  1. Beverlee McKinsey was a great Alexandra. Loved seeing Harley's 80's get-up.
    I miss GL still.

  2. Thank you for the these posts. Especially, when you have GL, ATWT, AW, EON, LOVE IT. Any SFT? GL was my soap and this brings back memories mostly good. But Daniel P. was the worse Alan. Love seeing Harley & A-M (original) as seniors..ahhh wonderful. Thank You, a fan of your site.

  3. How in the world could you consider posting this ATWT clip?? The Goutman-invented couple of Luke and the doctor was completely senseless and meaningless. Wouldn't watch this clip if you paid me. Worthless!!!
