I’m done with October 1981! Heather is cleared so far even though Burt Ramsey just wouldn’t let it go. If it was 2025 Heather could easily sue him for harassment at this point lol 

Joe and Heather are so sweet . They are finally together. But in what world did he thought it was a good idea to invite those two lady’s to dinner? Anne having a go with Heather was the first time i appericiate Anne’s acting again. But she is just so annoying. I mean she got involved with a married men and made plans with him to get married while his sick wife is locked up coz she was not herself. If I was Heather I would’ve torn her apart too lol Who is Anne to judge? Can’t wait for her to finally leave.

we finally got Lila Quartermaine with a lot of screentime! Alexandria’s Will causes some great Quartermaine tension and Lila kinda putting everyone in their place lol Hell even Susan Moore! Gosh I love that old lady!

Luke and Laura. Ugh I love them and I get that during 79-81/82 they were THAT pop culture phenomenon but damn. They really dragged this wedding preparation and getting the divorce from Scotty out. Everyone wants a big party and Luke and Laura getting so many calls and post. This was probably GH’s sneaky way of showing the audience how crazy they are about LnL.it was amusing but I’m quite over it.

ONLY thing I loved about that story: Lee Baldwin getting the letter and keeping it! Edgy Lee is amazing. But poor Gail

 She gets yelled at quite a lot now

Alan-Monica. They were quite slow this year even though the Susan Moore story was developed fine. But we are getting there. Monica seems jealous of Alan and Susan’s happiness . Both get stuck in an elevator and She tells him that she doesn’t want a divorce. That was so hilarious! As much as LnL “revived” GH.. Alan-Monica-Lesley-Rick + Heather did too.

I love Steve but sometimes he can be so strict and mean lol But I do loved him putting heather in her place when she told him about Jeff’s letter and him wanting a divorce. Steve wasn’t having any of it lol

For those of you who love GH, Feb 1 1968. Recently posted. Talk about sweeps episodes!

Flawless, classic episode. Outstanding writing, directing and acting. Subsequently, Audrey loses the baby which set off a years long chain of events: Audrey is artificially inseminated then lies to Steve; they break up when she leaves to take care of Vietnam war babies; her sexless marriage to Tom Baldwin who raped her. Then Audrey lies that Tom's baby has died but she really had given the child to Mrs. Nelson who's later murdered and Audrey stands accused when the truth that the baby is alive comes out. Not to mention Audrey marrying alcoholic Jim Hobart.

Here's the GH 5th anniversary episode! Just posted yesterday. Amazing. So well done. Loved how the Hursleys reintroduced Phil Brewer (an original character) who was returning to the series (to be played by Martin West).  Love the trial scenes. On par with Edge of Night under Henry Slesar! The current entry level writers on GH should watch all of these shows and learn what daytime drama is all about.

The writers on GH should read and attend more plays and learn what drama itself is all about.

And the lady in that thumbnail looks very, very surprised, lol.

 

Oh, MST3K was so merciless toward those early GH episodes, lol.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
