RIP to Regis. My family would have Regis and Kathie Lee on for years, just background noise, but Regis could never just be background noise. I tended to prefer the times that classy Joy was with him. Peter Green was a legend. I will post my favorite Mac song of his in the music thread.

Yes.

Maud Adams interview at about 6 minutes, complete with her talking about her NAS character and a few glimpses of filming.

Probably not. Michael Malone did not understand Tina.

I haven't seen any of that in a long time to be honest - I don't really remember when that aspect was written in.

If I remember correctly, the reveal of Lucinda not being Lily's biological mother came during her rivalry with Whit McColl, as she blamed him for her husband Martin's suicide over blackmail involving that secret. I do think it would have still been a surprise to viewers about Iva and Lily. Yvonne was fired by John Valente. I'm glad Yvonne was fond of Marland but I thought even his material for her was poor. That's surprising, as I think she was gone by the time Ben arrived. I remember reading at the time there was no long term story plans for ATWT - maybe it was a last minute firing. So was there any interesting gossip that was hinted at? It sounds like the whole thing was poorly done so I won't be watching.

No, I hadn't. Thanks.

I see that after that washed up con artist Kellyanne shamed Democrats for having a remote convention, as did the GOP in general, they have now mostly ditched their convention. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/23/trump-convention-380996 Meanwhile, Trump is so petty that while nearly 150,000 have died, he paraded around a token (who was not wearing a mask) we were supposed to love because he is a baseball player. Good for you, you're a token who can swing a bat and who worships a hatemonger and a murderer. Yet the media is still more interested in replaying propaganda images in Portland, a "new tone" and whispers about narrowing polls - anything for four more years.

Doesn't he end up falling off a tightrope or something? I remember years and years ago some fans used to list this as one of the show's worst ever stories.

I was just thinking that I wonder if they were confused because the videos were often labeled the same over and over except for one or two elements (many December of (1991, 1992, etc.). Not that that warrants them taking down the channel. It makes me hope some of the other channels might survive but I'm not holding my breath. I hope maybe someday we can have these on some kind of private website, as some soap fans have done over the years.

That makes zero sense. So I guess we will just see more and more channels that post content from old shows disappear. I never really watched a ton of his stuff - I wish I had now. What would be the point of even going to Youtube without old shows? Listening to music...at best. Youtube is really doing its best to chase people away. I have little interest in most of the creator content on Youtube. That wasn't even what made them big in the first place - it was people putting up an SNL film (Lazy Sunday). I guess I should prepare myself for most channels that post any old TV content disappearing.

@DaytimeFan thank you. I can always count on your for an informative response. Great timing from Joan about that sale.

Was there a reason given for Marty West not being there? That was always a bit WTF to me anyway.

There were a number of Cutter pairings that viewers had a positive response to but he wasn't seen as big enough by the show. Mindy was another. I don't remember where my scan is but SOD had an ask the producers feature for all the soaps in summer or fall '94 and JFP was asked about one of the Cutter pairings as well as Alan-Michael and Gilly. Basically just non-answers. I think the show was thrown at there never really being tons of interest in Alan-Michael/Lucy as a pairing. I think Jane fit - she had easy chemistry with Jerry ver Dorn and was able to spar back and forth with the Spaulding Enterprises crew - but Marland wrote way too much for Carrie way too fast. Jane rarely stayed at a soap for long anyway, but with better pacing I think she could have worked on the show.

Yes, Jane was probably the first GL stunt casting, even under similar circumstances to Marcy as she'd been a big part of Marland's GH as Marcy had been to JFP's SB.. The main difference being that Marland had obvious story plans for Jane and gave her a ton to work with.

More talking points from the media. They are working night and day to reelect Trump. I just wish I didn't think it would work.

Thanks for telling us. It will be good to see Olli again (if I ever get to see any of this...).

Definitely had to be an FOJ situation I think. I think there must have been some thin plans for Tangie that were hobbled by many factors - writer turnover, and also the real lack of chemistry between Robert and Marcy. I think they just expected viewers to automatically love Tangie and the rest would go forward. It didn't.

If memory serves, this was an attempt to boost GL's ratings, as Dr. Quinn had made a splash at the start of the year.

Disgusting. And so many believe this too.

Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous piece with Joan (it's the first segment). @DaytimeFan did Joan sell her Beverly Hills mansion that's in this segment?
