Speaking of General Hospital up until recently I was also a big GH fan but stopped watching because of the loathsome backstage politics and the mob Sonny Corinthos hour BUT... for years GH had a wonderful dark romance between Laura Spencer and Stefan Cassadine worthy of the best of the Dark Shadows gothic romances.

which is the reason why, if you look at this weeks soap ratings, GH has dropped to it's all time low rating of a 3.1.

Second, i belived if the show would have continued during ABC golden age of daytime in the late 70's and early 80's.  Dark Shadows would have become General Hospital and the older cast would have been replace with hip new younger people and have Adventure stories about artifacts.  I think the original appeal would have been lost.

you're right. And look at GH today, it has become a cheap Sopranos knockoff with the mob. We're lucky that the hospital hasnt been blown up because the hospital isnt significant on the soap anymore.

my favorite set is the parallel time room. Its just so beautiful and colorful. I know what my favorite music is but its too hard to describe it so I wont even try.

In the last half of 1970, the ratings dropped badly, which led to it's cancellation.

Which happened because of HODS.

DS's ratings peaked during the 1897 storyline with an average of an 8.4. It went down to a 7.3 during the Leviathan storyline. But it really went down during the 1970 PT storyline. Everything just went bad during the cyrus longworth ordeal when all the main characters left to go make the movie. To me, that was the worst DS episodes ever! The writing got better when everyone was back, but sadly the ratings didnt.

I suggest getting the 1897 sl or 1840.

It's always this way in soap time. . .i mean how many kids went from toddlers to teenagers in just 1 year in serial land? I think the fact that this was actually over a month in "DS airing" time (and fans memories) was used at the time.

Ah, the SORAS epidemic. Soap Opera Re Aging Syndrome!

Current Talk '03 II / Re:What did you think of the interviews?

I loved it. One part that was so interesting was the location shots that they did with Roger driving the car into the woods. Sometimes I wish we still had those in later episodes.

I think Eden Reigel would be great as Vicki.

Elizabeth: Marj Dusay (GL, ex AMC)
Carolyn: Lindsay Mckeon (GL)
Barnabas: Vincent Irizarry (good suggestion All My Shadows)

All My Shadows, ur from the SON board, right?
