Contessa Donatella

I continue to have faith in Frank. But, I don't know what you mean by puppets. Every HW has to get everything approved.

Well, things could change with a new guy leading the team but I believe they have too much invested in Sprina not to try to continue it.

Korte is into three people: Sonny, Carly, Jason & they are all prominent, well, Jason will be again just as soon as he's back. But, it's not because of her that they are prominent.

Yeah, I know. Apparently that's what Navell thinks. But, she's not. And, technically she is a Jason/Carly/Sonny lover.

Really, she's not. She's busy doing some important writing, the kind she likes to do. No change in her position, which is fine with her. If Frank can do it, ...

Fingers crossed for Patrick Mulcahey.

Oh, yeah, we cool wit it.

Oh, sorry.

No details given.

DAYS fans united behind the idea of a dead Clyde Weston! Sorry, James Read, you'll just have to find another gig.

And in the 90s at AW two fine actors won Emmys & then for their trouble they were let go by the show! Anna Kathleen Holbrook & Charles Keating! You can imagine theirs & ours as the fans, confused reaction at this slap in the face for their winning ways! I fervently wish that JFP had remained a Music Producer & accomplished the 80s trend of musical montages to close out special shows.

OMG, as an old English major I gotta say I love what you've done here. Okay, I know you meant infinite but infinitive bedrooms is a riot! Probably 3 of them, to, by & for!

Not just on SON either. Many places. SB still has a special place in my heart. I got a kick out of NLG's tribute. I think it's obvious that she'd like to be Julia when she grows up. Of course, my favorites were NLG & Lane Davies, Julia & Mason. Which is not to kick Kelly or Eden or Cruz in the teeth. I loved them, too. Also Augusta & Sofia & even Keith & Gina. My only regret is that so much time was wasted & I blame NBC for that because they promised the Dobsons unprecedented creative control & then refused to follow through on it. As a writer Bridget is one of my very favorites, my #2 after Pete Lemay. I quote lovingly from her obituary. "At Stanford, Bridget was celebrated for her trademark creativity and quirky intellect. Her Western Civilization final exam included a question about the cause of the Dark Ages. She wrote an 11-page answer from the point of view of a chicken." Good article, Errol. Glad you included Pierpaolo Dongiovanni. His interview Parts 1 through 6 are the best!

1991 Generations canceled. (2 years) 1993 Santa Barbara canceled. (9 years) 1995 Loving canceled. (12 years) 1995 The City started. 1995 P&G did an exec producer shuffle, sending each EP to another of 3 shows. 1997 The City canceled. (2 years) 1999 Another World canceled. (35 years) 1999 Passions started. 1999 Sunset Beach canceled. (3 years) I believe also that during the 90s each network daytime head changed. Adds up to lots of changes & lots of turmoil in soapdom.

That was scary. I do not like this John Black at all, not one bit. They were interesting. I feel like she is lying about not having any leftover feelings for Brady but she's lying to herself first so then of course she lies to Alex, too. Alex doesn't seem to know how to be a friend, or to let anyone else be his friend. Maggie looks to me like she is not seeing the forest for the trees. Because she doesn't want people treating her like a child she is not seriously considering their concerns & we know they're right! Another day with Albert Alarr as co-EP. Phooey.

I have a blog on streaming soaps. Here's how Sunset Beach reads: SUNSET BEACH owned half by NBC & half by Spelling. Spelling Entertainment, the tv catalog in its entirety is now owned by CBS. Does that mean that SUNSET BEACH is owned jointly by CBS & NBC? I saw where someone here posted that NBC had had nothing to do with the show since Susan D. Lee canceled it in 1999. But, they haven't posted in a good while. Is there anyone here posting who knows why NBC did they not pursue their half ownership? If indeed, that is true. Thanks.

I realized, with a start, the other day that what we need is for the other Sonny to travel from Port Charles, NY to Salem, IL just to put a hit out on Clyde. Then, of course, we will owe him, but under the circumstances, I think it will be worth it.

PTB changes too except I think ATWT had more HW changes, if that is even imaginable.

Susan Flannery got the part of Stephanie Forrester on the new half hour soap on CBS, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, and in its first review she got the only good line. "What was strikingly original from the start was the performance of Susan Flannery as Stephanie Forrester - a fascinating alabaster sphinx of a woman."

No, the other Ron Carlivati, the one so in love with bringing people on as new characters after 15 minutes has gone by since they played the old character! (You've heard of multi-faceted? We've got multi-flawed!) Elsewhere the question has been raised: How does Sexy Dex have time for all the sex when he is so busy changing hairstyles?

Thanks!

I was just thinking & this is off the wall & half DAYS & half GH but if Ron Carlivati had been writing for Gloria Monty BITD he wouldn't have called the rape a seduction, no, he would have killed off Luke & immediately brought Tony Geary on as a new character named Myron with short hair, granny glasses, sleeveless sweater vest, Argyle socks & carrying books of poetry & introduce him to Laura.

Part of that is because Richard Bloore always has to shop in the wrong season because the show is 6 months out of sync.
