Mary Beth Evans to ATWT exec: "I made a mistake"

I'm not going to judge someone when I don't know the context this quote was taken from, or the tone MBE used when/if she said it. People say things all the time in a joking manner or to be nice. I once met up with a former employer and jokingly asked if my old job was available, knowing full well that even if it was, I wouldn't want it.

Excellent point!

If it was a direct quote, then she's a bitch. ATWT can have her back. She's done absolutely nothing for DAYS as of right now, so whatever.

And if it wasn't a direct quote and it was taken out of context, ATWT can still have her back.

Aren't you being a bit harsh? My gawd. I was sadden when she left ATWT for Days. But never in my mind did I think she was a bitch for leaving. Funny how you were so happy to have her back at Days when she made the jump. Talk about being ungrateful.

So we are going to flame a wonderful actress in Mary Beth, because some fan from Ontario reported to their local newspaper that they OVERHEARD Mary Beth Evans making this comment to ATWT Executive Producer Chris Goutman?

:rolleyes:

...on to the next load of sh*t...

Mary Beth I am sure would have NEVER made a comment like this. I just REFUSE to believe this!

I think MBE has done a great job on Days. The problem has been that they isolated Steve and Kayla from Bo and Hope. The story would have worked so much better if there was more family interactions. It was stupid that Kayla was the only one really trying to help Steve. Bo and Hope would have died for Steve also so it would only make sense that they would have been at Kayla's side through the whole ordeal.

ICAM!

And the return of Nichols and Evans is only a "disaster" and "huge dissapointment" for those fans who have not been enjoying them.

However, I disagree. I couldn;t be more happy to have them back and they are the only reason why I was able to stick by DAYS from Jan - May!

Not to mention, their acting has been top notch.

I sure hope the show involves them in this DiMera/Brady Feud!

I'd take Mary Beth back in a heartbeat. Given that she jumped, and then suddenly it sounds like Days isn't going to go past 2009, and she could suddenly be backburned for months due to the budget, I don't think "I made a mistake" is some bitchy condemnation of DOOL.

She's not a bitch because she's Mary Beth Evans. :rolleyes: Had this been some unpopular actress, say Farah Fath, people would want her head. Lets not be hypocritical.

You should go back to May 2006 posts and re-read my posts about Nichols and Evans' returns. I was not happy about the returns. At the time, I didn't give a rat's ass about Steve and Kayla, and I still don't. I like Steve, and I can tolerate Kayla, but together, they do nothing for me. So no, I was not happy to have her back at DAYS when she made the jump. So no, I'm not ungrateful.

And when you consider she was supposed to be the original Paige on One Life before she decided to stay with ATWT.

Oh ok....werent you the BIG Willow fan? Who was that?

What does my liking of Willow have to do with anything regarding Mary Beth Evans? :blink:

There's a reason MBE is more popular than Farah (aside from her vastly superior acting). The former has a reputation for being positive and respectful towards her co-stars and employers. Had this been Farah, we wouldn't be analysing some remark she alledgedly made in a private conversation. She would have mouthed off directly to the mags.

I don't see how she's a bitch. Is a Wal-Mart employee complaining about her job a bitch? Furthermore, she didn't know her comments would be published.

Yes!

But I do not think Mary Beth is one

LOL

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
