RIP Jerry!!!! Loved his portrayal of Ross so much. There was no question he became the cornerstone of GL throughout the 90’s and up until his 2005 exit. 72 is way too young . 
 

My favorite pairing of his was with Sherry’s Blake, I wonder if she’s heard the news as well.

This years in memory of segment is going to be difficult and I hope they don’t screw it up or else they will have a lot of upset viewers. I think and hope we will hear from certain people eventually through others. I could see Kristen posting for her brother and with his own cancer battle… anyway I am expecting to hear from some of the guys at Gl perhaps Courtney Simon will tweet on behalf of Peter as they shared a dressing room for years and irl friends.

 

 Betterforgotten that clip today is even more poignant than it was back then…

I love that picture of him. Of course, what's not to love, his baby blues just about jump out at us! And you mention JVD working hard at OLTL. He was just a hard worker. So many at GL were of a time, maybe, or something, where they just had a strong work ethic. Of course I believe that in general daytimers work harder than anybody else. I believe Joan Collins found that

to be true while she was in Springfield.

Yes, I checked on them too but news needs time to travel, or they may very well grieve privately. Plus I don't think Gina has had much social media presence since Y&R.

Maureen Garrett is on Facebook. I think she is conservative in how much time she gives to the ether but she logged onto my soap page there just last week & made a post. I had uploaded this pic where she looks so young & she said that of course she did she was just a baby then.

Mark Lawson aka Brody on OLTL commented on Bree’s insta no idea how to share that…he mentions the last day of OLTL. There are some who won’t say anything and that is okay as I would rather someone not be forced to comment.

sad, sad news.

the morning of blake and ross’s wedding in 1994, ross and ed had a conversation — just a conversation between two old friends talking about their years of history — that i remember to this day, more than 25 years later . i cannot find it anywhere online. 

i’ve always suspected that it was part of the reel he submitted for his first emmy, in 1995. i remember reading somewhere that liz kiefer put together his reels. 

if anyone knows where it is, please post.

    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time. 
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.
