Unfortunately "life" with Luke tends to mean unbearable hijinks. I think she's too similar to Maxie in the area of being a weird child-woman who seems to have been kept in an attic for a few years and suddenly unleashed onto society. If they get rid of Dante and dump Maxie out of the story then they might be able to work with her.

I just wish Shell Kepler were still alive. I would have enjoyed seeing her with this Lulu.

I liked her with Daniel Cosgrove, they were cute and sweet, but that was the last guy I thought she didn't seem like an awkward Saved by the Bell episode with.

It's not that Julie couldn't move her face, it's that she seemed to doggedly refuse to emote at all beyond 'gritty' sullenness, which is what Guza loved. I think that period where she was the Frons/Guza teen superstar, all things to all men with like three or four different guys vying for Lulu simultaneously, ruined her. She started out well and then after that, she became like a lot of talented young people who have come out of Guza's GH - they get a taste of the big time and stop giving a [!@#$%^&*] because they know they have security. Steve Burton was the same way.

I don't know if Dante and Lulu will work, but DZ deserves a partner with more life. And I think what works about the Spencer clan will work with Rylan far more than Berman, who I think reinforced only Geary's bleak take on the characters.

Her Lulu and Maxie together will be strange. But then I've been thinking for awhile that both Spinelli and Maxie need to take off. I love Kirsten Storms, she's a gem but I'm not sure what else there is to do right now.

JMB did become lazy and uninspired, as did everyone on GH.

I think she bounced back tho and was steller during the brief drinking storyline.

I will mostly miss her scenes with KS/Maxie. Those two actress - like Becky & Kemo - just played so, so well off eachother and made that dynamic work despite the writing.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
