+1.  Summer 2.0 is a ho horndog.  LOLL.  This reminds me a little of Guiding Light and when Vanessa and Dinah fought because Dinah threatened to take Matt from her...this was when Wendy Moniz was playing Dinah.  Clips still on Youtube and it was fabulous.

Totally. Summer is insufferable, but she got in some digs that landed. And GT showed that she doesn’t have to inhale the entire set to be effective. Too bad you have to sit through weeks of flat, boring scenes to get one good one. It’s not worth it.

 

I hate anything to do with Matt Reardon, but I did love Dinah and Vanessa going at it.

I was floored when Moniz left.  She really made Dinah into something and her charisma was off the charts.  

 

Hilary was on for 5 years and never had a family member introduced.  Arturo is on for 6 months, some of which were recurring, and already has a brother.

I'm happy about the brother because it's Jordi Vilasuso (SP?)....I always thought he was one of the hottest men GL ever had...and he's still got it.  I hadn't seen him in years so he looked familiar and I Googled and saw he's been on DAYS and I don't watch that and never knew.

    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.
