I have been watching GH since 1964, and lately it is my ONLY required viewing. Not only do I watch it in the afternoon, but I can watch it (the rerun) at night on cable, the same show the next morning. WHO can get enough of General Hospital? NOT ME!, that is for sure.... and Tracy is refreshing, funny, irresistable in those long Oriental jackets- I make the short version- she wears so elegantly. and her hopeless in love with Luke has become very charming, especially showing up to save him lately. Love ya, love GH, love the show. Keep up the good work, Jane. ps. and your consistency with showing your love for Edward and soft spot for Monica is enduring. The writers are to be commended: from Steve Hardy, to Carly, to Robin & Patrick and adorable Emma, YOU are the BEST!! from Caroline Higgins of NYSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-36588715320354303372010-02-08T08:26:09.253-05:002010-02-08T08:26:09.253-05:00Jane Elliot's performance as Carrie on Guiding...Jane Elliot's performance as Carrie on Guiding Light was the best acting ever done on daytime TV with maybe the exception of Beverly Mc Kinsey...Manhy of the other actresses mentioned are soap "stars" not real actresses and people there IS a big difference!Buck Winthrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271244045843284061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-3675709744060320252010-01-31T17:18:49.463-05:002010-01-31T17:18:49.463-05:00Growing up in the 70's & 80's watching...Growing up in the 70's & 80's watching GL, Jane's Carrie is one of those tragically short lived, yet iconic characters/stories that stays with you for a lifetime.<br /><br />Oh how I miss GL now. Like many of you I too ran home from school to watch it, videotaped it all through college, and this past year dvr-ed it every day for 9 months. *sigh* It’s so great to relive these memories with lists like these, reflecting on all these amazingly talented actresses.

My favorite Tracy moments were on The City. She was superb on that show. The ending, where she becomes a mob boss, is classic. So were the episodes when she hired actors to play her family (the "father" was gay and kept making passes at Randolph Mantooth!)PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097443544359448322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-81685188300758347462010-01-28T17:37:58.583-05:002010-01-28T17:37:58.583-05:00I was the same way with GL in the early 80s.
