I thought here nickname was Lester.

That was heartbreaking to watch.

You are all really overthinking this. Jamey was a huge Another World fan. It’s just a simple wink to the audience.

I am loving it. He spoke the truth to Carly. I only wish Monica had been there to cheer him on. John! No no no.

👍 👍

He looked like a normal 64 year old man to me who was standing outside after losing everything he owned in a fire.

Julie Chandler is a great idea.

I guess I am in the minority but I like that Drew has evolved (devolved?) into an ambitious, sleazy ho! This version is one I can see sticking around. I really hope the Quartermaines turn on him with lots of nasty fighting. I also hope that Chase leaves Brooklyn and Port Charles when the truth about her child comes out. I need Brooklyn to be single, desperate, angry, bitter and scheming to make everyone else miserable. Not this Laura Ingall's Wilder version we have been seeing for some time.

I stopped watching early in 2024, watched in December 2024 for Dougs death and Christmas and then stopped watched again. I will start watching one month before the new writers begin so I can appreciate the improvement. I will not give up an hour a day for Ron's crap even though there are many characters I really like.

I agree.

A fun little video. Although some of the details are off - like the expansion to an hour leading to Virginia Dwyer, George Reinholt and Jacqueline Courtney leaving. Some of the non Another World photos used were also an odd choice.

I loved Mary & Denise Alexander and they finally got the casting of Vince right with Robert Hogan. I am curious what Donna Swajeski would have written for them if Denise had not decided to leave.

Some of the audience may not have that much patience but I am part of the audience and it do. I think watching Val try to move on with her life with that loss always being there would have added layers to any story being told for her.

@Errol maybe you could clear this up so it does not end up in an endless back and forth leading to the thread being locked.

I agree. I loved the scene when Val got her babies back but I think keeping one of the babies away until the series finale would have been incredible story telling.

I agree Donna. Pete was brilliant, extremely arrogant, made some bad decisions that had a long term impact on Another World but seemed like a good man in general. Paul was brilliant, extremely arrogant, made some bad decisions that had a long term impact on Another World, was a bully, should have been fired for harassment and probably should have been sued by a few actors, actresses and staff.

I don't mind it when it works. I thought it worked with Heather and as much as I like Cole I think it will be a good way to drive story for Victoria and Claire.

Duell makes it very clear why he is leaving. https://michaelfairmantv.com/chad-duell-opens-up-decision-to-leave-general-hospital/2024/12/29/ Speaking on his departure (which from this interviews seems like he has already wrapped his run), Chad shared, “A lot of stuff has been going on in my life. (With) this break, there’s a few things behind it. As people know, my dad passed away and I’m still coming to terms with that, and, also, my intention was to spend some time back in Arizona but that’s becoming a little harder to do. Right now, I’m just more about doing things mentally, physically, preparing myself for whatever comes, (and) next chapters.”

https://www.welovesoaps.net/2009/07/harding-lemay-interview-part-three.html?m=1 We Love Soaps: So when you were asked to come back to ANOTHER WORLD in 1988, was the plan to be a consultant or the head writer again? Harding Lemay: I don’t know what they had in mind, really. I was the head writer for awhile. And then there was a strike. And during the strike they hired some NBC people to do the writing. Then they fired me and kept the ones they used during the strike, and the show got worse and worse and worse. But even by then, when I went back, it wasn’t going to work. I could see they weren’t interested. They weren’t excited enough by what I wanted to do, whereas before they had been very excited about the ideas I had. Procter & Gamble were very upset by my book [“Eight Years in Another World”]. I was very harsh on them. Nobody thought they would ever hire me again. But they were in deep trouble, so they hired me, and forgot all about it. I was no longer that keen on doing it either. I didn’t need the money. And then I began to be a consultant. And it’s very interesting, the consultant’s fees were very high. You’d make $2,500 a day. I had a contract that said I had to be paid for three days a week whether they used me three days or not. I did that on four shows altogether. What you do is sit in with the other writers, make suggestions, and try to help them work out what they’re doing.

No problem!

I could not find a plot summaries section on The Another World Homepage. Just the daily synopsis. Am I missing something? Can you send me a link to that section?

I suspect they are building up Cole because he will eventually die as result of something Jordan does.

It was a brilliant story that I could not do justice to by trying to summarize it. I will do some googling to see if there is a recap / summary of it out there. Sven was played to perfection by Roberts Blossom who had a somewhat successful stage and film career. He played the neighbour Kevin was afraid of in Home Alone.

My first memory of Another World was the Sven Peterson story / murder of Rocky Olsen in 1977. I was 5 years old and it began my love of the show. I watched faithfully until 1996 and then only sporadically after that with long breaks until the end.
