Perhaps?  I am going off what happened on screen and Karen was okay with it.  She really seemed to put her past behind her.  Sonny was awful to her, but she rebuilt her life and wasn't dwelling on it.  She and Sonny were never going to be bff or anything.  Jagger cheating on her was probably a bigger betrayal than anything Sonny did.  Just saying..

Well, today I had a thought but it seems none of you would care about it. That's fine. 

When they cast Harrington as Cates, many of you objected. Why not make him just anyone. Well, that question has now been answered. All this time Cates has been nursing an age old vendetta against Sonny for whatever the hell his reasons are, justifiable OR NOT.

I guess thats possible. I dont think Karen would ever be cool with Sonny because of their past . At the same time, I dont see Karen letting what Happened 21 years ago run her life. if she was alive and brought onto GH, maybe she make John Cates see this as well. We will never know. 

YES

And if PM was allowed to write what was planned, the story could have been good. We will never know.

It's not just possible.  It's what actually happened lol.  I don't if Karen was "cool" with Sonny, but she forgave him, was onboard with the Sonny/Brenda wedding, and moved on with her life.  

Sonny being a bad guy doesn't mean Jagger is right.  Karen is the human victim that gets to judge that and give her feelings about it.  Jagger can have his own thoughts but his actions belie any solid points he may have. Wagger waxing poetically on about Sonny being the worst is hollow because he has no leg to stand on IMO.    Like if they are going to go full in on Sonny Jagger should at least bring up Sonny's treatment of Brenda which is more relevant than something that happened in 1993.

I'll say this much for Chuck Pratt, Jr: if he were to rejoin GH as EP and/or HW, you KNOW the cast is gonna get slashed, because I just can't see him wanting to write for 10 characters, let alone 100.

Lol!   It's not like Sonny was right or a good, moral human, but Karen decided she was okay with it.   So at this point we have to take the way Karen took it as the narrative.  Jagger is making up his own narrative whether out of guilt or just being annoying.  It's just not what happened.

But...he'd probably find a way for Brenda to be written for so..Winning?

For some reason, Jagger's story is giving me the same vibes that J.T.'s return story on Y&R gave me years ago, and fellow Y&R fans know how that turned out.  (Read: brain tumor.)

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By prefab1 · Posted

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
