Oh I don't

Good deal.

Guza sucked. Badly.

I wish the Guza years could be wiped out completely

This GH Valentine's Day marathon is a real disappointment. This show has 50 years of great super couples. But what do we get? Two episodes featuring Sonny and Brenda. Two episodes featuring Sam and Jason. Where is the sense of history? Sure, we got glimpses of late-stage Luke and Laura, with cameos from Mac and Felicia, Sean and Tiffany, Ned and Lois, Robin and Patrick. But, my goodness, where were Robert and Holly, or Robert and Anna, or Anna and Duke, or Frisco and Felicia, Alan and Monica, or Luke and Laura in their heydey? Good grief, most of the episodes are from late-stage dreary GH, when the rankings were tanking. This was NO LEGITIMATE celebration of GH's BEST supercouples, at all. Clearly the fans who voted are late-comers to GH with no sense of or interest in the historic supercouples that actually made this show a legend. No more letting the fans vote!!!

Given my disappointment with the Valentine's Day marathon -- poor choice of episodes mostly from the dreary Guza era -- I have EXTREMELY LOW expectations for the upcoming 50th anniversary's 50 hour marathon on SoapNet. Ideally there would be one killer episode from each one of the fifty years of the show's history. If not that, than at least five or six from each decade. It will be a real crime if the early years of Steve, Audrey, Jessie and Phil, not to mention head nurse Lucille (Audrey's much older sister) are completely ignored. They were the foundation of the show. I also remember other characters that are now forgotten, like Howie and Jane, Sharon and Henry Pinkham... Given the fifty year history, you shouldn't lop off the beginnings, just because younger viewers might be turned off by black and white and by lead characters that were older. But I do expect that will be the plan, to ignore the complete history on this historic occasion.

Being that I was thrilled with yesterday's 2-hour marathon, I couldn't agree with you more. As much as I do enjoy L&L, I'm starting to get a bit sick of them being the only representative of the 80s supercouple era - especially since there are many others that I'd like to see in their element.

The 50 hour marathon will not be voted by fans, therefore it should be better. I'd love an episode from each year.

Forgive me, but I thought the episodes prior to 1976 were destroyed, which is why the earliest that I've ever seen online have been from 1977 or so. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though, because I'd love to be so that I can see how GH was before the Luke & Laura years.

It's cause the GH FB page is full of younguns who only know the Guza years, that's who voted

You said it.

I wish the Guza years could be wiped out completely

Same here...

I didn't watch the marathon (A quick trip to LoriJo's YouTube channel will fix that!), but do I ever wish R&A's Valentine's Day massacre had been shown, if only to see Tristan Rogers, shirtless, in black pants,looking like a Chippendale's dancer (which usually I'm not into, but for him I'll make an exception), tied up to a pillar .

Wha? I need to see that!

Under Riche he wasn't bad. But, under JFP. SUCKED!!!

Have these GH marathons on SOAPnet ever included Robert / Holly, Anna / Duke, or Robert / Anna - and no, I don't count them playing second fiddle to another couple?

not that I can remember. alot of these are very old school alot of newer viewers have probably never heard of them

Wha? I need to see that!

These are the pillar scenes, parts 4 and 5. You can start from the beginning, though.

Now, that's just dreadful.

Nope. Never.

Now, that's just dreadful.

I know a few years ago ABC was showing vintage eppy's on holidays and there was major complaints about it from the supposed fans on FB and they stopped that really quick, man I was so pissed about that

I want to marry this post. I knew the couples that would be featured would be L&L and S&B (while legitmate supercouples, I've seen just about every episode with them now) and recent couples Lante, Scrubs and Jasam. What's the point? We've seen all of these recently. Zzz.

Yea, I'm not getting my hopes up with SoapNet's 50 hour marathon. It will be L&L, S&B and everything recent. Zzz. SoapNet doesn't even think Robert & Holly or even Robert & Anna were even worthy enough to be VOTED for on the supercouple poll. I highly doubt they'll get any airtime from SoapNet. Seriously, what is it going to take to get the 3rd most popular character in GH history (Robert Scorpio) some airtime? It boggles my mind.
