Happy New Year Everyone!  I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays - I sure
did!  I had a wild time looking through some old video tapes of GH (no,
Sucheta, I didn't forget to search for my Robert and Anna episodes ;) )
Man, what a riot!  I found episodes from the fall of 1986 when Robert
came back to PC for the first time to meet Duke and bring down Mr. Big!
I have over 50 tapes in all, and here's some of the storylines I found:

	- The entire Mr. Big escapade... Don't know if I have the stuff
		with Angus and Camillia that came afterwards.
	- Edward, Lila and Jimmy Lee living at Kelly's while Alan faked
		his death to frame Sean and Monica.  He met up with
		Charity Gatlin in Pawtuck.
	- Robin right before her 8th birthday - what a cute kid!  It's
		amazing to see her then and now.
	- A very young Frisco and Felicia, recently married (first time).
	- Edward trying to get Sean to return the $40 million he stole.
	- BJ's birth during the storm.
	- Rick and Ginny Webber - Mike just went to live with Derek.
	- Yank & Jade, Patrick O'Connor, Terry; Bobbie calling off her
		wedding to Jake because she was jealous of Terry and Jake.
	- Lucy publishing 'Lust For Death' and working at the hospital
		in charge of the OR schedules.
	- Stuff with Greta Ingstrom... so I might have stuff when Bobbie
		was paralyzed.
	- I think I have most of the storyline with Dusty and the evil
		Alaina, who Robert and Anna followed to Mt. Rushmore.
		Remember that song '40,000 Stars' or something like that?
	- Some episodes with Ashton, Charlie Prince, Domino, Ariel, Colton,
		and Felicia.  (wasn't someone looking for those?  I'm not
		sure how many I have).
	- Stuff with the original Lucas storyline, Cheryl returning, Shep
		Casey... the last Dawn (probably the three previous ones too).
	- Casey the Alien and Anna being held prisoner by Faison (aka PK
		Sinclair) on Spoon Island.
	- Catherine Delafield and her first fiance.
	- I probably have Robert proposing to Catherine atop the PC Hotel
		(otherwise known as the Woodland Hills Marriott) and hanging
		on the Marriott sign.
	- Jimmy O'Hurlihy trying to kill Robert at Windemere at the Halloween
		party.
	- The return of Tracy.
	- Scenes with the old Ned (man, it's weird to see Kurt Robin McKinney
		now)  I probably have the other AJ, and Decker somewhere too.
	- Lucy luring Alan to the apartment she shared with Scott.
	- Lucy and Alan marrying and splitting up.
	- Edge joining Anna's house-full for Thanksgiving in 1990.
	- Mac showing up, old stuff with the Eckerts - what a rip!  I can't
		believe they really made Tony Geary look like that when he
		first came back!
	- Who killed Nancy Eckert.
	- I have lots of 1991 on tape too - stuff with Harlan and Taub and
		Faison.  Robert and Anna's wedding too.  Remember when Lucy,
		Tracy and Monica got Harlan drunk and put him in a body cast?

This is just some of th glimpses I got as I quickly popped in tapes.  I must
say, I got a real chuckle out of the memories, especially some of the
characters.  Unfortunately, they're not all labeled, so I'm going to try to
put them in chronological order.

I know GH hasn't been too exciting this year (must not have been - I don't
have any video tapes from 1992 :( )  Would anyone be interested in any of
these old storylines?  If so, as I document what I have, I'll post some
'Archives Updates'.  I don't have every single episode, but I have quite a
bit.  I used to save all of the Robert episodes and any others that I happened
to like.  So, you can pretty much follow the storylines.  Let me know what
you think...


Other ramblings:

I think it's great that Randolph Mantooth joined the cast - I've always liked
him.  And so far I'm intrigued with Richard Halifax.  I don't mind if he
turns out to be a bad guy, as long as he's interesting.  And it'd be great if
he stole Holly away from Bill.  I loved it when he told Lucy he wouldn't
waste his money paying her.  I wonder what he has hanging over her to keep
her quiet?

I think Lucy and Marco would make a great comedy team - what a riot.  Those
two would always be in trouble!

I hope Tracy finally gets what she has coming to her and Paul gets custody
of Dylan.  It would kill her if Paul and Jenny got together and got custody
of him.

I'm getting tired of the custody stuff.  Tiff is really wearing thin on me.
I'm starting to lean more and more on Bobbie's side the more rude Tiffany
gets.  I feel really sorry for Sean... if their marriage sustains this, it'll
be a miracle.  But most of all, I feel bad for Lucas.  He's the one that's
going to suffer the most.

I can't believe Julia is falling for Ned!  I think they make a great couple,
but I didn't think she would be so eager to hop in the sack with him when
she can see what a big baby he is and how he's treating his marriage (or lack
thereof).

I'm tired of Dr Stalker too.  That whole investigation is a hoax.  I can't
believe Sean would let them get away with the crummy police work.  It's
so frustrating - Robert never would've let something that blatant happen.
(Especially looking at Robert in his prime in those old video tapes!)
I feel bad for John Reilly - they've turned an Ex-WSB head honcho into
a keystone cop.

I really thought they would've done more with Robin and her first
Christmas without Robert and Anna (yes, I found last years Christmas
stuff too on tape)  The same with Julia and Brenda missing Harlan...

I'm glad Jenny is finally out of the cottage and on her own.  Giver her
spunky spine back!

Well, enough ramblings.... I hope everyone has a healthy and happy new
year!
