Christie should have been back on contract and stayed there years ago, but many of us have said that many times. -

I still struggle with this whole thing being in character for Lois, but Rena did an excellent job selling it to me. I wanted to mention I like Cody and Lulu together. Not as any endgame type of pairing, but JK and AH have more natural chemistry than Cody/Molly and it seems way less contrived. -
I couldn't resist. I had to look it up. VI would have been 26 in 1985, so she wasn't cradle robbing. Phew!Please register in order to view this content

I just don't understand the attitude of these EPs. You HAVE to know most of the young actors are going to take at least one hiatus from soaps to do other things. Most won't become big stars and will likely return to soaps. If they're popular, why would you cut them off like that to the detriment of your show? I wasn't fan of Mindy with Kurt, but again, if you build up a couple this much while taking away screen time from other, more popular characters, just to trash them within a few months, HOW is that good for your show in the long run? CRAZY. YES! Yes, again. Watching her introduction, it reminded me how much the character grated on me back then. It's not the actress' fault. She was fine on Texas. Just a poorly conceived character. !!!! Please tell me VI wasn't the same age as Lujack, LOL.

Oh gosh, yes, I remember seeing this one now and you're right, awful. Here is a great compilation of all the GL openings. Some versions of course had multiple iterations with different characters, so I still look outside this video to find more.Please register in order to view this content
Anyone able to tell me who the shirtless guy is at the 6:47 mark? He was in the '95 version for a good bit, but I could never figure out who he was. I thought maybe Carrol, but I didn't think he was a contract player or on that long. The 2002-2003 version with Joan Collins is pretty bad too. It looks cheap and the characters fly by way too quickly, especially when you've got 2-3 in each. 2003-2005 isn't bad. The 2005-2007 opening reminds me way too much of OLTL. -

Could be a false alarm. Or maybe a miscarriage at some point. -

I have a feeling Irna went on to haunt the Pollocks. [!@#$%^&*] hell. Barely in town and someone tries to rape her. Remember Goldie Hawn's friend in Foul Play who spent the entire movie convinced men were there to rape women? She must have been a GH viewer. This is also such a tortured way to write that this sicko tried to rape Terri. Thanks as always for these writeups. -
Thanks @Paul Raven There are aspects of Peggy's story I wish I could see, like her reaction to the verdict. There are also parts which feel convoluted. And it seems like Brock was almost paired with every woman on the canvas but Liz Foster and Vanessa Prentiss. Bill collapsing because Katherine selfishly smokes is a hilarious image. And this lady later became the town saint. No matter how many times I read about the Brad blindness story, something about it still seems gross to me.

Just echoing all the above comments but I was so moved by Jane Elliot's work in this episode and I'm very glad the show did not try to ignore Tracy in all of this or to make her look like a shrew or a joke. The writing helped, but Jane was key as she was so willing to play the material with the utmost vulnerability. Tracy spent so many years feeling unloved by her family, and often giving them reasons to justify their rejection, but the love she felt for them, and their legacy, is integral to the character now, integral to the whole family, and the show. She is the matriarch who never thought she'd be a matriarch, which is what adds so much poignancy. The loss of Monica hung over the scenes, even though Monica is still technically alive, somewhere in the mansion. Monica's children and grandchildren are still important to the show but Tracy's family has made up the multi-generational dynamics the Quartermaines need and lacked for such a long time. So much of the episode revolving around Quartermaines, not just the Tracy branch, but Michael too, tells you just how central they are to GH's strengths and have been for nearly 50 years. I appreciated Amanda Setton snapping out of some of her haze and giving a very forceful performance with Rena Sofer (and I could actually believe they were mother and daughter). I've had my criticisms of Lois and at times not been the fairest to Rena's work in the part, but I thought she was excellent here - what Lois did, the amount of times she played god with three innocents, was horrible, yet through Rena's very pure work, and some decent scriptwriting, I understood why she did what she did, and I felt sorry for her. It's not as good, please don't get me wrong, but the fallout of the story reminds me of why the Truth About Aaron plotline on ATWT was so powerful - there were no stunts, no psychos, just a lot of people who genuinely care about each other and that caring leads them to make very damaging decisions. That's what soaps should be about.
