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

[VirginiaHamilton]

Well, that's unfortunate. I'd have liked to have met Phil after they developed him. I see inklings of this in the '63 episodes, but something tells me that they barely scratched the surface on who he was.

Thank you Carl, but I'll look it up after I've finished watching this marathon.

I have like two episodes from the end of his run in the mid 70s from when the episodes aired here in the early 80s, but it's a master tape from the telly station my aunt worked at and the quality is just awful. You can barely tell who they are or what they're saying. I'm working on getting those tapes all cleaned up as best I can and then I'll post them all on YouTube. It's really interesting to see GH before the Quartermaines, the WSB crew, and Luke & Laura.

Maynard was Diana's maiden name.

When they turned Phil into a bad guy, did they do it in a way that threw him under the bus or was it a natural progression? How did he die, anyway?

Hilary Edson played Tania. She was later Eve on Guiding Light.

Tania was killed in a car accident while she was out shopping for Tony's birthday. On St. Patrick's Day, no less. I think BJ was only a year old .

I love these end credits so much. That music is beautiful. These are the credits I grew up with on GH lol

[VirginiaHamilton]

*sigh* @ this show not caring enough to tie this simple loose end....

Kristina (Felicia) had gorgeous hair back then.

[AdelaideCate007]

I don't even think she was a year old. She was more like 6 months.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I wonder how Tania would've fared on this show if they hadn't decided to kill her off.

[DRW50]

I can't wait. I've always wanted to see more of this era. Please tell me it has that Judith McConnell character (I can't remember her name on GH - she killed Phil).

Hilary Edson wanted to leave, I think, so they would have had to recast.

I always forgot Frisco's name was Andrew lol

[cassadine1991]

you mean Autumn Breeze???

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Me too!

The Jones Bros. Anthony and Andrew. Should be easy enough to remember. But, it's not.

[dragonflies]

Is that the name, it's the end credits for the mid 80's
