  1. These articles have been great, as the debut album often gets little attention since she's gone on to do so much since.

    These types of articles wouldn't be popping up for just any pop star - in fact, what would pop music over the past 30 years be had there not been a Madonna? It all started with this debut, which I might add, is far superior to the album that solidified her as a superstar (the follow-up, Like A Virgin).

  2. It's sad that her tenure was so underwhelming, given her long history with the show.

    Many of DTC's stories were so over-sensationalized the last time, but that works for press attention, which they may going for again. He'll be EP this time though, so it will be interesting to see what his story producing team looks like.

  3. I didn't think 1997 was all that balanced, though I loved her, it felt like Cynthia Watros was on every day that year (and frankly, carried the show and that story on her own).

    Though, 1997 definitely felt like a shot in the arm given the boring mess the show was from 94-96, for the most part.

  4. I know a lot of people (particularly ABC soaps fans) claim that the P&G soaps were formulaic, but honestly, I enjoyed them for different reasons.

    Simply put, GL was more of a community soap to me, ATWT was more of a family-oriented soap, and AW I think was best at stringing together characters that would be peripheral to other soaps and making them a foundation for the show that in the end really wasn't about core families, but became more and more about friendships and loose ties.

  5. It hurts me to no end that Sheffer's era is considered some kind of renaissance period by many (particularly in the soap press).

    While the first year of so of his run might have had a "fun quality," it was simply NOT ATWT, and the show just moved further and further away from what made it unique during that period, and I don't think it ever recovered.
