Couples, characters etc... I am HUGE Bill/Lizzie fan! I run a fansite for them with a few friends. They are the reason that I didn't give up on GL. Adore Reva Shayne. How could you not like her, really? *lol* Billy is awsome And of course, Shayne. I wasn't expecting to like him that much but to my surprise he ended up being one of my top 5 characters!

First of all, welcome aboard, glfan!!!!! Well, Shayne, obviously. ;D I'm loving him and Dinah. But other than him, I LOVE Reva. I prefer her with Josh, but don't mind her and Jeffery. I like Bill and Lizzie together also, but HATE the kidnapping sl. Really I like pretty much everyone except Grady. I wish he would just. go. away. like. yesterday. I also almost like Daisy when she's not propping him. Oh yeah, I'm also excited about Phillip's return next month.

I'm a relative newbie to GL. Obviously, Shayne would be my fave. I find myself enjoying Dinah, Reva, Josh and I'm really liking Remy and Christina. I can't say I dislike anyone - yet.

Thank you Wow, I think I'm going to get along with you just fine! *lol* I'm not really Dinah's biggest fan. I don't like her and Shayne together (the really could change in a second since I am starting to see chemestry between them). Still things seem to fall apart at the hands of Dinah Marler and I was really hoping that Marina and him would get together. I can't stand the Bizzie kidnapping SL either. It's horrible! It started out great but the writers dragged it out waaaayyy too much. It should've been over when Bill rescued her and they should've been happy from that moment on. The car accident and the memory loss is just extra. Reva and Josh- I LOVE! I use to hate Jeffeva but for some reason I don't mind them anymore. Still I am hoping for a Jeva reunion in '09. I hate Grady. I use to like him but stopped when the writers tried to make him into the next Jonathan Randall. Then when he kidnapped Lizzie- that was the last straw for me.

I heard great things about Tom Pelphrey. My cousin LOVED him, but at the time I only watched AMC. It's still confusing sometimes when I hear people on the GL board talk about Jonathan b/c when I hear that name I always think of JB's character Jonathan (Lavery on AMC, that is). I'm still adjusting

Beth, Jonathan Randall will go down in GL history! He is such an amazing character!
The character started out very distant. He was after his family-- Reva especially for giving him up or adoption. She thought that she gave him up to a good home but as it turned out he was horribly abused by his step-dad. So he went after Tammy - his cousin. He slept with her to hurt her (sounds gross I know) but then fell in love with her. The cousin thing will throw you off but they really had one of the most beautiful love stories ever told on the show.
Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan Randall) left in 2007 when Jonathan's love, tammy died and people still are longing for him to come back. He really is very talented! You should look him up on youtube (look for scenes between him and Kim Zimmer). Okay, I'll shut up now *lol*

No need to shutup ...I had a very soft spot for AMC's Jonathan. Yeah, the cousin thing sounds kinda gross, but I can feel the love the GL fans have for TP. Thanks for the background - it sure helps b/c I'm still learning the family trees. I'll definitely have to check out some clips. Have you ever seen Jeff's work before GL?

No, I didn't even know who he was before I found out that GL would be recasting the role of Shayne. But when the word got out--OMG everyone was so excited that Jeff was coming to GL. I was like, "Whats all the fuss about? Is he really that good?" Turns out- he is!

I wish I knew how to upload video clips b/c I have some killer ones on my PC from AMC. As good as he's been on GL, it doesn't even touch some of the scenes on AMC he put out. I wish more of them were on youtube. I'll try to find a few out there for ya...

Shayne of course! I really like him with Dinah. I think they've got some great chemistry. i was expecting to like them but i really do. Bill and Lizzie are my other main reason! They are what helped me get back into this soap last year. I just love them so much! I don't really have any other favorite storylines that i can think of at the moment. But once Edmund and Phillip return, i'm sure i'll be interested in their storylines!

OMG wow! He is good. Thanks for posting!
Just wondering...what was the SL about with the bombs? Is that when he had a brain tumor? Did he actually kill those people?
Oh and just curiouse, what was his fanbase on AMC?

Jonathan is the younger brother of Ryan (Cameron Mathison - the guy in the last 2 clips with JB). Jonathan came to town in '04 basically seeking revenge on his brother for abandoning him and leaving him with an abusive dad who tortured him and an alcoholic mom. Along the way, he hit his girlfriend (he was nominated for an emmy for that s/l, btw), poisoned his brother's wife with anti-psychotics, killed his older brother Braden as well as two others, and kidnapped those girls and kept them in a cave. He blows up the cave and is presumed dead. Of course it being a soap he wasn't really dead - his sister had found him and kept him hidden in Nova Scotia. Eventually, Ryan finds them both, but by then Jonathan is almost fully delusional. At one point he thinks he's 10 and his brother is his father (very powerful stuff). Finally, it's figured out that all the bad stuff he had been doing was fueled by a brain tumor and taking mistakenly prescribed anti-psychotics. Tumor gets taken out and Jonathan suffers brain damage and it takes over a year to get back to normal. The sister getting murdered was in his last year. He had some great scenes in that s/l, too. Sorry to ramble on...I really miss Jonathan on AMC. It was so good when he was so bad ;D People were divided - some really liked the character, but hated the way he was written after the tumor and some carried a massive hate for all things Lavery. Either way, most people liked and respected JB despite the character d/t his acting skills. You're welcome for the clips! Here's the one where he hits his girlfriend (Maggie): www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4GAykv07fM

OMGosh I felt bad for him in that clip. Is that wrong? I don't like that he hit her but his reaction to that was...wow. It seems like he was really scared of what he just did. IDK I felt bad for him. Powerful stuff!
Were they like a supercouple or something?
