ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

As I was typing the story out I kept thinking how much more it would have suited Dorothy, although Jill Larson as always did her best to sell it.

This sounds much more interesting than what we got.
You're right. Gloria Monty did phase out older characters, but over a long period of time, and as you said she did keep people like Ruby and Dan in important parts. GL just went hogwild, while resting everything on Charita Bauer's shoulders. Then when she died, they just shrugged and barely bothered to give her a farewell or replace her role on the canvas (never really tried with the "new" Bauers, and while I think Audrey Peters could have played that type of part, Sarah was confined to Shayne storylines).
An Adam/Elizabeth pairing could have been intriguing, as she would have been drawn to someone safe and protective.

I can't remember if Dalton was fired or if she wanted to leave since Marland didn't know how to write for her. Nor can I remember if I read this next part on this thread or on another thread a few years go, but had the Dobsons stayed on TGL, they were not planning to write out Elizabeth. Allegedly, the Dobsons did plan to reveal Phillip's true parents during the spring or summer of 1980, as they didn't expect Cindy Pickett to renew her contract. They wanted to be certain they still had all the original players on the canvas when they made the big reveal.
From what I recall, Jackie would have been the one to reveal/blurt out that she and Justin were Phillip's biological parents at some Springfield event, in front of both Phillip and everyone else at this event. I don't know if the Dobsons would have killed off Jackie shortly thereafter or have Jackie flee town and eventully come back with a new Jackie. Initially, Alan, Elizabeth, and Justin would be relied upon to carry on the story from this apparent fallout, along with involvement from Hope and Mike. Yes, allegedly Elizabeth and Mike were still the endgame (after Elizabeth would finally divorce Justin to marry Mike).
This is all I can recall. Who knows how true this is? I really would love to know the story projections the Dobsons had in mind going into 1980.

Because Val (not Sonny) is the STAR in Frank's eyes.

VERY. You don't do two different menancing characters on BUFFY that are nothing alike and not know what you are doing.

I just finished this week. I thought it was pretty good. A bit subdued compared to all the action we have gotten recently. Not sure if binging all the episodes helped but I enjoyed it.
I do feel like all these characters just getting accolades and recognition for their greatness is a bit excessive. Now Smitty is up for some award.

ARTICLE: ‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Ranks No. 1 Among Soaps In Women 18-49, ‘General Hospital’ & ‘Beyond The Gates’ Mark Season Highs – RATINGS

BOOM!!!

See what happens when you have A, B, and C stories and then they are decent to good stories that have a build to it WITHOUT the whiplash that Brad likes to give?
