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

  • Members

Here's the first promo for it. And, it's a 50 anniversary promo too. Not sure if I should have put this here or Spoiler Island. But, there's not really many spoilers in the promo. But, move if so.

I'm sorry, but those Luke & Laura wedding episodes did nothing for me. A lot of poor writing and acting going on there. It really shows that sometimes things get bigger and popular based on pure luck and being in the right place at the right time, IMO.

I'm actually most captivated by the 90's episodes we've seen so far. Maybe it's because that's when I started watching.

Couldnt agree more.

I do love the 60s episodes though.

Damn this 60's episode is so gripping to me. The dynamic between Jessie, Phill and Cynthia Allison is so fascinating. I've always wanted to see it and now I wish I could see more. I miss Jessie.

I just don't think 80's GH is for me. The show was clearly of its time during that era, and feels very cheesy and dated upon retrospective viewing. I can see how it would be the pinnacle for some for nostalgia purposes, but I just don't think it's that entertaining or has much universal resonance anymore.

It actually makes me respect Wendy Riche even more and the transformation she carried out in the 90's. She might have only really gotten 4 really good years at best overall, IMO, out of her tenure, but her era has a certain soul that's severely lacking from the 80's output I've seen. GH may not have been the "hip" soap in the 90's that it was in the early to mid 80's, but it had a certain authenticity that's mostly pretty timeless, IMO.

Yes! I totally agree, and feel the same about 80's Days.

The supercouple, action adventure era is just not for me. I find it very cheesy and lacking any real depth or character. I just dont like it, on any soap ive seen it on. The 90's were much better for both Days and GH, i feel.

I agree about WRs GH too, the authenticity and timeless feel. I think a lot of her stuff could go up next to classic 60's and 70s soaps and fit right in.

Wait, are they not going to show Tracy withholding Edwards medication? That's one of GH's most iconic moments. I hope they show it.

Was that before Luke and Laura's wedding? Cause if so, they're not :( They're skipping about 18 years from the first episode to that wedding

It's from 1979, the same as the one that's ok now..When did Luke and Laura air? I DVR'd it even though I have it on VHS.

  • Members

Rewatching some of the stuff with Karen, Jason, Brenda and the Rhonda/Ray molestation story reminds me of why I'm really not pressed about the youth stories on the new AMC and OLTL. As long as they're good and told well with decent young actors, they work. That's a rule of soaps that's as old as the hills.

BOBBIE!!! She looks fantastic. I always loved that 70's hair of hers. And I loved that nurses uniform. Jackie and Tony have always had such an amazing sibling chemistry

Their wedding was 1981. As far as I know, they aired the first episode from 1963 and then jumped to the wedding for the second episode but I haven't been watching so maybe the plans/order changed from the original list I read.

  • Members

I knew the wedding was 1981(come on Brett, who didn't know that? LOL!). I meant when did SOAPnet show it. But I checked and they showed it right after episode 1. They aren't going in order because since then they've shown 2 1993 episodes, a 2006 episode, a 60s episode, and now 1979 episode. They're jumping all over the place.
