I don't know if Reilly consulted with AW on that storyline or helping in coming up with it, but I know that NBC pushed AW into doing that weird, out there story because they wanted AW to take the same type of turn DAYS had with the out here stuff Reilly had written. So NBC forced AW to do that storlyine, about something they weren't comfortable with that went against the style of show it was, and use a style and or way of telling a soap story that the writers weren't familiar with, or comfortable with writing. Sounds like the earmarkings of disaster to me. But NBC thought Reilly's out there stuff worked to pick up DAYS ratings, so AW must follow suit. They wanted AW to turn into some sci-fi soap like Reilly was turning DAYS into at he time. At least that was what I heard.

Didn't AW have an evil twin Rachel at one point, or something? I seem to remember quite a few promos with Rachel looking flat out P-S-Y-C-H-O.

She did, Kenny.

I remember it. The twin was Justine or something like that. I watched that storyline. It involved a none and some other, VERY freaky [!@#$%^&*].

Someone recently posted a clip of it on these boards.

So the show HAD done some out-there stuff before. Although, compared to Lumina, evil twin is pretty run-of-the-mill, standard soap.

Yeah there was an evil twin. Justine was her name. She was Ryan and Grants mother. But I don't remember it as really sci-fi. Just a typical daytime evil twin who was crazy. No one levetated or anything. lol

Justine had Rachel locked up in a sanitarium, and took over life. ( Sounds like Kristen and Susan when you say it like that. LOL) It ended with a huge fight on a train tressel. Justine fell to her death while Ryan took a bullet and died.

That Lumina story they had, I never got that. I never understand what the heck was going on in that story from beginning to end.

I thought i read somehwere that he and Brian frons are friends? If so i'm sure he will be taking over AMC or OLTL! Think of it now JER and Megan Mctrash as co HW's. The magic they could make together. Erica would be posessed by the devil and babe would be a Mermaid and there would be a rape in every episode!

Well, Babe does have that awful fish stench around her...

And Lumina was ALL Susan PEE.

I don't care about the cast of Passions or where they end up, but I will followe JER to whatever soap he ends up writing for, even if it's bottom-of-the-barrel stuff like ATWT or GL or AMC.

Wow Rion.

You don't care about the cast and crew who dedicated 8 years to bringing the show to life?

I care more about the cast and crew of shows more then a HW, especially a HW who shits all over the fans and his cast and crew by not utilizing the potential that's there.

JER's the one with the imagination and creativity that brought Passions to life. I don't care about the actors---the story and characters come first. That's why I don't mind recasts.

Yeah well the cast has to play the roles and the crew has to keep the show going.

Nevermind, I'm not even going to bother.

My GOD, you're JER.

He would say the same thing about characters trumping actors.

LOL.

There's no use in arguing with you anymore. You just say the most ludicrous stuff just to piss everyone off, even if you don't believe some of it.

u must be JER himself or getting paid by him or yall have a serious secret steamy romance goings on?

bottom of th barrel LMAO

I don't know about JER but I'd like to see N. Gail Lawrence go back to AMC.

You really don't care about the actors?? :-O Sure, they don't write the show but some of them are pretty talented and deserve some work or at least an emmy nomination (Theresa, Gwen, etc)

RionPassions, I actually admire your support and admiration for JER. It's good that you are sticking by him. The man doesn't deserve all of the bashing and death threats that people give him.

JER's the one with the imagination and creativity that brought Passions to life. I don't care about the actors---the story and characters come first. That's why I don't mind recasts.

Yeah, well I do. I happen to care about people who are right now looking for work, and who will be unemployed in 8 months, because this man decided that having half the cast raped, on top of whatever other hackneed plot-driven mess he came up with, cost them their jobs. A true shame, indeed. There are some very good people in front of and behind the camara, and now.....nothing. That's who I care about.

JER - he can go back to Burger King for all I care. He should end up saying "Would you like fries with that?" and "Does this complete your order?" Serves him right.
