I meant to download these. Damn.

I feel that the storylines should be slower, if they are well-written. Umbrella stories like Bill Bell and Doug Marland did. Even JER. Part of the logic is that people can stop watching for a bit but then easily catch up. I have an interview with Lin Bolen where she said that expanding to an hour, by doubling the scene length, in conjunction with slow baked storytelling, makes it easier for the working mother.

I was under the impression that the Latham's were in control with season 11. The year Val went with the abusive man. Before that season, they weren't in full control. That David Jacobs/Michael Filerman were still in charge.

I have a copy of the bible from UCLA but it didn't mention any of this stuff. Phillip being in love with Allison, for example. Where did you find this one?

Vee, I'm sorry I said all of that.

Anyone?

I don't really see how Nikki and Ashley fit 'damsel in distress'. Nikki wasn't ever soft. Both were stubborn in their own way and, yes, independent. If anything Victor didn't like weak women who couldn't be independent.

Oh, GAWD! You are going to criticize EVERY DAMN LINE he's going to utter, right? He's going to blink a certain why and you're going to be all "JJ needs to retire because he's out of steam". Right? And as you are, I'm sure you are going to be saying that Patrick was brilliant as HW and is sadly missed.

Yeah

This person has been uploading 1988-1991 (and uploaded other full years of OLTL). From this episode, how much longer until Rauch is gone? How soon until we feel a change? Wasn't there a change in the writing before Malone?

Why didn't Sara want Don to know that Amanda Holmes was her daugther? Is there a more detailed summary of that storyline?

Didn't AMC do one in the early 90s?

A long time ago there was a YT video with scenes that both Jess Walton and Brenda Dickson played as Jill. It was called something like "Real Jill vs Fake Jill". Are those clips somewhere in the vault?

I found this on my computer for 12 years ago. It's a Guiding Light spoof of sorts. Various cast members are saluting Irna Phillips at the end. Does anyone know more info about this? It's at the end of the two year period TGL was in LA. Also, does anyone know where I originally found it LOL https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WK5vVlfI82LP2lQUs21lNHec4xnWWqOo/view?usp=sharing

It's a serial. He's only been on for a few episodes. Let it build. There is no point in figuring out there agenda this early. Clearly they are chem testing. Clearly they are developing him. They are seeing how he interact with his characters so we will care about him. Would you prefer it if he and Trina were already hitting the sheets? Because I prefer learning about a character and having a character grow on me before he's in the center of things. And what the hell is a 'generic friendship' lol.

I liked to Rosales family. If I recall, people started missing them when they were gone.

Maybe he'll be the new Lucky Milo Yiannopoulos should also guest star.

That's fair. Lets agree to disagree

Changing those details would require the whole story to be rewritten

Read the script. She had it where it would be legal. It's stated in the script page I posted that she had it legally. It wasn't EVER "Arrange it so I'll get one in New York or I'll get one locally". Her excuse for leaving was that she had mid-terms at the university. Which was a lie, of course. In fact, she went to New York to get one, which is specified as New York. Her excuse was to visit her father. Once she returned, it was revealed her dad died in Europe after his wife Diana called.

Is there a miscommunication? It's been established that New York had it legal. It's shown in the script that it was legal in the state she had it preformed. I read nearly every script concerning this story line. In fact, the doctor was needing a contact number if anything went wrong. But, she convinced him she didn't know anyone. Dr Frazier states in that image of the script that "It is illigal to preform an abortion in this state on a married woman without her husbands consent." If it were illegal to do it, I'm certain he wouldn't ask for one (and insist) because it would jeopardize his career. Finally, if it were legal in Pennsylvania the fact remains: It was legal where she was. But if she had it in Pine Valley, why would have she tried to got to New York in the first place? She DID go to New York a month or so before this script but couldn't find someone with an appointment. She had to claim she went there to visit her father. Why would Erica go to all that trouble if she knew she could have gotten one in Pine Valley?

It doesn't change the fact that it 'was' legal for her to get the abortion where she had the abortion. I'd argue that her not getting Jeff's permission, and using the fake name (Mary Kelley), was more of an ethical delima. I'm sure that many women lied like Erica did and I'm sure many doctors would be willing to cover it up.

It's implied. The law that is reiterated in that scene reflects New York State. Mind you, Pine Valley wasn't specified to be in Pennsylvania at the time. Even in the shows bible, it doesn't say. It just says that it's an easy commute to a large city.

From AMC. This scene is from after Erica had the abortion and during her infection which nearly killed her. Jeff seeks Dr Frazier, who conducted it, to tell him about the infection so he and Dr Clader can work on the situation together. It's pre-Roe V Wade but coincides with the legalization in New York. Note, in Pennsylvanian, it wasn't legal (as far as I know) but the legalities that are reiterated by Dr Frazier reflects the laws in New York at the time.
