I remember watching back then and thinking they were totally going to make Gia and Sonny siblings and then they just dropped it. I guess it doesn't matter as Gia and Courtney haven't been factors on GH for years. Although MR's Gia is 10000000000 times more likeable than Courtney on her best day and a much better Nik love interest.

I have to say that the more I watch GH the bigger fan I become of Kelly Sullivan. Connie is way OTT, but I think Kelly is quite talented. It's too bad that Kate is such a bore and Connie is so ridiculous. If they can successfully integrate the two I think we could have a decent character on our hands. They're going to have to adjust her a bit because Kelly plays it a bit too trashy to be as elegant as Kate was under MW, but she also less like she has a stick up her ass.

Also, anybody up on the NLG vs. Jack Wagner stuff on Twitter?

Does anyone else think Bon Jovi looks like a less drunk Jack Wagner?

Finally caught up and, well...

  1. I'm glad you all warned me about that hen clucking at my AJ because I was prepared for her bullshit. It's too bad that my AJ is in the process of becoming a better person because I would totally give him a pass if he told her to sit down and shut the fvck up. This Ann-as-the-Nose-on-Plain's-Face heifer had some damn nerve getting up in my AJ's face about him being a terrible person, considering that her thirsty ass has been caping for Sonny for ages even though he hasn't given her the time of day since they conceived Krustina.
  2. I could get with AJ/Konnie being platonic friends who rag on folks IF Ron doesn't come up with the brilliant idea to make them a redux of Nash/Tessica/Antonio or a redux of AJ and the godawful Slagbeast. Perhaps it's because SK sparks with everyone he comes in contact with onscreen, but he's the first person that Konnie truly has chemistry with. It's been a while since we've had a male/female platonic relationship and if scenes like the one I saw are any indication - minus that ending of her kissing him to make Sonny jealous, I'd like to see that explored with my AJ/Konnie.
  3. Goddess Lucy continues to own my heart. Can't wait to see her interact with ME, KM, and JL over the next week or two.
  4. The less I say about the fuckery that was the Cole and Hope reveal (and Todd's jailhouse chant), the better. I do, however, demand that Ron give me more scenes of Todd/McBain sparring. Just like SK, RH gives all his screen partners life onscreen


IMO, shitty writing and poor characterization with a new character happened, though I can't imagine that being saddled with the roided goiter helped matters.



Oh, it pissed me off as well (being a fan of Zander's), but I don't think that she's any different than some of the pre-destined heroines of the 2000s that never were punished for their trifling deeds.

No not surprised which is why I said she needs to get off Twitter. She keeps making comments which one may see as inappropriate or offensive and she doesn't seem to have the filter to realize that before she posts. Her twitter account is going her mo favors

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
