I Agree With What Everyone Has Said About Search For Tomorrow. When Ellen Barrett Left Ryan's Hope And Went To Search For Tomorrow She Really Changed Things. 1983 Saw A Revolving Door Of 3 Executive Producers. Fred Bartholomew - Around The Time Liza Shot Rusty Sentell. Joanna Lee - Around The Time The August 1983 Live Episode Ellen Barrett - End Of 1983. The Moreno Family Left Henderson. Enter The McCleary Family. Was Joanna Lee Fired Because Of The Live Episode & So Called Missing Tapes ? Search For Tomorrow Became Somewhat Of Ryan's Hope Starting In Late '83, Early 1984. Bigelowe's Irish Bar, The Introduction Of The McCleary Family: Hogan, Kate, Adair & Cagney (Later Quinn). Search For Tomorrow Was Hanging On Sort Of While Ryan's Hope Started To See A Huge Hot Mess.... ...... Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer Were Let Go & There Entire Team. Enter Joseph Hardy & The New Writers Pat Falken Smith & James E. Reilly. Blew Up Ryan's Bar Should Have Not Happened. But The Cast Cuts That Started In '83 to '84 ish. Malachy McCourt, Kelli Maroney, Louise Shaffer, Roscoe Born, Ilene Kristen, Earl Hindman, Felicity Lafortune, Karen Morris Gowdy & John Gabriel Really Hurt Ryan's Hope. But Also ABC'S Bloated Schedule 6 Soap Opera Shows !!!!!! And The Time Change To Give Newcomer Loving A Chance. The Edge Of Night Would Be Gone And Ryan's Hope Would Be Moved To A Different Time Slot Which Was The Nail In The Coffin.
