DruR.

I'm just pickin' on ya, and I don't think that you are being too uptight. You have a right to feel how you want. And I do agree, you can definitely still get your point/passion across w/o acting like a complete nut....nonetheless, she seems to really have it in for Reilly...

and with that.... garcia out... :lol:

I don't know that like all her ideas but I can see the passion that she has for soaps. And as far as her very direct manner, maybe that is what the industry needs. They are asleep right now and they need someone to come in and kick them in butt and wake 'em up!! I don't think soaps have to be struggling. I think that new writers, new concepts, character-driven, vet-driven, and well written soaps could revive or stabilize the ratings and the genre. Those things just aren't there and so many loyal fans have been turned off. And I think it is very difficult to regain the audience after they lose trust in their shows.

I guess we will never know if her ideas would be successful or not. She will never be given a chance to be a headwriter because the networks are too chicken.

Only in [!@#$%^&*]'s case, I'm in complete agreement.

I don't like every one of her storylines... individually, yes. But all in your face at once, it might be too much.

I'm just in love with her PASSION for the genre and her ANGER at NBC/Zucker/Reilly. Kill 'em, [!@#$%^&*]!

Dru I was feeling you on some of your initial comments, but now you're coming off

as a little TOO CONSERVATIVE.

I mean, you're the "normal" people she's talking about.

The ones who don't like to take chances, are afraid of anything that rocks the boat?

I say if a boring writer like Corrine Jacker can be given 2 years to do NOTHING at "Another World" then why

not give someone with [!@#$%^&*]'s fire a try out too?

They always give the conservative boring writers the HW gig and it's killing daytime.

She wouldn't fit on a show like "Passions." Brad Bell, maybe... or Christian McLaughlin. Maybe Sally Suckman Morina. Or Elmo.

I hate her too, Dru.

Responsible for SO MUCH BULLSHIT on Days.

Vivian's mind altering tooth chip? A mind altering chip in John's neck, Hope's brain?

Carrie and Mike's FLYING BED?

HELL NO!

    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
    • Was that when she put on the"Slut of Springfield" red dress and made a complete ass of herself at the CC, so of course Alan fell madly in love with her on the spot?
    • Oohh...now I'm not sure. Long did come back in '87, didn't she. She broke up Ross and Vanessa almost from her first minute back. Van and Ross are at the Country Club when Josh dumps Reva. And Reva dramatically drapes herself on the CC stairs. 
    • Glad you enjoyed watching. Yes, Michael seems like fun. I am always interested in more of these niche talk show appearances.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50
    • Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles. 
    • I don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.  
    • Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?
