GH: SOAPnet Quartermaine Thanksgiving Marathon

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I'm still surprised Keesha lasted her boring and irrelevant ass until 1998, I can't remember her doing anything from 1996-1998.

He looked best on B&B, IMO, especially during his first stint. After that? Not so much.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

What a terrible haircut on Robin during Jason's flashback!

[VirginiaHamilton]

There's a reason why SK's AJ is thought of a lot more fondly than BW's AJ and the 1995 vs. 1997 Thanksgiving episodes illustrate that perfectly. No disrespect to BW (who I feel sorry for having to act out showkiller Guza's shitty material while being treated shoddily by bootleg Janet Wood and Frons), but he was a prime example of how a miscast can ruin the dynamic of a character - a character that I am thrilled to see (seemingly) get his footing back under the current regime.

(From what I hear, Y&R treated SK shoddily as well.)

[VirginiaHamilton]

Funny how Keesha is considered "boring" - much like her cousin Maya, along with Lainey, before her were considered "boring".

I guess that's why they were written off/disappeared while Mammy Epiphany remains, huh...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I liked Maya and Lainey, when they bothered to write for them at least.

[Chris B]

Maya sucked, but Lainey was a goddess. I wish Lainey and Kelly got the airtime that these new doctors and nurses are getting.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Scott Baldwin! YAY!

I loved him.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Ah, that 1997 episode was by Icabuzio and Whitesell. Guza showed up a week or two after that though, I believe.

Marissa Ramirez as Gia.

Coltin Scott was also the better Nikolas...

[VirginiaHamilton]

Gia (a.k.a.: the only time that I found Nik tolerable)!

Sucks that she was thrown under the bus for bootleg Emily in the same way that it sucks that Maya was thrown under the bus for the non-factor that was Ethina and that Keesha was thrown under the bus for the Slagbeast.

Then again, this is par for the course for GH, who would soon as cancel itself than have a non-stereotypical Black female character thrive on the frontburner.

[allmc2008]

I am watching the 1997 episode. I think Sarah Brown looks like Jacki Zeman.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I know Marissa is Hispanic in real life, but her Gia was the best and most successful attempt GH made at a main black female character. They never tried after she left.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

YUCK, Tamara Braun during her sh!tty and inexperined early days on the show. God, she was terrible around this time.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I assume this was around the time Carol Scott told Genie Francis she had to lose weight...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Eww, Roy and Melissa, and Jensen Buchanan's terrible ass.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Roy! I was trying to remember his name. Hated him so much I blocked his name out.

And....Ew it's Melissa. My stepdad just said he thought she was hot.

I'm not much for this episode. Too much Carly/Sonny/Jax and too little of the Q's.
