They tried with Leslie with her pairing with Robert Laurence, plus his crazy wife..and it didn't work. Peggy was a reporter and went undercover during the cult story..so she could have worked with Paul in his detective agency

I heard Shannon didn't go to a recent cast trip on OC.. guess this might be why? https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/shannon-storms-beador-daughters-test-positive-for-coronavirus?cid=soc_fb_RHOC_Dish&fbclid=IwAR3IRNNSrQT8cw9zWhHY8Hmxi6h-bqV7-KwsrMDcPKirPKeMC80U-mLTQTE

I recall when they lured back Robert as Josh..there was excitement..and people wondering if the show would do a Harley/Mallet/Josh triangle. But when the actors playing Harley and Mallet opted to leave..the show had to think fast and I believe Tangie was created to give Josh something to do. You could tell Tangie felt shoehorned in. Ironically, by 1995..Tangie finally felt like she fit working at the journal, being friends with Blake...and had a father/daughter like connection to Roger. Too little, too late

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I was watching season 1 of BH..and while they had the Kyle/Camille beef last the whole.season...it didn't leave me exhausted because of the following: - saw more day to day with all the women..even going to events on their own without making it a gathering. -no rehashing of fights in follow up scenes -not everyone went to every event -other events happened (i.e Kim's issues, taylor's marriage, Adrienne 's odd food preparation skills, Camille/Kelsey's marriage ending, and LVP adventures in LA with Cedric). I don't know when that changed for BH

There was an interview with MG after she quit GL citing the lack of growth and strength in Holly was the reason she left. She had hoped to see some more agency in the character post Roger falling off the cliff..but was made more passive. If you saw late 1979 episodes, Holly was more assertive so I can see she thought it would have continued into 1980.

Look into the past - 1975
Search for tomorrow: looks like the seeds of Jennifer/john/Eunice were starting at this point. Peggy o'shea is often under rated. She did good work on Capitol & OLTL in the 80s. Guiding Light: I have a feeling had Lynne Adam's opted not to leave GL...that the Dobson's would have continued with writing Leslie. I'm sending a hint of a Mike/Leslie/Ann triangle in the Feb 1976 synopsis. I like the show is slowly working Rita into the mix with being a friendly ear to Ed, being ambitious at work, while making eyes at Dr Tim Ryan..making Pam jealous. I'm seeing a redemption of Holly is continuing (the original actress playing her was unhappy with the change I recall)..while it appeared at this point that Holly/ed and roger/peggy were the end game couples...and having Christina in the mix would have caused years of complications. Love of Life: a head writer change is evident..it isn't as interesting to read as 1975 was with Labine/Avila & Depriest in charge. The Doctors: I watched the reruns on Retro..candella's stint was boring...Depriest's stint was more interesting, if a little too plot driven.

Love of life...I was kinda bummed that Felicia's stalker was real..cause there seemed to be hints that it might be in her mind..and considering all the backstory..it would have made sense.

ALL: They Almost Became
I'd love to have heard what other roles Sonia had screen tested for...she said she had 8 screen tests..and not all of them were on GL. I didn't know Catherine Hickland auditioned for Julie on Capital when it started and lost the role. Also, that she did a blind audition later for Capital and was shocked after she was cast that it was as Julie.

Denise and Garcelle are the only BH housewives that does. I'm sure Sutton did as well before her ex got involved. One thing I'll give Tamra, shannon, vicki, and Kelly on the OC...they showed almost everything

I would hope this might make Bravo put an edict out that Brandi not be allowed back on the show...especially if she lied thus causing them time and money to redo the 2nd part of the season. Maybe if the franchise went back to the old format with a reduced episode count...maybe the franchise can survive.

Love of life had 3 regimes in 1975..and it maintained it's intriguing content. 1976 is when the show started losing its focus

This shows what happens when bored wealthy women get a platform.

At my old job, I had to work with P & G..no communication amongst departments, strict rules, and only way to reach someone was via IM. And that was just dealing with online review platforms...so I don't trust they would think to stream their soaps. Shame Colgate only produced the Doctors..and no other soaps. They were smart to save most of their episodes.

Maybe they could what Warner Bros did..where if someone orders it..they produce it and ship it...like a DVD on demand format for Forever Fernwood. Seeing Shelley F as the new heavy would be a treat
