Members zanereed Posted March 24, 2017 Members Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm glad more of the 1971 audio recordings are surfacing. It's great to hear Larry Gates in his non-HB Lewis role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zanereed Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 The underrated Roger Newman as Ken Norris. For those who only knew Ken as Holly's crazy brother from 1998-1999 on TGL, this is a good listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 He was also a soap writer, wasn't he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zanereed Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 Correct. Both he and his wife, Fran Myers (Peggy, TGL) wrote for soaps, including TGL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 1, 2017 Members Share Posted April 1, 2017 RIP, Jean. I own her book, Writing for the Soaps, which I find very insightful when it comes to the industry. She'll be missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 2, 2017 Members Share Posted April 2, 2017 Nice! Who do you think were the best writers GL had? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted April 3, 2017 Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 There were some other writers who were very good, but for my money, I would say TGL's best scribes of all time were Irna Phillips and Agnes Nixon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zanereed Posted April 3, 2017 Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 Bridget and Jerome Dobson will always be at the top of my "TGL Best Writers" list. Thanks for keeping up with this and posting these links! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted April 3, 2017 Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) David Kriezman. Never mind. I couldn't even get through those two words without laughing to myself. I think the best overall writing team was the Curlee-led staff of the early 90s. The plots were decent and the scripts crackled with wit and intelligent banter, particularly with a Mulchahey script. In terms of the best actual headwriters, probably Agnes Nixon or the Dobsons. Edited April 3, 2017 by Dan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 3, 2017 Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 Me? I'd have to say Nancy Curlee as that's who I grew up on and was watching as child when I fell in love with GL. Now thanks to YouTube, I love a lot of the material from Dobson and Marland too. Pam Long isn't bad either when she doesn't focus heavily on Reva and the Lewises. You're welcome! Normally @DRW50 posts the links on here before I do, but I happened to see he didn't this time, so I went ahead and did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted April 6, 2017 Members Share Posted April 6, 2017 I was watching a Wheel Of Fortune rerun on GSN from a few of years ago (maybe 13/14) and recognized Suzy Cote from GL as one of the contestants. She was on with her husband and using her married name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
