Actually Mary Ellen Stuart had decided to leave on her own accord - so perhaps Marland changed the story because he didn't recast the part of Frannie at that time.

I'm was surprised to hear how fast the Texas book was published. I had assumed it would take a good two years to be written and published. But it seems like this was written and published in under a year. Just reading the two reviews above, it sounds like this was a rushed job, when it shouldn't have been.

John O'Hulrey in a new interview where at the very end he talks about Loving - and reveals who his "double" was when he played twins (Jonathan & Keith) - it was none other than Oscar Nominee Chazz Palminteri! Go 51 minutes into interview below

Susan Lucci should've taken a page from Eileen Fulton - and inserted a Granny Clause in her contract - Then she would never be a Grandmother Quite frankly by 1999 - the show needed Susan Lucci MORE than Susan needed the show, so she could've have gotten the clause in her contract without any problems

And here is how they kicked it off - when they tried to turn AMC into Sex And The City

The only requirement was that you submit two episodes - even if the reel was an hour and a half as long as it was two episodes with only the actors scenes, there was no cut-off in terms of the length of the reel.

from the book "Last Stage Manager Standing" - the time As The World Turns filmed a big remote in Greece - and forgot to record the audio! Forcing them to hire a lip reader to transcribe the dialogue so they could loop in it later!

Alan has shared picture from the event on his FB and "X" and said it was a great event.

When TPTB at OLTL informed Teri Keane (Naomi Vernon) that her character was to be killed off - she wore a T-Shirt during rehearsal for her death scene reading "Are You Sure ABC"

Newly discovered interview from 1998 where Eileen Fulton talks about her famous "Granny Clause" resulting in Margo losing her baby - saying "it was just a foam rubber pillow!"

Paul Joynt did not die from AIDS related complications. He died from suicide after a long battle with mental illness. For many years he suffered from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) otherwise known as a multiple personality or split personality. He battled DID even while working on Soaps. The day he took his own life, he returned home from a devestating audition that went poorly, and one of his stronger personalities took over and hung himself.

Well he was fired from Loving - and then later made headlines when he was captured on film having a meltdown in Rome

Doug Chapin became a producer and then was Matthew Perry's long-time manager for over 30 years. He was so devestated by Perry's death that he and his husband left Hollywood, and Chapin retired from working in show-biz. Chapin is still very handsome.

That was only AFTER Debbi Morgan was on the show

Yes but the Black Canvas B&E wrote on Loving was only because Debbi was the one that initiated it. Before Angie arrived in Corinth in 1993, the only Black character in Loving's 10 year history (1983 to 1993) was Minnie (Egypt nurse maid). I don't think the character of Angie would've crossed B&E minds, if they didn't write for the character of Angie on Loving/The City prior to B&E arrival in Pine Valley. So again, it was Debbie who brought Angie back to the creative minds at ABC. NOT those ABC executives or writers.
