Primetime Soaps
Story By means that the writer or writers (not more than 2 by WGA rules) wrote an outline for an episode. Or, more likely today, that their script got re-written substantially so all there's left was to credit them for was the "story". Teleplay By means the actual script (construction [which scene goes where etc.], original and/or new scenes, characters, dialogue...) was written by a person or two (never more than 2, again). So it has nothing to do with head writing.

His whole story was junk. +1. I really hate Darren, though. Whatever happened to his Russian models scheme? Loved it. Especially because Tanya, the witch full of sh!t, got destroyed!!! Yay! She, Jane and who else was there — May? — were nicknamed the Coven. JamesF and I talked about it here I believe. Jane bugs me too because she's with that horrid dreck evil rat Ian. Ew! She and Grant would have been a better couple, though ultimately a bad one. +1.

Primetime Soaps
No, goodnes!! Where did I say that! It was all on tapes, DVDs... I used to have a weekly Primetime Soaps Marathon, and watched them with friends. That was fun. I loved Melorse, Knots, The CW (!!! even though Raquel Welch and Lauren Hutton annoyed the hell out of me; I loved dumb the dumb Stephanie Wells; I felt it was full of potential, but again — it was dated even then and people were saturated with a past decade or two of such shows), Dallas and Dynasty. What more do you want of me?!? Why am I assaulted with rifles and guns?! My schedule is full as it is, that why I honestly said I wish I had Chris B's time to watch some things from those shows again. And Hidden Palms I did love, I really did. Don't get me wrong, like Chris says, I'm a passionate fan of trash TV, those godawful shows people stare at you when you say you watch: Goodness! You watch that?! Seriously?! You wouldn't belive the drecks I used to follow. But at the same time... I feel that TV needs to be purged and freed from the claws of various Dynasty/Melrose clones etc. Those eras are done. There are many concepts that need to be investigated further. Or someone needs to write another show about feuding wine industry families à la Falcon Crest. Ultimately, I am interested in excellence. I am interested in how dreadful shows could be transformed into something a class or two above.

Primetime Soaps
I was just going to reply to Chris B's post how I envy him on so much free time and how he can waste days, weeks and months of his life watching utter [!@#$%^&*]. Absolutely horrible shows, which were dated even when they aired, not to say after all these years. All of these shows were underdeveloped, hit a wall all too soon and not even nostalgia factor is enough to re-watch. These are the kind of shows you should watch once, except perhaps Melrose. And moments from other shows, but most certainly not whole seasons. To see 13 pages of sh!t shows which got dumpet rightly is just... Fun. Perhaps I'll find something interesting.

Primetime Soaps
An elaboration? Yes, Sheldon is just fluid, you just keep turning the pages. Fun books, to relax the brain, but no masterpieces. Whereas Jackie - you nailed it. I asked because it's not that I think she should, most certainly not, perhaps only to write a bible and general storyline, but even that's generous, it's that she's popular and some might lend themselves for adaptation. When I read the title of the newest one...

Except The Monroes, I've seen all the others. Have there been any attempts to lure Jackie Collins or Sidney Sheldon into the primetime soaps world?

Which of these 12 pages worth of shows do you, people, think were actually good? And which got sacked/never made it on air deservedly?

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
I have, but not these particular episodes. However, I have read posts (I think it was Usenet or something) about it and it just sounded... I'm not surprised it interested Agnes, but writing it down like that and producing it... Thank you, Elsa! So you saw the snake and falling of a bridge?

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
I thought the story was a cheeeaaaap, lame Goethe/Faust legends ripoff. Really unsuitable for soap operas. And why is a snake lame? A biblical symbol of evil.

Well, Jake Wood and you. This kind of accidental death stories never works. It's not tragic as it should be, instead making you just stand there in front of a screen looking all and then just .

I found Bradley an awful story choice. Completely random, silly... Just terrible.
