Watching the SN marathon still, I will admit I have come to a grudging semi-appreciation for the Jimmy Lee character - he's a cornpone and kind of dim and thick, but Steve Bond is incredibly hot, and the concept, at least, is good, of a bastard hick son in the Quartermaines' nest. As many here know I still wouldn't advocate bringing Jimmy Lee or Celia back full-time, but I do think he could appear for a short time as part of a story, in order to bring on some grown children of his.

I believe Tracy just informed us last year that Jimmy Lee had no children and Edward disinherited him - something that I got the sense Jimmy Lee would have insisted on, not Edward himself - but if Jimmy Lee is still shunning the Quartermaines then you could easily say that he hid the existence of more heirs from them to raise them away from the Qs. So I think that would be interesting, juxtaposing characters like Dillon or Brook Lynn or the elder Qs with wilder ones like Jimmy Lee's hicks, a la the Frames on Another World.

Yep! Can't wait for all of those.

Also, Good Morning America is supposed to be doing something all week (according to promos airing during my local news), likely interviews with the cast. Promo mentioned "Luke" "Laura" and Rick (i.e. Rick Springfield). Probably a brief interview segment all week with a member(s) of the cast. I'm sure Kelly Monaco will be on. She was just on two weeks ago or so to discuss the current Dancing with the Stars. She quickly pushed to promote GH's anniversary before they were rushed and cut off.

Amazing banners SoapBoy!! I really like the second one.

Alexandria... :wub: so much love for her. I can't believe she only lasted less than a year! I want to see her make a return as the lost Quartermaine heir. Screw Franco's spawn

Did she ever interact with Tracy? I'm guessing she came on after JE left as she kinda seems like a Tracy replacement in terms of her relationships with Alan, Monica and Edward. Ed seemed more friendly with her though and I could see Tracy being insanely jealous of her

Serial Drama's newest column is good, I love what they said about Liz

ELIZABETH WEBBER: Remember when Elizabeth came to Port Charles and was the bad girl? All attitude and plots to humiliate her sister with planted condoms? Adorable!

In the years since, Elizabeth has turned into a wonderful daytime heroine and someone who could have been--and should have been--the show's leading lady during the dark, dark days that someone had the misguided notion to make Courtney into a thing. Courtney! Liz has been a part of some truly iconic daytime stories and has been half of some insanely popular romances: people are still debating whether she's meant to be with Lucky or Jason and there is still a vocal chorus reminiscing fondly about her relationship with Ric, too. Pretty impressive for someone who has spent an unfortunate amount of time on the backburner reacting to other people's goings on with some fantastic facial expressions (her bitchy faces alone earned her this spot on this list, really. It's just gravy that she's also awesome).

They're spot-on about that. I'll never understand why they never elevated her to full-on heroine status of the show after Brenda "died" and Robin left because she had everything going for her (the fans, the charisma, the backstory, the legacy connections, the pairings) to succeed those two. I'd thought it then and yesterday's late 90s portion of the marathon reminded me (all the more reason why I hate showkiller Guza for demolishing that character - especially to prop sorry-ass characters like Kung-Fu Skipper).

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
