Okay, but why?

I'm gonna start calling you Counselor Troi (I'm a closet psuedo Trekkie), possessing extra-sensory empathy, because I swear you read waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much into every little thing. All they were doing was debating on whether New Age Erica is the same as Vintage Erica. :unsure:

I figure I can comment on this, since it's not directly about the what airs daily on the show....

We're just supposed to eat it up when a vet is on the screen? Just because they're there? Megan put them there too. Megan "wrote" for Tad. She made him a cold blooded killer. Megan "wrote" for Dixie. She made seem like a completely unhinged whack job, and ultimately killed her in a terrible way that was a slap in the face to everything Dixie and T&D stood for. Megan "wrote" for Joe too. She made him get all hot and bothered over Greg, because he "saved" Josh and foget all about Kate. And people said how terrible that was. And it was. There was no need to see our vets like that.

But now, because Megan is gone, and B&E are there, they're just supposed to get a free pass? It's okay what story they write because they put the vets on screen? That's how this post came acorss to me. Lets make Tad a serial killer, a story for a vet.

I don't see the point in having the vets on your screens if their storylines are crap. I wouldn't want to watch the vets be humilated, as long as they were on screen.

If we're just going to let B&E be heroes because they dared to put the vets on, then we might have well have kept Megan. Because she did the same thing.

All we know about you is you're an ex-Erica fan....forever a David/Erica couple fan....a major Josh-hater....and hate the fact Tad buried Greg Madden. Bc that is ALL you comment on. There is much more to this show, past and present, than those 4 things.

LMFAO, if you say so. I won't get in the way of your alpha dog AMC status anymore. What could I possibly know about AMC? I mean, I only watched almost daily for 12 years.

If you think that's all I care about, you're just like everyone else who's never taken the chance to talk to me. Just at talked me. I've talked to a lot others here, and other boards who know I bleed AMC. Shame you see me as the bad guy. I'd fight for AMC with all I have even know.

But whatever.

Sorry Andy, can't agree, If they're just going to pull Ruth or Opal out of the attic to prop KWAK or Greenlee or someone, I'd rather they stay in the attic.

If they're going to use them, they need to use them in ways that make sense, and are relevant to the storyline. Not just a "throw a vet in today's show, that'll shut up the ones screaming we don't show the vets enough" ish alot of shows do.

      A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders.

      NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

      JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.

      It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse.

      "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

      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.
