Honestly, I barely remember anything they did as a couple.  I just know I didn't mind them which is high praise from me lol.  I don't think Sam/Patrick were even upset when they broke up.  I think they are similar to what Dante/Sam are now.  The actors have chemistry but nothing is really happening.

Im finally done with June 1981!

God how I loved Slick Jones! He was one of the best additions to this story and the cast as Luke‘s friend and sidekick!

Luke was still in hiding from Tony Cassadine, Alexandria and Robert. Meanwhile they teamed up by now.. I loved how Slick and Rose were helping out Luke while Laura quit her job at ELQ and went on a small vacation. 
Now I know where Tracy got her genes from lol Damn Edward was fine with Alexandria and destroying Laura‘s reputation because of the ice princess. 
 

Luke finally got caught and idk but I love Tony Cassadine. But he’s dumb. He went with a truth serum and torture and Luke told him the truth that he doesn’t have the ice princess. Which was one of the biggest shocks for me after weeks of Luke in hiding mode and messing with the big guys and acting like he had that ice princess lol But even with the truth serum Tony didn’t believe him. 
Tony and Alexandria‘s backstory got more depth and development and they both ended up together again. While Alexandria is still stringing James Duvall along lol I really dig Tony-Alexandria tbh.

Robert saved Luke‘s life on the Cassadine boat and revealed his secret of being an agent to him and it was so much fun seeing O‘Reilley, Luke, Slick and Robert working together. 
 

Joe-Heather are bonding even though he still wants to get her behind bars for Diana‘s murder. We got so far that he finally figured out that Rick‘s gun is missing and that Heather must’ve stolen it on Christmas when she was in town. Finally some progress there 

im not even mentioning Hutch and his story anymore at this point. 3 months. Three! Just two attempts on his life. Get out of here

Noah is a weird character. Never saw the Noah Drake episodes but he behaves so weird torwards Rick and even to his love interest Bobbie. 
 

And what’s up with Claudia and Brian. I always liked them but damn girl. She became so vile and annoying and I kinda side with Brian and him keeping some distance. They are like constantly at each others throats at this point and make up ever two weeks. Ugh
 

we laugh about GH 2024 and how they have 100 characters but it wasn’t really better in 1981. They kept adding and adding characters to the canvas but what for? For an instance Kathy Summers. A girl living with the Q‘s coz Monica felt for her coz she went through the same and used her as a spy on Alan. They even gave her a little flirt with Noah to make Bobbie mad for a few episodes but otherwise there was nothing going on with her.

And James Duvall! This men is the reason the ice princess exists and the world destroying formula and the writers kept him hidden in his house for 4-5 months. Bruh got introduced on February 2nd 1981 and he was still being kept hidden by June 30th of 1981 even though he is a powerful scientist? Come on man. Can’t be serious.

Noah Drake has been on the show for 3 months and behaved like a spoiled brat torwards all characters and being Bobbie’s love interest but nothing else. I know he was probably a last minute addition coz we lost Jeff Webber.

Hutch character being pointless. I’d rather take Nelle from the 2010‘s over Hutch character at this point. 
or Amy. Hey I like Amy Vinning but her being the gossip girl of the town and having her own so much being self righteous and gossiping is really annoying and grating on my nerves. 

Or Dan Rooney. After they broke up Jessie-Dan. Was Dan‘s character really that needed? I mean I get why they kept him for a little romance with Ruby and having friends for Steve Hardy in his age range but come on. 

or Jeremy.. Was that boy really needed for so long on the show? He’s such a know it all and being annoying like his mother. Why they kept Anne Logan after Jeff left is a mystery to me. I mean they even axed cast members before who stayed for 9-10 years between the 60‘s and 70‘s but kept Anne Logan for so long? UGH!

As much as I like Susan Moore why did they invest so hard in her character? She barely shared scenes with her evil Cousine Heather. She was always a mistress. Only big thing she got going on was the Alan-Susan and her pregnancy story. Which dragged on for most of 1981 by this point. Maybe it will be more exciting when the baby is born. But come on. She was a mistress to Mitch a year ago and is now a mistress to Alan.. but I do believe that Alan actually really loved her.

But overall the show is so good in June 1981. I just want hutch story to end. I also want Diana‘s murder to finally be solved for god damn sake

I was just thinking about Robert Kelker-Kelly and how he played a cryogenically-frozen Stavros. Shouldn’t they have just brought back Stavros in 1996 with Stephen Nichols in the role instead of creating Stefan? Wouldn’t that have been easier and made more sense?

The intention was that he was dead when they brought the Cassadines back. His resurrection and that entire terrible JFP story was just awful, and almost cost her the EP job.

Plus, it was inherent in the story that Laura and Stefan had a connection right from the beginning. As time went on that connection was revealed to be her only happiness on the island, and possibly that Nikolas was his son.

If it was Stavros, Luke kills him and any jeopardy to Luke and Laura’s marriage is gone. The point was to give them emotional material to play that could rock the foundation of the Spencer family. Stavros gives Luke and Lucky a direction for their anger, and Nikolas would have seen through his family conditioning about Laura much sooner. Luke’s simmering anger without release is what killed their marriage. Laura’s ability to connect with Nikolas would have eliminated some of her desperation, which was what broke her family apart from her side as far as Luke and Lucky.

I’m through with October 2016 completely now… I can see why GH won at the daytime Emmy’s for 2016-17.. This year was so balanced, always fast paced and most of the cast got their fair share of screen time and we got great acting and even some balanced and GOOD writing.

September-October already finished off the two major story’s before November sweeps. I guess it had more to do with two main cast member leaving.

We came to the end of the GH Serial Killer Story. Burgi was a great recast for Paul and even though some of the writing was so-so he delievered what they threw at him. He took Tracy hostage and wanted to kill her off. Even though Paul was a villain and I did think they could’ve done more with the serial killer plot but they did finish it on a high tbh. I even felt sorry for Paul coz of what he felt about what happened to his daughter.

I know how people feel about the Corinthos Clan and Sonny/Carlt in general. BUT during the mid 2010’s the corinthos clan felt like every other family we all loved during the 80’s/90’s episodes. They were a unit and loving and caring and only the Julian Jerome thing was hanging over them and Sonny actually did came to his senses and wanted to let the justice system take of him. They failed. He ordered a hit but called his gut and cancelled it after a really well acted scene between MB as Sonny and Griffin. But it was too late. 
With October we came to the climax of the Morgan Corinthos storyline. I still hate Ava for tempering with his meds which she feels guilty about. Which she should. But Morgan really lost his mind and his way when Kiki was about to break up with him for Dillon and when he thought they slept together. It was so heartbreaking to see Morgan suffer for weeks and going through all of his bipolar and then stealing Julian’s car with the bomb in it. Jason/Drew managed to make him stop and get out of the car and it exploded. I cried for like 10 minutes straight even though I knew it would happen. Great acting..

Morgan’s death destroyed the well bonded corinthos clan and gave them something real and heartbreaking stuff to deal with. Carly moved out and blamed Sonny, Michael got angry with Sonny and Sonny lost his mind.. The grieving family had so much material and the actors and actresses did so well with it. They deserved their win for best daytime drama. Can’t change my mind!

there was Nelle looking out for Avery and being there for the family and even looked out for Sonny. Idk. People can find me weird but with those Nelle-Sonny scenes I kinda wanted them to hook up. I even screamed at my screen: do it already lol 

Sonny wanted to end his life and OFC who popped up? Right… Robin! I’m not excited to see her coz she returned way too many times with her short stints that they don’t feel special anymore.. And if that chick brings up stone one more time.. ugh. They are milking it and I was not having it and Sonny wasn’t having it either lol 

The Claudette story got wrapped up too before November sweeps. 3 main story’s ending in October. I have to say that as dull as this story started it was still touching and good finished. Maxie even got kidnapped by mistake and I loved seeing KS as Maxie a bit more feisty again. This story made me fall in love with Maxie and Nathan again. Their chemistry was so natural. But Claudette’s gone and left her daughter with Griffin. Griffin is charlottes dad instead of Nathan. Sure sure. I really like Griffin. No joke here but the actor and I went to the same bathroom in 2018 at the convention and I was so nervous that a cast member was using the bathroom and I kinda hurried up to get out there lol

Curtis-Jordan have chemistry. They should’ve done something with it.. Valerie-Curtis ain’t it. Valerie was the most unnecessary introduction to the show..

Bobbie got a few episodes and she is so mean to Nelle.. I was like: Bobbie. Chill out man. Nelle is just helping out lol 

GOSH I’m so over Julian Jerome and Alexis Davis ! Alexis starts to being a drunk and talking to herself about what she’s been through. Girl STFU! At first I felt sorry for her but now I want her off my screen and I forgot how unlikeable Julian was and can’t stand him. Makes me miss the Julian Jerome/Charlie years with Kim Nero. lol 

They brought back Valentine Cassadine! Now it’s getting interesting and that he was involved with Claudette makes it even more interesting!

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
