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

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
