GH: Discussion for the Month of January

That's a good way of thinking about it. I just didn't see the need to explain a cut 5 second scene that is not important to anything going on with the show and then to get pissy when he doesn't like the response?

I appreciate it as well. I really like what I have been witnessing with Todd. I used to be totally against him on this show, and now I hope he stays.

I appreciated RC's tweet about Mac/Robert and the phone call with Holly. I saw the info about the tweet earlier in the day; when I got home to watch the show, it made more sense that the show opened with a visibly shaken Mac holding his cell phone, before he righted himself to greet Lucy. Although, yeah, I probably wouldn't have noticed at all if I didn't read about the tweet. It was a nice tidbit to have; it would've been better to keep that and cut 15 seconds of awful Kristina or sad Sabrina or crazy Connie.

(Although, I actually thought Connie/Kelly Sullivan was pretty good yesterday, even though I mostly hate the character.)

Wouldn't have been when he sold Jake's to Luke and Luke renamed it? So, a year ago March?

His significance was first, running the strip club DockHo got her start in, and then just running Jake's and learing at the ladies and just being "friendly comic-relief bartender guy" every now and again . . .and then a brief, ill-advised relationship with Kate when they, I guess, needed to run-out Megan Ward's contract with some appearances or something. It was bizarre, but I wasn't really watching anymore by then.

Didn't I hear the actor was appearing somewhere else now? Maybe Y&R?

I appreciated the tweet as well. I saw on another board today someone asking how come Mac doesn't know about Robert yet. Honestly, they should have edited out SOME of Connie's airtime and put this little scene in. Connie eats up enough already and this little tidbit would have made a lot of Scorpio/long-time fans happy.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
