I found it funny that Lucci was praising the unabortion in the magazines and what not but you could tell she was just being a team player about it...she wouldn't deliberately say it was a bad story and speak out against it-that is just not her style.

Josh did make history, though, by being the first walking fetus :lol:

I'd like to think so -- having just come from a script editing gig. I mean, if I, in my total amatuer status, apply the rule, then I'd hope they would. They just need to get a better script editor than Jeff Beldner. Too much garbage has made it to air under his red pen.

I'm still shuddering at Courtney Bugler's horribly awkward Beach Speech she gave Ryan... for Cameron Mathison, of all people, to perform.

Where and when did Susan praise it? Aside from the original interview she did where she told us who Josh was, she's been very, erriely IMO, quiet about the entire mess. Believe me, the one person who could have made a difference and may have possibily kept me watching AMC was Ssuan. I've been waiting almost two years for her to tell us what she thinks of Josh, and yet nothing. I love her for being such a team player, but I still wonder if the outrage to Josh could have been qwelled had Susan spoke about the issue.

Now, I don't care. She could call Josh a God, and I'd roll my eyes. The show got away with it, doesn't matter who says what anymore. What's done is done.

Interesting tidbit about Esensten. I was reading an old interview with her in SOD from 1999, and she is asked what was her favorite soap growing up, and it was All My Children! She also said the Jenny was her favorite character of all time :) I rolled my eyes before when she had said AMC was always her favorite soap, thinking she was making it up. But, guess she was telling the truth!

If AMC is her fav daytime show of all time, then I expect much more from her and Brown's writing. Also, how come she never wrote for AMC until 2007? She HW Loving which was AMC's sister show.

What kind of script writers are Esensten & Brown? I ask this b/c AMC is in desperate need of several new SW to replace Bugler, Taylor & Kanelos (aka The Forgetful Children)

Rumoru was they did want B/E to come on AMC when City was canceled--Burke, the EP came on after all. Lorraine Broderick was still doing well tho (tho the ratings sadly were slipping) and then GL snapped the pair up before AMC could. Just cuz it's their fave show doesn't mean they'll be able to make it stunning in a month--talent could be a prob but sop could Frons and JHC. that' sa very narrow minded view I think

I think B/E are actually known to be quite good script writers--isn't that where they starte don GL in the early 90s?

      You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)

      Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

      This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.

        @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
