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.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
    • I can definitely see that airing the same week as The Love Boat colliding with an iceberg and sinking while crossing the North Atlantic on the Titanic anniversary with a “Who lives and dies?!” Promo next to Mr Belvedere being blackmailed over his wanted fugitive status back in the UK

        Agree with you both. I am also going assume that while Hotel may had some big numbers the first 2 seasons BUT the demographics weren’t great. Reason I say this is I distinctly remember my parents watching St Elsewhere and/or The Equalizer after Dynasty.    I still don’t get Hotel’s designation as a primetime soap opera either lol. ABC should have aired Paper Dolls in the 10/9 slot on Wednesdays in the fall of 1984 to give that show some more legs.    Obviously ABC was eyeing a double bill night in the same vein as Dallas & Falcon Crest and that might have worked better than leaving Paper Dolls to the wolves in an untested timeslot.
    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time.  And believe me, if I could bring myself to watch her male successors who were responsible for bringing back Reva and allowing her to eat the show again, or hiring Hunt Block, or being too chicken to stand up to stans who and hamstrung the show with boring couples stuck in the same repetitive stories (Vanessa/Matt, Chelle/Danny or Richard/Cassie, take your pick) not to mention San CristoHELL....I'd be more than happy to roast them on open spits. I guess we end up talking about JFP because she's in a period we can nominally agree was one of the last "best" periods of the show.
    • 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.
