Topic: Remember when Harley was the ''Golden Child'' of GL?

After reading all the negative comments about Harley I thought it would be fun to reminisce about the days where Pharley were King and Queen and Beth was the Scarlet Harlot

Arguments abounded, the camps formed, and it was a deliciously bitchy time on this board.  AH!  Memories!

In my quest to catch up, can you sum up the chain of events since those days that has caused Harley to be so reviled?

In my opinion Harley had the single best exit in GL history.

Dashing off into the wild blue yonder with her true love Mallet (the manly Mallet not this lame version they are calling Mallet) after her family and friends threw her an improvised wedding.

Since her return it has all been down hill and the extent of which she has monopolized the show over the years is second only to Reva.

Her exit was prior to my watching GL. The first episode I recall seeing was about the time Reva returned from Amishville. I remember seeing her with Alan in full Amish gear and Annie turning her diaphram into a spinkler to try to trap Josh into a pregnancy. Those were the days! /spicemommy

I'd forgotten how Harley left the show back then. Good memories.

Um, except when she first hit town as Harley Davidson Cooper, one big bundle of abandonment issues and very bad attitudes, not to mention some rather loose morals. Now that was fun Harley, poor Frank had his hands full!

I wasn't watching much in the Phillip days.  I was watching more in the Alan-Michael and Mallet days.   Both of which she was just terrific, and I loved her to death.   I even had my hair cut like hers, when she had that great wedge cut.   She looked SO good in that haircut; she shouldn't ever have changed it!  It's funny, because I always thought she would have been great with Phillip!  Her and Nola!   They were wild!

Wow! Yet another long ago poster now resurfacing.  Must be the moon.  Good to see you back.

Sorry I can't answer your question, spicemommy.  I haven't watched GL in years.  Maybe I can come up with a Harley limerick for ya nonetheless!  What's the limerick pattern again - 6, 5, 5, 6, 5? 

Is a 7, 6, 6, 7, 6 also permissible?

Thanks for the welcome back! Those were such fun times. I wish I still had all the GL parody songs I wrote. My favorite was Josh, Billy and Bill alternating verses to ''Thank God I'm a Lewis Boy'' complete with dancing alligators. As to the limerick thing, see inside: /spicemommy
