To a certain degree I think we can let our speculation be led by the opposite of what Dan & Chris were going to do. 

For example, Dan & Chris were bringing Morgan back. 

For another example, Dan & Chris were having Jason go to Liz. 

(Multiple people have talked about these 2 things.)

I'd sooner see Jason knockin' boots with Audrey!

IMO, LW's best chemistry was with Amelia Heinle on LOVING/THE CITY and Kim Zimmer and Cynthia Watros on GL.  No, I'm not kidding.

IMO, there's more drama and conflict to be had with Liz, as a single mom of three boys/young men, finding love with someone who isn't already one of her baby daddies.  Someone who's solid and reliable - possibly, working as a doctor at the hospital - and who isn't played by Michael Easton, lol.

It is not a given in soap fandom that any & every potential pairing will get a fair shot. And, I know, we all know this. I believe the biggest problem is that GH mgmt. thinks FIZ is a success. Apparently in the vein of there being no such thing as bad publicity, they count any mention of Liz, or Fiz or Finn as a sign that the audience is watching & engaged with that character or couple. So, context be damned, when I write #FreeLiz it goes into the plus column for the pairing. So, taken to its logical conclusion that means I should STFU about Liz entirely as long as they persist with Fiz. (Am I losing my mind?)

I am not really even commenting on Liz/Jason vs. Finn/Liz.  I just never thought Jason/Liz really ever got a shot as a real couple.  The romance was started and stopped so many times for other characters like Courtney and Sam.  Sure, they got a kid out of it and I guess that's fine.  I just don't know if they were ever a really together and they have a decent fanbase.  I, again, would try Jason with someone new.

JaSam vs. Liason was never a big thing for me though.  Both couples are okay to me.  I don't like or dislike either pairing.

I understand. I'm not violently for or against Sam or Liz. Although I think Sante is viable so I don't really see the need for disrupting something that is actually working. I will admit that Liz seems to me to be going backwards. 

The only thing I have heard, that I think is going to be true, is that we're going to see more of Jason as a father & I think that is a very cool idea! I find I am much more invested in seeing Steve portray more of Jason's humanity rather than the typical romance posture. 

I think if it were me in the hot seat, seeing the fanbase wars that I might throw up my hands in frustration. 

Yes, maybe that! I thought Britt worked very well & she was totally new. Who could be another Britt?

I'm pretty close to that feeling, too. 

So, on this point we disagree. Big whoop. We both will live. Frank & Varni both love ME. I believe their POV about him is way beyond anything Frank ever felt about Wes. Peter was a creation of Dan & Chris & they aren't particularly known for their intelligence, plus they dragged out how many stories?! Peter, Willow dying, that damned hook. This ridiculous Marshall current story is all theirs & thank god it's gonna be over soon because it is utterly absurd.

    • A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.
    • Honestly, they should've ordered more of 2000 Malibu Road for the 1992-93 midseason and aired it when Knots went on a break. That was probably their best shot.    Then of course they fumbled Central Park West by airing it in the 9PM slot instead of a 10PM slot where it would've been away from the Fox dramas. CPW got its best rating by airing randomly on a Sunday and when it was taken off the air for a "re-tooling", Party of Five's ratings actually had a spike, so clearly they were feeding off each other. But being a smaller network focused on a certain demographic, Fox could afford to be patient Party of Five, CBS couldn't... 
    • Agree on Bruce Gray as Owen; they needed to cast star power. He was too lightweight against Kim and he had no chemistry with Frances Fischer except more gay buddy or daddy figure.  I loved Nola and Eliot together though. Lee Godart should have been longer term.
    • Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him
    • I don’t recall MSW having a toy line in the late 80’s or early 90’s like all those Saturday morning cartoons did LOL but thought this was cute when I saw it in a vintage toy store yesterday:

    • Copying and pasting pasting this here as to not to derail the KL thread lol Wow I forgot CBS actually did try multiple attempts to come up with a soapy replacement for Knots on Thursday nights in the 10/9 slots for the 93-94 season.   Angel Falls had promise but CBS didn’t give it a fair chance. Latham’s Second Chances got even worse ratings than Angel Falls and wasn’t given a second chance when the Northridge quake destroyed the show’s sets. One West Waikiki looked gorgeous but was a blink you missed it affair. Finally we got Hotel Malibu, a quasi follow-up to Second Chances that stayed as the summer replacement series it was. CBS switched gears and had Chicago Hope air in the slot…against ER. It made the Top 30 but obviously underperformed below expectations. CBS gave up, and gave us 48 Hours for years there. It wasn’t until the 2002-03 season when CBS finally produced a Top 20 show for that spot with Without A Trace against an aging ER.
    • Of course I join in on wishing that Peacock & Corday & Sony would all together come to the conclusion that NOW would be a fine time to put some of these gems in the archive on full display!!! But, at the same time I'd like to give kudos to the fact that behind the scenes they've been doing the great work of preservation by taking tapes, etc. & converting them to modern digital formats. Besides the important fact of preserving them it means they are ready to go!
