Count me in as a fan of Chris/Julie too (and the Chris/Eve friendship). And I loved early Eve. Not the heroine they turned her into. Gag. Early PC really wasn't all that bad. I've always thought they could have just added some of them to GH in 1997 instead of creating Port Charles. There really wasn't a need for PC, IMO, even though I did like a lot of it thinking back on the show. Not the greatest soap but hardly the worst, especially the first few years. They tried.

GH had gotten so far removed from the hospital by this point that I thought PC made sense. It was kind of ironic though that the show called Port Charles focused on General Hospital, whereas General Hospital focused on the citizens of Port Charles

Yeah that's true, at the time Port Charles focusing on the hospital made sense. It definitely was ironic that GH focused on the town while PC focused on the hospital. LOL. That's why I think they could have somewhat 'rebooted' GH with an infusion of new blood [the standouts from PC] and re-focused on the hospital. Oh well.

    • Another time when some fans have an idea that the show is very unlikely to share. LOL! Exception for last year when they *almost* did off Ava. But, then, does almost count? This version of Love2Hate Drew is not going anywhere. Since Frank is not going to authorize a murder or killing there can't be a mystery whodunnit because it's not getting dun. 
    • Yeah but what will happen to Gilberta
    • No one asked for this, just like no one asked for the Little House reboot.
    •   you made me laugh.  They haven't found a network for this potential reboot but yeah. GreatAmericanFamily/Pureflix is where producers go who feel that Hallmark is too diverse.
    • Oh? Novels you say? Intriguing. Some would say the header might have been a sign it could be a bad episode.     I don't think I was as bored as everyone else with this episode, but I'll see how I feel after a rewatch.   Heck, the actor playing Tomas even showed up and seem more comfortable. Actually so did the actor playing Derek.
    • High praise.   At last...?   *cough*CVE*cough*
    • I had to stop watching early last week because I could not tolerate another interminable scene of Genie Francis valiantly attempting to keep pace opposite a disillusioned and confused Maurice Benard. Nevermind that the scenes largely consisted of Laura kissing the ring for some godforsaken reason, how is his performance acceptable? He’s painful to watch.
    • Apparently Jake Tapper was supposed to be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to pimp his book of lies. That appearance was canceled. https://latenighter.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-live-cancels-monday-night-taping/
    • I was obsessed with the original Party of Five, it used to be one of my  favorite primetime soaps.  In my mind, Neve Campbell is "the star of Party of Five" - I've never seen the Scream movies. So I watched the reboot with great attention. I kept comparing and contrasting each reboot sibling with the original.  Lacey Chabert's character in the original was a precocious child who played the violin.  Her counterpart in the reboot was also smart but she danced. Not quite the same.  Neve Campbell's teen character in the original was a moody student, and her teen counterpart in the reboot became politically active and tried to help other teens that had immigration issues.  Etc.   I knew all the secondary characters in the original, and kept waiting to see if they'd have counterparts in the reboot. Some of that compare/contrast stuff was distracting to me at first, but ... eventually I realized that the reboot was a completely different show, and I came to embrace it for what it was, and let go of my comparisons.  I felt that the reboot existed as its own separate identity, and there was no need to be familiar with the original at all.  Other than the ages of the five siblings and the restaurant, the reboot had very little in common with the original. The reboot was a good show by itself and I liked it, and was disappointed that it was cancelled.
    • When he returned  to DAYS in 1991 it was at the behest of Deidre Hall wanting the two of them to make the DAYS scene together again & they both got preferential billing, too, in the closing credits. They did the Mexican story first with Bo & Carly and with John & Isabella & also Lawrence & the actress who would much later play Gladys on GH.  After that they did this amazing story Marlena loved 2 men but society would not allow it. I have always felt that Deidre deserved an Emmy for that particular story.
