No, I wouldn't wish Carruthers on any other show. She's clearly not cut out to be an EP. She works best when she's a Supervising Producer, like she was on both Santa Barbara and GH. Some might like her PC EP stint, but really, that show was never truly good to begin with, who really had high expectations for it?

She was at Susan Lucci's surprise birthday party for her husband a month or two ago. She's close by, in retirement but close by.

She had almost a good 2 years where she did not hit or tie any lows for AMC, which is more than you can say for the interim writers or the Grim Reapers. That's not me condoning bringing her back, I don't. I'd say her best period of ratings was early 2005, which IMO was steam from the last week of the babyswitch.

I personally think the staff writers get blamed way too much. I mean look at who they wrote under - McTavish and B&E! You can only do so much when you have horrible HWs. They're not miracle workers. LOL

Oh, so, AMC improves, while ATWT, w/ Carruthers at the helm, sinks further into oblivion? I don't think so, lol.

I've already thrown out my suggestion (Patrick Mulcahey) for HW. For EP, though, I think I'd like to see someone who hasn't worked in daytime before, but who has experience producing and/or directing quality entertainment (preferably, for the theater). Someone who knows how to collaborate with their writers, and who isn't trying to be the next David O. Selznick. After all, even Wendy Riche started out in primetime, did she not?

Oh, God, the blessed baby-switch. The storyline even Stephen "If I Weren't a Writer, I'd Be a Serial Killer" King thought was so gosh-darn amazing.

You know, if I never hear about that hot mess of a drama again, it will be too soon.

Kick Ms. Beall to the curb. Her writing tics are annoying as hell IMO. I'm with R Sinclair on this one. But I'd love to see Lorraine Broderick back. I could deal with Wendy Riche or maybe Chris Goutman as EP, but only if ABC tried and failed to lock down Felicia Minei Behr.

You mean like Linda Gottlieb? She was mainly a producer of movies and television before she was hired as EP of OLTL in 91. I think she'd be great at AMC as well, but I already know you hated her OLTL stint with Malone. LOL!

I think Wendy Riche started out as TV Movie producer, but she's LA based, so I don't think she'd go to the NYC for AMC.

Yeah...unfortunately.

Indeed, I did, lol. I realize it's anathema (sp?) to say you don't care for early-'90's OLTL, but I don't. Never have, never will. Of course, much of daytime today makes the AIDS Quilt/Homophobia story look like "Angels in America," but, you know, I just felt like Linda Gottlieb never understood what OLTL was about.

OTOH, there are probably a lot of talented producers and directors who work outside of daytime, but who could be just the breath of fresh air that's needed to keep this genre alive and thriving.

Y&RWorldturner & Khan: I'm in as well.

Anyways, my ideal AMC HW is Lorraine Broderick with Felicia Minei Behr as EP. I'm also one of those who didn't mind Francesca James's run. AMC really needs a strong EP because the show has gone through a number of writers and the one consistent aspect of the basic hell that AMC has become is Julie Hanan Carruthers. That being said, as long as Brian Frons is around the ABC soaps are screwed.

Broderick, Curlee, Demorest and Reilly are HW's; Mulcahey, Walsh, Washam and Whitesell handle the breakdowns; and the rest can participate in a sort of weekly script lottery, where one of the co-heads drops all their names into a hopper and picks out five at random. Innovative, no?

      From what I remeber reading, it seemed as if it all completely falls apart post-Labine and Mayer around a year later when Ben is sent to prison around June 1976. Ben's departure undoes one of the major story threads that had carried the show for many months. Without a catalyst of Ben's ilk in the wings, there wasn't much to carry either story for the two women (Betsy and Arlene). Arlene was briefly paired in a one-sided attraction with Ray before becoming involved with Ian Russell. I believe the Schneiders introduced Ian as a suave businessman interested in Arlene who was also considering a dalliance with Meg. That would have been delightful but Upton arrives and quickly shifts the narrative to Arlene as a kept woman / prostitute (though I only think she was sleeping with Ian, but maybe I'm wrong).  I think it is Upton who transitioned Ben from complicated heel with a romantic appeal to a tortured, brooding romantic lead with a complicated past. I'm not sure that was the smartest move. Upton must have believed that Ben's near rape was his redemption arc, but I don't think it was enough. There is something deliciously wicked about Ben becoming involved with Mia after the death of Mia's stepson Jim Marriott, who had confessed his love for Mia before racing off on his motorbike and being hit by Ben's car. I could see the appeal, but I don't think it completely worked.  There should have been an angle involving Betsy (who had been a reporter I think when she first appeared) investigating Jim Marriott's accident, possibly with Jamie Rolins who was I believe district attorney. Betsy and Ben growing closer as Betsy grows closer to the truth. Ben confiding in Mia as Andrew continues to make Ben his surrogate son setting in motion the same dramatic situation with Andew's second wife being in love with his son/surrogate son.  I think Betsy and Jamie Rollins were together while Ben was in prison, but I don't think they had much to do. I may be wrong. Meg should have gone after custody making it seem like Jamie and/or Betsy were unfit leading to a case with social services which would have brought Diana Lamont back into the mix causing emotional angst for Diana as she works with Jamie to provide him the child she couldn't.  The Felicia / Eddie / Charles stuff seems rather generic once you get to Charles' paralysis and sexual dysfunction. Felicia's pregnancy and her death seemed to bring an end to a story that really wasn't strong enough to be frontburner. The Lynn Henderson stuff always seems rather movie of the week rather than developed for an ongoing story.  In the past, I agreed that it might have been possible that the story had become so disjointed that they needed to freshen up and add new story elements as Upton did but others have suggested that the elements themselves should have just been considered.   For example, I'm not a huge proponent of Rick and Cal as a couple, but I do think there was some mileage of actually reintroducing Barbara into the mix trying to reconnect with Hank, carrying a torch for Rick, causing conflict in the Sterlings marriage with Bruce and Van taking sides over Barbara vs. Cal, and Barbara maneuvering her way into the Beaver Ridge Complex making her business partners with Rick and Meg, which would give her a new rival.  When Ben returned, there should have been a question of how true his redemption was rather than just jumping in head first to a new role.  I think the Schneiders might have been script writers for Ann Marcus on "Search for Tomorrow," but I may be wrong on that.  Upton introduced the Marriotts in Janaury, 1977. Christian Marlowe's Andy Marriott seemed to be in the mold of Ben. I don't know if the story was any good, but I think Upton towards the end hinted an Andrew / Meg / Andy storyline which I thought would have been interesting. I think Upton had some interesting concepts, but from my understand, the execution was awful.

      I didn't wanna "ruin" it for you if Raven hadn't left on her midnight trip to London yet.  But based on where she's going -- and who she'll be staying with -- you can assume there will be some drama when she returns! I believe she even says to Logan or Eliot Dorn before she leaves, "My stepfather, Ansel Scott, always had a 'thing' for me!" lol.

      Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.
