I do think Emily definitely got shrill at times in those years, but I don't think it was all she did. She still could be very loving with her parents and A.J. She never lost me.

If she's not able to in person, I hope they'd at least have her on the phone with Laura, like they did when Monica talked to Liz during Epiphany's memorial.

As for Monica's memorial, this isn't the Guza/JFP era where Lila died and they had to fly in Lucy, Kevin, Robin, Lee, Gail, Felicia, and whoever else to say one or two lines and then bounce. Basically everyone important Monica interacted with in the past 35 years is either on the show currently or dead (in real life or on the show). Between who they've got, who they can probably get for an appearance, and flashbacks, they've got enough to do this right.

ICAM!!

Partnerships like Marco and Tracy's are what I live for as a soaps fan.

And now comes the part where, once again, I urge GH to cast Justin Deas, a.k.a. SON's Public Enemy #1, as Tracy's new love interest.

I do wonder if they ever had him mention Llanview.

I'm still stymied by the magazine print preview I saw not long ago from late '91 which indicated he would reappear on OLTL in time for Megan's "exit" the following year (death). I wonder what happened there.

There's a line about halfway through this where Tracy says, "I don't enjoy being right, Paul. It's a burden I've had to bear my whole life."

In the hands of many, that line would be played for high camp, or uber-dramatically, and I imagine all the people out there who just see soaps as a big joke or clawfest would eat that up. Instead, Jane plays the pain of Tracy, very matter of fact, deeply sad. It's a beautiful moment.

And of course you could say how deluded is she, but even if you say that, you understand her in that moment. You look at her point of view, all the carnage and chaos of the Quartermaines that she probably thinks she could have stopped if she'd had the respect. You watch through her eyes. That's something soaps have lost when either making everything about plot or just trying to get us to root for TPTB pets. We don't have to agree with Tracy...we just have to understand her. 

I laughed when Paul had the guitar. I guess that explains Dillon's musical career. 

I wish the show had done more to have some serious moments between Tracy and Larry Ashton (were there ever any? and was there anything of value in his '10s returns?) as he was clearly such a horrible betrayal of her trust that she then spent many years going for "respectable" guys like Mitch Williams and Paul who under the generic face were real sleazebags.

I love the music cue at the end when Tracy finds the earring.

As cynical and grasping as Tracy can be, she's also someone who understands what motivates others better than anyone, even if she has gained such knowledge from living a lifetime of disappointment and heartache.  (I've always imagined Edward telling her, "You're not beautiful, Tracy, and you're too intelligent; but you have a lot of money, which is all that truly matters to a man.")

Ironically, Justin Deas once filled in for Gerald Anthony on OLTL.  There's even a clip of him on YT as Marco - he must've subbed for him after leaving ATWT - but it's probably not available anymore.

"People who look with longing through a window see more than those who are inside." (It's specifially from Vincent Canby's review of Goodfellas, but good lord, is it applicable to everyday life.) As for Edward's appraisal, which I have no trouble imagining, either, the best case scenario would be his and/or Tracy pretending those words were spoken out of realism as opposed to cruelty.

    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
