Paul Avila Mayer lasted exactly 26 weeks at SFT and I'd love to know who and how he was hired. I suspect Ellen Barrett was behind it but she was fired or left three weeks before Mayer started. Interestingly, there was a 2 week writers' strike in spring 1985. Both ATWT and AW didn't have writers listed from about 4/1 to 4/15. Mayer/Braxton started on March 25 and continued to be listed through this brief strike which leads me to believe he was hired and wrote months of material before the strike. Given that he also lasted exactly 26 weeks, I'm assuming that he had he couldn't be fired before 26 weeks (whereas most junior writers were (and maybe still) are on 13 week cycles. As far as his storylines, the circus was the pretty awful as were all of his stories. He clearly had a terribly old fashioned view of women and teen girls. The whole plot was designed for TR to be in danger as he build the triangle with her, Ryder and Danny. Mayer's take on women was also apparent in his character assassination of Sonny as well as the relationships Sonny had built with Hogan and Liza. Sherry Mathis and David Forsyth were riveting in their scenes when they discovered their passion but when integrated into the canvas, it was a terrible decision. Mayer retired from soaps and became a psychoanalyst after his SFT stint. -
I missed part of the Joselyn / Trina conversation. Did Trina say she was moving out? If so why?

Her and her sister...Hayley?? Would make Naomi have to do something nice for Hayley by reuniting them. I know there's speculation June and Hayley are related.

Ignore them; they kept saying they wanted Tyler Perry's "ratchetness", which again would be stereotyping, and yet now they call out what they perceive as stereotypes. It's laughable. -

I will assume that picture June left behind was her with a child/family?
