Whatever. The thing was that they were both born and raised (sorta) in Philadelphia where this TV melodrama was sited. Michael always lived in Philly, either in the project or in a row house with lots of cement and back alley ways. Hope left the project right after WWII and moved to a town north of Philly for a while then returned. Michael and Hope knew each other as did their families when they lived in the project (Hill Creek Project) where many military families waited for their dads to return from duty. Hope was 5 or 6 when she left Hill Creek and Michael was around 11. The re-met at a college mixer and as they say...the rest is history. And the history continues. They are now double-sixes and have been married going on 47 years. Seven grand kids and retired (which means busier than ever with volunteering and community and civic duties) Whew! No longer Thirtysomethings but still going strong. Hope and Michael were on Thirtysomething when they were perhaps Fiftysomething. Whatever.
