Members brimike Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 I often think about the disturbing "Bizarro-world" aspect of Melaswen, and how it would have translated had someone like Ed Scott been in control. I would have loved to see sets that are SO CLOSE to the sets in Salem, but something was... off. And how off-balance and "vertigoed" (yes, I know that's not a word) the victims felt when they woke up. It should have been dark and edgy and creepy, and I think we all would have been more forgiving. But instead it was over-lit, campy and silly. Oh, how I wish ES had come years before...

Administrator Toups Posted March 14, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted March 14, 2008 YES! YES! YES! Oh I can just imagine what Ed Scott would've done with the SSK! Instead we got Wyman's production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 Who needs "How I Met Your Mother" when all the funny's right here on the SON? And now, I'm the one who has no words. And it's a darn good theory, too, Toups. Now, justify - I mean, er - explain Aremid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cal3 Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 I actually prefer BW in the role now than ET. I also agree that Clint Ritchie and Roger Howarth are not the solutions to what ails the show or the characters of Clint and Todd. I also think that as a general rule any character can be played by multiple actors. However, I don't think the replacements are working like they once did. CC's Marty was not a case of an ES taking over a prior role and making it hers. Somehow there has to be a middle ground between viewing an actor as a fungible unit and a sacred cow.

Members Noel Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 I believe in most places GL airs at 3:00 competing with General Hospital. It's been like that ever since I was born. But in some other markets, it airs at 10:00 eastern time and 9:00 central time. I believe in Chicago, they switched it back to 2:00 but in places like Michigan, it still airs at 10:00. However, in places like Sacramento, California Guiding Light doesn't air at all. But I guess to answer your question about Passions, I believe Passions viewers had three or four soap alternatives. 1- Switch to DirecTV 2- Switch to As The World Turns 3- Switch to One Life To Live 4- Switch to One Tree Hill on SoapNet ETA: Leah Bauer is a teenager as well. So altogether, you have Daisy, Rafe, and Leah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phoenix11 Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 I can't speak for everyone, but way back when I was in that age bracket... I didn't watch GL for the teen scene. It was Josh/Reva, Roger/Holly, Vanessa/Billy/Nadine, A-M/Blake, and later on the Blackout and the Daniel St. John story. I honestly couldn't have cared less what the teens were doing!

Members JackPeyton Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 Roman, for once we agree. Only two good things from that - We got Suzanne Rogers back, even if she is only used once a month it is better than never. And the other was that moment Maggie saw Marlena and had the machete in her hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well, to be fair not everyone has direct tv or soapnet.... but small details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well Jack- those were the only alternatives I could think of. Or watch what they air on my local affiliate- Law & Order. But I like As the World Turns I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's nice of you to say but if you want to have a discussion with me could you show me the respect of agreeing or disagreeing based on the things I actually say and not "profile" me? I don't like Carlivati's writing. I liked Malone better. I'm an even bigger proponent of bringing in fresh blood for all soaps. Why can't that just stand on it's own? I've read whole manifestos against Guza and for JER, against McTavish and for the Bells. Why is RC sacred? Why does the fact that I'm just not impressed mean that I'm probably, possibly, could be a member of The Others? Why is it so hard to believe that I find the renewal of the Nora/Lindsay feud just as flat and disappointing as "3 women, 1 sexy man?" And that has nothing to do with Evangeline. (BTW if you want to see me get rabid about something, let me get started on OLTL's treatment of Dan Gauthier. AFAIC they deserve to tank for that alone.)

Members Khan Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 Deal. But I wasn't profiling you! I was attempting humor (and as always, failing miserably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 My apologies. I love good sarcasm and it just can't survive on the internet. Damn! I pulled out one of my best soap box speeches too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
