Are there soap characters on the same show who rarely interacted?

Jason Q and Sonny did interact a bit through Stone and Brenda.  Jason organized a party for Stone at the Q mansion and let him use the gym at the house and I remember him being against Sonny and Brenda (mostly peripherally at first).  I would say Jason Q/Sonny were friendly acquaintances at least.  they definitely knew one another were at several of the same events interacting like Ned/Lois's wedding and Nurses Balls. 

Sonny/Monica interacted while Sonny was on the ELQ board and in regards to Jason/AJ quite a bit.

My pick-

Liz/Brenda- I am not sure have ever even spoken to one another even though they had tons of characters in common.

It was a fun time for the Quartermaines!

I know Luke and Monica had scenes when he was married to Tracey, and also when Lucky and Emily ran away in the 90’s.  Plus on Monty’s GH there was lots of crossover, big party scenes, weddings, etc.

Robert solved the mystery of who killed Lila’s first husband and that involved all the Q’s.  Monica and Laura had lots of scenes in the 70’s, and several I can remember in the 1990’s.  Two great ones when the whole town was shocked to find out Laura and Lesley were alive, and then later on Monica came by to visit with Laura and a still semi-catatonic Lesley.

Now Anna and Monica I cannot remember anything of substance.  And I know she had scenes with Robin but I can’t remember any of them being important.  Maybe about Jason right after his accident.

I can’t think of any either.  And considering how much Luke and Sonny were connected during Labine’s run, I barely remember Laura and Brenda having scenes either.  She didn’t have much to do with Lois either, while sharing plenty of scenes with Katherine and Ned.

The only time I can recall Brenda/Liz interacting is in 1998 where they briefly meet at a Nurse's Ball rehearsal, but I think Brenda is talking to Lucky not Liz but she's there.

I remember Brenda/Laura interacting at Lukes a bit.  Not a ton, but I remember them being friendly.  And in 2010 Brenda made a point of asking Lulu how Laura was, so I don't think I am off on them being friends.  I just can't think of a specific scene lol.  I clearly remember Brenda being at Laura's 'funeral' in 1997 though.

I can't think of a Lois/Laura scene either but I know they interacted around town with the Stone stuff or at Luke's or the Outback.

I know they were both in the club when Clink/Boom happened.  But again, I don’t have strong memory of Lois and Laura sharing scenes.  Certainly nothing more than a crowd scene at the club, etc.  I think Laura was spared having to watch a lot of Eddie Maine performances lol.

Laura was pretty isolated after her first year back or so.  I assume it was due to her post maternity leave shooting schedule which allowed her to be up first and out early.

There were so many Eddie Maine performances I am sure Laura caught one of them lol.  She definitely caught Mary Mae's performances and I think Miguel Morez's as well.   I think I remember them interacting at Stone's Christmas party and funeral, but it's been awhile.  I also remember them being in the background of a Sonny/Brenda blowout in the parking lot at Luke's and they are yelling at Ned and Luke respectively.  Again, I am sure there is more, but Lois/Ned are harder to find on youtube than Luke/Laura or Sonny/Brenda so Ned/Lois seem to flit in and out of a lot of scenes I watch.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

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

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
