GL/P&G also hid from going in that direction with David and Bridget during that time, which made Patrick Mulcahey quit.

Though, I don't know how I would've felt if they went there, as I adored those characters as BFF's.

I loved Gilly and Alan Michael, too. They were just one of many missed opportunities from JFP, whom I personally loathed at GL, but I will not go there as she has so many admirers. I recall that at the very end of Gilly and A-M's attraction, Amelia Marshall ad-libbed a line to the effect of "you haven't got the guts to go after something that scares you". She was basically telling off the producers, sponsors, and network. I loved it.

I enjoyed Eve initially. She was an intriguing character when she was in the nunnery and only shown in extreme close-up of her eyes. I have some of those on tape and should put them up if the people at the GL youtube channel have not. At any rate, JFP and the writers ruined Eve by turning her into a psycho in order to continually prop up Mindy and Nick...another of JFP's usual problems. Hilary Edson did not play that well, and later placing her in a romance with Ed (when they should have reignited the Ed/Holly/Roger triangle) simply made things worse. I do not blame Edson. It was consistent mismanagement by Phelps and P&G.

The GL character I always defended was Sonni. Yes, she dominated the storyline for a year and was not a vet, but Michelle Forbes played the hell out of that role. She was one of the few women who could go toe to toe with Kim Zimmer and not get devoured. And, despite the fact that the plot was somewhat hoary and had already been done to death, Forbes managed to fascinate with unexpected takes on the scripts.

I never knew that they actually edited out scenes of Alan-Michael and Gilly. That really upsets me. I didn't know they'd gone that far. I wonder if it was P&G or Phelps. I know she seemed desperate to make Lucy popular, which never really happened.

Oh Sonni. She was definitely one of my characters. I loved her and you're right, Forbes acted the hell out of character that was supposed to be nothing but a speedbump for Josh/Reva.

I don't think I've seen her name here, so it's only right that I bring her up first:

OLTL: Gabrielle Medina Holden Holden Buchanan

There are others, but she's my number one. Wanna fight me? Go ahead and try.

you say deuces to one of them. That's how it was for me when they had Liz and Sam on GH feud as well as Kendall and Greenlee on AMC. I stuck with Sam and Kendall

Does one have to take sides? Why not just watch the show and possibly enjoy both perspectives and the drama caused by them, instead of rooting for one?

Back in the day (LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago) nobody could say a word about this woman resume_5339_00.jpg, without me interfering. From 1992-3 to maybe 2001-2 I would fight for her to death. But then they thrashed her over and over and over and over and she became a parody. I love her still, because she is hilarious.

I just enjoy that on a case by case basis. Look at the fighting between Jesse and David on AMC. I love both of them. Sometimes I agree with David, sometimes I agree with Jesse. I just watch that [!@#$%^&*] like a tennis game and enjoy the back and forth.

    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
