How did people like Katherine Ross on the show? I liked her in Stepford and Graduate.

That's a good guess, I believe the writers think they're being clever by doing stuff like that. Bill bell did that too!
That's true.
Michael makes me so hot tbh. Him and Eric! I would have loved to power verse for them while adding Don Diamont (circa 1987) to have it so I'm also spit roasted at the same time.

Why is the bad guy on this show always stopped by some kind of collision? First, Lilly Mae ramming Ciji's boyfriend, then Josh falling off the building, and then Phil getting he by a car. Is it to avoid a trial?

Oh wow four years and you lost your d. Amazing.
I was expecting @j swift to claim he knows for a FACT it was once spelled with a "D" and claim he knows for a FACT as that is how he remembers it from when he was 6 months old.

At what point do we start to 'feel' LML's run? It seems like Filerman and Jacobs are listed as EP all the way in.

They are really dragging out Karen's escape. That said, I am enjoying it quite a bit. I love first he sets the place on fire, she escapes, but then she signals down a driver and it turns out to be her kidnapper, and then she runs away from him, and then he crashes his car, and then he manages to get his car in reverse and chases her again! I love this!

I am not. I downloaded them all years ago and onto a backup drive. I watch on my PlayStation 4.

I'm at the start of Season 8. I am actually impressed with the actors who play Greg and Mac in the flashbacks.

I think people are over thinking why Victor liked John. It's simple. John was a likeable guy, a good family man, a good person to be around, and he was a very strong and very ethical business man. So, why would Victor not like him? Jack was essentially the opposite (early on, at least).

or so long.
Speaking of Lauralee as Cricket someone posted this scene on Tiktok and it was so amusing to me that Joanna questions Cricket's mood when the actress did nothing to indicate any emotion at all; unless her hair was meant to convey something...
She's acting sullen through out the scene. Also, her mood NOT changing indicated, what Joann said, that her heart wasn't in it (which knowing YNR there was something internal going on).
Had she prepped up a bit Joann wouldn't have said that.

I had a dream last night about possible spin-off fan fiction centered around the character of Ellen Lowell Stewart (mostly played by Patricia Bruder) on ATWT, doing some creative "re-imagining" of the Lowell family backstory and building off with a different branch of the Lowell family, but with Ellen as the heroine/matriarch. The story would center around her and her further adventures, maybe in Centerville or some fictional place somewhat near Oakdale, maybe even post-pandemic?
So when Ellen left the show, did the writers have any dialogue which gave any clue as to where she was going or what her next steps were? I may try writing to Patricia Bruder and see if she remembers anything. Does anyone remember anything about what happened to Ellen? According to one online source, the last time she was written off the show would have been in or around November 1998.
You do know the subject line is supposed to be brief, right?
"Question on Ellen's (ATWT) 1998 departure"

I do like your question though. Hey departure always pissed me off.

Thank you. By default the man is the villain and the female accuser is the hero.
I was sexually attacked in a class once by two female classmates when I was 17 and there were witnesses including a teacher.
One chick held me down while the other twisted acts turned my genitals. I ran crying to the counselor and they could only give them in-school-suspension for 1 week.
I'll NEVER forget my assistant Principe telling me that had I done it to a female student I'd be expelled. 13 years later I've talked to men who had worse stuff happen and NOTHING happens.
I really "love it" when men are sent to prison for child molestation or rape because the person lied and it's still in their record.
People need to get their head of the sand and accept the fact that, yes, women can be twisted and LIE about sex abuse. Considering the #MeToo movement made it vogue for women to make a statement, yeah, it is even more possible than ever for a woman to LIE about this FOR MONEY.
Frankly, not feeling that is possible is sexist towards woman as it insinuates that all women are, essentially, saints incapable of deceit.

Doug was only 7 years older than Jeanne and she presented older onscreen in the 70's and 80's so I can't see it.

(When Kitty came to have dinner with the Martin family, Kate could remember ever having met Kitty's mother.)
By the way, before Nick had his dance studio, he owned a firm that sold light bulbs.
Could or couldn't? It seems like that was a typo based on how your sentence ended.
I'm certain Nick was a dancer.

I did not see the first twenty-eight months of the show (due to not having an ABC affiliate near my home), but I do not remember that Nick was ever a dancer. He DID own a dance studio, but I do not remember that Nick had ever been a dancer or was a dancer. He met his wife Kitty when he hired her to be an instructor in his dance studio. Kitty had been in Hollywood and wanted to be discovered as a dancer, but the age of the musical was mostly over by that time. She decided to move to Pine Valley because her mother had once lived there or had some connection to Pine Valley. I remember that Kitty asked to meet Kate Martin because Kate had lived in Pine Valley during that time and Kitty hoped that Kate could possibly remember her mother.

I'm confused. Is Chris Van Etten a writer on the show or is he an actor on the show?

Lisa Brown as Brooke English (AMC)
Gillian Anderson as an aged Laura (AMC) had she not died - that's bending the rules, I know
Anna Stuart as Erica Kane
Susan Lucci as Rachel (AW -- even during the redemption). I'd love to see her with Mac
Jeanne Cooper as Iris (AW) seeing her play the pseudo-incest layers with Mac would've been fun.
David Canary as John Abbot (YR)
Jerry Douglas as Joe Martin (AMC)

We've all heard the maxim that entertainment is created by committee. As a result, a writer could make an excellent pitch only to have it squandered by poor acting choices, bad directing, cheap sets, odd makeup, ugly hair, terrible casting, horrible breakdown writers, or even awful background music. I would bet that there are dozens of writers who felt unfairly blamed for a bad plot line, when in reality the idea was good, but the production messed up the execution of the story.
I'll start the list with a controversial example.
After the trauma of her daughter being kidnapped, her husband leaving her to care for a sick relative, and her son (who was switched at birth) being killed in car accident, a female cop turns to Xanax to help with sleep. Eventually she becomes addicted to the prescription and rather than admitting her dependency she blames her emotionally unstable daughter. Hitting rock bottom, she looses her job on the police force and becomes addicted to gambling. That,of course, could have been the pitch for Nighttime Hope. As bad as the story was produced, I maintain the idea was valid.
Here's another
Soaps have a history of ripping stories from the headlines. The NXIVM cult seized the imagination of the country through true crime podcasts and documentaries. The cult preyed on young women by promising empowerment, but they became enslaved by revealing secrets that would be harmful if they were revealed. Now imagine Kristina Corinthos-Davis, a young woman who felt neglected by her career-driven mother, dropped out of college, and recently broke up with her first female romantic relationship. That story would become GH's Dawn of the Day cult story. The writer who pitched it had no idea that it would stretch out so long, or that the actor hired to lead the cult would not be charismatic, or that story would devolve into a fight over memory chips. Again, probably a good pitch that was poorly executed.
The obvious sarcastic response would be that the original ideas were inherently flawed (which is why Oscar Wilde said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit). Or this whole thread will take an unpredictable tangent into discussing the career of Coby McLaughlin. However, my intention is that I am interested in your perspective as viewers of stories that seemed like a good idea, but went wrong in execution.
Could you have just asked:
Good on paper but bad when it was played out?

Ok, let's simmer down, a hazy memory is not an offense. I don't know if it is compliment or not, but I am of an age to have watched AMC in 1970s as a (very young) child, I just didn't keep contemporaneous notes thinking that 50 years later I would be discussing it on a message board.
I don't think I've said that Mona thought Nick was Erica's father, she just objected to their romance.
However, I think it is well established that Nick was a dancer and Mona knew him from the clubs. And if read the synopsis of the plot surrounding Phoebe and Charles's divorce you will see that Mona threatened to tell Phoebe's kids that Phoebe hired Myrtle to impersonate Kitty's mother, which Mona knew to be true because she had know Kitty's mother back in her day. Try the Pine Valley Bulletin as a resource for verification, and let's all try to use a bit more kindness, understanding, and levity when discussing our memories
http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/Quick Guide/BiographiesWeb/KaneMona.html
As a "Very Young" child! None of your claims about your memory have merit then!
Babe, you did say that and I took a screenshot of it.
Nick was friends with Eric and that is how Mona knew him. Also, define 'clubs'.
The same place that once said Donna was Kitty's daughter?

I don’t think anything j swift has said is meant to imply that he was watching the show in the 70s lol
The poster is making claims that nobody seems to be able to verify. I've spoken to fans who did watch in the 70s and I've read actual projections. I'm trying to figure out where @j swift found out Mona was friend with Kitty's mom, Mona thought Erica was Nick's kid, and that Mona was in the cabaret.

John Ross wasn't old enough to be in meaty stories.
The Wolfbridge story was iconic. It didn't alienate viewers. In fact, it quite successfully expanded that KL universe.
