But those are small families. I meant big soap opera tyle families. GH is like that right now with small group of families - not surprising since Guza is writing! I think Jim Reilly had a hand with those changes (more family members, slower pace). They didn't do well in any of the 3 years. They couldn't even pass their premiere week ratings, where as Passions beat their premiere week ratings in 18 months.

I loved SuBe, but I defiintely see the errors before they even aired: - "Unlike most daytime dramas, which tend to build their storylines around families and family rivalries, Sunset Beach is about young singles and couples who have been drawn to the town, and the relationships that emerge as the action unfolds." - "Sunset Beach is being written at a faster pace than traditional daytime dramas." Daytime is not primetime and people trying to write a primetime show in daytime.....well....we know the result.....it only last 3 years - and The City only lasted 2 years. Thanks for posting the article, Sylph.

Stone died of aids. No, Marty didn't work for ATWT. But you're right, the music during that period was very good.

Since there are more composers, of course Marty's doing a handful of themes. The ones i really noticed are the piano cues. They sound a lot like Marty's. "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">

We have different philosophies about soap opera I guess.

You didn't? LOL I've been raving about Marty Davich for years now. Yeah, I pay attention to the music. I love background music. I download tv/film scores that I love. I think B&B has one of the worse BG music. I hate the saxaphone cues especially. B&B's music is so cheesy. There's nothing beautiful or sad or haunting or dramatic. It's just.....horrible. LOL Y&R's very good with the drama and tension and suspense. It's hard to believe B&B/Y&R share the same composers. They're so good at one show while sucking at another show.

In 2005.

I actually love OLTL's BG music because it's so dark and gothic. David Nichtern and Lee Holdridge have been there since 1992. I love them! That's no surprise. She used to be a music supervisor for GH (70's) and SB (early 80's) Yeah, it was probably Shelley. He arrived in 1993. I also have him at DAYS in 1994. One of the best themes ever! Oh you're right. Now they just play the beginning part of that.

Here's another example. At 3:10, Roman's theme (that's what I call it, I don't know if it was actually his theme) kicks in. I love this piece!! Another example of Roman's theme.....10 years later. It kicks in at 6:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYYAvG1o0k

He still composing for GH too. Example of Marty's greatness: "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">

I wonder what happened. Did JFP stupidly fire him or did JHC steal him away?

I missed the match but yay, Justine!! She totally deserves after between both Williams sisters back-to-back. Oh and I just her backhand......it's so good. Tomorrow's men's finals should be very good. Djokovic beat Federer just a few weeks ago, but it's not going to happen again.

I know!! And for what? A hockey tourny that nobody cares about. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, but this is a nothing tourny. Booooooo TSN!!

Yup.

There's a great match going on right now between Djokovic and Monaco! I've never seen a ball fall out of someone's pocket before......and it happened twice! Of all my years of playing/watching tennis, I never knew that you lost a point of the ball falls out of your pocket twice.

Great match betwwen Blake/Haas. 5th set tie breaker! Blake has 3 match points and blew it. I had no idea Tommy Haas was dating Sarah Foster - good for him!

Maria!!!!!!!!!! Nooooo!!!!!!!!

Fantastic match! I hope to see more of these 12am 5 setters.

That was a great game.

It sure is! I hope Santoro isn't too injured - I want to see a full set played out.
