  1. Richard Burgi was awful as a heart attack victim; it was laughable. Did they kill him off by the end of the episode? I couldn't sit through it.
  2. Anything with Ben/Ciara, Chloe, or Kristin makes for completely unwatchable Fa Dayzzz!
  3. Does anyone have a complete list of all the writing staff roles Gillian Spenser had on AMC and the dates?
  4. Put the show out of its misery. Ken has let Ron beat to death any semblance of true soap opera. Ron has even driven away viewers who stuck through Higley and Griffith with his insane back from the dead, assumed identities, identical not-twins, identical twins, turning everyone into a felon. The few bright spots he ruins i.e. the Charlie character and the story they could have told with brother Tripp. And let's not even get started on Ben and Seeearuh Alice in Wonderland/Romeo and Juliet poopoo.
  5. Amazing cast. But with many Marland episodes I felt like I needed a tranquilizer after watching. This show was on speed. Too many characters and chaos in many of these scenes.
  6. == https://imgur.com/a/0ikvWfU I'm rereading the GL 1969 story projection. I believe this is the projection that got Soderberg/Sommer their four year head writing stint on GL. They kick off the story in May and go through year end. Wikipedia says they were head writers starting in Nov 1969 but this projection is written to begin in May so either they didn't start their stories in May or Wikipedia is incorrect. https://imgur.com/a/0ikvWfU
  7. Finally dug out my old GL scripts and outlines! The attached are just the first page of each document. GL 1990 Breakdown written by Nancy Watt, assigned to Rich/Lawrence (includes head writer hand written notes by either Long or Curlee GL 1988 Script written during writer's strike (Grant's shooting copy) GL 1990 Script GL April 1969 Soderberg/Sommer Story Projection!!!!! GL Breakdown.pdf GL 90 Script.pdf 1738573643_GL88Script.pdf GL April 69 Outline.pdf
  8. Hot but his "acting"skills were atrocious and the dreaming death plot was one of Long's worst...a rip off of Marland's lassa fever (sort of) on GH in 1979. Jim needed to be a half naked life guard then his presence on the screen would have been compelling..That otter fur...woof.
  9. I wonder how many episodes were written by Jacker during the strike; I think the strike lasted 12 weeks. But some had episodes written way ahead.
  10. Interesting that you think Jacker was the strike HW. We know that Swajeski got her job as HW after writing the show during the 88 strike. It makes sense that the producers found non union playwrights to work on the show during the strike.
  11. Where are the ratings for the last three weeks? Thanks
  12. Who was headwriter when the writer's strike happened in 1981? I know L Virginia Brown and Linda Hamner were listed as HWs in Sept 1981 when the strike ended. Was Brown head writer in May/June 81 when they stopped showing writer credits?
  13. That April Fool's episode made we want to hide in shame for watching it; poor Carolyn Culliton gets most of these one off fantasy scripts. I wouldn't want any credit. Baaaaad, gurl.
  14. You're right. But I put anything MAGA Ellen Wheeler did on GL in a class by itself. In the 1980s context, the AW theme was the worst.
  15. So ..... Moses Winters born 2011 should be 6 but recast with 18 year old Faith Newman born 2009 should be 12 but recast with 18 year old Summer Newman born 2006 should be 15 played by 27 year old Charlie and Mattie Ashby born in 2010 but were 18 -19 when they left the canvas? Do I got it right/....LOL
  16. In the history of modern soaps there are two that are completely irrelevant and should never have aired: B&B which cancelled Capitol, a classy show with a great premise and wonderful cast; and Sunset Beach which was a laughable knock off of Santa Barbara and Baywatch.
  17. Since none of the facial muscles of any of the actors move under the weight of botox and fillers, the real question is how will the audience know the character is dead.
  18. One of the worst soap themes ever.
  19. Corinne Jacker had no idea how to write a soap. She lasted a year. She had a few co-head writers to try to help all short lived including Robert Cenedella who had created Somerset while he wrote AW in 1970. None of it worked.
  20. Aiden Turner is 37 and Irish. Paul might be a good choice if he can pull off a British accent; he's Aussie; how hot is he these dayzzz?
  21. Days: Ron Carlivati can only write for look a likes and back from the dead; everyone else, fuggettaboutittt
  22. Here's Days taping schedule the week of March 8th: Week of 3/8/21-3/12/21 # 14119-14126 (airing 6/8/21-6/17/21
  23. Please, not with Daniel Goddard.
  24. Remember: all the shows, but particularly GL, were in a race to copy and/or steal from GH which was a huge success in 1981 onward through about 88-89. All the producers/writers were pressured to do ice princess stories, copy Luke and Laura etc. Doug had Kelly/Morgan and the Nola fantasies, Pam did the dreaming death, haunted cottage stories. SFT did the jade story and on and on. Gloria Monty ruined traditional daytime even if she sort of saved it. James Reilley also ruined daytime. Two of the worst influences on the genre ever.
