Quinn Redeker and Joe La Due returned to set to celebrate Jeanne's 30th anni as Katherine

Re Guiding Light They were exploring TJ being Ann Jeffers son. That didn't happen, so maybe it was just a plot point. Re GH Now the Hollands are in charge, they have married Leslie and Cam, written off Joel and introduced the Laura story along with the Chandlers.

I hate those ' man arranges fashion show for his lady ' scenes- or any of those scenarios where the male takes control and organizes stuff and the woman is supposed to be enthralled and grateful. But I guess its what they thought the women in the audience wanted to see and I suppose they were right.

Judging by those shots you would have thought that Jack, Carla and Viki were getting married. The bride and groom did not get any close up/intimate shots that you would expect to see in a soap wedding. I wonder if Ellen Holly's dislike of Arthur Burghart came into play with this?

Marland dropped Frank and Maggie almost immediately (breaking his own rules) I think Frank Runyeon had signed a 1 yr contract to continue as Steve and P&G were clamping down on this, so I think Marland was pretty sure that Runyeon would be gone when the year was up and wrote towards this.

#3 Not having James Reynolds and Debbi Morgan there from the beginning

Generations made so many mistakes getting off the ground. #1 Making an ice cream company the family business,

I'm pretty sure that today's show's aren't given 12 hours to tape an episode.

Jed Allan/Don was regarded as too old and probably too expensive... And 80's Days didn't care much for 70's Days. Tom/Alice, Mickey/Maggie and Neil only survived the decade and when Mike returned he was totally different character.

Yes don't know what happened there.

Days spent years building up Don and Marlena then they had the child that died, Marlena was raped, Don cheated with Liz etc Normally obstacles that would lead to them being re-united but Roman came along and the writing changed to push them that pairing. I'm sure a lot of Don/Marlena fans felt annoyed. And then years later the same thing happened when Roman was sacrificed to John/Marlena...

Whatever happened to Wisner Washam. When did he depart? Did he fall or was he pushed?

Further to discussion of NBCs problem with affiliate clearance of their soaps SPW published an article about the debut of Sunset Beach and affiliates. Houston (10th largest market) UPN affiliate KTXH will air SB at 10am b/w repeats of 90210 and Dr Quinn. The NBC affiliate KPRC airs Days @1 and AW @ 2. Dallas/Fort Worth (8th largest market) NBC affiliate KXAS moved AW to its sister station KXTX/39 to make room for SB. Detroit (9th largest) NBC affiliate WDIO opted not to pick up SB. A subsequent deal with the FOX affiliate WJBK fell through.

Similar to Rauch at AW - Rauch /Lemay was feted but the minute Lemay left Rauch floundered and ratings plunged. A good exec producer is vital to delivering the writers vision in an attractive package but 'if it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage'

It seems to be a budget thing dropping all those supporting characters but surely an occasional appearance by a recurring character would be doable. Just drop Kevin again and use that money. Same with servants. Someone at the Newmans and Abbotts - they don't even have to be speaking parts...

Re GL Interesting to see what the Dobsons do upon arrival. It seems that Ken and Janet were already on the way out under Cenedella. That left room for the Dobsons to bring in (so far) Andy Norris, Hope Bauer, Chad Richards and Ann Jeffers. 2 newbies and 2 characters tied to established families. At this point Seems that Chad will provide story for Leslie and Hope. Andy will be a troublemaker, too soon to see what their plans for Ann were.

First off Congrats to Jaida - some stunning looks throughout the season and a funny likeable queen. Ru's serial killer masks were just plain weird. Going in it was b/w Jaida and Gigi. Crystal was great but too quirky and not as polished up against those two. OK Face lipsync Gigi was clear winner , even using her eyelashes as Michelle stated. Crystal's makeup was messy and made it hard to make out her expressions and those yellow teeth !! Jaida did a fine job. Home made video. Crystal was madness with the bird theme but she should have moved to a full reveal in some bird costume than just the puppets all the way through. Gigi's was incredible with the costumes. filming and tribute to the original clip. Jaida just pushed the sofa to one side of the room and the Ciara song was pretty ordinary. Final lipsync Again Crystal's look was cluttered and distracted from the lipsync .The song didn't suit her . Gigi slayed it with the costume change Jaida to me was up to her usual standard but nothing we hadn;t seen before. So I was a little surprised to have Ru announce Jaida as the winner. Methinks that Gigi didn't represent what Ru (and the producers) want the show to represent. The narrative constantly pushed is that the show is some sort of touchstone that changes lives and provides inspiration for the vulnerable and marginalized. Gigi was a confident, talented , priveleged queen with supportive mom. Not the struggle that Ru wants to present.

re Kay Campbell Her role on Romance of Helen Trent was Alice Nolan Some more radio roles for these Hoppers Esther Ralston - Big Sister 1940 Ethel Everett Remey - I day replacement for Esther Ralston Woman of Courage 1942 - Hearts in Harmony 1942 Les Tremayne had 2 stints on Helen Trent as 2 separate characters in 1933 and 1942 Ed Prentiss - also announcer for The Guiding Light (at least 1943) - Right to Happiness - Backstage Wife Leon Janney - Stella Dallas 1943 Mary Patton - Lone Journey 1943 Elspeth Eric - Second Husband Eric Dressler - Stella Dallas Joan Wetmore - This Life is Mine Irna Phillips - Road of Life

No that was Winifred Wolfe I believe with Penny played by Pheobe Dorin. When Amy came in, under Irna ,it was without Penny,

Sandy Dennis was on GL and I read she was fired after her first ep!
