Members Contessa Donatella Posted Tuesday at 11:00 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 11:00 PM That's all well & good but it's not going to keep disenfranchised or even inconvenienced fans from holding a grudge, when it's their favorite soap on the short end of the stick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted yesterday at 02:11 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 02:11 AM (edited) I agree. I mean, if I had been in her shoes, and ABCD had come to me and said, "Please give us another show, we'll give you X amount of dollars and even let you own it," of course I'm going to say "Sure." Frankly, ABCD would've been better off cancelling RH in 1983 (not that that would've guaranteed a successful run for LOVING). RH was already on life support by then; it just took ABCD another six years for them to pull the plug.

Members DRW50 Posted yesterday at 03:03 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 03:03 AM (edited) Thanks @EricMontreal22 for the links and thank you to @GymnastGuy and Mike Poirier for sharing them. I am glad to see anything new of this era, clips or episodes. As for Agnes Nixon "stabbing Ryan's Hope in the back," I said my views on that at the time the video first went up and they haven't changed. I can see why a fan may feel that way, but Agnes did not owe Ryan's Hope anything. If anything, Ryan's Hope may never have gotten on the air if not for the successes of AMC and OLTL. Maybe as some form of collective apology we can write a new world where Agnes, clouded with guilt, returned to OLTL and helped the Labines manage to get better stories on when they wrote for the show in 1997.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted yesterday at 03:26 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 03:26 AM I think this is what always gets me. Don't get me wrong--I've stuck with a fave soap for YEARS of mediocre or even bad writing and still mourned when it was cancelled, so I get it. But it's not like RH was at a creative high and ABC/Evil Aggie were sabotaging it (well maybe ABC was with some of the creatives they hired...) @DRW50 I completely agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted yesterday at 09:02 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 09:02 AM Exactly. It was business and as even Megan McTavish noted in her memoir, Agnes was a consummate, laser-focused businesswoman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
