How They Fell In Love

Con-man Ryan Lavery was willing to do anything for a dollar. Ryan pulled odd jobs and even donated sperm to make ends meet. Ryan found a stable job at WRCW. When station manager Liza Colby learned that he was receiving private cuts from their advertisement sponsors, she threatened to fire him. That is of course until Ryan agreed to Liza’s plot to protect her nephew, Scott Chandler.

Hungarian princess, Gillian Andrassy, revealed her father had squandered their family fortune. Gillian needed money, desperately. She set out to find the richest, and youngest bachelor Pine Valley had to offer. By New Year’s 1998, that man would be 18 year old Scott Chandler. Gillian knew she could win Scott over with her good looks and passion for sex. But Kelsey Jefferson had her own plans for Scott.

Kelsey and Liza Colby led Gillian to believe that Ryan was a millionaire to lure Gillian away from Scott. Kelsey did not think her plan was working fast enough, so she called immigration on Gillian. Gillian was in the states on a visitor’s visa. If she did not want to be deported, she needed to marry a man. Scott volunteered himself, but Gillian chose Ryan. But...


Ryan: Love changes everything.

Kelsey: You mean, you guys care about each other so much, you don't care that you're broke?

Gillian was shocked to learn that Ryan’s wealth was all a ruse. Ryan learned that Gillian was just as penniless as he. The young couple moved into Wildwind, where the bickering never seemed to end.

After a year, when Gillian’s immigration status was confirmed, Ryan was free to go with a dowry from his own account. Gillian thought Ryan was sticking around because immigration was still investigating them.

At Wildwind, he became good friends with Hayley Vaughan. Gillian found herself jealous over Ryan’s relationship with Hayley Vaughan.

But, Gillian did not want to admit that she was growing very smitten with her new husband. Ryan did not want to admit it, but he too was beginning to like being married to Gillian.

Ryan was accused of the rape of Kit Fisher Montgomery. He was surprised when Gillian decided to go on the run with him. They admitted their love for each other. Derek Frye arrived at the Crystal Ball to arrest Ryan. Hayley helped Gillian and Ryan escape the authorities.

Great OP, it's hilarious that Gillian is kicking Ryan's ass in some of those gifs lol.

canflam 04-17-2022 08:31 PM

Thanks for starting this thread. I saw on YouTube today a yacht party scene that they were in. Do you remember when about that aired?

The Libidiozone party? That occurred during November sweeps, 2000. Full episodes from that are on YT.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...C05C4BC8054567

R&G finally reunited and Ryan bought the boat and decided to name it Princess. I remember Cam saying he adlibbed lines from this. Maybe it was the let's get naked stuff. It's also when Gillian got pregnant.

Basically, David was trying to get Dixie into bed and wanted to use this new drug he created called Libidiozone to drug Tad so he'd sleep with Leslie. It was a drug that made everyone horny. He accidently spilled it in the punch and a bunch of craziness ensued. Opal starting eating everything in sight, Greenlee pushed Laura overboard cause she got jealous of her and Leo, Hayley walked in on a drugged in Mateo in bed with Arlene. Tad slept with Leslie. Gillian slept with both Jake (who had been impotent prior to libidiozone) and Ryan that same night, leading to a who's the daddy story.

Butterfly85 04-17-2022 10:27 PM

^^^Yeah, just another thing showing David's SICK obsession with Dixie and how far he would go. I also remember Hayley choked Arlene and thought she killed her, then Adam threw Arlene overboard to cover it up but she survived of course LMAO.

kayrey 04-17-2022 10:53 PM

Thanks for the new thread. :)

Sometimes I forget how crazy that whole Libidozone story was for everyone. :lol:

canflam 04-18-2022 06:58 PM

It seems so. Well, hopefully David learned a lesson.

BaileyQ 04-18-2022 07:12 PM

I'm reposting this here in the new thread in case anyone missed it before the old one closed. It's from a 1997 magazine I found in a box of my old stuff.

He didn't. He was even willing to go after her son JR to save his own ass, so much for "loving" Dixie.

canflam 04-21-2022 08:56 PM

Yeah. That's too bad. I thought they looked good together.

I was going through some old AMC transcripts, and I had no idea Ryan was having a playground built called Gillian's playground in 2002. Anyone remember what that was about?

Also, Jonathan had a point:

Simone: Oh, come now. You should give Greenlee a chance.

Jonathan: To do what? I mean, she hates me. You know what it is? She's jealous of me.

Simone: Is that why you don't like her? Or is it that no one is good enough for your brother?

Jonathan: No, no. Ryan told me about Gillian. She sounded cool. That's who he should be with. He should never have lost Gillian.

----

And there's this from 2004, where he basically said Gillian was the real thing vs Kendall which was fake

Greenlee: You told me that there's a man out there that will love me back. I can wait. I'm patient. Sort of.

Ryan: I want that for you. Hey, I want it for me. I mean, I didn't believe in it when I was a kid. I didn't expect it, or I didn't want it. And then when you least expect it and you think you're safe --

Greenlee: Gillian.

Ryan: Blindsided by passion, magical, but real, as real as the pain when I lost her.

Greenlee: Too real.

Ryan: Unlike Kendall, where you don't know what's real and what's rigged.

----------------------

I had no idea Ryan had said this about Gillian. Very different compared to how he reacted when he found out Greenlee was pregnant and how he thought it would continue the family curse

Ryan: So Gillian didn't make a mistake marrying me?
Mia: I don't think so.
Ryan: She made me want to be better than I am. And I tried.
Mia: You sound like you didn't make it there.
Ryan: How will I ever know?
Mia: Well, was she happy?
Ryan: I hope.
Mia: Yes or no?
Ryan: Yes, she was happy.
Mia: And that's not enough?
Ryan: It was.
Mia: But?
Ryan: But when Gillian was pregnant, I thought, "here's a chance."
Mia: Of?
Ryan: Of -- I don't know -- ending the family curse or something. I mean, she had so much love inside of her. I thought -- I thought somehow it would erase everything bad that happened in my past. And raising her child would be a new beginning.
Mia: But then she lost the baby?
Ryan: Yes, she did. And the new beginning was gone.

----------------

Also during the July 9, 2001 episode, apparently the Dimitri recast left town with Alex because they got a cryptic call about Gillian and didn't want to upset Ryan anymore cause he was grieving? Did they ever follow up on this?

Butterfly85 04-30-2022 08:23 PM

Wow, I'm shocked to hear about those transcripts. Did those air, cause I always heard Ryan never brought Gillian up again after 2002. Was that written and just cut out? I'm glad Ryan talked about Gillian a little bit, acting like she never existed when she is Ryan's first love and the love of his life is disrespectful bs. I personally don't remember it, but I'm always hearing how Dimitri and Alex left the show saying they heard something about Gillian in Hungary. I don't get why they would drop that bomb with a popular character like Gillian then never follow up on it. Why bother?

tslpsh 05-01-2022 11:29 AM

I have no idea why they threw that cliffhanger in there only to never bring it up again, other than the HW change that happened shortly thereafter. Maybe they forgot. It was the last time we ever saw Dimitri too, until the online version of AMC in 2013 but it was not brought up then either. I think Dimitri was brought up in relation to Alex on GH but I forgot what the circumstances were there.

Yeah they came from transcripts from the show from the tvmegasite website that has a bunch of AMC transcripts from the 2000s. Only the first two are from post 2002.

Gillian was also brought up during the heart transplant story with Kendall and Josh. Ryan called it the worst decision he ever had to make (having to choose to give Gillian's heart to Laura). And during Myrtle's funeral, Ryan had a flashback of Myrtle telling him to tell Gillian he loved her.

There weren't a lot mentions but they were scattered in there.

Also at one point David got in Ryan's face about some sort of face Gillian made when they were in bed together and Ryan punched him out. :eek:

canflam 05-01-2022 01:13 PM

Yeah. He seems violent.

Butterfly85 05-01-2022 01:18 PM

Yeah, maybe it was a head writer change for why it was brought up then dropped. It's just unnecessary and pours salt in the wound to never even bring it up again. I'm shocked Gillian was brought up a few times over the years, I heard she was never brought up.

BaileyQ 05-01-2022 09:16 PM

Thanks for those transcripts. Gillian was brought up more in 2002, but after Ryan came back from his mini hiatus in 2003, it was so rare.

The Dimitri/Alex mystery has always bugged me. I heard they did it to placate fans because there was such outrage after Gillian died. Like it was suppose to give us some hope that Gillian could be alive, even though she was still on the show as a ghost at that point. I also read they were toying with the idea of bringing her back as a twin (again because of the backlash) and that was what the Dimitri phone call was about, but it never happened.

tslpsh 05-01-2022 09:37 PM

What's interesting is that Dimitri was never brought back up again or brought back either. They could of done a whole epic gothic Marrick drama with both their returns. So sounds like from that they were just trying to save face and had no interest in bringing her back, unfortunately.

Here were a couple of others I was talking about

From 1/11/2005

David: Go right ahead. Accuse me all you want, posture. Threaten me until those worthless brains of yours shrivel up and fall out. But you will never get me to apologize for putting my daughter at the head of the line.

Ryan: First, do no harm. That's for suckers, right, Doc? Because you do harm. You do evil. You kept Bianca's baby from her for the same reason that you do everything else -- to stoke your own damn ego. You smash and grab whatever you want, leave some poor innocent slob with the check. And if somebody gets hurt, who cares, because it's not your problem.

David: Hey, in the end, we're all responsible for our own actions, aren't we, Ryan?

Ryan: Oh. So when you blackmailed Gillian into sleeping with you, that was her fault? And when you broke up the entire Martin clan because you wanted Dixie, their fault, not yours? And when you drugged an entire boatload of people because you wanted Tad to cheat on Dixie, whose fault if not yours?

Ethan: He really did all that?

Ryan: You know what, but there was a moment -- there was a moment when I thought the doc here redeemed himself. It was right after Michael Cambias was murdered, and you turned suspicion onto yourself to protect all the Kane women.

David: Yep.

Ryan: But then you crucified Bianca to be Krystal and Babe's hero. You all deserve each other.

David: You know, it's funny, you bringing up Gillian. Did you ever know what she really liked, Ryan? Because when I could make her close her eyes, I could get her to make sounds like -- oh!

[Ryan Punches David]

-------------------------------------------------
1/21/09

Greenlee: It has to work, Ryan. It has to. But what if Kendall's body rejects Josh's heart?

Ryan: Do you honestly think that Kendall would leave her two boys, leave Zach, leave you?

Greenlee: How are you doing? This must bring back memories of Gillian.

Ryan: I'm ok. I'm ok.



Ryan: I'm really sorry about your grandson, Joe.

Joe: Thank you, Ryan. I'm going to try and reach Jeff again. Not the kind of message you want to leave on voice mail.

Ryan: I, um -- I know how hard it must have been for you to give consent to use Josh's heart in the transplant.

Erica: Jilly. I know how much you loved her.

Ryan: I did, I did, I loved her, and it was the hardest decision I probably ever had to make, or one of them, anyway, but Laura lived because of Gillian, and Kendall will live because of Josh and because of you.

Erica: I have to make some kind of cosmic sense out of this insanity. If Josh had to die then it's so that his sister Kendall could live.

Butterfly85 05-01-2022 10:26 PM

A twin? I wonder how that could of been written. I don't really remember how they wrote the Alex and Anne twins thing or how their story started, so I wonder if it would of been written like theirs was. I only remember Alex seemed like a badass spy and all I remember about Anne is how pathetic she was always settling as David's doormat no matter how much he lied to her. I also loved Dimitri and felt weird about the sudden recast at the time, then he left and never came back. I'm so surprised Ryan talked about Gillian cause of the Josh and Kendall heart transplant (I did hear about that nonsense) Like I said, I just remembered Gillian being brought up in 2002 when they were pairing him with Kendall. Gillian was brought up sometimes since Kendall would of been his first real relationship since Gillian passed away.

BaileyQ 05-05-2022 07:58 PM

I don't know how I would've felt about the twin thing if it had happened. On one hand, we would've gotten more Cam & Esta, but on the other hand, she wouldn't have been Gillian.

I like to pretend that Dimitri and Alex leaving suddenly was about Gillian being alive. The whole ghost storyline was her coma dream and David saved her with that Orpheus drug. He did perform the heart surgery, so it could've been someone else's heart.

Butterfly85 05-05-2022 08:10 PM

I wish they would of revealed Gillian was alive when the show ended.

canflam 05-05-2022 09:12 PM

She had died quite a while before then though.

kayrey 05-06-2022 06:23 AM

^True but they had gone longer before bringing other people back before so I don't see why they couldn't there especially with the show ending. :sigh:

Exactly. Dixie was poisoned and died in front of everyone and David saved her. There's no reason Gillian couldn't have also been alive, especially since David did the heart transplant.

Also, Jesse came back 20 years later and he too was shot in the head. Another reason I think Gillian lived is because Jesse lived. If he was alive how was he guiding her in heaven. Again, clearly a coma dream lol.

Butterfly85 05-06-2022 10:51 PM

Dixie died and came back so many times it's a miracle she wasn't a bin of ashes. I always heard Jesse's death was so final and unreversible, so if they can bring him back after all that anyone can come back. They just bring back who they want to based on how they personally feel IMO. I guess the show was so mad at the actress that played Gillian they gave her such a horrific death, so I could never see them reversing it anyway. I wish they would of brought back Edmund, Noah (Crappy offscreen death, but he's still one of my favorite AMC characters that shouldn't be dead in such a laughable way) Julia, and Gillian. Especially Edmund, at least the others kept their dignity when they passed away. They just disrespected the hell out of Edmund (and his relationship with Maria) before they killed him off. Still makes me sick.
