WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17, 2007 EDITION



THE WRITER'S CORNER

THIS WEEK MARKS THE FIRST EDITION OF THE WEEKLY SL INSIDER FEATURE, "THE WRITER'S CORNER." EACH WEEK I, TIM LOWERY (BETTER KNOWN AS PHOENIXRISING05), AND MY FELLOW SALEM LIVES HEAD WRITER, PATRICK L. EWING (BETTER KNOWN AS ROMAN), WILL TAKE TIME OUT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM READERS AND ANYONE ELSE THAT DECIDES TO CHECK OUR FAN FICTION BLOG OUT. WE WILL TAKE TURNS ANSWERING QUESTIONS EACH WEEK. THESE QUESTIONS CAN BE QUESTIONS ABOUT CASTING, WRITING, PAST STORIES, CURRENT STORIES, OR WHATEVER COMES TO MIND REALLY PERTAINING TO SALEM LIVES. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PM US QUESTIONS DURING THE WEEK FOR US TO ANSWER AND ALSO REMEMBER YOU CAN POST QUESTIONS VIA COMMENTING HERE IN THE BLOG. IF WE RECEIVE NO QUESTIONS, ROMAN AND I WILL JUST ANSWER QUESTIONS BASED ON REACTIONS TO EPISODES AND DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE HAD WITH OTHERS. SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, HERE WE GO:

THIS WEEK'S WRITER IN THE HOT SHEET: TIM LOWERY (PHOENIXRISING05)

1.) Has Marlena completely recovered from her personality disorder?

Tim Lowery: No. She is in recovery and, as mentioned in the episodes, she is taking medication and will be seeing Barbara soon. However, she has also put that recovery at risk by putting her family first and she is under an immense level of stress. She has a long way to go and the headaches are still there too. Fans need to be on the lookout because her alters could come back. It's a real possibility. That's not a spoiler. Just a realistic fact.

2.) Is Alan really gone and what was up with that mention of a Midwestern rapist on the loose?

Tim Lowery: Alan is gone and Paul Kersey has been let go. As for the rapist, it was simply a mention but fans will have to keep reading to see if it turns into more.

3.) Where is Philip and Will?

Tim Lowery: Will will be back this week. He will become prominent again. He will be dealing with his personal demons. As for Philip, he will return soon and his story is a slow moving one. He is really in limbo but there is some stuff coming up the pike for him.

4.) Why does Nicole think she has rights to Evan?

Tim Lowery: Nicole sees the fact that Carrie simply gave her son up as enough reason for her to have him since she legally adopted him. It's what she thinks in that world of hers. Nothing more.

5.) Will Sami and Orpheus have more to do in the coming weeks?

Tim Lowery: Yes. We just needed to give her a rest more then anything else and also needed to establish other stories. She will be back on the frontburner where she belongs.

WELL, THAT IS ALL FOR NEXT WEEK. REMEMBER TO PM QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED IN THE WRITER'S CORNER TO ME OR ROMAN BY NEXT FRIDAY AT 8PM EST. ALSO, YOU MAY POST QUESTIONS HERE IN THE BLOG BY COMMENTING. JUST DO IT BEFORE FRIDAY AT 8PM. THANKS AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK IN THE WRITER'S CORNER WHERE ROMAN WILL BE ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS. UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!
