ABC: Now what for Alden and/or Smith

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

If AMC can bring back B&E, who couldnt save days, and couldn't put a dent in Dena's crap, they can bring Smith and Alden to OLTL. Im on that bandwagon now!!! Reunite Jack Smith and Kay Alden. We haven't heard from Jack Smith in a while. It could happen..... Excuse my scrambled thoughts. I am just thinking about the possibilities.

[Jess]

I am shocked that AMC got B&E. I actually wanted them for OLTL.

Anyway, I truly truly hope OLTL does get Kay Alden and Jack Smith. It would be great for the show. It really is time for a change.

I am having a weird feeling that Alden is coming to ATWT, I don't know about Smith, but I just have this feeling.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

You wanted them for OLTL?? They were with OLTL as Consultants in 2005. They were horrible, in my opinion. I would have liked to see a team of Carlivati and Culliton. I can see Kay Alden and Carolyn Culltion being teamed up on OLTL. As for ATWT, Clint, I have a feeling they may end up getting Jack Smith. He was going to go back to B&B, but turned it down to sign with ABC.

AMC didn't get Alden, so I hope OLTL will get it. OLTL isn't that bad, but Higley should be replaced. She had enough time on the show, and it's time to get the show back on track. Either Alden or Smith would do good there.

I know it's kind of an off-topic but... what are Trent Jones and James Houghton doing these days? They aren't writing anywhere.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Well, speaking of Trent Jones. I think he could be a candidate for ATWT. I think OLTL will get Alden. I know Frons is not that stupid to not put her on a soap, especially after her brilliant MIT speech.

[Jess]

I liked them because they wrote Tess and Nash at the Hamptons and in New York when the couple was so good. I thought PC was incredibly goofy, but I think it had great romance.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

I wouldnt really credit them for the Jess/Nash in the Hamptons scenes. I would credit, Higley, unfortunetly.

[Sylph]

Or is she just going to stay as an uncredited consultant? No... I really hoped AMC will get better... But this...

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

I've mentioned it in the other thread. Kay Alden/ Jack Smith for OLTL. Either that, or Kay Alden and Carolyn Culltion.

[Adam]

Maybe she still just wants to stay as an uncredited consultant. We aren't hearing ANYTHING about Jack Smith as of late, all about Alden. Perhaps Frons is planning on reuniting them at GH when Guza's contract expires.

Frons definitely has something planned. I think Dena's days are numbered at OLTL. I think Ron is being groomed to take over that show personally.

[heatherwebber]

I suspect one of each might land at the other 2 ABC shows. But it's just a guess.

Speaking of which has anyone noticed that GH seems to have injected some substance into the show lately? I don't know what's going on but some of it isn't as bad. There's still way too much gun-waving and masculine posturing & weight-throwing but it's not quite as awful.

[KMan101]

Agreed. GH has been better lately. A lot more substance.

When does Guza's contract end? Does anyone know?

[dm.]

If you ask me, Guza is doing a good job on GH. He has been working on the show since he left "Sunset Beach" back in 1997. That's a long time.

[titan1978]

He was gone for a couple of years in that time, because McTrash wrote some crappy stuff as HW for GH before Guza and Pratt returned. I am enjoying the show regularly for the first time in years. I watched the stunts, but would drop out for months at a time. Now I'm hooked daily again. Guza's team is currently writing stuff I want to watch, I think it has improved greatly without Pratt.
