I'm afraid Ms. Evans would'nt get nearly the airtime that she got 20-25 years ago. OLTL has changed drastically since she was last on. A lot of stories now go to younger characters and Tina would likely be nothing more than a supporting player now, much like Erica Kane is now on AMC.

That is what Andrea would want. If she were to go back to OLTL, I doubt she would back away from only being on recurring like she was on Passions. Being on recurring allows her to devote time to her work with Breast Cancer research. That is why she never signed a contract with Passions. I doubt that would change if she were to go back to OLTL.

IF Passions does go on Oxgyen then I bet JER has to do some changes to the show because Oxygen is going to remain a channel for women enpowerment according to a recent article I read.

And also he will definately has to do some major changes to Vincent's storyline due to the fact he portray him negatively. Perhaps Vincent might seek some help and the child he carrying isn't Julians nor Chad's.

the last thing NBC/Oxgyen wants is to pissed off their already core audience with some of the degrading that I seen on Passions.

Obviously Vanguardian, you must not watch ONE LIFE much. Several 40 & over 40 castmembers of ONE LIFE are front & center, including Robin Strasser(Dorian), Erika Slezak(Viki), Jerry verDorn(Clint), Hillary B. Smith(Nora), Kassie DePaiva(Blair), Robert S. Woods(Bo) & Kamar de los Reyes(Antonio), plus Tuc Watkins(David), Peter Barlett(Nigel), with Ilene Kristen(Roxy), Catherine Hickland(Lindsay), Hunt Block(Ramsey) & more getting quite a bit of airtime. So Andrea Evans would do very well on this show even though she's 45ish.

What I meant was the cast and crew's interests. Seriously, would you wanna stay on a sinking ship that's been cancelled twice in one year with a slim chance of being picked up by a third network? Don't get me wrong, I love the show and I want to see it continue, but if it doesn't, then the cast and crew can move on to bigger and better pastures.

They'd find a way to not use her or mis-use her, believe me! And if she can't be anything close to the Tina she once was, like I don't think she would be, then there's no point. Furthermore, didn't she say on numerous occasions that she's very happily drawn to L.A.? If Passions ends that doesn't mean she'll automatically go prancing back to NY-based OLTL. BTW, you said that Andrea deserves better than Passions? This actress has had a thousand opportunities to return to OLTL if she wanted to. I understand that over the years, OLTL has tried voraciously to get her back even long before she landed on Passions, but she kept declining. I assume she was/is happy on that crap Passions.

Maybe with past headwriters like Dena Hackley, this would be true. But its pretty damn obvious Ron C. has a hard on for the vets and uses them often and in amazing ways.

That's a GOOD thing.

And the REASON she didn't return to OLTL for years even though the offer was there is because of her stalker incident that led to her departure in the first place.

Today, she'd probably be more than willing to return to a show of actual quality and integrity if the offer was right. Especially since Ron is almost guaranteed to treat Tina with total respect and pen great story for her.

bellcurve, that MADE MY F'ING DAY!!! :lol: Hilarious!

Don't get me wrong, I love "Days" -- not to mention daytime's BEST story, currently: the Ford Decker mystery -- but that would be HILARIOUS! And I would LOVE to see "Passions" promos on NBC, as it trumpets the triumphant return of daytime's most unique soap opera! :)

That will happen right after hell freezes over. NBC wants out of the soap business so they aren't going to bring back PASSIONS if they cancel DAYS.

Anyways, I saw over at soaps.com their is a Cruise for PASSIONS fans basically the Farewell to Harmony Cruise. So someone doesn't have hope.

      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.

      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.
