What's your point? I mean, why did you copy and past an AI report?

From that site: Also false is the notion that Phillips created AW as a sister show for "As the World Turns." No mention is made of a connection to Oakdale in the AW bible, or in the very rough first draft of her unfinished memoir, "All My Worlds." However, she did reference the Hughes family in the bible as a way to bring her AW characters into sharper focus. And six months into AW, the character of Mitchell Dru left Oakdale for Bay City. This is a link to the AW bible from that site: http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/bible.htm Page 1 is missing. I have page 1. From my copy of the AW bible: It says that Oakdale is neighboring. And it says Chris drew up the Mathhews' brothers partnership.

Almost done with today's episode. I wish we had intercuts between Natalia and Blaze in the sound booth and the man they were with looking on -- wondering what the hell was going on. Or we could see him kicking back while eating popcorn and chugging a Dr Pepper. It'd be great fun if Natalia told Blaze she was being homophobic in the recording booth to 'get the emotion out' of her so it would be more powerful. But have it where Natalie actually convinces her by talking about how she truly sees the love between Blaze and Kristina. And provides examples and so forth. But, the audience knows she manipulative. It would give her more depth and complexity. Character depth/complexity doesn't always mean 'likeable' sides. To me it means a greater psychological profile. Eventually, I would want Natalia to start giving Blaze pills to kill fatigue. Now, that would be a fun story!

Considering I cried during the Liz/Finn scenes? Nah, it really hit home. Liz was acting the way I did when my significant other's drinking went out of control. Knowing someone is different than being that someone. It's also a serial, remember, so there very well could be more scenes which shot it. But the confrontation between Liz and Finn, her fear and him insisting that he's fine and that she wont take Violet was very, very real. But these few outbursts and regrets, as you put it, is always ALWAYS a sign that a relapse is underway. All of the ratings suck.

It doesn't matter how much he drank. It matters that he did. He's going to AA, that's clear. He also knows NA rehotric. That's clear. The basic text (NA) and big book (AA) says: 1 is too many and 1000 is never enough. If he's following the program it means he clicks with it and takes it seriously. It means he believes it; it's his belief system. So, he went AGAINST his belief system. And NA makes it clear in the clarity statement that alcohol is a drug. A sip by accident isn't a relapse. But, it sure as hell can lead into one in times like grief. As far as if something is full-on relapse or not -- it either is or isn't. When I relapsed on April 16 it was half a can of beer. But I had relapses before hand where I smoked 2g of meth and took 3ml of GHB. I was so gone that when the guy I was with couldn't find his turnacit, we agreed it would be a good idea for me to use my hands as a substitute. It was a 12 hour binge. And that was NOTHING compared to my 48 hour binges when I thought I could do it 'one last time'. It's hard to explain why that half a can of beer was as impactful as those other examples. Emotionally, it was. But now I have 48 days. As far as how Curtis can drink but Finn can't that's because some addicts have been able to do that. But it's rare.

That's easier said than done. My mom was a Natalie (well, still is). She exploited my talents while tried to control them; lived vicariously through me. Like, I had what she didn't have but wanted and so I was a puppet. Regarding being a homo, yeah, she would act like she was okay with. She'd say it. But then she'd say, "When it comes to vaginal sex, don't knock it until you try it." Or "I don't care if you are sleeping around with kangaroos. I just want you to be safe and know what you are getting into". I had her watch the movie "For the bible tells me so" and she was so mad at me after watching it she started crying and then slept for 14 hours. An Uncle was vistiting from Jacksonville, Florida. I wanted to meet him for the first time. He's a minister. Mom said, "You can go to your Aunt Debby's to meet up but don't bring up being a gay" I told her I wouldn't just blurt it out but I asked why "It's disrespectful". I had to move from Texas to Chicago, never moving out of their place until I moved here, to get away from her. It was an impulse move. After 6 years, only visiting twice, she STILL knows how to push my buttons (it's not as bad anymore after befriending dad's ex-wife; Her and I are more like mother and son. Same personalities).

Watching Monday. I'm loving the Natalia/Ava scenes. Natalia is finally letting it all hang out. I stopped recording notes like that because I forget to turn the damn thing off. Aside from my doing, it's oddly common. It's like filling up the kitchen sink to wash dishes, needing to go to the bathroom and not turning it off because it won't be long, then getting distracted after using the toilet. Once I forgot about it for 15 minutes (the kitchen needed mopping though).

I love you too, Vee!

Being a 'kiss ass yes man' isn't the same as being a compromiser. My prediction is that PM returned, short term, just to help out EK in transitioning the show. Perhaps what was planned was so damn bad it needed someone like PM, to just for as long as it's needed, to set of a different trajectory. Maybe EK just needed a hand in trying to steer the show in her direction while she worked on a long term plan.

What exactly does a script editor do in daytime? Continuity?

I moved to Chicago 6 years ago after living in Texas for my 1st 27 years. I learned recently that Olive Garden is trashy. Growing up we had to dress up in 'our sunday best' when we went (while Uncle Mike played Dixie Land using his armpit and Aunt Stevie tossing the breadsticks to all of us like they were darts).

Terry. Also, the "Episode 1" with the cleaner type face is from the 1967 draft. I love that the show's opening was originally described as people walking up a hill with the whole "The Great and the Least" thing as an epigram similar to Day's "Like sands through the hour glass..." She wasn't in the bible. The copy of the bible the images are taken from is from the one in Bill Bell's collection at UCLA.

Here nickname was Terry

They look close enough in age, John.

Why would he recast with someone that young?

.

No, what he's talking about are serialized prose. Like what Charles Dickens did published on the web. He should have said "[...] anyone read the prose-based web soaps". I would have written it as "Does anyone read the serialized web stories that are like soaps".

It'll be fun if the ratings spike during this last week or so. And then what? A rehire? Didn't something like that happen with Labine in the middle of her GL tenure?

Thank you, Liberty City! I'm confused on the studio thing. I thought that was just switching studio space. So, its another division of oversight/management?

It always irritated me that they don't really show the struggle. That you have to take all drugs, even pot and booze, as part of the disease. I'm a drug addict. Mostly, meth but I was on coke, GHB, Ketamine, and molly. But also booze and pot. I learned that If I even drink a sip or smoke just a bit of pot I'm done for. And then there was that phase where I started abusing benadryl by boofing 4/5 tablets. When you need show a character going through the struggle, really, there is so much conflict and drama to milk. That said, I do feel that it's inappropriate for some. Erica Kane, as for example, was bound to be an alcoholic because of her pill issue. But if she really did work the program, and completed the steps, she'd be a completely different person considering that you have to accept that you aren't the center of the universe.

That might be it. When they audition they need to see if the person they are in scenes with get horny. My pitbull knows when people are horny so maybe they could use him when they cast? Like a drug sniffing dog? FYI, I'm not sure if I'm joking or not.

Miss Susan?

Regarding the romance situation. I really feel that if there are two actors who have explosive chemistry it'll work for young people. Chemistry that that will arrest the viewers imaginations and make their heart beat fast. Also, and not to get off topic, but I do feel that Bill Bell's casting was great in that. Certainly, some of his hot actors didn't have much of an acting talent. But, when you compare the actor who plays Dex compared to 90s Scott Reeves it's clear that Scott has a bigger draw. Maybe it's charisma?

Dunno if I should post this here or not. It's a fan made opening I'm doing. It's not complete, of course.

I did it because I thought it was hysterical.
