I'm kind of glad I missed 85.

I hated that they had Robert find out that Anna set Holly up and yet did NOTHING about it.It doesn't sound like the Robert we know.he would have found a way to get to the truth and expose her for hurting his beloved wife.

I kind of stopped watching, will catch up later I suppose. Am wondering, since a lot of us ended up liking Anna with Duke: if she hadn't wormed her way into RnH's house, worked with Sean, planted the Buddhas ... would we have hated her as much and for as long? What if she was truly sorry about the double agent thing and came back just to expose Sean? At some point in '85, she's telling Robert to go find Holly, she's totally hurt by the way he's toying with her, and my anger shifts -- for a bit -- off of her and on to him. I think THAT's what I have a hard time watching. I have a really hard time watching any of that storyline because I felt both R&H were too out of character. Holly was practically handing her man back to his ex-wife and I really hated that. Because I don't think Holly would have done that. The last break up over the scar? I can't even watch that with out getting angry.....And Robert was SOooo cold and secretive, he just ignored Holly......Plus, R&H barely had any scenes together, and when they did, it left me feeling cold and angry.....And then Robert spent way too much time with Anna....They were definitely replacing Holly with Anna...I was used to Robert and Holly being together all the time..Oddly, I loved all their scenes when they were separated and longing for each other. She was held captive and he was on the train. At least we saw the love between them. As, for Anna, well, I start liking her long before Duke came along. When she showed genuinely concerned for R&H and their relationship my bad feelings toward her slowly disappeared.

I watched the new clips last night and...well... I couldn't sleep Too funny. Yea, I watched them all when I originally got my DVDs (barf!) and haven't watched that time period since. There are a few clips from that time period that I'll watch that I enjoy (like some of those sweet scenes where Robert is trying to woo Holly back after she left him) but for the most part, I avoid them. And this is a person that truly came to like Anna. I shudder when I think of Robert and Anna sharing pizza together at Dinos <shudders>, but mostly I hated that Robert and Holly hardly had any scenes together.

I ended up liking Anna so much that I was pissed in '92 when the writers kept giving her more and more connections with Faison, even though that would have been good for RnH; but '85 Anna? Yeah, still want to kill her ... even though at some point in '85, I know she's not evil, the writers propped her too fast and I was having none of it. Am still not having it.

I don't hate Anna. I hate the way they wrote both Robert and Holly, without their sense of humor and their feeling Especially Holly, I hardly recognize her Now I know why I always hated the Fallons hair

And I forgot ... she smuggled Slater out of the country after he'd shot Tony. How did she not only NOT get busted for anything, but become Chief of Police?!

A lot of nice R&H in the clips I've been watching 156-158... Almost there ... I've picked up the story again, after a year away, and am at 144 right now.

Being on this site, I love not feeling alone and a bit odd, for re-watching old R&H clips on Youtube. Thanks again to the wonderful people who've taken the time to upload them:-) I started watching The Aztec Treasure again yesterday. Finished Prometheus Disk a few days ago. I just hope that R&H can be redeemed.

I love watching old R&H clips on youtube. I have all the R&H scenes on DVDs but sometimes I just want to watch a clip or two. I watched the "Coming Home" scenes from 1985 recently. Tristan and Emma are so good. And as much as I hated the Anna Devane storyline in 1985, it did give us these wonderful scenes. For some reason, "Coming Home part 3" is my favorite.

I loved these, too, and they were such a tease. I think these scenes are why I get so angry with Holly when she freaks out over Anna's missing scar ... we were almost there! I'm up to The Wedding Train playlist now and feeling like it's going to take FOREVER.

I hated 1985 also. R/H were so out of character. I hated Anna, and I still do not care for her that much...even with Duke. It's even difficult for me to trust Anna still. I guess I resented the fact that the writers tried so hard to make her acceptable, and in so doing, went overboard. Let's face it, Anna was, and, can never be, Holly! I am about to tell my age now..LOL! I remember when Joan Collins was once compared to a poor man's Elizabeth Taylor!...Just saying!!

I am one of those who never fully took to Anna. I softened on her a bit when Duke came along, but ughhh, suffering through her romance and marriage to Robert, I could never stand it. I too did not like the idea of a wife that Robert never told Holly about. I hated the way we were introduced to Anna, hated her sabotage of Robert & Holly's marriage. I hated that for so much of that period, we had so few scenes between Tristan and Emma. I was always hopeful that Emma would come back. When they "killed her off" in 87, I remember being so depressed I think Finola has done a terrific job as an actress, breathing life into a really complex character), but....I always felt that Anna Devane was totally manipulative when it came to Robert, including using Robin at several points during their relationship. Oh well, that was probably the only saving grace about Anna, I loved seeing Robin and her father together! The Holly and Robert marriage is magic - that's something that Anna & Robert never had for me as a couple. Camaraderie yes; magic? Not even close. I'll be forever grateful to Gloria Monty for having the genius to a) get Tristan b) insist he keep his real accent c) recognize the magical chemistry that Tristan and Emma had. That couple is by far the most cherished memory that I have of GH! No rewrites or character assassinations will ever change that!
