Daily TV Serials, March 1975, a somewhat scathing, but honest review of GH by Jon-Michael Reed.

Thank you for sharing that. Great review - critical without being nasty or hyperbolic. Makes me feel like I was actually watching the show. Daily TV Serials was a very good soap magazine, very adult, not needlessly catty the way some of the other "informative" soap magazines at this time (like Daytimers or Daytime TV Stars) could sometimes be. 

 

Daily TV Serials, March 1974

"I see you! Oh Robin, I see you."

Sniff. :'(

You wanna talk about "smart tv"?  THAT was "smart tv".  It hurt like hell to see Robin Scorpio lose the young man who, to this day, I consider the actual love of her life.  Very timely, and very heartbreaking.

Exactly! That deserved all that champagne and caviar mess

It was emotional TV, but unfortunately all that misery in a short space of time helped lead to the Guza domination to come.

Guza's was just a different kind of misery...

I just remember watching thinking Stone was going to die and Robin was not going to be HIV+ because it was Robin and soaps just don't go there.  If you have ever know anyone that died from complications of AIDS, this was the single most realistic version I have ever seen.  And only a soap could do that, because we saw Stone each week getting weaker, having multiple illnesses, how the community reacted, and how his estranged family treated him.  It was a beautiful love story about several characters.

 

For all his faults later on, I will still take Guza's first six months and the first year he was there when he came back from Sunset Beach.

 

Martin E Brooks who played Dr Arthur Bradshaw has died aged 90.
