All of this Burton Armus stuff is too good to be true. And then to add to it, people are hitching their rumors to the main BA rumor "Oh, ALB is off helping Burton write his bible!"

What the hell? Even Jackie was like :unsure:

So I'm just going to continue believing that Frons will let Megan run the show into the ground. Anyone who remembers any of McTavish's previous runs KNOWS that the woman goes into burnout and her stories get haywire about 1/4 into her second year. She's just not good.

R.. please believe please... i love your posts... And i want you to beleive that we will get back AMC..

Jackie said earlier on this same thread, about the first thing done is the emails get stopped.. Jackie also thought the timing was right.. I know Agnes thought it would be October, but Jackie address that first with buying out the contract..

I have to believe that Frons would choose us, against keeping MMTrash. I have to believe that fans for daytime that are the most loyal,hardcore, smart and adorable will win out.

I have to say that DOOL fans are so lucky, after reading what is in store for that show.. I find myself thinking that is going to be fun to watch..

With a new HW.. I could be cloud nine.. not just on it..

anyhow.. I love all your posts...

I still think, if this is all true, that it will be October. We might hear something sooner but there's usually a delay between the announcement and the start date. Julie Carruthers becoming the EP was announced a long time before she (officially) started.

Honestly I'm still hearing Megan is happily writing away but who knows.......

Staff writer Amanda L. Beall. A poster here claims she and Stephen Demorest are working with Burton on the new story bible.

Jackie's the expert. But yeah they can be bought out.

I didn't think it happened that often though, they like to get their $ worth. When Megan was let go from AMC in '99 they even moved her to OLTL for the remainder of her contract (and of course she managed to snag the top spot there and went on to destroy both OLTL and GH lol)

I should also add some people say that McT doesn't even have cycles in her contract anymore. So the next legal out would be April of next year! That would be alot of money.

Thanks for replying, Agnes!

I can't stand to watch AMC anymore as long as McT is writing it. I've been a loyal fan since 1980, but the current storylines are so bad that I'm ff-ing through some days the entire show.

If the Armus news doesn't come out tomorrow, I'll be taking a break from AMC until ABC makes the announcement. I can't stomach the thought of McT still writing the show until April 2007!

    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role

    • I do think Ben should come back. I think Max Bowden is all wrong for Ben.
    • Thank you, been waiting so long for this, and I appreciate how much work it is typing this all out and creating the charts for us!
