Members titan1978 Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 I grew to just adore Gillian on AMC. I was so upset when they killed her. The only time I liked Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 LOL... what? Didn't she hack Salem University's computers in the summer of '97 to switch the blood results to show Austin, not Lucas, as the father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 PC in general was a waste of network airtime . I know it has its fans, but I never thought it was anything good both pre and post the supernatural telenovella-style arcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 Was that the year PC was nominated as Best Show at the Emmy’s? I thought it odd that was the only ABC soap nominated that year. I wanted B&B to win but ATWT won for the spa material LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 2003, and many had pegged it as the favourite too. LOL! Not long after, it was cancelled/put out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 LOL I didn’t watch any ABC soaps but I definitely recall it was getting hyped up as a late night soap since so many ABC stations aired late night and even airing special one hour episodes, with Michael Logan at TV Guide even saying something along the lines how refreshing PC’s supernatural storylines were so much better than Passions.

Members Darn Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 They were better than Passions (but so are most things) however they weren't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 They complained that Sami had so pulled off seamlessly at age 16 that this time around it was too obvious and pointless to redo the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
