But, what! I mean wait! When Sami & Eric were 12 was when they first brought them back to Salem from Colorado, wasn't it?! They didn't exist in Salem when they were 7! I don't think ... Lindsay Lohan is married! AW's Ally Fowler, daughter of Sam & Amanda!

Thank you so very much, Cat! I forgot to say the name of my favorite grief book: Grief Day By Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living with Loss Jan Warner This was my cat Ariel. She was in love with Lauren Bacall!

I thought maybe those Bradys but AW had Nicole Love so i just thought better to ask. Currently I wish Nicole were getting back with Eric. And, Salem is certainly populated with people who are related to each other! Of course, in the last several years of GL the second most popular couple, "JAmmy," were cousins so they were also a highly controversial couple.

Sure thing. It was easy to see how you had a valid question that had gotten a bit scrambled up & see clear to the real reply! As for Jensen at the end of the show, many people were very angry with her for taking advantage. Others just thought she was smart enough to get whatever she could out of her deal. I was involved with actors who were very concerned with the whole show, the fans, the crew members who were going to lose their jobs, etc. But, JB didn't want to last at ATWT, she had another job at GH that started before AW was even over! She said she didn't know that P&G had an exclusive deal with her. JFP hired her at GH & she would have had to know. The 'end of the world' was not tidy. As they say, we lived in interesting times.

Sure, you can always go with the buck stops here. That is not only a very old adage but it almost always has truth packed into it. Edit: Marissa, because of what you've said, I can't really tell if you're interested in more information should it become available, or even what else you might already know about, but what the hey, nothing to be lost here. So, Nic Coster had been gone for almost 3 years. While he was gone there were attempts made at settling issues. Those issues were about storylines. At about the 2½ yr point, they thought they'd got somewhere. However, when they went to actually do work again, oops, there was still a problem or problems. They hammered out more issues or the same issues. Just as they reached their point finally, it was - wouldn't you just know it - right as Louise Sorel was finished up & leaving. They paired Lionel with Gina. End of anecdotal information.

I loved that dialogue specifically & the whole episode's writing generally and a slow smile spreads slowly across the face instead of just going from no smile to full smile in 60, so to speak. I was just looking at David Martin, Jr. aka Bradley Banning on this fandom wiki https://daysofourlives.fandom.com/wiki/David_Banning?fbclid=IwAR3pDZ8-uHYCoxf7PNm9WBfQCoBQxH2tZkTSi_wgJISju9SQzUeiiHPekZQ and according to it David was born Jan. 28, 1958 & was reported dead in Feb. 2017 at the age of 59. And, age is as confusing as family in Salem.

Kimberly J. Brown Announces Engagement She was one of our Maura's. Now she's marrying one of her movie co-stars.

Margaret Pearson Moore Holmberg (Margi) b. Oct. 25, 1945 d. Jan. 10, 2022. Margi was my oldest best friend or my best old friend or my chosen sister. She had a big brother who died when she was only 12 but no sister. I had 2 brothers younger than I but no sister. We met in August of 1974 in Columbus, Mississippi, which was the only place where we ever both lived at the same time. We could be apart for an indefinite period of time & then see each other & pick back up as if we had left a conversation in midst just the night before. Back in the day before we had telecommunications miracles occur, we would run up horrendous phone bills. We were both writers so we wrote letters & notes. In more recent times as we are now with cell phones, we talked on the phone every day, just every single day. Margi had underlying health problems which is one of the reasons why she was all vaxxed up & boostered up. She lived in Mississippi near family that were anti-vaxxers. She had bad lungs although she was not on oxygen or anything & she was diabetic & she had fibromyalgia. Over the Christmas holidays, she came down with Omicron, as did her close family members, also. She was in the hospital & in 6 days it stole her away. I've processed 3 grief books & even taken notes on them. One of them I liked enough to read twice. For months I posted a daily message, "Dear Margi, Hey, Sis! Today I" but I quit it last month. I miss her. I hate Covid. Thnx for listening.

One of GUIDING LIGHT'S Maura's! I saw this & tweeted Congrats to her yesterday!

Goutman really screwed up with EF & just wasted her!

Boy, he can talk a good game! What an utter disappointment he was actually in the job. It's interesting that Ellen Weston had secured her job first. Other material had made it seem that he brought her on board.

I saw that & it was my first thought! Good Lord, what danger may lurk.

I gotta say that I love that description of RN!

Is there any basis to any of it? Or is it just a wild tear? Be great to hit with sheer stupid luck, wouldn't it?

Oh, Jesus! You could have had Sarah Joy Brown OR Christie!

It's Mike that I really have always missed. Of course, they were all good guys. And, I always really missed Carrie.

Yes, but is that cast all contract or mixed up, recurring and contract? Okay, Wally Kurth is in that graphic of the cast & he is not an exclusive player. (He works for both GH & DOOL & is not an exclusive player for either of them.) So, that means that's a mixed list, contract and recurring.

Nicole who? What Bradys? What show? Whoa, that is seriously screwed up. You're right. The first thing that happened is that Monty threw out a whole week of tape & started up one week back in time. Doug Marland's writing was what was the first saving element. Monty inserted story references into the show from B movie classics. She picked up the pace & made changes in editing, etc. The Ice Princess (sf/f) & L&L on the run both came later.

Okay, you & another poster have both said things about JFP that make me perk up because I keep files on certain PTBs and JFP is definitely one of them. In what way do you mean that those stories were hers? As opposed to being the HW's stories, etc. Did she fire any actors? Did she kill any actors off? Did she do something to get rid of Nic Coster? Was it intentional that Pearl was not at the wedding? Did she redo the show opening? Did she redo show sets? Was she involved in the negotiations where Robin Wright left to go do THE PRINCESS BRIDE? As to what an EP does, don't worry about it. Lots of clues. There are great ones & not so great ones. Thanks for any impressions you have of her time at the show!

No. No. Etc. More to come. Anne Heche was not asked back but she wouldn't have come. She loves AW & AW fans. She had just moved on. Cynthia Watros was Twin #4 but only for about 2 weeks while Jensen had some surgery. Strictly temp. Here's the story you're reaching for. JB didn't want to come back to work. She wanted to be at home with her young children. And, she most especially did not want to play both twins. They wanted her. She asked for perks & concessions. She got them. The show went without Marley for years. Meanwhile, Ellen Wheeler was ready, even avid, to come back & play both twins again. The show could have had her! Some idiot wanted JB even though she took advantage of the show at a bad time.

Who? JFF? JHC?

Oh, thnx for correcting that then. I misunderstood & thought it was a jointly done piece. Appreciate the 411. I still recommend it as an important read! Thank you for the correction. I mistook that.

The document entitled AW CREATION by Eddie Drueding & Lynn Liccardo & Elana Levine (2018) debunks more about the show than I've ever imagined could or would be ferreted out! http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/creation.htm And, it's a very interesting read, too!

I loved so many shows but AW was my first and foremost, my number 1 & still occupies that special spot in my heart & brain & we needed core family members back like crazy!

Wow. Well, what does that mean, I wonder! And, fill me in on JFP. When she was EP at SB, what did she do?
