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

[~bl~]

Selective memory is completely another story. That said I think most people who've watched any soap opera long enough have blocks of time they have pushed to the side.

Doug Sheehan was astonishingly hot.

They offered MB the role of Damian Smith?

My mind is blown because I can't imagine him putting the moves on Bobbie or scheming with Lucy or Katherine at all.

[MissLlanviewPA]

+1.

One of the coolest little girls in television history!

(Sorry, I'll keep my Punky standom limited to that thread...)

[VirginiaHamilton]

My thoughts exactly. Furthermore, I'm trying to imagine how a Damian Smith-centric Mob Hospital would've looked like...

[Vee]

IIRC a lot of big soap stars were up for Damian.

I'm glad that Leigh McCloskey was the one to play Damian. He was such a good guy on Dallas, it was great to see him make a complete 180 when he was Damian.

[VirginiaHamilton]

Look at Luke being a deadbeat dad...

[John]

Hated Guza for that Deadbeat Dad Crap but Geary Liked it too. SMH

[~bl~]

For me it wasn't a 180 for Leigh McCloskey as he was a bad guy on Santa Barbara, granted that was on against GH in many parts of the country.

I wish they'd invited Gail and Lee back for the anniversary. Maybe they did. I don't know if either actor is still alive. They were such a strong, comforting presence in the '70s and '80s shows - as well as some other material pre-Monty I've seen with Gail, Lee, Patsy Rahn's Monica and the Webbers - and were a key part of the elder fabric of the show along with Steve and Audrey. I remember them well from PC, but I'd like to see them for the 50th.

I remember Damian and the catacombs, but I know Leigh McCloskey best from his "star turn" in Dario Argento's Inferno.

[MissLlanviewPA]

+1. It would be a shame not to see them again.

I knew about the Damien/MB thing for a while. It blew my mind when I first read it.
