Ryan's Hope Back Daily in June!

[applcin]

Hey, guys...could this be true?

They're talking about it on the SN boards, too.

Is that Julianne Moore?! Where did you find the photo?

[sheilaforever]

That definitely is the lovely Miss Moore!

Didn't she get her start on a east coast soap? Maybe they were co-stars or Trent Jones already wrote back then???

[Sylph]

She was on As the World Turns!! And took a part in one of the best stories Douglas Marland wrote reportedly... I'm not sure which storyline is that!

^ Trent wrote for RH, Search for Tomorrow, GL (for which he was apart of that 92 Emmy winning team), but his most significant writing contribution was to Y&R, which he wrote for on and off from 93 to 06 (before that hack in charge fired him). He was apart of a an Emmy winning writing team for Y&R too. In between stints, he wrote briefly for ATWT in 2005.

Here's SON's very own writing profile for Jones.

How I wish he was writing for Y&R still . . .

Thanks Y&R. Maybe someone will wise up and snap him back up.

I hope the RH news is true. Guess we'll find out in a week!

[Sylph]

I'm really interested how did the two meet, if this indeed is Trent Jones. He lives in upper New York (state), but they couldn't have met on ATWT since she was there from 1985 to 1988. And he didn't write for the show then. Julianne also won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series in 1988.

[applcin]

Okay....this was bothering me so I dug a little deeper. When I had googled for a pic of Trent Jones, the picture I posted earlier came up. So I'm like, yeah that really does look like him. But now I kept looking further and saw a guy associated with Julianne Moore named Todd Haynes that looks like Trent's spitting image. Sigh....sorry for the mistaken identity.

Darn. I guess now I'm back to being curious again.

Anyway, wow, if RH is indeed back on daily that was a quick turnaround. I wonder if viewer protest had anything to do with it?

[Chris B]

Trent Jones was also an actor, his stuff on Ryan's Hope aired a while back. He was pretty good, would love to have him back writing.

I'm not surprised RH is back considering all the complaining and letters and phone calls. They knew they were being haters with the extra Dallas airings since they still own rights to RH since Disney/ABC owns it. AW is different because they would've had to buy more episodes of the series.

Something I don't understand is why they don't pick up other ABC soaps you know will be cheaper for them. Loving, The City, the early years of Port Charles all have complete runs.

[Sylph]

Although it's not the theme of the thread, I forgot to add that Trent's brief stint with ATWT was connected witha quality boost in writing.

[juniorz1]

I do- it was the Doug Cummings stalker storyline, one of the most revered soap plots in history, with an electrifying climax.

[Juliajms]

I will be jumping for joy if Ryan's hope is really back. I had only been watching three months when they changed to the two eppy's a week line-up. I want my daily shows back!

[Juliajms]

OK, I found out it is true. Ryan's Hope is going to be back to daily airings starting in June!!

[ANDREA LOATHES REILLY]

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I just saw it on my Tivo... It's back to airing daily...

Did someone actually listen to the fans or did the new line up not work out as planned? I think it's the latter, of course. There is no way Frons did this for the fans...

But this is great. I don't know how or why, but I am very happy!!!!!!!!
