GH: Classic Thread

Here's a question for Carl and Paul Raven, as well as anyone with knowledge of where to find old articles. A friend of my was telling me he's been trying to find a November 1963 issue of TV/Radio Mirror[or Radio/TV Mirror...whichever it went by that year]. Apparently it has a Who's Who on General Hospital article, and he's been searching E Bay for years. Does anyone know if it is available online anywhere? I went to Internet Archive on Open Library. com, but they only go to June of 63. Can anyone suggest other places to look?

Thanks in advance, it would be great to be able to pass the info along...

So Spence Andrews (Daniel J Travanti) had sos, Matt and Ryan...did they ever appear on the show?

This must be not too long after Dr Gina Dante(OBGYN) left, as Monica is waiting for a call from Dr. Dana Hotchkiss.

Mir. Kirkorian's wife Pat died(under Rick Webber's care)..Don't recall if they ever showed her..This was one of those things they repeated...Rick was sued in 76or77 for malpractice(I think it was Rick) by a Mr.Stuart Kennicott after his wife died, and in 83, Vincent Larick held Bobbie and(?Monica ) hostage when his wife died.

Famous Guest stars...Tanya Welk Falan Roberts(daughter of Lawrence Welk) appeared in 1971 as a tavern owner.

Blonde bomb Mamie Van Doren apeared in 75 or 76...Does anyone know if she played a character or herself. Every time I've seen her associated with the show, she doesn't have a character name, It would just say Mamie Van Doren Guest Star. Just wondering.

Lesley saving Monica's bacon...One of my favorite characters, Stella Fields, the harried maid of the original Q's.

Alan/Rick/Dr. John Priest in ambulance on the way to rescue...Priest looks familiar from nighttime...anyone recognize him?

Mamie Van Doren appeared as herself in early 76. I think the story was Lesley's millionaire husband Cameron through his connections introduced Mamie to Laura as a way of showing Lresley he was happy to have Laura in their lives (not true).

i'm sure at that time a young teen would have been thrilled to meet a fading b movie star from the 50's that she probably never heard of! I wonder how that stunt casting came about?

Here's another one of Stacey Baldwin as Laura. This time with Judy Lewis as adopted Mom Barbara Vining.

And might as well throw in some young Scotty Baldwin.

Sorry about margins.

Good work from Jackie Zeman.

I have no idea who those screaming teens are. At first I thought Melissa was the girl Bobbie took in for a while, but I think that was after Jake had left town.

I don't know who the doctor with Amy is either.

How many times was poor Ruby mugged anyway?

Was Tania's death after this? It's weird, he seemed to be written as the responsible one here.

I'd forgotten Patrick was still around by this point.

I get the feeling the show didn't really manage to bring in any popular teens after Blackie until Jagger/Brenda/etc.

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
