This interview just makes me sad.

I don't know what happened to Chris Goutman in the last ten years, but it's depressing as hell. Reading this interview, and his last two with SOD, it's like they're two completely different people.

I want this Goutman back. The one we have now is just a frustrated, jaded, bitter, burnt out mess. He really was such a life preserver for daytime back then, with so much hope. They really ground all the joy and passion out of him over the years, haven't they?

At the time of this interview Goutman was breathing new life back in Another World. He had long-term plans for the show, with a focus on bringing the show back to it's roots. After years of disappointment, he gave fans hope - which was no small feat.

He was passionate about the show and the industry, and he did the best he could to help it survive. He brought this same passion when he switched to ATWT. I always wondered was Goutman and Hogan Scheffer could have done if they were working together on AW, instead of on ATWT.

When Another World was cancelled the show was on the cusp of a new renaissance. He put an end to the Lumina/Jordan Stark story, put more focus onto popular vets (I believe he was also responsible for bringing back Carl Hutchins). Fans had reason to love him.

The past 10 years have really changed him. I too wish that this man from 1999 was still working his magic in 2009.

Goutman was heralded back then, but I was watching, and I did not feel much improvement. I felt like people were just desperate to praise the show to keep it from being canceled. NBC may have mandated Lumina, but Leah Laiman was the headwriter, there wasn't going to be quality character-driven story anyway.

The show was already more focused on vets before he got there, thanks to Richard Culliton putting the spotlight back on Cass, Felicia, and Donna the previous year before Culliton asked to be demoted (so the rumor was) after Charles Keating was fired by NBC.

Carl was brought back for a few days when the show was canceled. Goutman's more significant return would probably be getting Alice Barrett Mitchell back, but her character Anne was bland, thank you Leah Laiman.

ATWT when Goutman first started also got immediately worse, with the hiring of bland soap hunk Paul Korver as Chris, replacing the talented (but unconventional-looking) Ben Jorgensen, and the beginning of a permanent backburnering for Bob and Kim. This was followed quickly by the firing of the talented and chemistry-laden (but unconventional-looking) Nathaniel Marston and Jaime Nicole Dudney. Oh yes, (unconventional-looking) Scott DeFreitas was also fired around this time.

There is no "Goutman back then" who was great. Goutman is the same as he ever was -- more focused on surface appearances than on real quality.

He didn't cause the death of Another World (that was NBC), and his ATWT is still good despite flaws, but I've never understood the high praise for him.

I see many of your points, but you're also leaving out a LOT, jfung. It was obvious that Goutman was much beloved by most of the cast and crew at ATWT, and the few years where they swept the Emmys, there was a general excitement and energy in every interview read/saw with ATWT cast members about how thrilled they were to be a part of the show. And sure, some of that may have seemed like lip service - but when Maura West, Martha Byrne, Michael Park and the Hensleys are all talking about the positive aspects to Goutman EP'ing, that says a lot. Compare that to the last few years - NOBODY talks about Goutman anymore in the press. In fact, I can't remember the last time an actor said something about him, which is a completely different tune than the ones people were singing in 2000-2004.

Yes, Korver wasn't a find, and losing DeFrietas (and Bryggman) were both dumb moves (as well as back-burning the Hughes family). But I don't see ANYBODY clamoring for the return of Eddie and Georgia these days.

He's not perfect, by any stretch of the imagination. But the show looked like a million bucks in Goutman's first few years, and the general vibe you got from most of the cast was that morale was great and he was extremely well-liked. At least back then.

Good points, brimike.

I still think Gotuman is well-liked ... I don't really get a sense of low morale at the show (but I am not privy to backstage gossip). I also think he is sincere in caring about multigenerational families -- another EP would probably have fired the unused vets by now.

The on-screen results are what I care most about though. To the extent that people were excited about the on-screen results among the cast, I attribute that more to the work of Hogan Sheffer and Carolyn Culliton. I don't remember people gushing about ATWT when Laiman was writing it.

I still think Goutman didn't suddenly lose his touch, he was over-hyped to begin with.

That's because they weren't, the best thing that ever happened to Goutman's reputation during his first year or so at ATWT was Laiman's firing. The show was in the gutter for a good part of 1999 and 2000, storylines was hallow, characters were dumb as hell, and almost nothing made too much sense.

Laiman doesn't get too much credit for the hack she is. She's right up there with McTavish and Higley, if you ask me.

The only story I really liked from those two years was the All About Eve story at WOAK. I know a lot of people had problems with it, but I really enjoyed it. Oh, and the Parker reveal when CG/LL FIRST started, but you can't really count that since they were wrapping up Broderick's story.

      I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.

      We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?

      1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.

      Ok, so the memorial felt a bit... underwhelming. I couldn’t help but wonder - where’s Julie? Would’ve made sense for her to be sitting next to Marlena. And Maggie, who’s been close to John and Marlena for decades? Sami? Hope? Carrie? What about Tony and Anna? Jack and Jen? And Will? And Kristen - even just a short, quiet scene of Eileen Davidson by his grave would’ve added so much depth. That said, Paul’s eulogy really stood out. The line “Can’t wait to play basketball with you again” was genuinely moving.

      I’m up to October 2, 1996. Ugh, the opening was updated to add Zachary and Dahlia, and remove Vanessa.  I guess this means Maeve left the show and everyone will just assume Vanessa died in her car wreck, so sad.  Matt found the MRI test results from the mail, just before Vanessa’s memorial, but Nola convinced him that no test results matter at this point. They also gave Nola the short Vanessa haircut now, so it’s throwing me off haha. Btw, how is Quint not around for any of this? He just came back full-time, but then couldn’t be available for his sister’s memorial? Billy is back!  He just showed up at the hospital and gave Josh a big hug. So did Reva, and Reva finally just mentioned that she calls Dylan every week (ha!).  He has 24 hours out of jail for deaths in the family, so I guess he isn’t staying right now beyond the memorial. He’s pushing Reva/Josh as a couple to Reva. I feel so bad for Matt during this whole thing. Watching him break down at the beach is heartbreaking. Rick just told Phillip about his one-night stand with Blake, and now Amanda just told Roger the truth in front of all of them about Rick being one of the fathers. Blake denies it, Roger doesn’t believe it, but Amanda is so bad and I kind of love it haha. Zachary is now obsessed with Michelle and saved her from drowning. He called her Mary until he corrected her and said she’s Michelle. Was there a Mary in the Bauer family? It seems like he recognizes her from a long time ago. It seems like Michelle is done with J for good, as she’s now developing a crush on Zachary. It looks like they’re going with a J/Dahlia/Marcus triangle, away from Michelle. So Griffin was behind his assassination attempt?  Weird and I don’t care. Roger got electric shock treatments now and is acting differently, like a changed man who is overly nice, but of course it’s an act. I sure hope he ultimately gets the upper hand and we can get him out of this hospital. Blake and Hart seemed to be upset that Dinah allowed the treatments to happen, but those two are too little, too late for me. Annie is now missing work because of the pill addiction; things are getting worse. Annie just went off on Abby at work, so you can tell she’s getting angrier. What I do like about this story is how quickly others began to question her pill taking, and it’s not some secret that lasts for months. Josh just caught Reva skinny dipping at the creek and Annie found her diner apron and realized they were together. I really think Kim Zimmer puts a lot of herself into the Reva character haha. I’m in the middle of reading her book and Kim and her friends are into skinny dipping in real life! Overall, a boring month but I’m looking forward to another holiday season in Springfield for something new and fun (I love the holidays). I think I’m now going into McTavish and Laibson’s last month as HW and EP. I’ve got to say, post-Marion/Brent, McTavish’s big umbrella storylines of 1996 (Lonatrat and A. Spauling/5th Street) were huge busts. Lonatrat made everyone unlikeable and A. Spaulding/5th Street was so slow and uninteresting. Otherwise, my thoughts on the smaller B storylines: Grant family/Griffin was so gross and unnecessary; Dahlia/Marcus is boring; Holly/Fletch/Meg is nonexistent; Zachary and his meddling, I’m on the fence; Abby/Rick pairing I like; Blake/Ross/Rick and the twins I like; Annie and her pill addiction I like, but the slow Reva/Josh movement is boring and I lump Reva’s return into the 5th Street storyline because she’s mostly just with Buzz and Alan.
