trial started and Alexis and the whole case fell apart and Julian got free. But oh god I forgot how annoying Julian was during all of this. He really thought he could just walk back into his old life and pick it up with everyone. I can’t believe that there were still people who wanted Julexis back. That’s insane man!

Hayden-Elizabeth got revealed to be half-sisters. That whole plot was handled well to be fair. The serial killer plot put Liz in danger and everyone thought Hayden pushed her down the stairs. I loved how Finn-Curtis helped her out and cleared her name. Hayden saved Liz life and spent her rare blood she shared with Liz. Good stuff, good stuff.

The serial killer story. I said it before and I’m saying it again: it was a half asses story. This serial killer story went on for nearly a year and they just picked up the space coz Burgi/Paul was leaving the show for primetime. But I’ll do admit that it became entertaining.

if there was ever an actress on GH who was phoning it in and wanted out of this show than it is Teresa Castillo as Sabrina. She kinda used her maternity leave and returned and still just made it to 28 episodes between January til September. Crazy lol BUT they handled her death and murder pretty well. Damn I cried my eyes out and was in shock when Paul killed Sabrina and she became the next victim after attacking Monica and getting figured out by Sabrina. Heavy stuff. But u could tell Burgi was out the show coz he became sloppy. The Susan Hornsby reveal and why Paul did the killings were so last minute coz the actor was out on his way lol Tracy figuring her ex husband out and having a one on one with him was epic. Anna returning and figuring out that Paul was the killer in 1 episode was so half assed lol But the final showdown in September was Anna finding Tracy and Paul and Dillon entering the scene where he tried to kill Tracy. I had goosebumps. I liked Burgi as Paul Hornsby and think he wasn’t a bad recast. He wasn’t even bad written but it could’ve been handled a bit better or with a little bit more time. I still enjoyed the serial killer story in September!

And we got the Nathan-Claudette-Griffin-Maxie story back up front and Claudette revealing that she has a daughter “Charlotte” and that it’s hers with Nathan. I don’t know why but I didn’t mind this story but didn’t care for it either tbh.

Morgan having a go with Julian was one of my personal favorites too. U could tell he’s like his father. But Morgan being back in school and then cheating? Bruh what a lame ass story lol

The May 1995 episode is a great find from the Labine era.  I've seen that mob shooting montage itself—which, unlike any number throughout the late '90s and '00s, involved characters who were genuinely trying to extricate themselves from that kind of life of violence, and the emotion was earned—a number of times over the years.  But I'm not sure the full episode has seen the light of day in almost 30 years. 

Although the shooting happened at night, the show opened with everyone waking up/eating breakfast, and various characters dropped in briefly throughout the day without necessarily appearing in all or most of the acts: Lucy only showed up mid-episode/midday for an ELQ board meeting (that was indirectly related to the mob war), early Emily talked about A Wrinkle in Time and her other favorite books, and Bobbie was in just one scene: doing a good deed for Emily's dying mother, Paige, out of friendship to Monica.  In fact, there were a number of fairly extended scenes between friends: Monica/Paige, Mac/Felicia (who were broken up at this point and years away from a reconciliation), and Brenda/Robin. 

This episode also featured the full end credits, including non-contract players.  Some soap marginalia: Larry Lau, presumably the same actor who had played Greg on AMC, was credited as a coroner (I'm at a loss as to what story at this time that would have involved).  Also, "Sonny's guy" was played by Mike Sabitino.  My guess is this wasn't the '90s soap hopper Michael Sabatino (and Crystal Chappell's husband), who probably would have merited a character with a name at that point in his daytime career, but I can't find any actor on IMDB who spelled their name that way.  Most likely this was the Mike Sabatino with a number of '90s credits, including that summer's (in)famous Batman Forever.

I am pretty sure it's May 12, 1995 and @DeliaIrisFan is referring to the Lullaby Massacre where Luke/Laura's house, Luke's club, and Sonny's apartment get shot up while Laura is singing a lullaby to baby Lulu.  

That channel has the full episode, which I have never seen and is a rare gem, but the actual ending montage is pretty famous because Brenda gets shot at in the shower and Stone gets shot leading him to tell Robin he has AIDS and has been circulating around for years.

No, not this particular episode.  I was pretty young and was honing my vcr skills at the time lol.  I have of course seen the edits of this a million times though.  I think this is a great montage, but if I was ranking mob related montages I would have Clink Boom and Amazing Grace ahead of it.

    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.

    • Oh God, she's back? I thought those first scenes were well-intentioned but hysterical.
