I remembering crying when they killed off Alan Q because I knew TPTB were systematically killing off classic GH.  I don't think they wanted any reminders of GH's great past because their version of GH (Sonny, Carly & Jason) could never compare to GH's great history. For me, symbolically, killing off Alan Q, was killing GH.  It's never been the same since.

Confirmed!

 Daytime TV, March 1972 has an article about the wedding of Lucille March to Al Weeks.  Accompanying the article is the infamous 1971 cast portrait with Joan Blackman in it.  The caption all but confirms what character Miss Blackman portrayed in 1971.

Alan, Georgie and Emily were all shock-value plot-driven deaths that never should have happened. I'm less upset over Emily because I was tired of her and Natalia Livingston's quivering but Alan and Georgie should still be alive.

 

AJ's was a mistake as well, all of the times, especially under Ron's pen. Although at least that had SOME follow through, with Michael accepting his spot in the Q's and hating Sonny, but the stans cried and we all know what happened there

Here is an early TV appearance by Brooke Bundy on Ozzie and Harriet in 1963. She plays a girl that Rick is dating and spills a malt and slams the car door on her dress. Rick sings The Very Thought Of You at the end. At this time Rick had just married his real life Kris (the sister of actor Mark Harmon and Kelly Harmon the Tic Tac girl). Kris would make her debut on O&H shortly after this episode. She was pregnant with Tracy who was born October 63. Since ABC had a morals claus in the Nelson family contracts. The Nelsons placed a full term and healthy baby Tracy in a incubator and claimed she was premature so public wouldn't count back to the wedding. Years later Tracy battled lymphoma in the 80's. I wonder if the incubator incident may have contributed since the early ones were notorious for causing all kinds of health problems.

"Co-Starring" John Beradino?

 

To me, no matter what young whippersnappers TPTB have ever brought in and showcased, our beloved Steve Hardy was always the REAL star of the show!

 

Younger viewers who have only endured the show during the Maurice Bernard, Michael Easton, and Steve Burton years don't know what they missed!

Stalwarts like Beradino, Emily McLaughlin, and Rachel Ames ruled!

Yes, even when the show gave them nothing but crumbs, the vets always rose to the occasion and made the most of it. That business with Ryan targeting Audrey really WAS must-see TV!

 

Who are the beloved matriarchs and patriarchs, the tentpole characters, of today? Sonny and Carly?!? Pffft!

      Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
