And both complete! Unlike so many other classic soaps gone to history due to tape wiping and other limitations of the times.

As far as the new writing regime- I am tempering my optimism by recognizing this will not be the same as it was 20+ years ago. But I do think it will be an improvement as far as character, day to day episodes, and stories with more depth and more beats played out.

 

 

With GH I believe the complete episodes begin in maybe 1979? I know that it’s very spotty before that. It might be 1980 when the actual full archive begins.

Apparently DAYS lost one early season, possibly the second year, to a warehouse fire. 

AMC & OLTL also suffered losses due to a shared warehouse fire. Apparently 5 early seasons. 

Just a little bitty question, ... 

GH Spotlight began with 2018. 

Y&R's classic channel began with 2018. 

Wtheck was special about 2018?!!

My biggest wish for this writing team is that they’ll put Genie front and centre where she belongs. Been waiting five years for Frank’s false promises to materialize. The show should revolve around the hospital and Laura.

On their latest podcast, Steve Burton & Bradford Anderson take a fan question which is who wrote his re-entry script (which he already said he cannot talk about what is in it). Burton said a lot about Korte's background with the show & his character & then said that Patrick joined her - he thinks - and that they crafted his new story. Starts at 11:30. He was quite complimentary about Korte. Of course he knows her. Doesn't yet know PM.

Yesterday an old friend caught me up on Mulcahey's work at B&B. I was watching for about 2 years then. I began with Karla Mosley's being hired as Maya but then didn't watch till the very end. So my friend said that besides writing dialogue that PM was the Story Consultant for Maya's Story. I would think that would have a lot in common with a HW's job. It made me get really excited but I have intentionally ratcheted it back to guarded optimism. Just afraid to get too excited. Seems there is safety in cynicism. But, I still have my fingers crossed.

In celebration, I went ahead and found PM's first credited appearance on GL. Someone many pages back said you could tell a PM script from the get go and this one is truly no exception. Could tell from the first interaction with Nick and Eve. 

 

Hope this means good things for daytime. I'll be rooting from the sidelines.

    • I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!
    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.
