Members Bright Eyes Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 It was until the reveal. The aftermath ruined so many characters that still haven't recovered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 UK soap promos have had excellent promos but many times the stories are nowhere near as good. Here are the two strongest examples of good promo [!@#$%^&*] story. Please register in order to view this content There's also this promo, which is just...hilarious, and completely out of proportion with anything that actually happened onscreen, but Julie Goodyear sells it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 This is...ridiculous. No way did whatever they did live up to the dramatics of this promo, it just couldn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can you imagine the disappointment of people tuning in only to find a bunch of people running around a farm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hahaha, watching that promo prompted me to look up the show and her return and wow they really sold a bill of goods there. Also she was only back for a WEEK apparently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 She's coming back for a regular stint in a few months, this was just a return until she went into panto, but the week was not up to much, to put it kindly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have to hand it to the UK and elsewhere, though. At least they put some effort (and money) into their promos, which is more than I could say for the U.S. soaps of today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 A teenager coming on to the psycho more than twice her age who had her cloned from the DNA of his dead wife. Very sexy, CBS. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 That's quite an understatement. It was, quite frankly, horrible in every aspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 The cheesy 80s were the best!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted February 21, 2019 Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) That was cheesy for the 80s..it was even worse when Conboy brought that back for a Fashion in what 2002? Oh, old queens who don't move with the times. That promo for the clone reminded me of why I hated it so much, not so much the sci-fi but I could never stand Josh after that and I don't think Reva would have ever forgiven him...he came off like a lecherous psycho. It also shows how JL was wasted as both teen clone and Michele, she would have been great as a tough as nails Stacy Chamberlin or some other bad girl. On the GL Facebook page Jill Hurst sometimes post and she brought up the "great work that Robert and Kim did" when everyone was dissing the storyline...to her credit she did say she didn't like sc--fi stuff and engaged with class. Its just interesting to see what bts people think of the stuff that goes on the air compared to the viewers. Sometimes they are too close to the cast etc...(as in, who cares what kind of work they did, the storyline sucked...)

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2019 Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 Seeing Michael Zaslow still makes my eyes well up 20 years later Please register in order to view this content I remember the time this happened - it was around when I first started reading soap magazines. It was seen as something of a death knell for GL. If the show hadn't gotten a brief boost in late 95/early 96 I don't know if it would have survived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
