OMG I can see why AW and ATWT were cancelled. It’s because of the ‘activists’ that thought they were saving the show but did more harm than good. I’d have cancelled the show too rather than deal with the ‘activists’.

I was indifferent to Jacquie. Not a great actress. Met her in person a couple of times and she was cold. Not particularly nice. This was on more than one occasion so it wasn’t a fluke.

Gee, I wonder if Jacquie’s relationship with the producer had anything to do with her contract being renewed.

Don’t believe everything you hear. I’ve been in the GMA audience many times and Amy always interacts nicely with the audience. Behind the scenes, I don’t know.

Amy Robach is one lucky woman!

Thank you very much. Glad to share.

I don’t know. The theory out there is that 20 million people watched Steve & Betsy’s wedding in 1984, which would easily put the show at #1, but there’s nothing out there to back that up.

The next ratings challenge in 1987: People Meters Look it up.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled ratings because of the Iran- Conta hearings. Ironic that we are going through the exact same thing now with our soaps being interrupted.

True story here. In early 1986, I was not enjoying GL. I wrote to Gail Kobe and told her that I was not enjoying the show. I received a letter back from her that I thought was kind of harsh. She said that my letter was unfocused so she couldn’t take it seriously. Maybe my letter was unfocused, I truly don’t remember what I said in it, I just remember that ratings were falling and I didn’t enjoy the show anymore. A few weeks later she was fired and I remember being happy about it. To me, it was justification that others (her bosses) were unhappy with her work. I wasn’t the only one.
