Wasn’t it Jackie Marler who died in the plane crash?

I didn’t recognize David Bailey as Russ in 1989 but I was still excited that he was brought back.

I believe Roman meant he knows the feeling about hatred towards EJ.

I always thought Maisie should have been a spoiler for them but Vince and Mary were always to be the end game.

It was a big missed opportunity not keeping Kim Langford. Having a single Ginger in the cul de sac would have been very interesting. Can you image Karen’s reaction if Ginger and Eric had an affair? I know difficult budget decisions had to be made but I would rather have seen reduced episode counts for the leads instead of losing Laura.

Interesting 3 part discussion between Constance McCashin and Kim Langford.

I believe Doug Marland could have brought Another World back to the top of the ratings if paired with a strong EP and if NBC let him do his thing.

I completely agree with you about Field and MacArthur.

I finished Tom Lisanti’s book and I really enjoyed it. I love that the cast and crew still have such love and respect for Texas after all of these years. The timing of the book’s release was perfect for me as I am rewatching Texas on YouTube. I am currently watching episodes where Elliot Carrington and Jeb Hampton have just been introduced. For me the show is starting to find its groove. The Tanquir story is over, Paige is scheming, Reena and Max are fighting their attraction to each other, Dennis’ paternity is about to blow up and some unlikeable characters are soon to be written out (Dawn, Clipper). I believe that if the Corringtons had been given a full year they may have been able to get the ratings up a bit. Although they really wrote a lot a violence against women. It’s a bit uncomfortable to watch.

On show that had characters named Snapper, Boobsie, Cricket and River I can accept a character named Aristotle.

I think so too.

I 100% agree with all of this.

I enjoy your posts! Keep them coming.

I finished reading whatever you want to call that thing McTavish wrote. Even if everything she said was true every word she wrote was dripping in bitterness and nastiness. It proved to me that everything said and speculated about her was true. But damn I really enjoyed all the tea and shade.

I had the same issue on my Mac but not on my iPhone.

Did they enjoy it?

Exactly!

When I have enough patience to deal with Karen I will email her and ask for a refund. Have you chatted with anyone who attended the event? Ricky Paull Goldin seemed to enjoy himself. I have not seen comments from any of the other attendees.

I was not really enjoying the Phyllis /Sharon trapped story but I did like the reveal of who was keeping them captive. I am actually looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

It is unfortunate that the writers eventually lost interest in Kin Shriner. The introduction of Jeb Hampton was well done and he had nice chemistry with Catherine Hickland (Dr. Courtney Marshall). Courtney was also out of that terrible story with grumpy Dr. Kevin Cooke and was interacting with the rest if her family.

Thank you! I finished the interview. It was great to hear how much Caryn Richman enjoyed her time on Texas. I wish the interviewer would have talked less and let her tell more stories about her time in the show. Caryn seems absolutely lovely.

Thank you for these links. I refuse to shop on Amazon so hopefully I can find the book elsewhere. I just started watching the interview.

Never work again or never work again on All My Children?

After a long break I have restarted my Texas rewatch. It was my favourite show when I was 10 years old so it has been interesting seeing it again after 40+ years. I’m on episode 54 and things are falling into place and the Corringtons did a good job setting up 4 interconnected families. I can see why Dawn Marshall, Clipper Curtis, Bart Walker and Princess Jasmine were written out fairly early. It’s too bad Courtney Marshall, Samantha Walker and Terry Dekker did not last for the entire run. With the correct writing and direction they could have been strong female leads.

He is not her cousin. I would never introduce the nephew of my uncle by marriage as my cousin because he would not be.
