Yes I posted the text on Page 131.

Y&R Liz Foster Liz should have been appearing all those years and not killed off for the awful reveal. Obviously if the actress was not well enough to appear then perhaps a death is a appropriate but not for that storyline. Dina Mergeron. A poorly told story instead of bringing back Dina as a role model for a dynamic relevant older woman.

I think skanky is the correct word here...

Doug Cramer has been known in the trade as the father of Peyton Place and I once asked him if he wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to the American public. To the contrary, Doug believed then and believes now that a nighttime soap opera of the caliber of England's Coronation Street is healthy television. He was saying the other day that if Peyton Place had held to the daytime serial concept rather than try to be Playhouse 90 and develop relevant drama, it would still be on the air. As to the fiasco that was The Survivors. Cramer said: "It had the seeds of its own destruction built into it. A serial must deal with characters an audience can identify with. Who identifies with a jet-setter? And being carefully nurtured among the various Cramer projects is a new nighttime serial, or soap opera, which is being developed out of Peter Gilman's best-selling novel about Hawaii, Diamond Head. With Cramer, it was a certainty another Peyton Place was in the making. Doug said the project (for CBS) is a long way from fruition, that it is not even planned for next season. He said the plans are to develop it as an hour-a-week continuing story, though he personally prefers the twice-a-week half-hour Peyton Place form. "The Hawaiian setting is interesting to Americans." he said. "Look how tourists flock there! The story is of a family with problems one can readily relate to. I don't understand why the serial form is so little regarded. The Forsythe Saga was a serial. I personally think All in the Family is a serial, the Dick Van Dyke Show is a serial.

Jacquie Courtney was on OLTL for years with no mention of difficult to work with (of course there was the matter of sleeping with the boss...) The shakeup at Days is fascinating in the choices made. By writing in all the new characters in a matter of days and then pretty much pivoting the story towards them seems a recipe for disaster. Really Kellam and his assistant Max should have been introduced and left the audience wondering what their motives might be. Have them connect with various characters over the course of a few weeks. then bring in either Tod or Liz. If Donna had have stayed around she could have met Tod and the audience wouldn't know for a while that he was Kellam's son. Slowly bring on the newbies while keeping known characters front burner. Maybe some exits should have been delayed eg Bill and Laura so they get a proper goodbye. Perhaps Jordan could have been revealed to have a connection to the Chandlers. He'd been around for a while and not much was known about his background and audiences might have been more interested than atotal newbie like Joshua. The other puzzling thing to me was making Kellam and Max roughly the same age and therefore adding two more over 40 characters. Why not have Max be a hotshot younger guy? Same with Joshua- Stephen Brooks was 38 - why not make Josh 28? Liz could have been younger also. Days needed younger characters at that point, especially that Laemmle ignored Mike and David pretty much

Kings Crossing debuted on a night when NBC had one of the lowest rating nights in recent network history at that time. But it was CBS that took advantage airing Disney 'Tales of the Apple Dumpling Gang' at 8 and ranking 10th for the week (23.6/37) And its movie 'Help Wanted Male' ranked 3rd (28.6/47) NBC aired 2 specials Alice at the Palace (with Meryl Streep) 5.2/8 ranking 69th and 'Caruso Remembered' 3.3/5 70th and lowest ranked for the week. In the middle was the 90 min Kings Crossing premiere on ABC 17.1/27 and a 90 min Fantasy Island rpt 16.3/27 So not a bad sampling but viewers were not interested and the ratings fell each week. ABC had a history of poor performance in that timeslot despite Love Boat and Fantasy Island dominating the 9 and 10pm timeslots. They had better luck with Kings Crossings replacement TJ Hooker.
