- Who would everyone like to see Matt with? I can't believe he will hook up
- with Ellen. Is that her name,the doctor who is over the interns? Matt and
- Grace are great together. Would like to see Scotty, Kevin and Luke
- together trying to help Matt. Wouldn't they be great together? Maybe even
- Mac could get involved and they could all be in drag. What a riot that
- would be.
-
- On General Hospital, what is the deal with Mac and why was he kidnapped?
- Stupid story line don't you think. Hope Brenda and Jax's get together
- soon. They're great together.

- Hi to all!!!
-
- I was just wondering if anyone on this list would be so kind as to
- give some details in regards to Vanessa Marcil, Ingo & Tyler on the SOD
- awards (as to what they were wearing, how V & I were when they presented,
- when they won, etc....) I missed the awards because I was travelling out of
- town & forgot to set my VCR!!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

-
- Does anyone know how Rubys health is. When I seen her a couple of days
- ago, she looked like she could hardly work and breathing was hard for her.
- She is such a great actress, hope her health is okay.
- I sincerely hope Jason raises Micheal don't you? I can't imagine AJ being
- a dad and letting the Q's tell him what to do. What will happen to Alan
- when is caught popping pills. Will he admit he is addicted. Could be a
- good story line.
- On Port Charles, are going to learn more about Chris's background. He is
- so shady. Who is he having to pay money to and why? Hope Matt and Grace
- get together instead of ELLEN!!

-
- oh my. i couldn't DISagree with you more, on almost all counts! :)
- starting with this one. matt and grace do NOTHING for me. in fact,
- grace in general does nothing for me. ellen, on the other hand, is
- INTERESTING. plus, i think she has WAY more chemistry with matt than
- grace does. could be just because tptb have developed ellen much more
- than they have grace...but that's also probably a pretty good indication

-
- well...maybe. i'd rather see matt, ellen, and mike though. i think
- scotty and kevin have been through enough cloak and dagger stuff right
- now, and have more important things to worry about than an intern they
- barely know. and luke and mac, who are both similarly wrapped up in
- their own stories right now, don't even KNOW the guy. yeah, i think
- that crew could be good for a caper or two, but i don't think any of
- them need that right now, nor do i think this is the right caper. mike,
- however, has made it more than clear that he'd LOVE to help out, so i
- hope they go that route. he's been collecting surrogate sons ever since
- sonny left--so what's one more?
-
- on a related story...is that chris PURE EVIL or what??? ok, it was one
- thing (and one pretty nasty thing) to make matt fear for his life and
- run him out of town to eliminate him as competition for the quartermaine
- residency. but to now basically sign his execution order?!? i hope the

-

- don't know yet. someone is plotting to kill jax and frame mac, is all

-
- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKAY. <deep breath> HERE'S the one where i REALLY

-
- first of all, why would she think that now, after completely dropping

- SUCH a major decision, on the spur of the moment, when she has just

- (incidentally, if the breakdown IS over...that was the shortest recovery

-
- come on...this child isn't stable enough to pick out a COUCH, for god's
- sake...let ALONE someone to spend the rest of her LIFE with!!!
- obviously, i don't want them to put j&b back together EVER (if only

- brenda has become)...but if they DO pair them up again (okay, let's be

-
- I do agree with this part (except for the 'braindead' comment:). It was

- terribly. I don't know why she thought he'd just want to jump right back

-

-
- Very true. I'm sure that's exactly what Jax is thinking. He probably
- thinks Brenda's just bored or something, and wants to get back with him for
- fun. And like you say later on (I snipped it to save space:), Jax is right
- not to agree so soon after Brenda's mental problems.
-
- >(incidentally, if the breakdown IS over...that was the shortest recovery

-
- LOL. That's TV for you. It's like her miraculous two week recovery from a
- months long dependency on pain medication. ;-) I wish we could see Brenda
- going to therapy once in a while, but I guess not....

-
- Ahhh...now I understand (and I agree that Jax is a "god-like creature"),
- and I can see your point of view. However, I think that Brenda is a far
- better person than she was when she was with Sonny. She has become a
- little more independent, she's getting back on her feet job-wise, and she's
- working through her feelings/problems with Sonny. It's better than the
- sniveling, simpering, co-dependent girl she used to be when Sonny had her
- under his spell... Some more work, and she'll be good enough for Jax. Oh,
- and I love it that Brenda has to work to win Jax back! :D
-

-
- > and what's with this robin radar that jason seems to have,

-
- LOL!!! You're so right!! Yesterday Robin barely stepped onto the bridge,
- and Jason was there... You know, I actually don't want her with Jason
- anymore...not if he's going to stay the person he's become. How he can say
- he'll never tell AJ, and still sleep at night is beyond me. Carly is

-
- AMEN! Carly hit the nail on the head so many times -- a few low-blows to
- be sure, but Robin had them coming in a big way. Jason told her what he
- told her because he TRUSTED her and because her feelings are important to

-
- Amy again:
- >
- >Doesn't it bother you that Carly has no intentions of *ever* telling AJ
- >that he has a child?
-
- Nope. It bothers me more that AJ has returned to the Q fold. If AJ was
- still on his own, calling the shots in his own life, and making his own
- decisions entirely independent of the family, then I would. But AJ is
- proving Jason's point: the Q's being the brain-washing from childbirth.
- And Michael doesn't stand a chance in hell of keeping out from under the
- collective thumb of the family if he gets shunted off to them to raise.
-
- I think it's the EXACT same thing as Lois running like hell to keep Brooke
- Lynn out of their clutches.
-
- And whatever motives Carly has, which are easily debateable, I think
- Jason's are very close to Lois's and I agree with both of them.
-

-
- I think her argument is that Jason is Michael's "daddy" is every way that
- counts. Jason loves him, feeds him, changes him, puts him down, etc.
- There is NOTHING Jason wouldn't do for him. IMO *that* is more of a father
- than the sperm donor.
-
- >She makes me crazy. I want someone...ANYONE...to tell AJ!!

-
- I don't have a problem with her telling them both that they are wrong. Let
- her scream and yell and badger the hell out of them if she wants. It's
- just threatening to tell AJ herself that I have a problem with.
-
- Well, I take that back, what I REALLY have a problem with is Guza turning a
- character that I absolutely ADORE into such a sanctimoious and judgemental
- brat. Carly was right about one thing: I think Robin is WAY too used to
- being able to tell Jason that he's doing something "wrong" (by her esteemed
- standards) and then having him "follow orders" (to coin Carly's phrase). I
- think that's what's making Robin so crazy now -- no matter how many times
- she says he should, Jason is still refusing to let the Q's in Michael's life.
-
- And while I agree, on PRINCIPLE, that AJ should have a right to know his
- son, the fact remains that Keesha hit the nail on the head when she said
- that AJ didn't really want to be the father, he just wanted *something.*
- And I think when you combine all the factors, Jason is much better suited
- to being the father at this point.
-
- Besides, this kind of secret is what makes for good soaps. ;-)

-
- now THAT'S a complex question. i was a s&b fan from day one--back when
- they were both decently written and complex characters. brenda was a
- spoiled willful brat, sonny was a brooding mobster with dubious morals,
- and they were great fun to watch. and they were HOT HOT HOT!
-
- then, during the whole stone/aids saga, tptb really developed sonny into
- an AMAZING charater. i LOVED sonny from the beginning, but this just
- cemented it even more. (now...would i, in real life, get involved with
- an ex-drug-pushing/prostituting current mob boss, no matter how big his
- hidden heart of gold? not likely. but this IS just a soap! :) did i
- think sonny was good for brenda? well, i don't think a mobster in
- general is good for ANYONE in his life--occupational hazards being what
- they are. but i did think s&b had something. they definitely had that
- spark that made them fun to watch. but then...
-
- they threw lily into the mix. <shudder> and i'm with taiyin on this
- one:
-
- >But by the time Sonny married Lilly (the only soap character I have
- >EVER truly hated), they needed to cut the whole thing loose. But
- >they didn't and we got that triangle nightmare, and IMO that
- >storyline did irreperable damage to all three characters.
-
- yes. that was the beginning of the end, and by the time we were into
- full s/b/j mode, it was too late to do anything about it. all THREE
- characters suffered dreadfully from that one. i'm one of those rare s&b
- fans who actually LIKED jax. he was such fun at the beginning, when he
- was after lois (not that i wanted him to succeed THERE either...this man
- REALLY needs to find a woman of his OWN!) i even (perish the thought!)
- liked j&b together for a while--during their whole malibu trip and all
- that. but what killed it for me was the marriage ultimatum, and then
- the miranda thing. he very clearly knew brenda was still in love with
- sonny, and yet he strongarmed her into marrying him anyway, all the
- while never telling her that he had a secret first wife dead and buried
- in the past...that to me is no more of a healthy relationship than what
- s&b had.
-
- HOWEVER...even though i no longer wanted j&b together, and really was
- still rooting for s&b, the reunion was a HUGE disappointment, handled
- terribly, leading to the ridiculous on-the-run-with-goldilocks
- storyline, the tiger key mess, and the biggest travesty i've ever
- witnessed on any television show ever, the wedding-that-wasn't, the
- write-off of sonny, and the ensuing revision of history to portray sonny
- as the antichrist and the root of all that is evil in port charles.
- (which they are STILL doing, by the way! what was that tirade from
- brenda yesterday about the only time she was ever happy being when she

-
- see, now, my point of view on this is that jax was right--it IS too
- late. just as, by the time the whole lily/wire mess was over, it was
- really too late for s&b, it is now WAY too late for j&b. just as there
- are EXTREMELY few circumstances under which i would now, after the
- damage done to sonny's character, be able to accept brenda ever taking
- him back if he were to return (say, he underwent a forced lobotomy on

- i agree with taiyin. i think carly's motives are less than admirable,

-
- ditto. it's not like carly and aj had a RELATIONSHIP--they had one

-
- i'm with taiyin again. tell me you can look at jason holding and

-
- couldn't have said it better myself! :)
-

- true, true. and i loved him with robin and stone, and jason. i
- DEFINITELY liked him much better than brenda, even back when brenda used
- to be a character i could stomach for more than five seconds at a time.
-
- incidentally, taiyin...yes, i actually DID watch the brenda/jax

- brenda started the bit about only ever being happy when she was with

- That's all I could come up with. But they didn't really make it clear

- What's the deal w/Tony anyway? So, he slept with Carly who's his
- stepdaughter. There's no blood relation there. And with that "do" he has
- going? Out in the papers now, it's stating Michael gets kidnapped this
- week. Gee, Tony just happens to go bonkers and declare he's leaving PC.
- Little too obvious on that one. I guess we're s'posed to believe he's
- gonna do it. Stranger things have happened before! Did anyone catch the
- little glare Tony & Luke exchanged? They looked like they were going to
- start laughing at any minute. Probably from the hoopla that Mac &
- Felicia was doing the marriage bit for the entire town.

- THE SAD TRUTH: IT WAS RAPE!
-
- By JOSEF ADALIAN
-
- THE producers of "General Hospital" are about to take a
- sledgehammer to the popular myths surrounding the storybook
- romance of daytime's most famous couple: Luke and Laura.
-
- Starting tomorrow, the long-running ABC soap will begin a
- multiweek storyline in which young Lucky Spencer (Jonathan
- Jackson) finds out that his father Luke (Anthony Geary) raped his
- mother Laura (Genie Francis) months before the two became
- lovers.
-
- Lucky's discovery will allow "GH" to revisit the sordid origins of
- Luke and Laura's relationship - details which are
- well-remembered by the soap's hard-core fans, but which have
- been virtually ignored by the soap for nearly 20 years. Geary says
- he was shocked when the "GH" writers told him about the new
- storyline.
-
- "My first reaction was that it was a big can of worms that could
- eat us alive," Geary remembers. "I was terrified, basically."
-
- Casual viewers who know of Luke and Laura only from the
- couple's high-rated 1982 wedding might be shocked when they
- find out the real story behind the romance.
-
- Back in 1979, Luke Spencer and Laura Baldwin were merely
- good pals who worked together at Luke's Campus Disco. Laura
- was married, but the sexual tension between the 17-year-old
- Laura and the older Luke was clear.
-
- Luke finally acted on his attraction to Laura one late night in
- October 1979, when Laura discovered him crying at the Campus
- Disco's bar. Worried that he's about to be killed by mobster
- Frank Smith, Luke admits his love for Laura.
-
- "It's like some kind of sickness, eating me up - and I can't
- concentrate on anything. And in my business, that's dangerous,
- baby," Luke told Laura.
-
- After telling Laura that he's constantly dreaming about "holding
- you in my arms and making love to you," Luke then forces her to
- dance with him as Herb Alpert's "Rise" plays in the background.
- Laura pleads with Luke to let her go home, but instead, he rapes
- her (though viewers never see the act itself.)
-
- Rather than turn Luke in to the police, Laura fell in love with her
- attacker - and married him three years later. While the rape has
- been mentioned since then, "GH" producers tended to portray the
- incident as a "seduction" instead of what it really was: rape.
-
- "They probably downplayed it," Pat Fili-Krushel, president of
- ABC Daytime, told The Post yesterday. "But what they were
- trying to avoid was sending a message that women fall in love
- with their rapists."
-
- Now, ABC and "GH" are trying to send another message: Rape
- is rape - and it's always bad.
-
- "It was not acceptable then, no matter what the town said or the
- press said," says "GH" executive producer Wendy Riche, who
- was not with the show during the original Luke and Laura
- storyline.
-
- Still, "We didn't approach it as "let's make amends'," Riche adds.
- "We didn't feel guilty or felt like we had to."
-
- The new storyline begins tomorrow when Lucky's half-brother
- tells him Luke raped their mother, Laura. Lucky tries to find out
- whether the charge is true - and next Friday, March 13, Lucky
- will confront Luke with the rape accusation. On Monday, March
- 16, Luke will explain what happened, delivering an emotional
- five-minute monologue. Since Francis is not currently on the
- show, Laura will not be involved in the plot.
-
-
- me again. i really hope they do an extended flashback of
- the original scene--i've always wanted to see it...this
- could be my chance! hope they do...

- Oh man, it kills me that Genie isn't here for this. It's absolutely
- painful to have all this go down without her. Geez.
-
- Yesterday when Lucky was talking to Liz about the fact that because of her
- he now has a better understanding of what his mother went through -- he
- should have been able to have that conversation with Laura, too. I think

-
- "Luke and Laura: Lovers on the Run" tape series released by ABC has this on

-
- i TOTALLY agree!
-
- a question--is is at ALL within the realm of possibility that she IS
- coming back (or is already back) and tptb are just managing to keep a
- VERY tight lid on that fact to surprise everyone? i know in this day of
- rampant spoilers, almost NOTHING stays a secret...so would it be even
- possible to do it that way if tptb wanted to? because can you imagine
- how unbelievably cool it would be to just have her SHOW UP one of these
- days?
-
- i know, not likely. tptb would want to milk that news for all it was
- worth, for publicity and stuff. but still...wouldn't it be cool?
-
- just call me pollyanna...

- LOL! now, a question...mr. hardy boy himself mac scorpio was the FIRST

-
- sheesh. where's v when you need her...they really DO need to get things
- going. although, with a wedding date of april 18, at least we know
- they'll have to wrap it up by then! :)
-
- hey, wouldn't it be cute if mac and felicia and kevin and lucy had a
- double wedding? (i know, i know...i can hear taiyin now, screaming that
- after ALL they've been through, kevin and lucy deserve to have the
- wedding of our...um, i mean THEIR...dreams ALL TO THEMSELVES. and i do
- agree...but i STILL think it would be cute! and at least it would set
- a date! :)

- Rena Sofer (ex-Lois), Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco) and John Stamos.

-
-
-
- Lucky Uncovers Disturbing Hospital Records
-
- Nikolas' accusations about Luke's past with Laura hit Lucky hard. He
- attacks Nikolas' words with the force of a true Spencer. Believing

- Stefan about the facts. Stefan assures him that it is all true, but
- warns Nikolas that Luke will retaliate if he learns where Lucky got the
- scoop.
-
- Knowing of Scott's relationship with his mother before Luke came into
- the picture, Lucky turns to him for answers, but finds him
- uncooperative. Later the GH records department confirms Lucky's fears
- when he discovers some disturbing documents. Meanwhile, Lucky continues
- to be Liz's biggest support as she deals with the repercussions of her
- rape. Dealing with her problems serves to emphasize the pain and
- humiliation of what she went through.
-
- ABOUT THE KIDNAPPING: Jason and Carly are staggered to learn that baby
- Michael has been kidnapped. Jason wants to handle the situation his own
- way, but both Taggert and Garcia have plans of their own. They suggest
- that Jason and Carly keep quiet about the situation, but Carly insists
- on calling Bobbie, who throws it back in Carly's face that she is the
- cause of her baby being in danger. Meanwhile, the authorities believe a
- Quartermaine is the prime suspect.
-
-
-
- Brenda Will Do Anything to Win Back Jax
-
- Brenda is trying to woo Jax the way he wooed her but it's not really
- Brenda, explains head writer Robert Guza, Jr. She gives him a set of
- adventure books and gets him his favorite Irish oysters. [oh GAG!!! i'm
- sorry, i COULDN'T let that pass without comment...julie] Jax enjoys
- being on the receiving end, but he doesn't reciprocate Brenda's romantic
- overtures. "The central issue is that Brenda has chosen Sonny," Guza
- continues. "She has to get past Sonny, and deep down they both know that
- Jax is wildly amused and having a great time with all of these
- extravagant gestures and fun stuff, but he still knows that wall between
- them has not been dealt with."
-
- Although Jax knows Brenda loves him - and he also knows he loves her -
- he doesn't know if they will wind up together. [obviously he hasn't
- been reading any of guza's numerous interviews. -j ] Guza notes that
- Jax is "the huge risk taker - that's the big gamble. He loves the game
- above everything else. He's the corporate raider who buys up all these
- companies and sells them off because there is no challenge in running
- them. The challenge is in the conquest. This is the one challenge he
- can't be sure he will win." [yawn]
-
- The uncertainty of their future will come into even stronger focus
- shortly when a dramatic turn of events stops being humorous and becomes
- life-and-death. "In the course of this mini-arc," Guza says, "Brenda has
- to deal with a situation in which she has to come to terms with her
- horrible anger against Sonny."
-
-
-
- News and Notes
-
- Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) welcomed her first child, a girl, Kate, in Los
- Angeles early the morning of Feb. 24. Mom and baby are doing fine. Among
- the actors who have auditioned for the role of Jerry, Jax's
- brother, are Don McVicar, who is on the recurring status as Clarke on
- B&B, and Michael Corbett, ex-Michael, Ryan's Hope.
-
-
-
- SPRING PREVIEW
-
- The effects of Liz's rape continue to be far reaching. And even though
- there will be some resolution in the "whodunit" aspect, much more
- important are the psychological ramifications of the unfolding events
- on people such as Lucky, who finds himself in the throes of reconciling
- himself with Luke's deceit. In his anger and devastation, Lucky winds up
- aligning himself with Luke's most dangerous adversary. Luke is also
- furious and goes after Stefan and Nikolas. The whole melee drives a
- further wedge between Bobbie and Luke. Look for everything to come to a
- head at a huge social event at Wyndemere.
-
- Everyone is a suspect in Michael's kidnapping, but once the guilty party
- is discovered, according to Guza, "The punishment isn't quite what was
- anticipated for the guilty party, so Carly will take the law into her
- own hands."
-
- Carly makes another bold move when, for the first time in her life, she
- begins to understand what it feels like to be secure. As she gets closer
- to her son and knows she can depend on Jason, in typical Carly
- fashion, she goes a little overboard and jeopardizes that security. At
- the same time, Carly's behavior brings out the fighter in Robin that

-
- Brenda continues her campaign to win Jax back despite his resistance,
- but the situation takes a much more serious turn when she and Jason are
- thrown together in a life-or-death situation, propelling Brenda
- back to what happened at the altar with Sonny. Guza says the
- relationship between Brenda and Jax reaches a climax, and adds that,
- "The thing that's been between them all along comes between them for
- one final time."
-
- Tess and company finally make their move on their target - Jax - but,
- "The person who gets it is not the person we think is going to get it,"
- says Guza. "And the person behind it is not who we think is behind it."
- A new character will be introduced following the attempt on Jax's life.
- Through all of this, Mac and Felicia are stuck together.
-
- Tony continues to battle the demons that took him over when B.J. died.
- Alan, too, is waging war with his own demons, and Taggert pursues him
- with a vengence in order to get to Jason. When Alan's drug supply begins
- to dry up, desperation takes over. Ultimately, Alan's problem claims
- other victims, including people he cares about very deeply - people who
- are going to suffer as a result.

- I'm hoping along with everyone else that perhaps, Genie is on her way
- back. Also, has anyone ever noticed, when a character is coming back,
- hints are dropped, like mentioning them more than before...Nikolas'

-
- we'd have to have been blind to miss it--they certainly did it enough
-
- The point about seeing the pix is, 1st of all w/Laura, I don't think
- they'd be crazy enough to even imagine recasting Genie, Bob Guza has
- said in interviews he'd do "anything" to get her to come back. And
- regarding the contract issue, people have been released from their
- contracts early for many reasons. (Melissa Reeves-Days of Our Lives is
- an interesting candidate here!) I agree, I can't even believe that GH
- would go full steam ahead w/this storyline w/out Laura front & center.
- There's going to be the most important point of view missing from this
- story, the victim, being Laura (but how many victims end up marrying the
- rapist, really???). This could make things more viotile being Luke &
- Lucky & that may just be where all the storyline lies!

- Both Taiyin and I missed Friday's GH, so I'd be glad if someone filled me

-
- As for "How stupid...." Granted, it probably wasn't the wisest thing in
- the world that Carly's ever done. But if you're in a public place in which
- you are well known, it's not that unlikely that you would rather leave the
- kid in his stroller, content, than carry him with you to answer the phone a
- few feet away. In normal circumstances, you would probably expect the kid
- to be fine.
-
- Of course, Taiyin and I both missed Monday's GH as well <grrrr>, but I
- caught today's, and was very impressed.

- Carly didn't have a bodyguard with her. When she was told she had a phone
- call went to the desk and left the stroller behind. I know it's only a
- soap, BUT she could have taken the stroller with her. When she started
- looking for the baby, the first place she looked was under the sofa, as if
- he got out and crawled under it. I still don't know why she called Bobbi.
- She said she was the first person she thought of. Thats kind of hard to
- understand. Then Bobbie turned to her and reamed her out for not being more
- carefully with the baby, and was real rude to Carly. I guess it wouldn't
- be a soap otherwise would it? Rickie

-
- my goodness we've been quiet lately...
-
- two things. first of all, regarding gh--i don't get this whole vow of
- secrecy about the kidnapping thing. it makes no sense to me. "go on
- acting as normal and don't say anything to everyone"...and, WHAT...
- the kidnapper will think, "oh gee, maybe they didn't NOTICE their baby
- was gone?!?" if the point here is to not spook the kidnapper, it just
- doesn't make much sense to me. OBVIOUSLY the kidnapper knows the baby
- is missing, and knows THEY know the baby is missing, and knows they're
- not going to just say "oh well, michael's gone. pass the salt please."
- so who exactly are they fooling here?
-
- secondly, about pc...WHAT ON EARTH IS LUCY THINKING??? i can understand
- this whole staying-married-to-rex-to-bleed-him-dry thing. but wanting
- to keep that emerald ring??? how COULD she? if i were kevin i would
- NOT be happy about that. and if i were lucy, i wouldn't even WANT it.
- i don't care how gorgeous or expensive it is, it would still be a
- reminder of HIM. yuck.
-
- that's all for now.
-
- julie
-
- p.s. i lied--one more thing. even I'M getting curious about those
- apples now...taiyin, i hope you get to the bottom of this on your set

- Subject: GH/PC: Set Tour
- Date: 13 Mar 1998 12:15:01 -0800
-
- Well, it's only taken a few days to recover, but Cagey and I are here in
- LA, dying of the heat, and I am still a seriously happy camper over the set
- tour.
-
- So, details (spoilers at the very end)...
-
- Well, we went on Tuesday morning, we needed to be there at 9:15 a.m.
- because Jon and Lynn were both supposed to be taping around 9:00. Of
- course I was awake and staring at the ceiling at about 5:00 a.m., so we
- were a bit early.
-
- We finally found the right gate and made our way to the studio. We got
- pictures of ourselves in front of the Emergency sign that they use on the
- oudoor set, which is actually the main enterance to the building.
-
- The girl who was taking us around led us out of the GH building and to the
- PC one. We slipped onto the set and made our way to the back, where we sat
- (and where I shamelessly drooled) and we watched Jon and Lynn shoot three
- of their four scenes. The crew was all very sweet; some of the guys gave
- up their chairs so we wouldn't have to stand, and everyone kept offering to
- get us something to drink.
-
- Sunny (the girl who was giving us the tour) seemed to think we were bored
- with the shooting process. HA! They were having some technical problems,
- and you could tell (especially from Lynn) that things were not running as
- smoothly as they usually did.
-
- And right about here I have to break and say that Anne and Razz were 100%
- dead on with their report: Lynn Herring is beyond beautiful. WAY beyond.
- She was gorgeous. Best of all, though, she was gracious and very sweet and
- funny and friendly.
-
- So we watched them work and in the middle of it Lisa Ann Hanley, who plays
- Julie, showed up and was talking and joking around with the crew while they
- were blocking and rehersing for K&L's scenes. Sunny brought her over to
- meet us. She was also very sweet and said that she just got online about
- four months ago, and is enjoying it, but hasn't got it all figured out yet.
- She was very cute and animated, and DAMN, that girl is tiny.
-
- After the third item Sunny went and got Jon and Lynn, because our clock was
- ticking down, and, after all, we were there to meet them. She brought them
- over and both of them were seriously cool. We told them that we ran a
- Kevin & Lucy list, and Lynn, who doesn't have internet conncetivity at all,
- wanted to know what exactly that meant. Jon asked if it was like a newsgroup.
-
- Jon, BTW, looked sensational also (big shock there). He was wearing a
- gorgeous, slightly billowy, off-white shirt -- almost a poets shirt, dark
- charcoal grey pants and a VERY nice dark burgendy blazer.
-
- So we talked for a few minutes, but they had to get back to work and we had
- some more stuff to see, so we said good-bye and Sunny took us upstairs to
- see who else we could find. We went into the make-up room and Julie Pinson
- and Lisa Ann were there.
-
- About that time it occured to me that I forgot to ask Jon and Lynn WHAT the
- hell is up with Kin and those apples, so I figured Julie would be the next
- best person to ask. She said that Kin just wanted something that he could
- turn into an on-running joke, and he did eat apples all the time. It
- didn't start out of anything other than Kin's desire for a little amusment.
- ;-)
-
- So Cagey pulled the apples out of her bag that we bought to give Kin (who
- didn't end up coming in until after we left). I pulled out the green one
- and handed it to Julie and said: "Here. Give this to Kin -- just for a
- little variety."
-
- She laughed and said that they JUST shot an ep where he ate a green apple,
- but that she'd give it to him for us.
-
- And Lisa Ann asked whose birthday it was. I'm still not sure where that
- question came from, because *I* never said it was my birthday, and for all
- I know she was speaking to someone else entirely, but I said that mine was
- last week, and she was just really sweet and sincere. (Cagey says: I told
- them it was Taiyin's birthday <g>)
-
- So Sunny took us upstairs to the dressing rooms, but most of them were
- empty. The only person up there was Michael Deitz. That boy looks AWESOME
- in his glasses. Simply awesome. But even cooler was the five and a half
- month old puppy he had bounding out the door as soon as he opened it. She
- was SO cute, I only wish I remembered her name.
-
- Of course, I chose that moment to have foot-in-mouth disease. The phrase,
- "Oh! Even the actors aren't as cute as the puppy!" popped out of my mouth.
- Thankfully Cagey smacked me in the arm, because that was NOT what I meant
- to say (just shoot me. I've had puppy fever lately and she was ADORABLE).
-
- Sunny then took us downstairs again, and on our way back downstairs we ran
- into Nolan North (Chris) and Rib Hillis (Jake) downstairs. They were so
- funny. Rib hadn't heard them call his scene, and as Rib went tearing to
- the set, Sunny commented to Nolan something along the lines of "Sorry we
- stole your playmate." Nolan looked at us and said, "We run around here
- like a couple of kids."
-
- But at various times several people put Sunny on the spot a bit and asked
- us if we were going to get to see the GH set, too. (Cagey says: I will be
- eternally grateful to Lisa Ann--she was the first who asked, and she made
- it sound ludicrous that we *wouldn't* see the GH set, and Sunny felt
- obliged. Thank you Lisa Ann!!)
-
- Anyway, we headed back to the PC set, because Jon and Lynn were wrapping
- up. We were WAY off to the side, but Lynn saw us and waved frantically.
- As they wrapped and went to leave, they said good-bye again, and I
- shanghaied them for a picture. We got two shots of all four us of. Jon,
- me, Cagey, and Lynn all in a line, and then when Sunny asked if we wanted a
- second one just in case, Lynn said, "Switch!" and she and Jon switched
- places on either end of the line.
-
- We didn't get to talk much, but I did <ahem> manage to ask Jon how long he
- planned to keep the beard. <g> He said, "Until I get tired of it." And he
- didn't sound as though it would be ANYTIME real soon. He said that he had
- to shave it Wednesday night after work for something, but that he'd be
- growing it back over the weekend (he and Lynn only worked Monday -
- Wednesday this week). (Cagey says: I think Taiyin is just gullible <g>)
- Lynn asked if my question about his beard was a complaint and I almost
- tripped over my tongue saying no, certainly NOT a complaint. (Cagey says:
- She nobly refrained from comment! Bwahaha!)
-
- So Jon and Lynn had to go -- Jon is doing a crossover to GH, and he was
- being ushered off to John York's dressing room (after a bit of humorous
- commentary on the fact that he still has his OWN dressing room over there
- "with his name on it and everything"). So Sunny took us down the set a bit
- to see the next scene they were shooting.
-
- Jake, Frank and Lark were in it together, but we didn't get to watch for
- long, because we were on the clock and hitting our time limit. (Cagey
- says: We didn't get to meet Jay Pickett, but he looks just as intense in
- real life as he does onscreen.) So on our way back to the offices (to give
- Sunny our addresses so she could send us autographed copies of the script
- and pictures) we swung through the GH set. Since we weren't cleared ahead
- of time to be there, though, we mostly just walked through -- we saw a few
- sets, Cassadines in particular. One of them, though, was one we haven't
- seen before. We couldn't tell whose it was supposed to be and Sunny didn't
- know, either.
-
- When we got there, though, they were shooting a scene with Jonathon Jackson
- (couldn't see who, if anyone, else was in the scene), and Sunny ushered us
- out because it was "top secret" and we weren't supposed to see it.
-
- She took us through the halls of GH dressing rooms and we ran smack into
- Jon coming out of John York's dressing room, heading towards the set. He
- was wearing a very nice dark suit. :-)
-
- She checked the schedule and though there were lots of people on it, the
- building was pretty deserted. She went to Billy Warlock's dressing room to
- find him and found Real Andrews (Taggart) instead. So he came out and
- talked to us. He was SUCH a ham. Cracked me up. He asked us all kinds of
- questions, including what we thought of Taggart. I said that I liked
- Taggart except when he was sexually harrassing Dara. He got this sort of
- crooked smirk on his face and said, "Sexually harrassing? But she's the
- ADA, if anyone can smack him down it would be her." At which point I
- clarified what I meant: What I don't like is that she lets him get away
- with it.
-
- He grinned and said, "Yeah, she shoulda smacked me a couple of times, huh?"
-
- Then he talked about the SOD Awards and how much fun they were. He told us
- about a billboard that he and a few other soap guys had (supposedly on
- Santa Monica Blvd.). We've been up and down that road about 20 times this
- week and have yet to spot it, though. We got a picture with him (Cagey
- says: Real has animal magnetism by the barrell-full. Mrrooowr) and then
- he told Sunny why we couldn't find any of the people who were on the
- schedule: they were all on the schedule because they were updating the
- credits, so they all came in, were there for fifteen minutes, and then left.
-
- We said good-bye to him, and headed out. Sunny tried one more time to find
- some more people around for us to meet, so Cagey and I waited in the hall,
- at which point Cagey pointed out a poster that I SOMEHOW managed to miss:
- Kevin and Lucy in a bathtub, fully clothed (or as "fully clothed" as they
- EVER dress Lynn, anyway), with Sigmund sitting on the edge. But the
- coolest part was that the shot was taken from directly above the tub,
- looking straight down on them. Their heads were at opposite ends of the
- tub, and their legs were all tangled together, and they were both looking
- up at the camera.
-
- At the bottom of the full-sized poster (which I would sell almost any
- relative I have to get) there was Lucy's "Chardonnay, Debussy, my man and
- my duck" quote from a few years ago. And there was the slogan from one of
- their old promos "(more tomorrow)" below that. (At which point I believe I
- started ranting, yet AGAIN, about the fact that, the shot of Ned and Lois
- hanging on the opposite wall was from that same campaign and that any
- online GH fan would have to hurt themselves to try to avoid tripping over
- it, but die-hard K&L fans couldn't find THEIR promo shots anywhere to save
- their lives. Grump.)
-
- Cagey pointed out that while breaking the glass on the frame, and ripping
- the picture from the wall would probably NOT be the coolest idea in the
- world, we COULD take a picture of it. So we'll have to wait and see how it
- turns out.
-
- Other observations: the sets looked really, really small. It seemed
- strange, because they didn't seem NEARLY as big as they do on-screen.
-
- The scenes they shot are on the revised version of the old lighthouse set.
- On screen the remodel job annoys me because it looks all beige, and too
- similar to the den set for my enjoyment. But in real life the set is
- actually a lot of greys and light blues.

-
- Well, the K&L scenes we saw them shoot were very cool, and DEFINITELY
- storyline turning point on a couple of different levels.
-
- For starters, Lucy is reading a murder mystery, written by Anomynon, and
- the character named "Nancy" seems to bear an uncanny resemblence to our Ms.
- Coe. At the beginning of the ep Lucy is furious and throwing the book
- across the room, because Nancy was killed "at the Nurses' Ball." Kevin
- walks in the door just as she pelts the book, and then Lucy launches into a
- tirade about how she knows that Rex was the author of this book and he's
- just doing it to torture her and he's enjoying killing her in effigy.
-
- As Lucy is about to launch into some sort of legal action against Rex, Doc
- confesses that he knows who the author is: he wrote the book himself,
- while Lucy was living at the hotel and then with Rex. It was his own form
- of therapy to deal with everything that happened. And the only reason that
- his name wasn't on the cover was because the publisher was trying to drum
- up mystery to boost sales.
-
- Lucy's reaction is less than delighted. She is upset that Kevin didn't
- tell her, but then the little bit about Lucy not being the world's greatest
- secret keeper came up. She tried to defend herself by declaring that she
- COULD keep secrets... at which point (thank you, Lynn Latham!!) we get
- Kevin reminding her about the time that she took all of his paintings to
- the Outback for the whole town to see.
-
- The other interesting bit in there is that **Victor is living with them at
- the Lighthouse.**
-
- He returns from a walk to the duck pond as they are discussing the book,
- and heads upstairs to take a bath and finish the "remarkable book he found
- on the hall table." He takes one look at Kevin, snickers "Anomynon" and
- heads upstairs.
-
- And THEN, the last interesting bit, and the one that is in all likelihood,
- the BIG storyline on their horizon: apparently at the end of Kevin's book
- (which is called "General Homicide," btw) there is a scene that Victor
- recognizes (I couldn't hear exactly what it was, because that was the last
- scene they shot and we weren't very close to the set at the time, and we
- missed most of the rehersals) from Kevin's childhood. Victor says to
- Kevin: "I didn't think you remembered that." Kevin's reaction is shock,
- because he DOESN'T remember anything and has no idea what Victor is talking
- about. (Cagey says: Another possible take, because the dialogue was a bit
- vague out of context, is that Kevin somehow vented his feelings about his
- relationship with his father in the book, and Victor picked up on it. But
- I was further away from the set at that point, so Taiyin probably heard the
- dialogue more clearly than I did.)
-
- The whole tone of it, though, was the "beginning of a mystery" thing.
- Kevin tried questioning Victor about what he meant, but Victor back-tracked
- and never really said.
-
- And then the only non-K&L spoiler we have is kinda spooky, actually: Lark
- and Jake start dating, she lies about her name and age, they SLEEP TOGETHER
- <shudder> and then Lark sets them both up for Frank to find half dressed in
- Jake's apartment.
-
- And, as another aside, I must say that Jay Pickett (Frank) is incredibly
- good looking in RL(tm), too. And, as Cagey noted, he is every bit as
- intense in real life as he is in character.
-
- Anyway, the scene we watched part of had Frank freaking out and Jake trying
- to fix things, while Lark was being a twerp again.
-
- And that was about it. Sunny took us back to the office, we gave her our
- addresses, we told her which actors we'd like autographs from, and we split.
- (Cagey says: We were supposed to get lunch in the commissary, but they
- didn't mention it at all! I'm very bummed about that. Also, we left a
- card for Nancy Grahn and the baby. Sunny said that mom and baby are doing
- very, very well, and Nancy's still out for maternity leave. And we looked
- for Tony Geary's gold Porsche in the parking lot, but didn't seat it.)
-
- And the reason ya'll didn't get this report on Tuesday night was because we
- came home and I nearly imploded and it's taken me this long to recover. ;-)

-
- There is a lot of old history between those two.
-
- For starters is the fact that AJ and Ned have ALWAYS competed to be the
- apple of Edward's eye. No matter how much lip service either of them might
- give to not caring what the old man thinks, BOTH of them have been known to
- turn themselves into human pretzles to keep him happy.
-
- Jason was the neutral one, who didn't care about ELQ and was too much of a
- saint to get involved in the unethical stuff the family was doing, which is
- the ONLY reason (IMO) that Ned never competed with him. Jason was going
- into medicine, and so he never got involved with ELQ (except to oppose the
- incinderator project), and he was never a threat to Ned's position as the
- Heir Apparent.
-
- That is another bone of contention between them: Ned actively blames AJ
- for Jason's accident. AJ does, too, but to a lesser degree (and not as
- much these days as he used to). The rest of the family has, in many ways,
- forgiven AJ (as much as any of the Qs are capable of actual forgiveness)
- for injuring Jason, but Ned hasn't.
-
- Then there is always Julia Barrett. After Julia left Ned, she got involved
- with AJ. That ticked Ned off BIG TIME.
-
- It's just a combination of factors, really. Ned and AJ are in direct
- competition with each other on a daily basis, because they choose to work
- and function in the same circles. If one of them would remove himself from
- ELQ and Edward's domain, they'd probably co-exist a little more easily.
-
- Back in the old days, before Ned married Jennie, Ned's primary competitor
- for ELQ and Edward's praise was Alan. Ned and Alan made a vie for control
- of ELQ and Ned ended up winning, and that was when Alan returned to
- medicine for good. He hasn't looked back since. But shortly after that AJ
- became old enough to throw him into that arena to take his father's place.
- And since then it's been Alan Junior, instead of Alan Senior, who goes
- toe-to-toe with Ned on a regular basis.

- Subject: GH/PC: ADMIN: List Rules
- Date: 16 Mar 1998 13:55:57 -0800 (PST)
-
-
- Just a reminder of the list rules for all. In addition to
- keeping quotations from other posts to a minimum, and
- including spoiler space wherever appropriate (if you are in
- doubt, leave spoiler space), please remember to include
- subject lines that are appropriate to your posts.
-
-
-
- Welcome! This list is for discussion of "General
- Hospital" and "Port Charles." Because we want
- this list to be a great place to talk about "GH/PC,"
- we are setting up a few ground rules. If you've
- ever been involved in a discussion list, many of
- these rules will look familiar. Hopefully, they'll
- make list life more interesting (and more fun)
- for everyone.
-
- In order to send mail to the list, address all
- messages to port-charles@xmission.com
-
-
- 1. Keep posts on topic. We're a small list now,
- but as we get larger the volume will (hopefully!)
- increase. Topics should be related to GH and/or
- PC, the actors involved in either project, etc..
- Discussion of other soap operas is fine as long as
- they're being discussed in relation to GH/PC.
-
- 2. Please be careful with the use of strong imagery
- or language in consideration of younger list members.
- Think "rated PG-13."
-
- 3. No advertising of *any* non-GH/PC related items
- or services. Also, no binary files of any sort (including
- images, wavs, MOVs, etc).
-
- 4. If you get advance information on a new episode,
- or see an episode earlier than the national viewing
- time, and you want to post about it, please do the following:
-
- **Mark the post as a "spoiler" in the subject header.
- **Leave about twelve lines (blank or with non-spoiler
- info) at the top of the post.
-
- This ensures that anyone who doesn't like knowing
- about an episode ahead of time is "protected." :) The
- blank space is for people whose mailers automatically
- open up the next piece of mail, without giving them a
- chance to see "spoiler" in the header.
-
- 5. Most importantly, there will be ABSOLUTELY NO
- FLAMING ONLIST. We have absolutely zero tolerance
- for this kind of behaviour. Flames can kill a list,
- permanently damage relationships, and make life a
- lot less fun for everyone.
-
- What's a flame?
-
- NOT A FLAME: "I don't think so-and-so is a very good actor."
- FLAME: "So-and-so is a twit who can't act and has no brain."
-
- Broadly defined, a flame is a personally derogatory,
- inflammatory comment about another list member,
- their progenitors, or about any of the actors, writers,
- directors, producers or crew of "GH" or "PC."
- Disagreements-- even heated ones-- are expected.
- But the minute you start slamming someone personally,
- you will face the Wrath of Taiyin and Cagey.
-
- First offense: offender is unsubscribed for one week.
- Second offense: offender is unsubscribed to the GH/PC
- list for a minimum of three months. If the offender
- returns and flames again, they're offlist permanently.
-
- And no, it doesn't matter that the actors, writers, etc.
- from "GH" or "PC" aren't onlist; we won't put up with
- anyone flaming them anyway. There are slander laws
- against it. It's also common courtesy.
-
- Determination of what is (and what is not) a flame is
- made by the listowners, and their decisions are final.
- Determinations of any penalties associated with flames
- are also made by the listowners, and their decisions are
- final.
-
- 6. Related to #5, the listowners reserve the right to "kill"
- any discussion threads which either of the listowners
- deem offensive, or which appear to be degenerating into
- a flame war. If either one of us declares a topic "dead,"
- it's dead. Anyone who continues the discussion thread,
- against our express *posted* wishes, will be
- immediately noposted for one week.
-
- 7. No "me too" posts. If you agree with something someone
- said, and yet don't have anything new to add to it, then send
- it in private email. Please don't waste bandwidth with "me
- toos."
-
- 8. When quoting back someone else's post, please quote no
- more than four lines per comment. Common netiquette dictates
- that quoting back an entire post just to add a line or two
- at the
- end is extremely inconsiderate and annoying. If you have
- something to add, then please do, but we saw the original
- post,
- so there is no need to see it again.
-
- 9. Signature files. Many people have .sigs. Please keep
- your .sig to a maximum of six lines. (For the same reasons
- as the "me too" and quote length rules.)
-
- 10. Fanfiction is not only welcomed, it's encouraged.
- However, please be sure to keep any and all fic within the
- ratings parameters of the list. Also please restrict
- posting of
- fic to the Kevin & Lucy list to fic pertaining primarily (not
- only, by any strech of the imagination) to the caharacters of
- Kevin and Lucy. For the GH/PC list, fic is welcome for any
- characters, past or present.
-
- 11. Messages posted to the lists are intended for the
- members
- of the list community. They are not to be
- shared/send/forwarded
- elsewhere without the authors express written permission.
-
- 12. And last, but not least, we reserve the right to deny
- subscription (new, renewed, or continued) to the list
- for any individual(s).
-
- Again, welcome! If you have any questions about these
- rules, please contact either one of us offlist. If you
- have subscription problems or questions, the fastest
- way to get help is to e-mail the listowner address
- <taiyin@xmission.com>.
-
- Enjoy!

- Actually, I don't think it would bother me, as long as it was an unknown.
- Does that make sense? I wouldn't want to see an actress I'd seen in

- Becky rocks. That was the annoying thing about her from the beginning:
- Rebecca could act, they just gave her a stupid, annoying and disgusting
- storyline (unlike her "sister" -- who has exactly the opposite problem).
- Since a couple of days before Lizzie was attacked, though, she's been

- nightmare.
-
- Especially now that he knows Nikolas is the one who told -- I can't imagine

-
- the whole matt being mancusi's brother was a nice nanosecond of drama,

- and while i like matt as a character, and ellen as a character, i'm
- finding that's not enough to get me invested in this story. although i
- AM liking mike finally having something to do...
-
- the whole karen/joe/jake/ferret thing, and the whole frank/julie/lark
- thing, are both playing out like bad sitcom episodes, which is NOT what

-
- chris ramsey is another of the notorious pc villains where his actions

- Well, there are conflicting reports. Over on K&L it was posted that SOD

- been INCREDIBLE. Well, at least PARTS of GH have been incredible.
-
- I do think, though, that the head writer of each show has very, very
- different strengths and I think those are becoming more and more obvious.
- I think Guza knows zilch about romance. I think he proved it last time he
- was there (Tom and Felicia <shudder>) and he's doing it again (a TOTAL lack
- of romantic ANYTHING on the show -- Jax and Brenda and Kat and Bat being
- the only painful exceptions).
-
- I think Lynn Latham likes the relationship stuff much more than the plot
- stuff, which is probably why she seems to be having trouble creating
- complex villians -- they are no more than a means to an end for her. I
- *love* the way she writes the character interaction -- K&L (though she has
- Scott in the middle of that FAR too much for my liking), Kevin and Scott,
- Scott and Eve, Frank and Joe, Chris and Eve (thoguh not in too long for my
- taste), Kevin and Eve, Lucy and Scott (well, them less than the others),
- and I think she did a GREAT job with Luke's crossover, etc.
-
- I also think she is doing the one thing that PC's headwriter SHOULD have
- been doing from day one: mixing up the characters so they actually
- interact. Yesterday they brought Scott into the mix with Matt, Grace,
- Ellen and Mike. THANK YOU! They've had all these characters off doing
- their own thing (a Culliton trademark) and not interacting at ALL.
-
- >anybody else starting to feel like the show could use some help? or
- >maybe it's just me! :)
-
- I think both of them could, actually. In very diffeerent ways, though.
- And I think the sheer impact of the past few days with the Spencer
- storyline has not only over-shadowed PC (which is in a down phase in many
- ways at the moment), but it's also masked the weak parts of GH itself
- (Tess/Mac/Felicia, Brenda/Jax, lack of V, Robin's sanctimoniousness, etc.).
- I think after a few days of REALLY annoying people, PC might start looking
- better. ;-)
-
- Just MHO, of course.

- Well, there are conflicting reports. Over on K&L it was posted that SOD
- and SOW are reporting that Lynn is just moving BACK to GH because she
- doesn't want as much frontburner time as she's been getting on PC.
-
- I must've missed that part about Lynn moving permanently back to GH. But

- practically everyday. And by chance does anyone know which show Lynn is

-

-
- you'll get no argument from me there! that scene
- yesterday wtih kat and bat?!? not the one in bed,
- because i found that one kind of amusing (of course,
- that's only because i was DESPERATELY hoping stefan
- would half-emerge from his dream, when kat touched
- him, and lovingly murmur, "lasha..."!), but the one
- at the end, against the wall? talk about NO chemistry.
- i think even nik and sarah did better than that...
- (does anyone know--did then have chemistry as patch
- and kayla on dool? 'cause i just can't see it! :)
-
- and don't even get me started on brenda. delusional
- is the only word that even comes CLOSE. y'know how i
- firmly believe sonny's character was irreparably damaged
- by the way he was written out? well i think this latest
- win-jax-over plot is doing the same thing to brenda. ugh.
-
- so no...gh is hardly PERFECT these days! but like i said,
- with an hour show, i think they have a little more leeway.

-
- i'm with you there. but gh somehow (under MOST writers--
- obviously not culliton!) seems to manage to strike a better
- balance than pc is currently doing, i think. gh, in its
- historically good periods, has done an AMAZING job of
- creating these fantastic, complex, multi-dimensional
- characters, and then getting them involved in exciting,
- edge-of-your-seat, what's-going-to-happen-next plots.
- with pc...<yawn>. i mean, the character interaction is
- great, like you said. but the plots are laughable. did
- anyone think for a second that lucy would die? or that
- rex would get to raise serena? or does anyone think there's
- a chance in hell that bobby will end up killing matt?
- there's no room for surprise when the plots are so
- simplistic (with the exception of matt's announcement,
- as noted earlier). and without surprise, without any
- i-wonder-what's-going-to-happen, without any sense
- that the unexpected COULD ever happen...it's just not
- as interesting to me.
-
- on the other hand, there's gh. if it weren't for the
- rampant spoilers...i would have NEVER been able to
- predict tony going off the deep end and kidnapping
- michael (and the upcoming one which i'm sure we've
- all heard about--that's even MORE of a shock!), or
- that they would actually do this luke/lucky/rape thing,
- or, going back a way, that they would make much-beloved
- robin hiv+, or kill off little b.j. i'm beginning to
- understand what guza meant when he said gh had to
- be "larger than life", except the word i would use
- instead would be "wildly unpredictable." and yet
- they (USUALLY) manage to do it WITHOUT sacrificing
- the character development and interaction which is
- so crucial to the soap opera genre.
-
- >I also think she is doing the one thing that PC's headwriter SHOULD

-
- i agree that that's been going MUCH better lately.
- i mean, my god...we finally got to SEE ellen's

- than the hospital. and it's great to get the non-
- hospital crowd (mike/scotty/kevin/lucy) involved
- with the intern crowd as well.

- true. if i get more of ANYTHING you mentioned,
- and less of the spencer meltdown or carly (who
- i'm REALLY beginning to feel sorry for--can you
- BELIEVE it?!? guza's a god...), i'll be bitching
- about gh soon enough too! and i do think pc has
- managed to do some amazing stuff for a show that's
- still less than a year old (the miscarraige and
- lucy's near-death, primarily. but the early
- karen/joe stuff, and the matt/ellen (before this
- latest go-round) both had promise too) i guess
- now that a very few plots on gh are reminding me
- of what soaps are SUPPOSED to be (speaking of which,
- did anyone see the latest gh promo? it had a brief
- flash of bj's death. TALK ABOUT DRAMA!!!), i'm
- just getting antsy and losing patience with
- anything less than that. ah, the horror of creating
- high expectations...you have to keep living up to them!

- SONNY COMES HOME
-
- Major cast returns to General Hospital are in the works:
-
- MAURICE BENARD will reprise his role as Sonny in what is described as a
- "limited run." He'll return in May. Soap Opera Digest (3-31-98) warns
- the S&Believers not to get their hopes up that Sonny and Brenda will
- reunite.
-
- Also expected, but not set in ink, is the reappearance of GENIE
- FRANCIS (Laura) in the near future. Francis is still under contract to
- the soap, but has been on a leave of absence since the birth of her
- second child last year. Laura's return would add major dimensions to the
- current storyline regarding her 1979 rape by Luke. GH fans impatiently
- await her arrival.

- Subject: GH/PC: playing catch-up...
- Date: 25 Mar 1998 09:43:38 PST
-
- ok, it's been RIDICULOUSLY quiet around here, but i too have an
- excuse...i just last night caught up on thursday, friday, monday, and
- tuesday's episodes of pc and gh. (and all i can say is, i'm glad i
- watched them all at once, because there were too many annoying
- cliffhangers that i didn't have to suffer through! :)
-
- so, some thoughts/comments/impressions:
-
- first of all...was there a major backtracking between the end of
- friday's ep of p.c. and the beginning of monday's? friday we had that
- great ambiguous gunshot (which we all knew wouldn't hit matt)--mon. we
- started with some scenes from BEFORE that which we had never seen
- before? or am i losing my mind. all i could think of was kathy bates
- in "misery," when she's describing the cliffhangers she hated as a kid,
- where they would go back and have the hero jump out of the falling car
- at the last second, when the previous episode had very clearly shown him
- in free-fall. she said it was cheating, and i'd tend to agree.
-
- second, and i can't believe this one...but i THINK i'm kind of LIKING
- lark and jake?!? i know, i know...she's a kid...it's sick...but i'm
- just so GRATEFUL that we have her doing something other than her pouting
- put-upon child routine, that i just don't even CARE! sad, huh? i do
- feel bad for jake though, because when he finds out the truth...well,
- let's just say he's having a very bad year.
-
- bobby's dead. thank god. 'nuff said. can we move on now?
-
- and speaking of death--i feel horrible about this, but i really found
- myself hoping they'd kill off grace. i'm sorry, but she's too good for
- words. she's a martyr if i ever met one. a lot like beth in "little
- women." besides, she's in the way of matt and ellen! :)
-
- and chris...he deserves some SERIOUS payback over this one. i'm glad
- he's finally feeling a tad guilty--but that's not good enough for me!
-
- as for gh...
-
- wow. i read the spoilers, but i didn't really believe it. tony kidnaps
- ROBIN?!? are we SURE they're not writing tony's character off the show?
- i know he said in his tv guide interview that he's been assured he's not
- being fired--but i'm not sure they can EVER redeem all of this. besides
- that though, i'm finding the whole story kind of unrealistic. first of
- all, robin put up NO fight whatsoever. i realize she's a bit of a
- midget, but she could have at LEAST tried to kick him or hit him or knee
- him or SOMETHING. *i* would've... but beyond that--are we to believe
- that every citizen of port charles carries a cell phone (so much so that
- someone--i forget who--actually used it IN HIS/HER OWN HOUSE during one
- of the past 4 eps), but robin doesn't have one when she needs it? i'm
- disappointed all around--i really thought the daughter of robert and
- anna would've been a little more resourceful. she hasn't even TRIED to
- find a way out.
-
- the lucky/helena and luke/lizzie scenes...LOVED them! this story just
- gets better and better.
-
- bobbie/carly scenes...loving that too! oh my...when bobbie realizes
- that carly was right all along, and it WAS tony who took michael...
-
- jax and brenda...sigh. at least this robin kidnapping is shaking up
- their story a tad (and bringing v back, too!) that's about the best i
- can say for those two. this wooing business is really making me ill.
-
- question--when aj was tearing into ned for going away on business while
- michael's still missing, WHY didn't monica or edward speak up and
- mention that they practically had to FORCE him to go? or did i IMAGINE
- that scene... (not that i'm usually on ned's side, but aj's been as
- nasty to him lately as ned always was to aj, and i don't like it any
- better when aj's doing it than i did when ned was.)
-
- and i LOVED jason's bodyguards! considering what his men USUALLY look
- like, i find it kind of funny that he would choose the most disreputable
- looking men he could find to guard emily and lila. and i loved em's
- reaction to them!
-
- hmmm...anything else? can't think of more right now, but i'm sure i
- will as soon as i hit "send." but that's probably MORE than enough for
- now. come on guys...SOMEBODY must have SOMETHING to say! :)

-
- that's all i want. i'm not sure it's possible either, but i'd at least
- like to see them try. you can't tell me that, for example, robin would
- be missing, presumably (for all jason knows) at the hands of one of
- these mob guys, and sonny WOULDN'T come back. or at least talk to
- jason, if he couldn't come back publicly. not that i think this is why
- he would come back in may (PLEASE tell me this kidnapping won't last
- until MAY?!?), but i'd really, more than anything else, like him to
- clear the air with brenda, because i don't think she can move on at ALL
- until he does. and because i'm STILL pissed at the damage done to his
- character with that departure.
- >And this "limited run" stuff isn't much better -- though at least
- >maybe they can put an end to the Sonny-bashing.
-
- well yeah, that doesn't thrill me either. HOWEVER (and let me put on my
- pollyanna face here), he was originally HIRED (way back when) for a
- limited run, but got so popular that he stuck around. so.....well, who
- knows. all i can say is that first, i havent' seen him doing much else
- since he left, and second, i don't really care HOW limited it is, i just
- want him BACK!!! :) besides, in addition to the whole brenda thing,
- LUKE could really use him about now. as could jason. and robin. and

- I was wondering about the cell phone myself...I could have sworn that
- she carries one. The only reason I can think of for her not fighting
- is to stay for Micheal's sake. Maybe she was afraid that Tony would
- disappear with the baby if she got away and Jason would never find
- them. BTW....I think it is really creepy the way Tony keeps asking
- about Micheal to Alan and Carly, not to mention the fact that he was

- In general SOD is the best of all of them. They have flubbed a few in the

- ABC/Wendy Riche changing their minds after they sent the mags the spoiler

- It can't because Robin gets sick. Non-HIV related pneumonia and she goes

-
- LOL!! Keep tryin, babe! He was originally hired as a limited run because

- when something is public record like that, and you are living in the same
- town where it happened, Luke had no right to let someone else tell Lucky
- that first. He had an obligation to be the one to tell him.
-
-
- Yeah, Lucky would have been hurt and angry and disillusioned, but he's
- right, the way this played out makes Luke look like an amazing hypocrite.
- He basically breeds Lucky from birth to hate the Cassadines. And then
- he either specifically or implicitly says that Nikolas was a child of
- rape, and folds that into the deck of hatred he and Lucky have stored up
- for the Cassadine men.
-
-
- So far the only thing I can blame Lucky for is the fact that he went to

- i'm not exactly sure what question you're asking--how he ended up at the
- cabin, how he knew to go there, or what happened on friday--so here's
- what i know...
-
- on thurs. he finally talked to brenda, who remembered robin saying

- day she disappeared. he went to spoon island and, despite stefan's best
- attempts, spoke to nik, and learned that they had seen tony that day,
- and that robin had subsequently realized she knew something she could do
- to help jason find michael. jason concluded from this that robin knew
- tony had michael, and went to the cabin to find them. (he knew about
- that because they had been there before with the police). he got there,
- found robin and michael, and before they could leave was confronted by
- tony who pulled a rifle on him. jason managed to distract him long
- enough to get the gun away, and was about to pulverize him when st.
- robin interceded on tony's behalf. he then had his guys tie tony up and
- stay with him until the cops came, while he rushed robin to the
- hospital, after making clear to tony that if she died, he wouldn't live
- much longer.
-
- hope that helps!

-
- ok, here goes. i REALLY can't take much more of this:
-
-
- The following is from Soaps In Depth's March 31, 1998 issue, an article
- on Sonny's possible return and Vanessa's interview in which she
- discusses whether she will stay or leave the show.
-
-
-
-
- Is Sonny Returning??
-
- Soaps In Depth has learned that, at press time, contrary to the
- popular rumor making the rounds, no deal has been struck for Maurice
- Benard to return to the show for a short time. Despite the fact that an
- ABC spokesperson had no comment, viewers shouldnÆt be surprised if
- Benard does wind up reprising his role as the brooding crime boss
- sometime during May sweeps. ôI would come back in a second.ö ôEven if I
- was doing other stuff, I would still want to do GH.ö The actorÆs GH
- co-stars are game, ôNothing is finer than working with Maurice Benard,ö
- says leading lady Vanessa Marcil. ôI definitely would go upstairs and
- talk to the producers and make sure that we would be working together in
- some way if he came back.ö Even BenardÆs on screen rival Ingo Rademacher
- hopes that Sonny returns. ôThat would be good
- for the storyline.ö the actor notes.
-
-
- VanessaÆs Interview: At A Crossroads, movie offers are pouring in but
- that doesnÆt mean that Vanessa Marcil soon will be walking out.
-
- Vanessa Marcil didnÆt always live like a superstar. In fact, it
- wasnÆt too long ago that the actress was a free-wheeling bachelorette,
- sleeping on a matters in a room with three other girls, all of them just
- trying to get by. It wasnÆt a pretty existence, but, she recalls, it
- certainly was simple. ôMy friends and I would go buy a bag of potatoes
- and just figure out ways to make them.ö she says. We were just kids,
- hanging out, living dirty and cheap. I used to laugh,ö she continues,
- ôbecause yeah, I was on TV, and the girl at the grocery store wanted my
- autograph, but I couldnÆt pay my phone bill. Bet she didnÆt know that!
-
- Cut to 1998: Six years after joining GH and striking gold as Port
- Charles ingenue Brenda Barrett, Marcil finally has a bed with a frame,
- and she can hire someone to mash her potatoes, never mind keep Ma Bell
- off her back. But the actressÆ awesome popularity hasnÆt swelled her
- head to the point where she has lost sight of her meager beginnings.
- ôWhat people donÆt know is that for the first few years on a show like
- this, you donÆt make that much money,ö she says. People think that
- youÆre rich but youÆre not.
-
- ôBut, ô she adds quickly, ôIÆm glad that I started like that
- because it kept me really humble and grateful for everything. ôI got a
- new car for the first time last year. ItÆs a BMW convertible, and itÆs a
- dream come true. I walk backwards and look at it because I canÆt believe
- that itÆs really my car, and I bought it and itÆs new.ö
-
- A Legend In Her Own Time
-
- ItÆs not like Marcil hasnÆt earned the trappings of fame. In her GH
- tenure she has worked hard to make a name for herself as one of
- soapdomÆs most gifted actresses, and to transform Brenda from a spoiled
- little rich brat into one of the genreÆs most multidimensional young
- heroines. And in the on-screen romance department her success is
- unparalleled. She clicked - and clicked big - with three leading men:
- Antonio Sabato Jr., Maurice Benard and Ingo Rademacher. Head writer Bob
- Guza explains her appeal as a leading lady thusly: ôShe has an extremely
- unique capacity to project simultaneously strength and
- vulnerability,ö he says. ôSo even when you see her collapsing, you see a
- strong woman collapsing. When sheÆs giving herself, you see a strong
- independent woman giving herself. ThatÆs very hard to find, and she does
- it. I think thatÆs the key to making those romances work. ItÆs Marcils
- winning combination of spirit and fragility that led Guza to hand her
- the most demanding storyline to date: BrendaÆs recent mental
- breakdown following her wedding-day abandonment by Sonny. Prior to
- filming the first scene Marcil told SID in November she was concerned
- she wouldnÆt be able to accomplish the daunting task at hand. ôIÆm
- always afraid I canÆt do stuff before I do it.ö Now in her first
- full-length interview since Brenda took hold of a tripod and threw Port
- Charles into a tailspin the actress, who recently won her second Daytime
- Emmy Award nomination admits that her insecurity has given way to
- newfound confidence in her abilities. ôIt was definitely the most
- challenging storyline that I have ever done.ö ôAnd it was the most
- satisfying, too. I really got to every place that I wanted to
- (emotionally) - places that I was afraid that I might not be able to get
- to. ôIÆm glad it didnÆt go on too long though, because it kind of took
- itÆs toll on me, ô she continues. ôPeople might have a good cry one day
- out of every six months and you feel so exhausted afterwards. ItÆs like
- somebody has beaten you up. So doing that every day is really draining.
- ôIt was a very irritable time for me,ö she admits. ôI havenÆt quite
- mastered how to give 100 percent one second and then five minutes later
- go back to normal life mode.ö
-
- ThereÆs nothing to fear....
-
- Although MarcilÆs GH work sometimes puts her through the wringer,
- she wouldnÆt have it any other way. In fact sheÆs so devoted to the soap
- that when she is called upon to turn on the water works, the worst case
- scenario she conjures up invariably involves the show. ôIf I have an
- emotional scene, IÆll sit there and imagine that itÆs my last day on GH,
- and IÆll be a wreck,ö she reveals. ôThatÆs how I make myself cry.
- ThatÆs how much this show has meant to me. To MarcilÆs horror, such an
- exit scenario almost played itself out last August when she nearly
- followed Benard and Sonny out of Port Charles for good. But at the last
- minute, the actress opted to resign (reportedly for a year) despite the
- fact that Hollywood was beckoning. After she played Nicolas CageÆs
- girlfriend in 1996Æs box-office smash The Rock her career was like a
- train gaining momentum, and her agents were anxious for her to jump
- aboard. ôFor the last year and a half, IÆve been sabotaging my career
- outside of GH,ö she concedes. ôAfter The Rock, there were a lot of
- things I got offered I turned down.ö Even Benard was sure his on-screen
- amour was going to shove off. ôIt surprised me that she stay, ô he said
- in August. ôWith everything that sheÆs got going for her, she should
- go.ö So what convinced HollywoodÆs Next Big Thing to keep her day job?
- ôI just wanted to be challenged in my acting, and as long as theyÆre
- doing that here, I donÆt really care about becoming a big star. That
- might be hard to believe for some people.ö Like for instance her agents.
- They nearly dropped her as a client after she re-upped with GH, she
- says. ôThey think that I could be this big movie star if I wanted to. I
- would literally cancel huge auditions for huge movies because I had 20
- important scenes the next day on GH. My agentÆs like, ôThis is a movie!ö
- And I would just go, ôYeah but you know what ? IÆm on four scenes in
- that movie, and I could do them in my sleep. TheyÆre not even a
- challenge. The stuff on GH that IÆm doing tomorrow is so great! And my
- agentÆs like, ôYouÆre so weird.ö But I donÆt care if they think IÆm
- crazy for loving this show.ö
-
- Love On The Set
-
- MarcilÆs fondness for one particular co-star may be partly to blame
- for her anxiety about possibly separating from GH. Her one-year plus
- relationship with now fiancΘÆ Tyler Christopher certainly makes
- her commute to work more enjoyable and soon, the two will begin spending
- more time on screen together as well. ôWe will be working together
- more.ö Marcil reveals. To date, Brenda and Nikolas have
- only had one scene together - last December, when she visited the
- wounded lad in the hospital. They might have more scenes together and
- even a storyline, had she not clicked with Rademacher, Marcil
- suggests. ôI believe that if Brenda and Jax hadnÆt been such a smash hit
- that the writers definitely would have liked to have had Brenda and
- Nikolas become romantically involved. As it is, the actors real life
- relationship is chronicled much as a soap plot. Each week, a new rumor
- is born, and courtesy of the Internet, spreads faster than a California
- brush fire. For instance when the couple postponed their winter wedding
- until spring, speculation intensified that their romance was on the
- rocks. The latest idle chatter had it that Marcil and Christopher were
- feuding with Rademacher and one time girlfriend Rebecca Herbst. ôI heard
- that I broke up with Tyler, and he and Ingo got into a fist fight in the
- parking lot, and Wendy Riche set up BeckyÆs and my schedules so that
- weÆre not working at the same time,ö sayÆs Marcil. ôItÆs hysterical. Our
- lives are so boring that I guess itÆs disappointing to people.ö ôFor the
- record,ö she adds, ôIngo and I have never for one second been
- romantically involved with each other. I mean, not for one second, in
- real life, outside of GH. WeÆre great friends, but itÆs not like we even
- hung out before I got together with Tyler.ö Also for the record, Marcil
- and Christopher still are happily
- engaged, and recently purchased a house together in Hollywood Hills. As
- for their wedding it will happen when it happens. ôThe reality is that
- we truly want a great honeymoon, says the bride-to-be. ôItÆs hard
- with our acting schedules to both get two weeks off at the same time.ö
-
-
- None of Your Beeswax
-
- The fact that everything about Marcil is noticed and even debated
- in public is not lost on her - although she wishes it was. ôItÆs
- actually my biggest problem in acting, ô she sighs. ôItÆs a very odd
- thing to have that many people look at you and judge you, and I donÆt
- like it. I donÆt know how anyone can handle that. It makes me want to
- hide.ö The scrutiny likely will get worse. if Marcil becomes the big
- deal everyone predicts she will, she and Tyler could wind up being the
- next Demi and Bruce. That reality may prompt Marcil to keep her star
- from rising any higher. ôI donÆt know if I want to not be able to take
- my kids to Disneyland,ö she offers, ôI donÆt know if I want my kids to
- have to see me on the cover of all those trash magazines saying these
- horrible things. If I want to gain 20 pounds, I donÆt want to be called
- a fat cow in Star magazine. ôMy dreams are that I want to have a family;
- I want to have what I never had as a little girl. Being a movie star...I
- donÆt know if I want that.
-
-
- Decision Time
-
- When her GH contract expires this summer Marcil will once again
- have to answer that very question : Does she want to make movies, or
- does she want to stick with what she considers to be the best job in
- the world? ôIÆm kind of in the same position that I was in last year.ö
- she says. ôI have a development deal with ABC like I had last year,
- which means they pay me a certain amount to go out on their pilots. So
- if I do a pilot this year that gets picked up I have to do it. Even if I
- wanted to stay here I couldnÆt. ôIf it happens, it will probably be the
- most devastating thing IÆve ever gone through. But I also know you canÆt
- stagnate yourself.ö If Marcil does indeed depart this summer she will
- have a tough time finding a part thatÆs as rewarding as Brenda, and she
- is acutely aware of it. ôMy worst fear is that IÆll leave to do a
- primetime show because thatÆs the thing to do - thatÆs the so-called
- more respectable place to go - and IÆll make more money and all that,ö
- she says ôand I wonÆt be as happy as I am here. In that case I would
- come back. For me itÆs all about being happy with the work I did that
- day when I get into bed that night. ôItÆs really not going to matter
- whether or not I get a lot of money,ö she concludes. ôIn the end, all I
- really need is a place to live, people I love, and a bag of potatoes.ö
-
-
- Other Side Articles that accompany the Interview
-
- The Men In BrendaÆs Life
-
- Having had the good fortune to work with two of daytimeÆs hottest
- leading men, Vanessa Marcil is the envy of her peers - and donÆt think
- she doesnÆt know it. ôItÆs hard not to look at either of them in a scene
- and truly feel like youÆre not in love with them, ô she says, ôTheyÆre
- both extraordinary.ö But the guys note, it takes two to tango.
-
- Maurice Benard says - ôVanessa has become such a wonderful actress.
- SheÆs always been a star in her own right, but sheÆs a wonderful actress
- and works hard at it. SheÆs feisty, and weÆre similar in a lot of ways,
- especially as far as thatÆs concerned. So there was always tension
- between us, and that tension made for good acting.ö
-
- Ingo Rademacher says - ôNo matter what the material is like, no
- matter how you look, of your not a good actor, you canÆt pull it off.
- People arenÆt going to be interested because your not believable. So you
- have to bring that to the plate when your an actor, and Vanessa does
- that. She knows her stuff. Whatever they put in front of her, people are
- drawn to her. Some actors your drawn to, others youÆre not. YouÆve got
- to be able to capture an audience and Vanessa does that.ö
-
-
- Who Will Brenda Choose?
-
- Rumors persist that if Vanessa Marcil leaves GH this summer,
- Maurice Benard will return to give Brenda and Sonny a happy ending.
- Headwriter Bob Guza wouldnÆt confirm such a scenario but did reveal that
- regardless of MarcilÆs plans, Brenda will have to make a choice soon.
- ôHer journey has to be to put Sonny behind her - genuinely,ö Guza says.
- ôShe has to get past him to give herself fully to Jax. ThatÆs still to
- be dramatized.ö In other words, nothingÆs over till itÆs over, folks.
-
- Other Random Quotes - included with the pictures in the article.
-
- ôItÆd be cool for Brenda to leave as a character who has never been
- married.ö Vanessa Marcil
- ôBrendaÆs one true love is Sonny.ö Bob Guza
- ôDonÆt get any bright ideaÆs Jax, If I leave I donÆt want it to be with
