Maybe it's just me but you keep bringing up this frying food in an iron skillet & I don't get what the punishment is. At first I thought you were going to hit them over the head with the skillet. But, it's not that. Personally I'd prefer Sloane to just go away.

https://gratefulness.org/light-a-candle/ I just lit a virtual candle for Anne Heche at this website. I would invite anyone else who wishes to, to do so. Anne Celeste Heche b. May 25, 1969 d. Aug. 11, 2022.

Chanel chooses Allie Chanel chose Allie on July 29th, so that's been .... 2 months ... okay 2.5 months.

Stacy? Not even Stacy-Who-Is-NOT-Eileen? Don't get me wrong, I don't care for the Stacy version myself. I like the real Kristen.

Yes, thnx. You'd be surprised how much wrong there is out there. I recounted earlier & elsewhere how Patrick Mulcahey says both his IMDb page & his Wikipedia page are so wrong that he's asked them to take them down! He even told me about some AW credits he's entitled to that show up nowhere! This is why I check things like this, compulsively, about 6 times from as many different places as can be found to check. When I think about the great body of information that is available because of the Internet, I am encouraged. No one has to learn the Periodicals Index or the card catalog anymore. But, the errors, OY. And, if anyone has their appetite whet for one of Mac's famous toasts: http://anotherworldhomepage.com/misc8.html Meanwhile perhaps I should begin to think of a blog on Errol's & Toups' SON speeches! Ya think?

Okay, if that is so, it is in print in error, which as we know is very possible. But, definitely thanks for the heads up, Paul. And, Joe, still thnx for the background info!

Well, she's thinking of this as a gift for her beloved, and a gift can go lots of ways. And, she's thinking what if Chanel is missing something & Chanel says she is not, so is that a Lose/Win? And, what if its a disaster & Chanel finds it endearing?

No, she didn't. She directed soaps & made for TV movies. "She directed the soaps THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS, a failure, THE SECRET STORM, for 15 years, and BRIGHT PROMISE, another failure. In 1978 she was promoted to Executive Producer o ..." What difference does it make when Leslie Charleson was hired? I believe that yes she was already an employee but it has no bearing on anything. It's moot. Now, when Doug Marland was hired would pertain. When was he hired? Him as HW is considered important in all stories about what went on at GH at this time & knowing when he started could only enhance info. His importance is going to stand no matter who hired him.

Okay, not Mac, Gatsby.

Thnx for all the info that fills in other reports! Monty did the unheard of & threw out a whole week of tapes! That's according to CSchemering. More from me: I'm almost done with a new blog on Gloria Monty. I keep getting done & then finding out more info. It's a delightful way to be frustrated. I had reliable information that when word came down from whoever decided that they were going to rebrand the rape a seduction, that (1) Doug Marland quit his job over it. (2) Pat Falken Smith was 100% against it but it didn't come down to her job for some unknown reason. (Probably that she had to pretend to support it.) (3) Lesley Charleson went on a morning talk show & revealed that the show was doing this. (4) Genie Francis literally became ill one day over it. Etc. Does anyone here happen to know the truth?

Alright, I've gone all the way back to page 724 from page 729 post by post looking for the question about Beverlee in brown hair. I've not found it. Anyway, information floats so I'm just going to post it here. Scott McKinsey Yes. I assume you’re referring to the GL period when HB was wooing Alexandra. My mom had a bad reaction with her hair coloring dye, and literally lost some of her hair! So, she wore a wig until her hair grew back. Why she chose brown vs blonde, I don’t recall I thanked Scott & commiserated with Beverlee because it is NO FUN when your hair product turns on you! Scott's very comfortable discussing her with us, with us adoring her & everything.

That is funny to me because I thought that, too! Then, when confronted with the two different dates I was just gob-smacked. LOL I couldn't figure that out at all! Thnkx Joe for the explanation. Here I was thinking that they were mistreating OLTL when actually they were giving it its best shot because it was up against both CBS's toughest competition and NBC's toughest competition! (at that time) 2 p.m. was just the time to beat! And, oh, yeah, I will definitely look for those interviews! Thnx again.

Some people say that he & Irna Phillips were the only people to deal with all 3 broadcast networks. I am suspect of that so I figure what it really means is that they were the first, which I do believe to be accurate. And, he accumulated so much power! Of course, he was big into the network where he was for each tenure during what was called 'the network era'. He conceived of the two 45 min. shows making up a 90 min. block. He did one thing that I do not understand. Here's what he did with OLTL & GH: OLTL 30 to 45 July 26, 1976 45 to 1 hr Jan. 16, 1978. GH 30 to 45 July 26, 1976 45 to 1 hr Dec. 1, 1975 Why did he leave OLTL at 45 for 2 extra years?

Love love love hearing the story & October dates just happen to be my favorites! Congratulations & may there be many more to come!

I am one who has always grieved the loss of something we might've had that we did not have. And, that was the implied promise of a romance of Young Michelle & young Bill, specifically Rachel Miner & Bryan Buffington as a couple. The only thing I was ever told, or read, or heard, etc. was that they were impatient to push Michelle on into an older sexuality & were not willing to wait to allow Rachel Miner to organically grow into young womanhood. And, so they recast Michelle & that, that was the step they took that fouled up everything for those of us who had great hopes pinned on those two. Naturally, I'd be interested in hearing anything about it.

Of course! Thnx. Just hit my first thought & didn't go any further. 😂😂 Not long ago, earlier this year, I dug up some information about who thought what about the rape being rebranded as a seduction. PFS was that she was dead set against it, but the order came down & it would've meant her job, ... makes for interesting thinking about the situation it put her in. One yr GH paid her a cool mil. One year her contract had a line item "bonus" of $35,000 for "creative thinking." Oh, and supposedly she told Bill Bell that he could never put Laura & Bill together later & he just told her to wait & see.

Too soon! Not yet! Sit a spell.

By all means use poppers & get lucky & get a headache extra!

Today was Peacock Day 20 & it was Friday & I think there oughta be a rule that Friday is not boring. Let some other day be boring. On Friday we don't have a new show for simply days. I have a bone to pick with Stephanie. My first even hint of displeasure with the new girl. But what in the world was she doing patting Chad's hand repeatedly?! (And why does the camera give that a close-up?!) He's a grown man. You're a grown woman. Hand patting might have some meaning, ya think?! Knock it off.

I knew there would be an explanation & I suspected it might lean in the direction of promoting what's promotable! Just so. Thnx for catching me up!

WOW Love it! Linda Patterson, Wes, littlest Shawn D the Sailor Man, Andrea, where's Mary Hart? What fun! Both Don Craig & Neil Curtis n place & not lost a'tall!

On 10/5/2022 at 8:25 PM, MarlandFan said: Great actor, wrong part. And the timing for his character was bad because headwriter Doug Marland passed away before he could guide the Royce multiple personality story to its natural conclusion. Between Neal's untimely death and the anti-climactic way Lucinda discovered Neal and Royce were her half-siblings, the storyline kept missing the mark. And, while beautiful, the actress playing Emily (Royce's love interest) never generated any heat with her male co-stars. That being said, Royce eventually left the canvas to focus on his emotional healing AND to spare Emily any future hurt that she was certainly destined to experience by being married to him. So, yes, was Marland trying to fix what GL EP Potter had prevented his doing with the complete "3 Carries" storyline with Jane Elliot? Did he make Royce into another chance at it?

Thank you. I wonder if he ever worked with Chandler.

DOOL F 10-7-22 EJ is at the door where both Ava & Johnny are waiting outside to be let in. He did invite them both to move back in. They let them bring them in. They're moving back in & got to keep their minds off of sex. Each wants their own room. Not sharing. Sonny is on the phone to Will. Home from the hospital. Alex is annoying him. Alex says he'll have CEO changed back to him. He says Titan would take a beating if they change CEOs again! Stephanie is finished working & says she couldn't have gotten it all done without Chad's help. How does he life working for SJPR. Chanel checks to make sure she is in the right apt. Just making sure. Now, did I just hear you tell me that you want us to have a 3-some with Alex Kiriakis? Is this coming up because you're worried I missed out on something with Brady? Or Johnny? Chanel says she is puzzled. Allie says we talked about this. Chanel says you are springing it on me. Sonny says he's sorry that he shouldn't have snapped at Alex. This separation makes things harder. Alex says that he & Will are lucky guys because you're getting what you need in the way of companionship from each other. You've got Will & Ari. I think I need you to give me advice on my love life. Well, you haven't actually been afraid to add. Stephanie declares it a day of celebrations. Gets champagne. EJ, come in. Just put your things down & I'll get Henderson to make up a room for you. Ava points out that they want separate rooms. EJ is perplexed. Ava just lost her husband & it will take some time before she's ready to launch out into the school? Are we safe here? Paulina is pleased with campaign doings. She's also glad to see Abe, who has just walked in. They embrace & kiss. Paulina says she hopes that Stephanie brought Chad on board. Back to Chad & Stephanie he asks what his title is, haha. . SJPR ... she doesn't know. Her brothers are texting her every hour to ask about Kayla. She wishes she could just tell them the truth. Well the meeting is done. Do nothing. She's not interested in you. Back to Chanel & Allie. Okay, Chanel asks if this idea about a 3some has anything to do with Jhonny. Is it a pretext? Back to Alex. Maybe he should send Stephanie some flowers. Alex, says Sonny, that is a funeral joke. Alex has an idea. She doesn't work with anyone she is dating so he will fire her. Sonny says that won't work & you kknow it. So he says he will quit. Sonny is getting exasperated with him. Alex says that Justin's world was okay because he had Mom. Paulina says she has had better days. She is worried about Kayla, Marlena & Kate. Ava says she put the brakes on. Recently when she lost Jake, her husband she just wasn't ready. Allie says that yes, some is because of Johnny. . Chanel asks her if she is missing having sex with men. Allie says that she is not missing anything. Chanel says she has found happiness in a loving monogamous relationship with Allie. Allie says that this would just be sex. Not any feelings. Sonny tells Alex that he absolutely cannot terminate Stephanie. And he says No does not mean maybe. Alex says again that he could always quit. Sonny shows him how they can't use less of the plant than they are. Alex is going to go get some kind of hot dog from Julie's Place. Sonny wants 6. EJ is going to the wine cellar. Hmm. EJ doesn't do anything unless there's something in it for him. EJ said it was wrong of him to jump to conclusions.He shoul dhave known Johnny would not take advantage of Ava. Abe explained about the 3women being poisioned by the toxin. Paulina said that if a fortune teller had told her that would happen she would not have blieve dit. Poor John & Steve & Roman. Slaon showsed up to see Paulina. Abef left. Sloan says she has info from a certain clinet that would ruin Paulina's chances in the election. But i's not about Paulina. It's about Chanel. EJ brings Ava a framed marriage certificate but ssy that the signature of Jake is a forgery & she is NOT a Dimear. Stephanie & Chad kiss.
