Ok, here's the first topic.  Remember post about this as if it's really happening, and tell us what you REALLY think!   (Just like we always do!)   Here's the come on, to get you in the mood!

This is my favorite clip ever, so thought I would start with this one.  It's 16 minutes long, and is VERY powerful and moving acting!  I've posted this on the board before, so some of you have seen it.  But I think it's an excellent one to start off with.   We will NOT let Springfield DIE!!!!

I think, for starting off to see how it goes, we should make each post be about different scenes, or themes.  Not sure how this will pan out.  We can tweak this as we go along

I remember the whole Roger/Dinah fiasco like it was last week! 

Did anyone ever stop to think that Dinah was her own grandmother after she married Roger???

Think about it.  Blake was her step-mother; Roger was Blake's father.

It's like that country song, LOL!

    I think Dinah has Reactive Attachment Disorder. And I totally loved GL at this point. Thanks so much for posting this and reminding me how it used to be really good.

  • I hadn't seen that first tribute; was nice! Love Josh and Reva and Billy at the end. I'm so glad they didn't leave Billy out. He was such a huge part of everything to me. Vanessa was blowing me away, how much she and other Dinah (Wendy Moniz) are alike. I guess Vanessa having that hairstyle, which was so much like Dinah's, plus their mannerisms being so much alike, just blows me away! Lillian was beautiful, and Ed looked like a baby, didn't he! Killing her was such a bad thing to do. Cuz we all know she would have gotten over it, after she tortured Ed for a while! fee

    Ok, I can't stand it!    What did ya'll think of Dinah's wedding dress?

  • The dress was pretty, tho the headpiece was a little over the top...then again, so is Blake LOL...and leave it to Vanessa to wear white to her daughter's wedding LOL eom G.
  • Sorry, I meant to say 'so is Dinah' eom
  • That headpiece REALLY pushed it over the top! Too funny! But chickie can actually pull it off! fee
  • She should have used the headpiece to deflect the toxic effects of that drug Roger ended up giving her. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was a made-up soap opera pharmaceutical he gave her to drive her crazy./KB
  • Spaulding Butler} I think the pseudo-drug was called 'lonotrat.'
  • Didn't she like give some of it to him, too, or something? I remember seeing it, but it is REALLY fuzzy!!! fee

    These people were EXTREMELY rude at this wedding!   Somebody needs to slap Blake!   Like when did SHE become the model Springfield person anyway?  And somebody needs to slap Marcus, too.   People are SO judgmental!  That was really a nasty thing to do to Dinah!   fee

    WOW!!!  Dinah and Vanessa!!!   What a GREAT scene!  I feel Dinah's pain SO much!  They just want to blow her pain off, because it makes them feel guilty.  When Vanessa told her that she wasn't going to feel guilty anymore, I thought that was really harsh.  Dinah is hurting so much about not feeling loved, and that's why she acts the way she does.  I mean, I see Vanessa's point too, but really, she can warn Dinah about Roger, but she needs to stop trying to dictate to her.  And that's really exactly how she's doing.   (Nobody ever dictated anything to Vanessa, did they!)  I really get mad about these parents trying to tell their grown kids who they should see and who they shouldn't.  These two actresses are SO good, and SO powerful.

    It REALLY did my heart good to hear Roger the Dodger lay it on the line for Krissie!  I can't even THINK why she was so hellbent on beating him over the head about this.  He was RIGHT!!!  They wanted him to stay away from Holly (the love of his life), and he DID!   NOW they want him to stay away from everyone else, too!   Krissie is being led around by the nose.  It was not right for her to treat her father this way, and I CHEERED when he told her to get out.   How many years did he bend over backwards begging her to love her father.   Sheeesh!  I agree with him that she was acting like a spoiled brat.  (She SURE did look beatiful though, didn't she!) 

    I don't know about the rest of you, but Roger, when he's doing something he believes in, is able to talk me in to just about anything.   He really has a way with him.  Just can't help loving that Roger Thorpe!!!

  • I agree, Fee! Roger could talk me into anything! LOL! And I remember thinking exactly what you said when I first saw this : staying away from Holly wasn't good enough! Great scenes ... thanks for posting! I'll always love Roger Thorpe/Michael Zaslow! eom
  • Thanks, Jacke! I used to watch him, and I thought I was probably the only person in the world who liked him! You know, he was SO terrible! But Roger Thorpe and John Dixon were my heros!!! (My grandmother thought I was AWFUL!!!) fee
