's message, "m&m gal, did you tape OLTL today? Did you know it was JDP's last day?" on 12:29:30 10/27/03 Mon
I've been fairly out of commission thanks to part one of my annual sickness funk; this is the one that screws with my head so much that words in type start to do the chicken dance all over the screen by themselves when I try to read/write.
I'm feeling a little more human, but still typing with my eyes closed just in case ;).
Thank you SO much! Thanks to your note (Sue passed it along to me :)) I realized that I accidently had this episode on tape (Sue lets a tape run through it on days when she's out of the house for GH) and was able to save it before she taped over it.
It was so hard to watch...I wanted to see it, but then, a little part of me didn't at the same time so that I could delude myself into thinking he was still on while I wasn't around to see it.
Watching him say goodbye to Max as he did...forced to do so...Max found his way back to 'family' again which was so important. My favorite Max held his children as central to his world, no matter what other con games he was juggling at the time, and I've always missed that, and hoped for a return to that.
I always loved him with Asa and Renee...watching him say goodbye to them was so hard...
I liked the nod to Max and Blair...I was one of those rare beans that saw the dP's real life chemistry in their counterparts...though---don't hate me Blair fans---was a little irked that they wasted any part of his/their goodbye scene on the current Natalie-dude-Walker Walking-Todd/screw up that is Blair's life that will continue on and have its due without wasting Max goodbye time to expand it.
A 'lifetime' of loving Max ran through my mind that day, one that left me wanting to check on the existence of some old favorite tapes of mine...and it all left me broken-hearted at the loss. They haven't used Max as he deserved to be for far, far too long, so maybe there's something freeing about it somewhere in there...but...
By the 'wink and a smile' at the end? I just felt all that love, a little bit of bitter, and a whole lot of sad...
*sniffle*
I don't want him to be over. I don't think Llanview has the right to go on without him. I don't really think it will, in my world.
(And don't even get me started on Nora and Bo referring to themselves as having loved each other a long, long, long, long time ago as they tried to play it up. Bitterness increased. Those were the best of their times as well, so long...long...long ago.)
Oh sniffle...I'm so sad about it all...
But thankful that I could be a part of his final bow...thank you SO much for the heads up, and for the offer of back up if I'd missed it like I would have without it :).
