I am not usually unbending but with Santa Barbara, I am. Lane Davies is my only Mason. Robin Wright is my only Kelly. If they had ever recast Julia, I possibly would have had a fit!

2 BTS photos, you may have seen them, just a little fun ... Genie & Finola reach to clink glasses Finola, Kristina & Lynn laughing together

Well, then, yes, that was the exact same time frame. I can honestly imagine Julia in Bay City!

The only thing about Stephanie v. Brooke is that in a way it was also a lovefest. I don't think that is the case with any of these others.

Very interesting idea!

AFAIK it's not a rumor but a fact. I read it as a quote in an interview. All I know is that it was to have happened shortly after they were done with Santa Barbara. So, I came up with "Jan. 1993." When was the rumor about Julia & Mason? These are some notes I took in conversation with Patrick Mucahey last year. Typed them up last night. Patrick Mulcahey Bad dialog could be good dialog if there's little enough of it. Father/son relationships Conflict between fathers & sons is unavoidable because one party wants independence & one party wants power. He adored Mason & couldn't do or say enough about the character. Loves to have 2 people alone in a room & we get to eavesdrop on what they say. What was his favorite dialog that he got to write? After the Dobsons came back, they asked me to do 2 dinner party scenes & they turned out really well. Jerry has his very own style & he learned from him! He had moved to San Francisco to write plays & wait tables. Bridget called him & hired him. In the summer of 1984, people began to die. He knew he needed to keep his health insurance. He said he was too slow, too stubborn & too much a perfectionist. Not only that, but he poured everything he had into every single script because he didn't know how long he would be alive to finish writing it. Bridget & Jerry had so much faith in him. Mason & Julia Eden & Cruz: It was never intended to put them together. She flounced off & he tackled her. Writing for Justin Deas. The secret is that the writer gets to speak through these people. He begins hearing people talk & then writes down what they say. Is there anything you'd like to redo? In soaps the scriptwriter doesn't get to say what the show will say. Focus groups & research are both a blessing and a curse. I forgot to type in this: He & Marcy Walker had been to a play read through & after they walked together, somewhere, and a car drove up beside them & people screamed, "DIE, LIZA, YOU BITCH!"

Alright then I misunderstood, so I retract my entire reaction.

To me fan campaigns have little in common with fan wars. I have no idea what you are talking about "Disney-adults." But I completely disagree that fan campaigns are childish or immature. Fan wars, sure, they are. I do happen to agree with you when it comes to some unusual fan activity when they are trying to take credit for what is actually the show's actions. Now here, I don't understand your point about opposite opinions in debate. In constructive discussion & debate a whole range of opinions can be accounted for.

There is no way that from the outside one could know what they do or do not know. That's why I said it was an assumption. Saying that someone is delusional when you don't know anything about what they do or do not know or even intend, to me, smacks of some fans trying to judge other people's fandom. There is a long history of fans communicating to shows about what they want to see. Are we now to think that all of those fans providing feedback have all been suffering under some mental defect? Having delusions is a serious psychological issue. It's not the same as saying you think someone's efforts are misguided. Delusions go hand in hand with hallucinations.

I think that is offensive. I believe they happen to have some measure of faith in fan campaigns, still. You're really jumping to a conclusion to call names this way.

Twitter/X is throwing a Twitter Blast Thurs. 1-11 to try to get them to bring back Bope! All are invited to join in.

I've been watching & waiting to see if anyone was going to notice a little something. So, now, you can Monday morning quarterback it! The show used a Guest Director, someone who works for Disney. He directs DWTS & awards shows. Not at all familiar with Daytime. Frank had to fight him to keep in the Bob Miller classic wedding gown sequence. Discuss!

I like in no particular order 1. Harley dancing, 2. Buzz Greek dancing & 3. Only Love Can Save the World.

Babies! When we just celebrated an EON date I posted a picture of Sharon Rose Gabet that is the youngest I've ever seen, so of course she came to the forum that day. She said she calls pictures like that "Baby Raven". We had a good laugh. Same has happened in the past with very very young pix of Maureen Garrett & of Ellen Wheeler.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just pair Binks & Laura? Or, as we called her, Swiffer Head? And, Laura was so boring that she couldn't have possibly been anything but helped by making her queer!

Yep. That was the day my mother had to decide between ATWT and DAYS.

ME TOO! Also that they had an absurd corporate WAR in the middle of the show's run. No show could get past how horrible that is, overall. I will never stop thinking that NBC was just totally foolish not to just fire Anne Howard Bailey.

I concur. I am wondering if she has left UglyX. I loved that Sara Bibel said as a child she wanted to grow up to be Bridget.

AW Rachel v Iris AW Rachel v Alice AW Vicky v Lisa

Oh, but, it is such black humor. Who would kill off a character by having a giant letter C fall on them?

Yep. Looks like it.

Apparently not, although he wrote some stuff that is yet to air, of course.

They definitely were on message their rape vs. Luke raping Laura, yes, that's clear. Been articles about it, etc. NLG tribute to Bridget on her IG

Okay, I'll hold onto a good thought then.

Wait. Hold on. Are Rita Bauer & Rita Stapleton the same person? Who is Rita Bauer?
