Meanwhile, the one story that I’m interested—Amanda’s discovery of her biological family—has pretty much come to a screeching halt.

Hmm? I wonder why?

Melissa is Gwen's mother

 

Who do you think is Gwen's mother? 

And I pray that it isn't 

One of my favorite promos!!! Kimberly Simms and that mane of hers.

But when EYEEEE told certain folks on this board that Abby was not a lead, has no character beyond 'stupid' and will never be worthy of frontburner story or taken seriously, some of y'all wanted to throw me in the lake and see if I float!

I remember and gladly I wasn't one of them. She like AH is a supporting actress in a leading role. 

I was just minding my own business on YouTube. While randomly this video popped up with a recent virtual reunion with  Catherine Hickland (Lindsay) and Hillary B. Smith (Nora) Looks like Catherine and her husband Todd Fisher (Debbie Reynolds son) have their own channel.

Yep.  As EP's and showrunners, Patricia Green and Rick Wallace were so bad that Kelley and Bochco had to return at mid-season as consultants.  Then, Steven Bochco stayed on as EP (while Kelley left again) until the seventh season, when he hired "St. Elsewhere" vets John Masius & John Tinker to be the show's new showrunners.  IIRC, they incorporated the L.A. riots into the storylines.  Masius & Tinker were/are great writer/producers, but totally wrong for "L.A. Law."  Subsequently, ratings were so bad that the show had to go on hiatus.  William M. Finkelstein, who'd worked on the show during the Kelley era, was brought back to fix things.  Finkelstein did improve "L.A. Law," but by that point, with so much cast turnover, I think viewers had moved on.

Thanks for the info. I can tell in Season 5 the turnover is about to begin with Sheila Kelley and Amanda Donohoe. While, five episodes in Abby (Michele Greene) gets the least focus (Although, I did enjoy the episode when she defends the couple who wants to send their adoptive son back into state custody. 

GUIDING LIGHT Alums Virtual Interview - Soap Opera Digest

Alan Locher will feature former GUIDING LIGHT on-screen couple, Grant Aleskander (Phillip) and Beth Chamberlin (Beth), on his YouTube show, The Locher Room. The actors will appear virtually for an interview on Thursday, January 28 at 3 p.m. and can be viewed

I miss female scheming characters on soaps who were from a working class background who wanted more out of their typical lives no matter the cost. Now it seems everyone is either rich or no one wants any long-term personal and professional goals now. As well as troublemakers who add more to the canvas and not just said that they're because they might do something out of the ordinary too. The closest we have to that now on modern day soaps is Gwen from DAYS. 

Characters for example 

Rachel Davis - Another World 

Erica Kane - All My Children

Nola Reardon - Guiding Light 

Ava Rescott- Loving

Vicky Hudson - Another World

Kendall Hart - All My Children 

Dinah Marler - Guiding Light 

LA Law : Season 5 

Something is telling me when David E. Kelley leaves this show is going to go to the pits. 

I can't see Kassie DePaiva playing Eve during much of Charlotte Ross tenure. Well except for maybe hooking up with Nick and not getting along with Kimberly. 

Barbara Crampton (Leanna) posted this throwback interview when she was on the show on IG.
