The Jessica moment was also treated very seriously - Soap at its best knew how to balance comedy and drama.
I don't think you are wrong about tidy endings - on Neighbours, which concluded (again - like GL the show was canceled and revived multiple times) a woman found out a month before the show ended that her husband was cheating with her daughter's friend, and they were strongly hinting at a reunion in the finale. I didn't mind the happy endings on GL as much because I thought most of them were believable. Vanessa and Billy had never split up because of lack of love - he shot someone and went to prison. Josh and Reva had split up and reunited again and again. So had Beth and Philip. Rick and Mindy were more of a stretch, but more on Mindy's side as the show seemingly never had her progress any as a person in her 15 years away from regular Springfield living. But as an ending I thought it was cute, even if they barely got any airtime. Krista and Michael always had good chemistry. If Kim Simms had been Mindy I would have had more of an issue.
