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

[VirginiaHamilton]

More 1st '79 eppy questions:

1. Was Lesley happily married to Rick when Monica dropped that bomb or were they already separated at the time?

2. When Monica said that Rick could have the son that he's always wanted, was this an indication that Lesley couldn't have her own kids (hence the adoption of Laura) or that she simply couldn't 'succeed' in birthing a boy for him?

3. Was this before or after Alan threatened to drop a house on Rick & Monica?

[Mr. Vixen]

Lesley didnt adopt Laura, she is Laura's biological mom. Laura had been taken at birth and was raised on a compound with Amy. When Lesley found Laura, she took them both in.

This was before they both moved to Port Charles. Gail was Monica's foster mother when she was a little girl and a teen. I don't know which one of them showed up on the show first.

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm not sure why Ron hasn't undone that Luke & Holly bullshit by now...

Remind me again - was Bobbie's inability to have kids due to Brock or the hard life that she'd lived prior to arriving in PC?

[Mr. Vixen]

Before they were on canvas, Monica had been in love with Rick, believed he died, married Jeff, came to PC, discovered Rick was alive and was married to Lesley, and thus began the affair.

I think. I'm a little hazy about that era.

Brock. During one of her beatings, he threw her down the stairs and she was forced to have a hysterectomy.

I'm curious now:

1. Was the hatred for Susan universal amongst audiences?

2. Did TPTB see her a loathsome or valued character?

3. How long did she last on this show?

4. Was she in any non-Q related storylines or was screwing (literally and figuratively) with the Qs her sole purpose on the show?

[Mr. Vixen]

I'm not sure if it was universal. I just know that from what I've seen, I really dislike her. Always have. I assume others felt The same.

I think TPTB saw her as someone to cause conflict to characters we actually care about.

She was on 5 years (1978-1983)

She was involved a lot with the Q's but had some other stuff like with Scott and Heather.

5AM eppy:

1. Wait, a fitness class at a disco? Who came up with that idea?

2. How much publicity did GH bring to Richard Simmons/Richard Simmons bring to GH?

3. That's Jennifer? The Jennifer that I knew was played by Roseanne...

4. Did Amy have anything else to do other than get into everyone else's business? So far, that's all I've seen her do.

[Mr. Vixen]

Richard's career was helped quite a bit by GH. Not sure he did much for the show.

Jennifer was played by three different actresses, including Roseanne and the woman from All in the Family whose name escapes me.

Amy mostly gossiped but had some stories, like with the crew including Blackie.

[VirginiaHamilton]

@ she was a slut

I'm curious to know how Evilena's chemistry was with Nedley's father. Was he able to spar with her or did he always get left behind?

[AdelaideCate007]

I don't know about the other three, but I don't remember Amy ever doing anything but gossiping and being people's business lol.

[dragonflies]

Jennifer was played by Sally Struthers aka Gloria from All in the Family

[Mr. Vixen]

She had some stuff in the early 80's with Blackie and them but mostly just gossiping
