I saw on Facebook Alan is friends with Terrell Anthony and had his number. 

OMG!!!

Show more

In my opinion, Jill Farren Phelps would've thrived more in the daytime world if she would've gotten the opportunity to create or at least be in charge of a brand new soap. I think she would've loved working on a show in the vein of Irish Soap Opera Red Rock. I mean it had her favorite thing as an EP.

I think that was the first Daytime Emmys I watched live. ATWT won Best Drama without winning anything else? What a darker (in color) ceremony than the previous year’s. The clip selections were terrible (especially if they were going to show so little of them).

 

OT: What was the emergency that took Finola back to London? And man, Peter Bergman can cry at the drop of a hat, especially when mentioning his wife. I suppose that’s a... nice quality?

I think Finola was in the process of getting her green card.

Vee mentioned Geraldine Page being in the pilot for Loving, but does anyone know how she ended up in the pilot in the first place? I'm sure a job was a job and it did premiere as a TV movie but it's fascinating to me that she was in it.  I don't think she had any history with soaps before that so I'm wondering if there was some connection behind it, especially since she was still getting good parts in films and on Broadway at the time. 

 

Also, I have heaps of 1992 and 1993 I finally got around to converting that I can upload in the next week or so if people are interested in that time frame of the show.

I will be more than interested in the heaps of 1992 and 1993 episodes of Loving. Thanks @AdelaideCate007

I’m so glad Tonya Lee Williams gave us that gift of a quote.  

When did Tonya Lee Williams say that?

I'm onto the part with everyone agreeing they need a second episode solely based on EP Joe Stuart. This is my first time hearing about him in frank.

Looking around it seems like Youtube is having problems. Hopefully it will be back later today.

It's back up!!!

You can't have a Brooke week without any of the BeLief episodes!....but other then that the Honeymoon episode is at least something new they haven't repeated before...I think? 

 

They should've shown when Brooke gets 50% of Forrester with Brooke telling Stephanie she finally won. I mean some of the newer audience only knows her as "I sleep with my loved ones men" instead of the ambitious chemist turned successful businesswoman. 

1. Telling multi-generational storytelling -It seemed after Frons left ABC, the shows decided to start focusing more on the vets, which is great and should always be the case. However, shows like YR and GH have neglected their next generation by not giving them a story to showcase their younger years and by the time the regime finally wants to put them on front and center we're expected to care about their longtime off-screen relationship or the ramifications of them being in a cult which we're only told. Show and Tell, please!!! 

2. Budget -If you don't have the funds to do a storyline when a character is on the run to some overseas locale, or suppose to be living in a new apartment building but it is only an old set that is dressed. Stop It! Tell human stories of family, friendship, romance, and corporate machinations. I don't need to see the best of Reilly on a shoestring budget. Go and research your show's history and modernize them. 

3.Diversity - From the cameramen to the stylists, and the cast and production staff, all soaps should represent the world today. When was the last time Hamilton-Winters was mentioned? And why couldn't they get the Dark Horse set instead of Chancellor Media? They could've built up the show's first black ran company on the show, which could've been history in the making. But instead, Devon is doing business in the living room of his penthouse. Where are the Black, Latino, and LGBTQ characters on Bold? They reside in one of the most diverse cities in the world in LA. And I've seen more diversity on 7delaan, which is a South African Soap Opera. Why can't they be a new black family running a fashion dynasty in competition with Forrester and they actually succeed at it too?

4 Bring Back Legacy/Core Characters More - I get the temptation of creating your characters since I'm a writer and write a weekly serial via web text. But it seems some writers get off on it most of the time. And yes everybody in town can't be related. But there is no reason why characters such as Serena Baldwin, Fen Baldwin, Ana Hamilton, Jeremy Horton, and Tommy Hardy aren't on their respective shows? However, we get Willow's and Sasha's every day on the screen. Makes no sense. 

5 Axing Members Of Cast You Don't Need - It should be more of a limit as to how many people can be in contact with the four remaining shows on air. GH doesn't need 85 people on a contract (exaggeration), but you only write for let's say 20 (If we're lucky) at a time. It seems like a hindrance to having all of the people on contact, and you only write for so many, and it seems the rest of the cast get little scrapping to work with. I mean I hate to say it, but it is a reason why stunts are there perhaps kill off a few inessential characters that way, and write off the rest. 

This morning I saw that the 1982 Daytime Emmy Awards were on YT.

That year Guiding Light won Outstanding Daytime Drama Series and for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series Writing.

By the way I had no idea that Tony and Katie had chemistry nor were in a romance until I watched that clip near the end for Best Show. 

I found this on YouTube in my recommendations on the home page.

As I'm coming up on the deaths of

  Hide contents

Cabot and Isabelle

in the LM, I thought now was as good a time as any to finally watch the Loving pilot, full of people who will be out of the picture shortly. I hope you'll all accept my preemptive apology for questions you've all answered before.

 

- WEHT Merrill, Roger and Ann? And I guess Susan Walters/Lorna?

- When did "Clay," Gwyneth and Trisha enter the picture, and where are they?

- Is that really Geraldine Page?? (Who I last saw in John Schlesinger's brilliant and demonic The Day of the Locust, a film I do not recommend watching at the outset of a terrifying global pandemic)

 

The pilot is notably directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, esteemed music video director for the Beatles and the Rolling Stones who also helmed the original Brideshead Revisited miniseries a few years prior and the original Broadway production of Agnes of God, and long-rumored to be the illegitimate son of Orson Welles.

According to the set of Loving Promos at 1:06. Apparently Gwyn debut in December of 84.
