They rewrote that to say it didn't happen. It was such a bad story I don't remember the details though.

I remember something about Franco's big reveal on the Haunted Star and some videotaped footage of Franco asking Carter to do something to Michael, not necessarily raping him. And Carter kind took that idea and attacked Michael on his own, or something like that.

Even the news coverage of DT's first week in office isn't as depressing as this soap! (Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little!)

Ponds u need a reality check. Oh GH is the same thing as deporting illegials or losing obamacare. U really shouldnt watch GH anymore leave the Gutsy Tv for people that love it. Maybe go watch Ashley Judd embarassing rap video.

The decimation of America by the orange one. The decimation of GH by Jelly, Frank & Nathan. These's 2 random things do share a commonality

Yep ratings are up in demos, GH won all raves for 2016, most improved soap and Jean/Shelly got soapmakers of the year. GH has been nothing short of a cindarella story.

Did anyone else notice that the set for Seth Baker's place and Luke and Bobbie's childhood home are one and the same?

Did they change the set around at least? or does it look exactly the same?

They brought in Michael Rodrick (whose Seth I could see as an actual co-star for Herbst, if written well) to sacrifice him at the altar of Frankles...Yep compelling storytelling, Pissmelly. Already solved this when it started. I suppose we were all supposed to believe Alexis did it? We all know Droolian wouldn't be the one to kidnap Frankles because he can do no wrong. @Nothin'ButAttitude they need to hire you to fix this crap!---and yes, I know you would run sprints away if it were offered.

No one wants to see annoying Amy (Jr.) become friends with ~~Greenlee~~ Hayden or anyone else. This Amy isn't tied to a family like Amy Vining, and is written so badly, I was hoping Paul would have iced her, too.

Now that Bobbie is back to work, can we see her at the hospital?

They took Brad out of the mothballs, but we all know he'll be back in his closet with Lucas in no time. They must be off binging KL or Dynasty....

Way to use Tracy for the whole four minutes she got the other day.....

When they convinced Lynn Herring to come back, didn't they promise her something to do?

@slick jones, fix what? GH? I'm on the fence. Part of me would want to take on the task, but the other half would say run for the hills. But if I did agree to it, I'd kill or write off most of the cast day one.

That's my thing. I think most of the cast needs to go and never come back

The only characters worth saving are: Monica, Bobbie, Scott, Kevin, Lucy, Mac, Felicia, Lucas, Liz, Jordan, Anna, Tracy, Laura, Sam, Lulu, Dante, Maxie, Dillon, Michael, Carly, and possibly Sonny & Ava (b/c I love Maura West).

The rest can die.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

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

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
