Watching GL on youtube and reminiscing...OH BOY!


There were moments I had to always cry out 'What a pack of idiots!' don't get me wrong, I love it and sometimes I hated it. Reva with her ups and downs, Josh is always yelling at the top of his lungs, Cassie with her nosiy ways the famous couple break ups and make ups.

I just wonder though, why was Richard still a Prince? Isn't it a accustom when a king dies, his first heirs; the Prince becomes a king?

Your comment about Josh was funny! Maybe he was hard of hearing. He did yell all the time. :) I am catching up too. Bless the person who invented Youtube.

Im a huuuuuge Roger Thorpe fan. And Im so grateful for youtube. Roger's death scream when he fell off the mountain haunted me for years in my memory, watching it on youtube is just as haunting all over again. When I used to watch GL for Roger, I thought Mike Bauer was such a boring character but now that Im older and wiser, I find Mike pretty cool. Same with Justin. And Hilary the nurse was quite the hottie.
Good times, good time!

I loved Nola. She was fun.

reply

Me too! Nola was great! Even when she was being mean!

how about the wacky maids at Spaulding Mansion. One was played by Allison Janey

Basil: Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

Best character ever. <3

I've been doing the same thing! This was my favorite soap, and I still miss it terribly sometimes. I have to say though, I never liked the changed format, and missed the old sets from the 80s to 90s.
