Members stenbeck212 Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ooh, an easy one! But seriously, who's writing, producing and sponsoring the shows? Who has been the predominant audience for nearly 60 years? You know the answers. Yes. Exclusion equals extinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knowjack Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Mine will all be AMC--some of mine have already been asked (the Ted/Tad thing STILL irks me), but here's more: Where are Opal's OTHER sons, Petey and Adrian? Why didn't Langley get a funeral? Is Kendall's brother, Trey, still in jail? Does she remember she HAS a brother? I guess if you don't have Kane DNA, Kendall doesn't want you in her family (see adopted mother, Alice Hart) Why haven't Adam and Myrtle ever talked about Skye being her granddaughter? Is Tempo running itself? How about WRCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Wasn't Erica 15 in 1970? I saw a thing on Soapnet where Susan says "I started playing her as a 15 year old high school student"...... Good one, I love to know that too!

Members Quent Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 I used to watch B&B until I couldn't take Brooke and Ridge Version 1000. Has the show ever addressed the Sally Spectra situation. A friend told me no, but I can't believe they wouldn't have some sort of tribute show, like ATWT did with Benjamin Hendrickson.

Members Khan Posted February 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 But, IIRC, Chuck, Erica, Phil and Tara all graduated from Pine Valley High circa 1971. I always knew Erica was a crafty and clever person, but ... , lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sedrick Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks Khan for providing an answer to a burning question I had harbored for YEARS! IMO Marland was right...Nixon's 'vision' instantly became nothing more than poor imitation. On a similar note, I've read that originally Nixon was creating what would become LOVING not with Marland but instead with novelist Dan Wakefield, who had written the book "ALL HER CHILDREN", a backstage account of AMC, back in the 70's, as well as creating and writing the acclaimed but short-lived NBC primetime drama JAMES at 15 (16) in the late 70's. So the new question is, what derailed Nixon's collaboration with Wakefield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sedrick Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yes, La Kane was 15 at the start of AMC, but within a year or so she had become a sophisticated doctor's wife and aspiring model. Of course when Erica reached the age of 35, she apparently stopped aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 You mean, Erica attended Woodstock when she fourteen!? IA, Sedrick. A soap lives and dies by its' own unique identity. LOVING, though, felt like a Designer Impostors' version of AMC. OTOH, if Marland hadn't have fallen out with Nixon over the show's direction, he might never have agreed to return to ATWT, which would probably have been off the airwaves by the early or mid-'90's.
