frisco & Felicia: an undying love affair

i've written at length about my revisitation of this fictitious couple's narrative arc via YouTube. what's come of it in the last couple of months is this: a handful of new friends who are similarly preoccupied with them and their story, a delightful venture on facebook and wikispaces for enthusiasts who became fans the instant we first saw him seeing her back in '84. now, most of us are 35 + year-olds with interesting lives that include advanced degrees, husbands, children, careers, and yet still there is this thing about them--about us when we first "met" them--that goes on.







so, while our snug group finds its sea legs, we're having a blast, figuring it out as we go along, and commemorating the 25th anniversary of this super duo's first onscreen wedding. we're launching triva contests, tribute compilations, and having a lovely, ongoing conversation about the metanarrative implications of it all.

beyond that, a heartfelt thank you to jack wagner and kristina wagner who, when they were jack wagner and kristina malandro, began to create something seminal, celebration-worthy, and unforgettable for so many.




no other two people could have done what you did to make f&f come off the page. if you ever wonder if the work you did on "General Hospital" mattered--it did. and does.
