Another World Discussion Thread
It's wild because didn't ABC try to get Another World? It seems like it would do well on there. As much as I enjoyed Port Charles, I would have preferred AW on ABC.

I was only 2 when John died. Yes, I do think John appreciated the Pat that was dependent on him. However, I do think it would have been cool for him to fall in love with the Pat who was independent and making her way in Cory Publishing. Heck, if she was still leaving the show when she was, they could have gotten back together and left together. They and their kids could have driven story for years.

I've always felt that most Head Writers are always suited to certain shows over another. MD did seem more suited to AW in the 80s than others. Of course, there are just plain crappy HWs as well, i.e. Dena Higley.

A John Ross & Christopher swap would have been amazing.

I remember these when I was a kid. Weren't these in the Enquirer? It was a fake out for folks trying to spoil how Bobby comes back?

That was a wild ep to see. BBG was amazing in it and the resolution was da bomb!

Ratings from the 80's
Seems like it would have made more sense to put SB on at 2 pm and do AW at 3. Same with Texas. AW was getting bad but it still had more to fight with against GH and GL at 3 pm and being sandwiched between DOOL and AW may have helped get more viewers. Even putting DOOL at 12:30 and airing SFT at 1:30 could have helped Texas & SB. Looks like SFT was holding it's own pretty well before going over to NBC. Did Capitol do better or worse for CBS after NBC took SFT? Russ would have been a better choice to go to Texas. He goes to Houston and meets Kevin and Rena and the show can have him commute back and forth for a case, he interacts w/ the folks and stays there eventually. Iris stays on AW. But DB's Russ isn't that charismatic, so who knows?

Ratings from the 70's
I remember this interview. He then talked about what he walked into when he defected over to NBC, including their show development and how their daytime was a mess.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
Loved the irony of him talking about being single and about how dating had changed considering that he remarried Loyita like 4 years later. Meant to be.

Damn Austin was a nasty SOB. He was so evil and scary when he was on the show. Austin is soooo creepy. David Gautreaux was so good in this role. This should have been a one note role but even through his evil, you could feel how much he "loved" Sarah. A true villain that thankfully was never "redeemed". Today, he would have been redeemed and made the town mayor.

Unpopular opinions: cancelled soaps edition
If Pluto had a soap channel with old episodes of different shows, that would be awesome.

Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)
Wasn't it DM who wouldn't agree to go along with ABC's idea of EON becoming a late night show? I would think if most of the cast and crew were good w/ it, he would have to put up or shut up.

Recasts on shows: good, bad, in between
Fraternal twins can have different hair and skin coloring. My mom's cousins were fraternal twins where one was a tall brunette with brown eyes and the other was a short blond with blue eyes. It happens.

I would love to find these podcasts if anything to chuckle along. As for #3, I've seen multiple exit interviews and think, "Bulls****".

Will soaps start firing actors who aren't fully vaccinated?
Honestly, something with him is coming up for Sweeps involving him either getting killed or leaving. He's setting it up to look like he was fired d/t his views instead of the fact he hasn't been essential for years. However, he just comes off as a whiner, though.

I tried finding this on Instagram but she just has pics of herself. Must have gotten some bad reactions to this ignorant post.

Santa Barbara Discussion Thread
A long time lurker, finally a poster. My thoughts on Mary is that she is what Mason needed to be ready to be in a relationship with Julia. Julia and Mason have flaws and warts, like most realistic couples. He needed someone like Mary to show him what love was. He did lose it, but now that he'd experienced it, he would be more open to it and the fulfillment it would bring him. Julia showed him it was more than star crossed lovers but also maturity, children, and yes, sometimes struggles. In the long run, Mary was needed to help Mason successfully move on with Julia. The remodel of the Q mansion was all Gloria Monty because she decided an earthquake in NY was the way to go to remodel several sets.

Why? What happened to Richard Eden? Ignore my last post. I got my answer but I'm unable to delete it.
