Family (1976-1980)
Just pretend that was Nancy before the "corrective surgery," lol.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
That's incredible! Even "All in the Family" didn't enjoy that luxury in the '70's.

Granted, I wasn't a fan of Greenlee, regardless of who played her. But I definitely agree that Singh was treated very, very badly by a lot of people BTS. AT should've been fired and removed from the set the minute he had made that remark, regardless of how popular Aiden and Greenlee were.

Thanks for tagging me as well, @NothinButAttitude. I, too, am not surprised to read all that about Sabine Singh's time on AMC. (Leave it to Julie Hanan Carruthers to be concerned over whether the poor girl still wanted a farewell cake, lol). There was a time, I think, when AMC's was one of the most congenial sets in daytime. Somewhere along the way, however, that changed.

You're not alone, lol. Granted, I wasn't watching GH everyday at that point, because my 2 pm (CST) viewing time was split between GL and SaBa, but I did watch semi-regularly; and what I saw of Jenny, I found to be incredibly dull. Even the retcon with Senator Kensington, or whatever his name was, was just so dull.

BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
Ironically, I don't think there was anything gothic or supernatural about PASSIONS' opening. Watching that package, you think all you're getting, at best, is a modern-day "Peyton Place," which is what I suspected JER was going for at the start (with a few supernatural touches that would've been phased out over time) before either he or the network realized that that vision was not landing with the audience. It's not a bad idea, per se, but I don't believe BTG is as politically oriented as CAPITOL was.

Of course, I would have needed to de-age Andy slightly, so the relationship with Samantha wouldn't be too creepy (although, the age difference still would have been but one of many obstacles). Sometimes, though, it's just like what Bill Bell told his son, Bradley: it all begins with putting two names together on a piece of paper. Another idea I had was to introduce the now-grown Emily Mason (Norris) as an FBI agent and Gus Aitoro's ex-partner/ex-girlfriend. I would've toyed a bit with a Gus/Harley/Emily triangle, but my plan was to cement her as the new Bauer family matriarch (via marriage to Rick) and Springfield police chief. And yes, her mother, Janet, would have returned on a recurring basis, as a recovering alcoholic, like her mother, Ellen, before her.

Ugh, don't get me started on the "Matlock" reboot, lol. That has to be one of the most blatant bait-and-switches I've ever witnessed in all my years of TV watching. Angela Lansbury didn't need to speak out against Octavia Spencer, as I doing enough speaking out against her for everybody, lol.

Knots Landing
Now all I need is for Pluto TV to launch a KL channel and I can die a happy man, lol.

Murder, She Wrote
Universal attempted to revive the series several years ago with Octavia Spencer as Jessica, who would've been remade into a hospital administrator who self-published mystery novels on the side. Needless to say, Angela Lansbury spoke against it, and Universal ended up ditching the revival altogether.

It's probably what GENERATIONS' opening should've been and wasn't. But I could've done without the "L-O-V-I-N-G" part. Thank you, Jeffrey Osborne, but we know how the word is spelled. BTG is a brand-new soap for the 21st century, so any theme song for it should have hip-hop influences.

The expression on Angela Lansbury's face in that thumbnail says it all.

Right?? Plus, you have the fact that Andy was Holly's brother and Blake's uncle - and that Justin and Ross would have remembered Andy's prior bad acts only too well - and maybe you could see how a potential Andy/Samantha relationship might have impacted the Marler and Norris families.

Look, just about everyone here KNOWS how much I stan for Cady McClain - and no doubt, if she were to be cast as Julia, she'd rock it, like she's rocked every other role; and she'd end up taking home another Emmy, too - but if we're gonna put this notion out into the universe, could we PLEASE give her a NEW character to play? One that she could create from scratch? She's always been a recast in soaps, and it's just not fair, lol.

Murder, She Wrote
And they'll have her Jessica being pursued by an axe-wielding maniac at some point, because JLC is, after all, The Once and Future Scream Queen.
