  3. We have Mr & Mrs. Smith unless we got rid of it. Jolie & Pitt are good in it.
  4. Very true about Caso! Boy, did she ever! Very true about Laurence Caso!

  8. Was this right after the "fruit basket turnover"? when the positions of the 3 different EPS was flipped?
  9. "On daytime" I came from prime time, and originally I had very little understanding of daytime. When you look at it, it seems to be a little bit slower, so there tends to be criticism in that regard. But the reason it appears slower to someone used to nighttime is because its stories are told in real time. It is slower because the characters are living life in that moment. Daytime drama does not limit its range of emotions, or its scope of storytelling. We are only limited by what we can do in a studio, and I have found that we can do pretty much anything. The story must have a heart, a soul, and a purpose, whether its adventure-driven or issue-oriented. Daytime must reach deep inside the viewer's heart and enable a person to connect with the characters. The audience wants a personal, human connection, and when they get it, they are devoted. --Wendy Riche, Executive Producer, GENERAL HOSPITAL. THE MUSEUM OF TELEVISION & RADIO WORLDS WITHOUT END THE ART AND HISTORY OF THE SOAP OPERA (1997) Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Speaking of Wendy Riche, who I have just quoted here, why in the world did they fire her?! It seems to me that she was such a success for them.
  10. Thank you, kind sir. I loved Riche, but I was always leery of Guza.
  11. Who was in charge when Elizabeth's rape happened?
  12. LOL, yes, you put me in my place there. 🎃 Although my own family always felt like we were Hortons!
  13. We-ell, that is one way to put it. Besides all of that, it also included its being a familial storyline because Mickey & Bill & Laura & Tom & Alice & Mike himself were all related to each other.
  14. Bill Bell and Pat Falken Smith both wrote things that I have notated as ??controversial??. The amount of time that DOOL let go by - from Mike's birth till he was a teen - without having the reveal was atrocious!
  15. Well, I can't get Google Groups to load it for me but there's a post from McAmy about Luke going too far.
  16. Good for Leslie Charleson! I knew that when we had Lucky deal with it that they seemed to try to make it better. Do you think that's why they did Elizabeth's rape? To use it as a means of fixing the past?
  17. I think that they said. There used to be someone on RATS, who went by MacAmy who was a huge Luke & Laura scholar. She posted about it & she indicated that they seemingly were themselves convinced of it! IOW, that they convinced themselves that it was a seduction & not a rape. I think that whoever wrote on DOOL where Bill Horton came into the doctor's lounge, drunk one night, when he & Mickey both were in love with Laura, and raped Laura, that they never said why they let it be a rape. They just let Bill be helpless, Mickey be sterile, only Tom & Laura know that Mickey was sterile & hold out till Mike was a teen before they did the reveal that Bill was actually his father. I'd like to know what any of these writers said.
  18. You put the sci-fi element of the Freezing of Port Charles ahead of Luke's rape on the disco floor? I still can't hear that song without having feelings of being ill. Of course Monty wasn't the only one to do a "Is it rape or was it seduction?" storyline. We have to add in Bill Bell, Pat Falken Smith, etc. and maybe more. I was watching what they did to Susan Hunter on DOOL as a teenager, with my mother, and what they did to Laura Horton, same way, etc. And we were sure of what we had seen and they had not been seductions! They were rapes plain & simple!
  19. I mean to go looking for Thompson Twins; Peter, Paul & Mary's Mary singing Follow Me; early WHAM; Steve Miller Band's The Joker; George's Chameleon Club; Joan Baez's last album Diamonds & Rust; ... Doctor, Doctor https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-adk-adk_sbnt&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbnt&hspart=adk&p=youtube.com+Thompson+Twins#id=1&vid=1ed19e87c84d2942afc76d565a0c51d8&action=click Mary Travers sings Follow Me https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrVq7Hvg5xdmD0AZR0PxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByNWU4cGh1BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=mary+travers+follow+me&fr=yhs-sz-001&hspart=sz&hsimp=yhs-001#id=1&vid=bbfe34ca0f92fdfeb444330532c4a2bc&action=view Mary Travers died Sept., 16, 2009, RIP
  20. Crack me up! I lived in Prospect Heights for 7 years in the 2000s. Lots of actors & writers lived in Park Slope, etc.
  21. Quoted: Ricky Paull Goldin and Yasmine Bleeth on an Irish chat show. Speaking of RPG, I feel so sorry for him. His partner has cancer. He's devoting himself full time to her.
  22. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLxyftmauTQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4nL_Sb91Gw They used to provide Victoria with a car & a driver. Sometimes Charles rode with her. When they were together, they ran lines during the ride. When she was by herself she was reading scripts &/or writing scripts. I don't know if people realize it but Vicky & Charles wrote for the show & worked with the younger cast members on their lines. Especially Maggies, of which there were 3. One Maggie was helpless. She just draped herself on the furniture, not really capable of doing any acting. She should have been employed as a model, not an actor. But, they tried to help, no matter what the level was. A-yes! I say again that she went from zero to bitch in 60 seconds! Gyah, I loved Donna.
  23. I have this on DVD & it is so oodly scrumptious! Special thanks to Eddie & other fans who came up with the clips to have it made. Wiping had done its due. This is the best of JB. I could do without JB except for the Ryan & Vicky in heaven stuff. Really, two days. MDP loved writing serial killers & rapits. David O'Brien could act anything that was writte for him. Easy to imagine! Poor Val Du Four. Great list watson. Is anyone aware of any vido clips of the KBAY Telethon or the "special" shows like Murder on the Orient Express? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcEWmeAD1rQ July 4th Telethon Part 1
  24. Another thing I've read about Monty is what she did first & that was re-light the show. If the set were all dark when she got there & the ratings were in the toilet, then, you know, morale was abysmal when she came on. I've always wondered if that "smart cookie" exec in the movie TOOTSIE was an intentional homage to Monty.
