Yep yep, in this case I don't disagree at all. And I think that was part of the problem? A desire to return to basics while also I think trying to instantly appeal to the current ABC Daytime audience, or something? This review of Loving though when it started is interesting--the foundation DID seem solid. And then.... (This also is a short article where Marland mentions how Nixon was a consultant on GH when he wrote--something that was talked about briefly--when she sold AMC and OLTL to ABC she became their overall daytime creative consultant, but I've never heard details about. Interestingly it does make public the issue with Dan Wakefield, and says Marland and Nixon will co-HW. Also I'd love to have seen Nixon supporting Marland in meetings with Gloria Monty)

I don't have the date of the first news article, but the latter SOD review is from May 1984.

    I can see why they would want to keep Amelia Heinle around, but, as you said, without Cooper, there really isn't much to do. I don't have any use really for what I've seen of Steffi in the final month

  • Do you have a link to the most recent Italian eps? From what I can tell, the instigation for Lily's story was Agnes Nixon's idea (absolutely as it's clearly spelled out in the "Love" bible that Nixon

I've seen some of James at 15 which I think shows he would be good at the younger characters is a fun show? I know I always say it, but All Her Children is such a great book.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyVx5q3AwrI
