How I Hope LML Was Fired!


Recommended Posts

Lynn Marie Latham stretched her heavy thighs out of her Mercedes as she schlepped her bags back to CBS Television City. She was a woman on the move, with things to do, storylines to hack up and actors to fire (or prop up).

As she waddled into the studio the air was thick, much like her midsection. "Stupid tradesmen" she thought to herself, "they haven't got any idea how terrible that accurate looking fake snow smells, don't they realize that you can just, like, not use snow and then have characters comment on how cold it is. Dammit why must I be the only creative one left in this business"

Her flats clicked an ominous thud as the heaviness of her cankles crushed the linoleum floor. Suddenly, she spied Don Diamont doing lunges in the hall. "Don! Baby how's it going, it's been forever" she cooed. "Lynn...er, I uh Lynn, listen, you do not want to be here, go home baby, it's not a good day."

"Nonsense!" she spluttered, "Today is a wonderful day, Me and Bernard and Vince and Marina and Lynsey are here to fix all the mistakes that the scabs did, I mean the show has just been AWFUL these last few weeks hasn't it?"

Beads of sweat glistened on Don's well defined eyebrows as he considered what to say next.

But it didn't matter as the rest of the cast emerged, already in full makeup and wardrobe. "My cast!" Lynn exclaimed! You're all here to welcome me back! And to think that those silly fans on SON didn't believe that you all loved me. Dear God! Group hug everyone!"

"No!" bellowed Jeanne Cooper, a woman of short stature but of considerable venom. "No Lynn! This is over! Pack your things and get the hell outta my studio!"

"You're studio, but Jeanne...you're quoting lines from 1998!"

"Dear God in Heaven I don't give a damn!" Jeanne hissed. "Get the hell out! Eric! Eric we need you"

Eric Braeden confidently walked through the crowd, like Moses parting the Red Sea. He stopped suddenly, slicked his thick hair back and struck a confident pose. Then, seemingly from nowhere Eric boomed "I WILL CRUSH YOU!"

"For God's sake, this cast is stuck in 1998...I wasn't even here!" she shrieked as she began to flee through the studio, a mob led by Melody Thomas Scott, in stilettos, trailing her.

As she ran she flew past each set: the Abbott mansion, Crimson Lights, the Newman Ranch, the Chancellor estate, Michael and Lauren's apartment, the Loft, the Athletic Club, the Jabot boardroom and Victor's office, among others. Memories flooded Lynn's mind...how had it all gone so wrong she wondered as her heart rate reached maximum capacity and she began to wheeze. "Damn Crispy Creme" she thought to herself ruefully, "Damn them to hell!"

At last she reached the parking lot, her Mercedes just within reach. Then, like a flash of sequined lightning, Jess Walton snatched the oversized belt clasped around Lynn's ample hips. "You Bitch!" cried Jess, "You destroyed Bill's legacy and insulted the fans, I have HAD IT with you dammit!" And with that a bitch slap was dealt like no bitch slap had ever been dealt before as Lynn slowly careened into oblivion as her corpulent body smacked the pavement....

In what could have been days later Lynn awoke in a boardroom eerily reminicent of Donald Trump's on The Apprentice. "What am I doing here?" she pleaded to the darkened faces confronting her. "You're here," uttered a sweet feminine voice, "because you insulted my husband, my sons, my daughter and myself". "Lee is that really you?" Lynn asked.

"Yes it's her!" screeched Barbara Bloom. "You know Lynn I gave you one hell of a gig. You had the number one show and you ruined it, now I'm the dumbass and you're the talentless rube. I can't deal with it Lynn, I just can't!"

"Nor can I" said a bespectacled man hidden by the shadows. "Who are YOU?" demanded Lynn, getting anxious as her polyester skirt began to tighten around her inflated posterior.

"It's Steve Kent and Lynn, I have two very simply words for you..."

And, with the flick of his wrist, Steve delivered the message that multiple fans had been dying to hear for 2 years: "You're fired!"

    • If NBC could have for seen the ratings of Lovers & Friends (the replacement for Somerset).. they would have for sure kept Somerset on the air longer. https://jason47.com/days/ratings1976.html  (ratings for Somerset in the final year) https://jason47.com/days/ratings1977.html (ratings for Lovers & Friends short run...getting as low as a 2 rating).

    • I liked them, too, and was really disappointed it never went anywhere. The whole art theft story was ridiculous, but they had a nice chemistry. Certainly nicer than Alan with Christine. With her, he looked like the funny uncle. The worst thing they did to Bolger, IMO, was having Phillip write that DREADFUL novel and dramatizing it while he wrote it. GAG, that has to be in the running for one of their worst storylines that didn't involve wacky things like clones or time travel. Soaps rarely do school storylines, or don't do them for very long. Not the case so much in the early days of soaps, but after GH took off in the late 70s other soaps took their lead and would catapult teens/young adults into adult stories right away. That's one reason Phillip and Mindy ended up with so many ex-spouses--they started getting married really young. They shipped Dina and Cameron off really fast after high school and stuck Alan Michael in a marriage storyline with Harley. Did he EVER go to college? I don't think so. It may also partly explain why Quint and Annabelle had to go, beyond TPTB wanting to do a cast sweep. Teaching is not a profession that plays well on a soap. Quint definitely had to quit being Indiana Jones, because that wore thin really fast, but they didn't do him favors by making him a professor. If they wanted to keep him, they should have done what they did with Amanda (who was in another dead-end soap job, concert pianist)--have him work at Spaulding as one of the major stockholders.
    • Judith McConnell (Augusta) and Denise Alexander (Lesley) were great screen partners on GH.  They got into some stellar arguments in character in the medicine room.
    • He also commented that Brad knows that fans are sick of the constant fake deaths on this show: Finn, Sheila, etc and that it's hard to take this seriously if it's another fake death

    • I just don't think Brad Bell has it in him to actually kill off Liam. He should have killed off Eric when he had the chance. I know John McCook is an original cast member, but Eric is even more useless than Liam. Eric should have died and then it would be revealed that he died without a valid will, so Donna, as his wife, inherits everything, including his shares in Forrester Creations.
    • I think we all will, isn't that how soaps work? lol    
    • ^^ I'll believe it when it actually happens.
