She pimped out Carrie. I think Grayson was failing to bring in money to the agency and Carrie was having trouble booking gigs bc she was getting up there in age, so Grayson arranged for her to become a high end escort to mutually benefit both of them

As far as the MP B storylines becoming A.....maybe most but definetly not Matt...lol. Unless his stories also included Michael and Kimberly, he was relegated to some C level storylines...lol

Grayson also tried to pimp out Monique to some client but she saw through Grayson's schemes.

In the series finale, it seemed as if Sarah was to be written off the show. She spent most of the latter half of the show being a druggie, but in the finale her father came to town and Sarah eventually realized that she needed to become a better person. She then decided to move back to Iowa with her father.

If there had been a second season, they would have needed a major cast overhaul because they didn't use half of them anyway once Grayson had arrived and Monique/Adam/Grayson became the main focus. Hillary, Linda, Eric and even Brian had little to do during the second half.

They'd also added Julie's half-sister (or whatever) Anna as one of the models, scheming to take her David-replacement, Craig. It was their obvious attempt at a Sydney, right down to the hair.

I don't know why they thought the show could be carried solely by Romanov (who was fine), Samms (who was a ham) and creepy James Wilder. They would've had to do more with poor Linda Gray, who was already being marginalized. Linda and Eric were basically invisible by then, and Brian and Cynthia were sort of B-story, I think.

I agree with this.

I think the major problems with the constant retoolings on this show was the fact that this was serialized from the start, unlike Melrose who at the beginning had stand-alone episodes. Melrose did go through a few retoolings during the first season, but at the same time it wasn't as awkward as Models Inc where they would just suddenly decide to drop storylines randomly.

MODELS, INC. is the perfect soap for when I need some truly mindless entertainment that will provide me with tons of soapy developments.

Just pop any episode in and you're liable to get stupid arguments, catfights, kidnappings, breakdowns, etc. You really can't go wrong if you just want to relax and watch pure, unabashed soap.

      And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!

      The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

      It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that.

      I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

      I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.

      Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.

      I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).

      Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
