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!"

    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.

    • I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds. 
    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.

    • I read an interview with Lenore Kasdorf and she had said was asked back to GL in 1987 but she turned it down but she said now with Michael (Roger) and Maureen (Holly) back, she would be more interested in returning. This had to be around 1989 and I think in SOD (more of a where are they now? type of article)
    • Beyond what was listed, I think there are a few other moments early on - Nixon tested the waters of having a black female character in a larger supporting part on AW, helping to pave the way for Carla and Sadie on OLTL. Rachel/Ada is in some ways a template for Carla/Sadie, although Carla was much more tormented and her scheming was from preservation.  Jordan Charney eventually arrived at OLTL after his AW success, although that was not duplicated. Doris Belack's success was, several times over.  
    • Jonathan Kellerman has written 40 novels centered on the character of Alex Delaware, with the first being When the Bough Breaks from 1985. One of the aspects of the series which I find so appealing is that characters grow, evolve and change as time goes on. They act and react in a believable, human fashion. While each book tells one complete story, certain relationship threads can continue as the series evolves. Occasional references to the past (from previous novels) also make the readers feel like we know the characters intimately; that we are "living" with them through the years. Actor John Rubenstein (of the 1970s' TV series Family) narrates the audiobooks, and he is perfectly cast. I've never read or listened to an Alex Delaware story which I did not enjoy.
