Man I hated Shell almost as much as Demi Moore on GH.
I also never got Bobby either...she was such a distractingly mannered actress.

Yeah, it's weird that she's not even mentioned. Although she is annoying as hell, so not all that surprising!

Yes, doodle, they are keeping Denise eyeliner-free in order to keep her from becoming the gorgeous hot minx she was in the 70s.

Damn them!

Exactly. They're afraid of her power.

i watched the show for about 10 minutes the day laura woke up. i was struck by how bad the acting was. was it always that bad, or is it just me?

Never as bad as when Demi Moore was on. Richard Simmons seemed to be doing Hamlet compared to her.

Bobbi gets on my last nerve. She's way past that wide-eyed ingenue style of acting of hers.

They're on now! I love seeing them together. Tony hardly ever does publicity!

[RobbO]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:41am

seriously. the acting's bad, y'all.

Doodle, I hated Amy, too, but I think she should come back for the wedding. So should Mikey, Tiffany and Sean! And Scotty, for old times sake, should catch the bouquet again.

And where's Tony Jones? Is he dead?

I liked Demi Moore in her GH days (Jackie Templeton)! How gorgeous was she then? And so was her sister, the other Laura (Janine Turner). Wow!

"thanks, doodle, that's it! i'm glad someone knew what i was talking about. my older coworker was talking about it one day."

Um...did you have to put the word "older" in there?

I'll never do another single thing for you!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:44am

I adore Tony. I can't wait for the special next week!

Tony did die. Damn GH writers!

[RobbO]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:45am

well, since i'm 12, you can be any age older than that that you like, doodle.

"Tony did die."

with his acting, how long was it before anyone in the audience noticed?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:46am

Tony Jones is indeed dead.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:48am

Rath, where the hell did Lucas go? That whole thing just fizzled away.

c'mon, Robb. Why're you raining on our parade?

[blueroses]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:49am

RobbO, I think some of the acting is really good...Tony, Genie, the chick playing Lulu. The writing for thie storyline has been kind of sloppy, though. The way they attempted to tell the "backstory" last week, for example. The scene with Tony and Kimberly M (Robin) was awful ("Now refresh my memory, Luke..."). To be fair, as charismatic and wonderful as Tony Geary is, he's really challenged when working with an actor as sucky as Kim! With Genie, with the actress who plays Tracy...he's fabulous.

Tracy is played by the stunningly wonderful Jane Elliott.

[blueroses]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:52am

She's amazing.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:52am

Yes, I was thrilled when she made her return after many many years away.

[RobbO]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:53am

oh, i'm not raining on the parade. i know there are good actors on the show, but watching it as an adult for the first time in a long time, i was just struck by how bad the acting was. and the writing. and the sets.

even so, gh will always be the only soap opera for me. i just long for the glory days, the ones for which this thread was created.

blue & doodle, you have my back, right?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:56am

blue, I met Demi Moore during that time on a Soap Opera Digest or something tour! We were both 19 years old. She could NOT have been nicer to the fans who lined up to meet her afterward.

[blueroses]

Posted: 11/14/06 at 11:58am

Yeah. I'm enjoying the reunion, but it'll never be the same. The eighties ruled.

When Genie's storyline is over, I'm bailing. I don't really care about the other characters and I don't want to get all caught up in a soap in my thirties, unless it's the nighttime kind (Nip/Tuck, Desperate). Five hours a week of mandatory viewing is just too much for me!

eh? I cant hear ya...I must be going DEEF!

I can barely remember the olden days...I was a mere child when the two Lauras badly acted their way through Port Charles.
