I read this book, and actually liked it... I just hope they don't get in a habit of doing more ATWT books.

It would have been great it they had Lisa doing a book dishing all the dirt about everyone in Oakdale...She's always in the 'know' and it would have been wonderful to see her on a cover.

I still don't understand why the show dropped the OC storyline so quickly. It started off good, but then when they revealed that Katie was the writer, I was like, "Okay, so she's just lying and covering for someone else..." but that was it!

Maybe the writers didn't expect the book to do as well as it did (I was really surprised that it was #1 on Amazon.com and on the Best-Sellers list myself), and just dropped it b/c it was only supposed to be used to advertise the book and not as a major storyline.

The only good part that came from it was the scene where Lisa yelled at Nancy at the book-signing. Everything else was rather bland.

IA that it would have been better if Lisa wrote a book about all the gossip in Oakdale over the years. It would have been a lot more appropriate for the 50th anniversary, and since we rarely see Lisa, it would at least be believable that she had the time to write a book...unlike Katie who's always on doing meaningless crap.

I am the biggest ATWT fan but these book releases need to stop! I didn't like the first book and didn't buy it. They should have published an anniversary book instead of that first awful confindential book.

Instead of "Oakdale Confidential" there should be a book by Lisa. I would have much rather seen Lisa coming face to face with some of the characters she would dish the dirt about. Can you see the look on Babs face when she read the book? Or for that matter, dishing on Carly/Jack, Holden/Lily/Rose...

We don't really need another book being the focus of Katie Peretti Kasnoff and Simon/Mike. I would much rather see a vet being the focus of a book; a book that truly focuses on the history of the characters, not something just made up.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward

      The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories.

      I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.

      That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April.

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

      Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in.

      Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

      Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return

      DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.

      Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994.
