Sorry Funny. At 7 AM I was here, by 10 I was up to my neck in sick kids. Urgh.... maybe this is God's way of making me want my husband to come home. I need some sleep.

Welcome Stargazer. I love new playmates.

I'm pulling out the candles and crèches and St. Nicholas decoractions between laundry and typing. Even with the screamers being under the weather, I'm actually feeling the season more this year than I have in the past. LuNacy can only be a nice gift on top of everything.

You know what, it's just my computer screen. I went on another computer ('cause I had shut mine down earlier and didn't have the patience to load it back up), and it looked great. :D Sorry for the confusion.

hooked, thanks for the article! EDIT: But were they saying GF made JE better (i.e. raised her game)? 'Cause I don't buy that. I do think JE benefited in terms of screentime (obviously Tracy would be involved in an LnL reunion/farewell/whatever you want to call it), but I don't think JE's amazing acting had anything to do with GF being in the scene. She would have been amazing with anyone. Does that make sense?

Great LuNacy minds think alike! :P

AND I was also coming back to say it isn't hard to 'sparkle' when she's been out of the game for so long. She just had to put in a few weeks and wrap up the long drama of LnL (and it was a conclusion, Ms.Q), the rest have been doing this non-stop for years.

As far as I'm concerned LuNacy 'sprakles' plenty. The article makes it seem as though tg only does that with gf. ugh. :angry:

Remos I see you are back to debating that idiot over there on soc. What an ass. They love beating that dead horse.

:lol::lol: I was prepared to be nice, but when someone assumes they know my inner thoughts then the gloves come off. Most of the ewcbo fans (and lets face it, that's who the are - they sure aren't TG fans or they'd be happy with his story regardless) have gone back into their holes. A legitimate question or 3 was asked and this one just shoveled the LnL BS. Have your opinions but when a newbie asks for clarification that isn't the time to do your conga line dance.

I have to agree that while I think Genie Francis is a consummate pro, what we were seeing was the result of four fantastic actors with great chemistry together giving us a show of what we SHOULD see day to day on GH and just don't these days. It's one of the reasons people love the Q scenes so much - throw in that may talented veteran actors and you're going to see something special compared to the ongoing over-emoting that happens with a lot of the GH actors (Maurice Bernard, I'm looking at you).

That said, Jane Elliot doesn't need Genie Francis to raise her game - the woman can create acting chemistry with a lamppost.

FYI, SOAPnet is about to show the Wednesday 11/19 and Friday 11/21 eps (with the fantastic Tracy/Luke breakup scene and the one where he comes to the Q mansion to grovel). They usually show the current week's worth of episodes on Sunday, but this time we get this week's 3 eps along with Wed-Thurs-Fri eps from last week.

Also, did you guys see they're going to be showing classic GH Christmas eps on Dec. 25 (8 to 11 p.m. EST)? Looks like it's the Christmas eps from 1996, 1998 and 2004.

(Edited to say "four fantastic actors." Because seriously, Kin Shriner does NOT get enough props for managing to carry forth the junk they give him to play out. It was great seeing him in the mix with something more to do than snarl at the younger GH set.)

Sigh.... don't you just love it when we're all playing for the same team. B)

Wonder if we'll ever get SN in Canada.... not before Christmas at any rate. That sounds like a lovely present for all of you. I'll just have to curl up with Youtube.

Hey.... Fronzie dictates SN... do you think he's finally figured out that people want holiday themes during the holidays?

There is just one LnL holdout speaking right now, so SOC isn't bad at all.

I've referenced the article and this other person has obviously read it because she quoted part of it as well. But as for a blunt post, not I haven't. Wanna do it?

EDIT

Just saw this on SD and I had to laugh. Although it's meant to shut some fanbases up (and on SD you know you always have to question content), I love the message it's trying to send:

Sunday November 30th, 12:00 pm

OK I'll give it to you straight guys, no more speculations anymore and i wont tell you my name. You either believe me or you dont but i'll give it to you straight then you'll see it happening in the coming months.

At the moment Frons seems to have the power, ratings are bad so he uses that argument to dictate what Guza must write because he could easily fire the headwriter by using the poor ratings as an excuse, he did on AMC and OLTL, GH is the only soap left with the same headwriter and Guza knows. At this point what Maurice and Steve want at the moment dont count right now because Frons has the ratings as excuse to do whatever the hell he wants by saying '' we're in trouble and changes need to happen'' meaning Steve and Mo will shut up for now and do their stories without a word, so we have Skate done for now and SoClaudia marriage, in the coming weeks you will see Sonny and Claudia living a marriage that they wont realize is actually what suit them both, despite what people think Olivia/Sonny are not becoming a couple, Olivia is being used to set up the arrival of Dante and for that to bring drama, Olivia needs to connect with Sonny on some level but you wont see a couple in them, it will only look that way sometimes because they are also testing them at the same, why not?. Right now however Sonny and Claudia are supposed to be like Luke/Tracy: two people who were never meant to be that are going to realize their marriage is probably the only relationship that will work for them. On the other hand, you will have Jason and Sam, slowly you'll see them becoming allies again, right now Lusam will continue but the plan is to eventually show that Lucky isnt meant to be with Sam, that the cirscumstances will bring Jason and Sam full circle again. This does not mean the end for the quad but a major shift is coming.

Frons wants this and nothing will keep this from happening in the new year: Not Guza, Not Mo, not Steve because ABC daytime is in a fragile state right now and those people know right now they must shut up and let the higher ups do what it's takes, Frons is calling the shots now.

    • Dear God in Heaven (/KatherineChancellor), maybe blazer is the wrong word - I’m just saying André needs to wear baggy clothes or larger sizes cause he’s a short king and the sizes they’ve chosen for him make him look smaller and shorter than necessary

      btw he’s not even that young, must be around Martin’s age…
    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
