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

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
    • Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
