OLTL: Interesting 1998 article on the status of the show

I ran across this while searching for something else OLTL-related at Google. I'm not exactly sure what site this article came from since it no longer exists, but here is the cached version of it. I do know it was a Geocities page, however.

LOL! Oh lord, little did they know that JFP would do this show much more harm than the Labines did.

Scotty, were those search terms, One Life to live and "Writer"?

No actually they were Marilyn Chris. I got bored and got to wondering what happened to some of the OLTL characters/actors from the past. The first thing I looked for was "What happened to Herb Callison?" to see why he left Llanview. Then I wondered what ever happened to Wanda Webb, and typed in Marilyn Chris and came up with the article.

And here we stand today, Bo and Nora so far gone from what their story should have been it's like they aren't even there, Clint a shadow of his former self, the Buchanan kids dysfunctional messes, Viki without a love interest for years, and a recently wrapped "social issue" storyline that revolved around a group of minority characters simply because the writers couldn't come up with anything else for them to do.

Ron Carlivati, we're counting on you!

Hmm, I actually rather liked Labine on OLTL. I remember really loving the Dorian/Ms. Stonecliff story and really liked Dorothy. These days there's not one story on OL that's interesting.
