The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
QUIZ TIME!
If you locked Anthony Geary, Maurice Benard and James Marsters on a closed set, who would chew the most scenery in the shortest amount of time?
It's close, but I'm going to go with Maurice Bernard, by a hair.
Jennifer Rose Horton was born on September 11, 1976 to Bill and Laura Horton.
My parents have some serious explaining to do. Bad enough they had teh sex...
Mom has absolutely no explanation. Swears the name was from a soap opera, swears that only my dad watched them and he only watched DooL. Whatever. I think they found me in a cabbage patch. When I was five. And before that I was nameless. In the cabbage patch. Because they never had teh sex
Cass, you know what this means, don't you? You were SORASed!
I'm lost. I watched General Hospital.
i'm a GH girl too, Allyson. though i can't say that i even watch it anymore. it isn't GH now. it's Sonny and the Mob.
That's all right. They're all connected.
- The Adrienne (Days)/Paulina(AW) characters everyone was talking about ended up with a character named Justin Kiriakis, and that actor went on to GH, to play Ned Quartermaine.
- Billy Warlock, who is back on DooL as Frankie, played one of the better versions of A.J. Quartermaine.
- Genie Francis (Laura, of GH's Luke and Laura) played Diana Colville, who was involved with John Black (I think), on DooL, possibly when he thought he was Roman.
- Patch/Steve and Kayla? Stephan Cassidine and Katherine Bell Ashton.
- Matthew Ashford, who plays the one, true Jack on DooL, had a turn as Dr. Tom Hardy on GH.
- Jensen Buchanen, who played Vicki on Another World, also played a nurse on GH for a season or so (imdb says the nurse's name was Melissa Bedford)
- Steve Burton, who has played the one, true Jason Quartermaine/Morgan character on GH, played a character called Harris Michaels on DooL.
- Maree Cheatham, who played Charlene Simpson on GH, played Sister Marie (Horton) on DooL
- For a hattrick+, Denise Alexander who first played Susan Hunter Martin on DooL, and is probably best known for playing Laura's mother--Dr. Lesley Webber on GH, also played Mary McKinnon on AW. As a bonus for Kristen, it appears she was on Sunset Beach, as well.
- Lynn Herring, who plays (played?) Lucy Coe on GH, for years, took a turn on DooL as Lisanne Gardner (I believe a lover of Lawrence Alamain)
yeah. he's been in the witness protection program. yada yada yada. then they paired him with Felicia and i wanted to yak.
I think I stopped watching GH when they were setting up Felicia and Luke. I got so damned tired of Felicia. She was never really all that without either Frisco, or the way extra long soap opera hair. She has that whiny baby voice. Ugh.
Oh! Largo comes through with the Terri Brock backstory! I'd forgotten all about Shaun Cassidy. That was impressive, Largo!
Mason and Julia were fab. Actually, one of my favorites. Snarky.
I must have stopped watching GH when he came on. But Nancy Grahn is one of those actors I'd watch in anything.
Tim should create a soap, or use a bunch of soap actors in his next show. The ones who can act are well-trained. You won't find any problem with them learning their lines. They learn books of dialog per week. If he cast Anthony Geary and Genie Francis, he might be guaranteed a hit, just based on the L/L cult. The demographics, however, might be a little too old, for the networks. Dammit.
To bring it back to one of our 'verses, at least. Emma Caulfield (Anya/BtVS) played Lorraine Miller (friend/enemy of Carly--Bobbi Spenser's daughter) on GH.
Oh, does anyone know if Michael Easton was the actor who played Liam's friend that came out of the pub with him, and promptly passed out on the road, right before Liam went into the alley and was sired by Darla?
I don't see him credited, but it looks like him. Easton played Tanner on DooL, who may have been involved with Eve, and definitely was invovled with Melinda Clarke's (now of The O.C.) character, Faith.
Melinda is the daughter of the original and one, true Mickey Horton, John Clarke, on DooL. Michael Easton went on, either to GH and/or its spin-off, Port Charles, where he played a character named Caleb, who was possibly a vampire. It appears he was on a series called VR.5 with Anthony Stewart Head, as well.
Kitsunegari
Wait, Tim was to blame responsible for the shapeshifting were-fox episode?
Oh! *light bulb* That must be where he first met Diana Scarwid (Karen from WF.) She rocked in that role, although I didn't quite buy Modell's change of heart.
Oh! Largo comes through with the Terri Brock backstory! I'd forgotten all about Shaun Cassidy. That was impressive, Largo!
What can I say? Some people collect comic books....
Speaking of DAYS/GH connections: who is responsible for Luke & Laura (GH), the pre-WGA strike part of the Ice Princess story (GH), Jennifer Horton (DAYS), Roman & Marlena (DAYS), the Salem Strangler (DAYS), and the Brady and DiMera clans (DAYS)? Yep. Pat Falken Smith. And Leah Laiman and Thom Racina (who came up w/ Mikkos Cassadine's weather machine), who wrote the actual nuptials for L&L (GH), also wrote the bulk of the Shane/Kimberly, Patch/Kayla, Bo/Hope, Jack/Jennifer, Roman/Diana, and Justin/Adrienne romances (DAYS).
GL fans detest her, "Ryan's Hope" fans probably spit on her grave, but DAYS and GH fans have a lot to thank PFS for.
ETA: GL fans also detest Sheri Anderson, and she worked on all those stories on DAYS and GH!
They don't really seem to know what to do with Alexis, which is a damn shame.
I really, really like the Ric/Alexis pairing though. they just need to stop fucking with it.
thanks, Cindy! i remembered most of those.
Stephan needs to come back. his rivalry with Luke was so much fun. for that matter, i wish GH would do a time warp and have Sonny and Luke reunite. because that friendship way back when was fabulous. Lucky's alive dammit! reconcile!
my perfect GH scenario is to have Jonathon Jackson come back to the role of Lucky. he was my OTL and no one else has compared. not to mention bring Brenda back and either have her and Sonny stop fighing their love or de-lobotomize Jax and have those two crazy kids work it out.
there could be some fun meta with how much Kelly Monaco and Vanessa Marcil look alike.

Sam's dad, compulsive gambler Cody McCall, owed money to Harlan Barrett. Unable to pay off his debts, however, Cody made the ugly decision to abduct his newborn daughter and give her to Barrett, who in turn handed her over to his unsuspecting wife, whose own daughter had been stillborn. And Barrett's wife named the child...Brenda.
There. Done.
This thread has become really scary.
t backs away slowly
Okay, topic.
Has Tim ever written under the name "Chris Baena"? If so, then I think I've been a fan of his since "Mike Hammer, Private Eye."
Yes.
Whoot. Got long overdue oil change, grocery shopped, cleaned out fridge, cleaned cat box, took out trash, all before 9AM. Go Team Allyson.
