I'm not going to put a link in here but I just wanted to mention, as someone did in the December thread, that some good picture and sound quality episodes from late 1979 are being uploaded. There's a link in the videobash thread. It's great stuff, Tracy and the Quartermaines seeing her conniving husband Mitch (perpetually stoned looking Chris Pennock) ascend to the DA's office, lots of disco (and the disco actually seems fairly believable by soap standards), Laura's rape aftermath (it's disgusting to see the cover up already underway but has some wonderful acting from Genie Francis), the days before Roy DiLucca's death, and so much more. There's a lot of Bobbie too.

The highlight for me was the Quartermaines being interviewed on election night, with the Webbers and friends watching on TV, squawking about Tracy's hairdo.

So why does ABC air a repeat of GH on Christmas Eve, no episode Christmas Day, a repeat on New Year's Eve and No episode on New Year's day? Especially when the other soaps are airing new episodes. It just seems stupid. They did the same thing with OLTL and AMC too. Why air repeats when you could show a new episode and maybe pick up some new viewers? Maybe you could gain back some long lost viewers who grew tired of the show and just happen to turn it to GH on the day they are off and decide they like the show again and want to start watching/DVR'ing it again. It dosen't make sense that every holiday it's a repeat.

I've been pondering the idea of Jason returning and I have decided that the only way I want him back on the show is if he has NOTHING to do with the mob. Give him some story with Sam and Daniel and of course A.J. but if they bring him back PLEASE don't make him a mobster again. Let him get out of the mob life and maybe try to get into ELQ or take over or something. I am just so sick of the mob. Even Sonny has little to do with the mob anymore and I have actually started liking Sonny again.

Doolfan,

WHAT MOB!

We continue to hear about Sonny as this dangerous mob boss, but I don't find that to be true. Here is what we know: Johnny took his mentally ill woman to bed and came to Sonny and took responsiblity. Johnny then marries the same mentally ill woman, and NOTHING? Does Sonny know he's broke? Sonny is no longer a reputed mob boss that needs to be brought down. The only good thing about the mob now is that Shawn gets a lot of scenes wearing wife beaters. Kawny has been wearing Sonny's nuts as earrings for a minute now.

FRon need to cut it out with that crap because nothing onscreen says Sonny is a mob boss to be feared. It might just be time for Sonny to be written out. I don't want him to go, but other than "mobster", what is there to him? Skate? GMAFB!

Yeah the mob has been severely downplayed. It's not a major presence on this show and barely there. Jason's story prior to his death wasnt about the mob. Jason at ELQ? Nah can't see that at all and frankly don't want to. He's too stupid for that

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By j swift · Posted

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.

      I just saw this. Thanks for sharing. The classic Y&R thread may enjoy your posts. It was in very poor taste for Andy Cohen to blindside MTS with that type of question, but I'm not surprised as he's an awful person.

      The way Kat was acting today, it only enhances Silk Press Sheila's stalking accusations.   She certainly takes after her Aunt Dani. It took about 70 episodes, but the show seems to have finally understood that Ashley/Derek have to interact with the rest of the canvas in order to get viewers to care about them... or at least understand what their purpose for being on the show. Leslie vs Kat is a wonderful pairing.... and Leslie/Tomas was comically.   Dani's delusion that she's still Bill's wife.... no comment. I really hope that Eva doesn't turn out to be Nicole's child.. because I find the fall out from the anniversary party to be pretty good and there's more possibilities having Eva not being Nicole's child then being her child..imho.
