GH: Classic Thread

I am just amazed at the compact size of the regular cast in that photo. Even now, with budgets being slashed everywhere you turn, it seems as if the shows (and GH in particular) keep taking on more and more performers.

Allow me to echo Carl's welcome, depboy! :)

So many missed stories with Monica. Sonny is her arch enemy as of the end of the 1990's. A good writer/EP would play that up. What if Sonny was shot in the heart, and Monica had to operate on him. He has a blood clot during the surgery, is saved but has a stroke. Sonny is compromised, Monica isn't sure if she did everything she could, or if she cares what happened to him, and begins a journey to fill that house and herself with life again while Sonny is fighting to either give up, or try to win his life back. A story neither one have had before, with stakes and both characters not being compromised.

I wish they had done something with Noah and Monica when Monica initially started having alcohol problems following Alan's death. Since its been established that Noah started to spiral downward following Patrick's mother's death, Noah could have ended up her sponsor and a relationship could have developped... further tested when Bobbie returned with unsolved feelings for Noah and a Alan's lookalike showing up in town and revealed as realAlan down-the-line. (At this point i would take Stuart Damon back regardless of how stupid the storyline so Im down with a switched lookalike story)

Not utilizing Monica as anything more than an extra sucks! With all of her potential storylines as a widow...especially the cancer story, I just don't understand what TIIC are thinking. What about a return for Mike Corbin, Sonny's father. I know Ron Hale retied, but it's been long enough to recast. Imagine Monica and Mike getting together and Sonny becoming [gasp!] family! Too many missed opportunities, too little time.

For long time viewers[ like the 1970s], I was reading recaps from 74-78. Does anyone know the character names of Kira Faulkner's mother or Mary Ellen Dante's father? They apparently were in their respective children's storylines[ Kira wanting to have children with Steve Hardy, and Mary Ellen trying to kill Terri Arnett]. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
