Victoria Rowell has a podcast coming about daytime....

This is such a random question - does anyone know anything about these two scriptwriters? I know this is an old tweet but I have heard and seen Jill mention them before but there is not much out there about them

That was a mess.

On Monday, June 29, in an episode that originally aired on September 21, 1994, Paul pulls out all the stops to propose to Christine. On Tuesday, June 30, in an episode that originally aired on December 14, 1994, Paul’s mother, Mary makes a surprise appearance at Christine’s bridal shower. On Wednesday, July 1, in an episode that originally aired on December 29, 1994, Paul and Christine’s wedding day takes a shocking turn. On Thursday, July 2, in an episode that originally aired on August 7, 1996, Christine and Paul take the plunge, as Phyllis makes a confession. On Friday, July 3, in an episode that originally aired on August 15, 2003, Paul interrupts Isabella’s revenge plot against Christine.

Does anyone remember scenes between Amelia Marshall (Gilly) and Beverlee McKinsey? I was listening to Amelia's podcast interview and she talked a bit about her first scenes with Bev, I don't think I've ever seen those.

Preachhhhhh!!!!! Viewers are complicit

Who won an Emmy for that episode? And why? I am confused, I thought it was a great VR episode but I didn't see anything from anyone else really.

Well that brings up a good point - I am honestly baffled that not one of the 3 soaps airing reruns decided to just air a storyline for a week rather than the one-offs. You're not getting the beginning, middle or end - its just the middle (and sometimes the end) of random stories. I think the repeats would have done better if they would have selected a story and showed it for a week. Something like the reveal that Nathan got HIV from Keesha or Veronica shooting Nikki.

Did we really need two Cassie episodes?

Totally agree. I loved Hilary but Amanda is a dud and thats mainly because they have half-assed their way through the character. I saw it happening the second she came to town with Hilary's exact face and barely anyone had a reaction.

How in the world did I forget these scenes with David and Kat on GL? Was this the first time the N word was used on a soap?

Rarely do I think you can credit a single writer for a couple but I think you can give MVJ almost sole responsibility for Kevin and Lucy.

Usually they submit in the wrong (supporting) category because they feel they have no shot in Lead. Considering how limited the competition is and that there are only 4 soaps left I find category fraud ridiculous now. You're barely competing against anyone now (the great actors have all left and the ones who remain barely and tarely get material), the least you could do is submit in the proper category

Same. I also just liked how stylish Colleen Dion's Felicia looked, down to the haircut. I absolutely believed she worked in fashion.

So nice to see a Spectra-centric episode with Felicia and Stephanie thrown in. The conversation between Sally and Stephanie was so fantastic. The more I see these episodes the more I realize that I will probably not like or watch this show regularly again.

Just great scenes between Nikki and Jack. Incredibly well acted and well written. Jill in this dress and hat is killing me! Great to see Dina as she used to be (the current illness story has gone on entirely too long)

I don't really like commenting on this because it feels very gross to me but I think a lot of the decisions she made regarding plastic surgery were a direct result of some things that happened in her personal life including some mental breaks. She clearly developed some type of body dysmorphic disorder. Anyway, I have to say, I quit being a regular viewer of B&B an eternity ago but I was suprised at how great she looked here in 2008:

Hunter was the reason I started watching too but also loved the Spectras and Flannery. Actually, I realized the other day that I really had no use for the men on the show. I only really tolerated Ridge because of Taylor. But I loved Taylor, Stephanie, Sally, Macy, Sheila, and later Amber - the male characters I could pretty much take or leave.

Has this interview ever been posted? Bill Bell and Claire Labine Interview from 1997 https://www.serialscoop.com/2014/07/bill-bell-claire-labine-on-writing.html?m=1

This episode is positively dreadful.

I feel like the Annie Dutton story definitely helped GL in the ratings. I don't remember what they were but I remember it being pretty big.

Has anyone put the last two episodes on the OneDrive?

LOL this appears to be a clear case of Bill Bell's vision still somewhat being THE vision for the show. Because what is quoted above is NOT Bradley at all. He LOVES and LIVES FOR the trash and sleaze. He clearly says he still gets story direction from his father, it seems as though this interview is more about his father's vision than his IMO. The man who wrote Deacon/Brooke and Ridge/Bridget saying going too far in terms of bad taste and sexually explicit content is not B&B? Didn't the Forrester family listen to Deacon having sex with Bridget and her losing her virginity over the phone?
