Soapnet's "50 years in 50 hours" GH marathon

[dragonflies]

FOTH opening

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Faces Of The Heart era episode. Wooo!

I loved the 90s.

Jason's hair looks really bad though.

Lucky and Sly...awww. Cousins. <3

[VirginiaHamilton]

Queen B & Jason Q....

It's been 20 years and I still find Karen to be as boring as hell....

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Crazy to think when this ep aired I was...2 months old. Damn.

I'm in love with the background music during the Luke/Laura scenes.

Jason looks ridic. LOL. Him & Brenda though

[VirginiaHamilton]

I see no reason why Sly couldn't have stuck around.

[dragonflies]

VM was AWFUL in these scenes, she couldn't act her way out of a paperbag lol. Burton wasn't much better either

[Vee]

He should have. He was on well into his teens in '96, with Lucky and Emily.

Years ago in college, around 2001 or 2002, I concocted an elaborate plot in which Sly would return and become a part of the fabric of the Spencer family again, only to be revealed as a mole for Helena Cassadine, embittered by the death of his father in lieu of Luke and a hard life since, having felt abandoned by his adoptive family. He would eventually waver and go back to the bosom of the family, having been manipulated by Helena. I still think that's a character they should never have discarded.

[dragonflies]

Thanks for making me feel old lol. I was 19 when this originally aired

[VirginiaHamilton]

I was in the 7th grade and an official* GH newbie...

*official, as in when I started watching on a regular basis

[VirginiaHamilton]

Robin, Mac, and Felicia!

Amazing how well both KW, JJY & KMc's looks have held up over the past 20 years.

[Vee]

I started watching GH full-time around the time Luke and Laura returned. The publicity was everywhere and I was fascinated. I was eleven or twelve.

[dragonflies]

I couldn't stand Cari Shaye's Karen. the best Karen was Jennifer Hammon on Port Charles

[VirginiaHamilton]

On another note, I'm not seeing how folks can see Mac & Felicia as 'snoozeworthy' at all. They have a sweet chemistry that made them light up the screen - a quality that is underrated in soaps today, IMO.

[Darn]

I've always loved Mac. He's the last good guy on soaps. I think he deserves a woman who appreciates him and that's not Felicia.

[Vee]

I think the Felicia of the last year has appreciated Mac. I pray Ron doesn't undo that for his nostalgia trip, but I'm not holding my breath.

Mac and Felicia were snoozeworthy in later years, but not in the mid-'90s. And even so, Mac never deserved what Felicia did to him or what he got from Guza.

I'd forgotten Thom Racina wrote these classic '81 episodes.
