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.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
