Great show! I think Marlena needs to return for a third show, say next month or so. ;)

Time to speculate on what she said! I think the writer that called her pissed, after a bad review, was McTavish.

I think it's also safe to say she hates Corday

I also gather Marlena's not too fond of JFP (but who is?) - "OLTL has always been a wonderfully produced show, well, expect for the time Jill was producing it." :lol:

I just did listen to it....I have a life outside the forum and cannot make appointments for a guest to talk about soaps.

I happen to agree with a lot of what she said and that if Ryan were to get killed off, he would just have to be brought back since he is central to the show. Maybe just have him leave town and start a new life? Who knows but she has a point with the whole back from the dead plot for characters who still have unfinished business

Okay listening to it right now and am at the part about my question ;)

I understand where she is coming from about how Ryan is very central to the show and what not...so killing him would mean they would more than likely have to bring him back since so many parts of AMC are centralized around him. That is where AMC has a problem. They keep putting so much emphasis on his character and do not realize he is not well liked on the show. I am glad she does not mind Cameron because I do not hate on him..just the character

She is right about AMC being a shell in its former self and how it may never recapture its identity. I guess right now I am enjoying it but there is a lot that need to be done and B&E are taking a while to get to improving this show since McTavish.

IMO ABC lost gold when they refused to hire Kay Alden for AMC

*Now I am on to the part about the magazines reporting on the industry....well that's a no brainer. They have gotten WORSE! To me, they keep blaming the deterioration of ratings on OJ Simpson and housewives going back to work and not have time for the soap. The problem lies in how the writers and producers and everyone else produce a show...and it has gone downhill.

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

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

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
