First I totally agree with you. There is some deep psychological reason people feel justified in spilling the beans. “I know something you don’t know.”
Second GH! I used to watch it growing up… since Luke and Laura days. Haven’t watched in years. It was often on one of the dozens of monitors in the control room at the TV station where I worked and I often caught myself staring at the screen, getting excited every time I would see a familiar face.
