How interesting that Dixie/Cady was one of Megan's all time favorites. It just goes to show what a MASSIVE ego the woman has if she cannot take criticism for her work, and has to act out and be so vengeful about it. Oh well, at least I can take some comfort in the fact that the terrible Satin Slayer SL is what eventually did that petty bitch in...

Aww I love me some Cady McClain.

I officially blame Megan McT for Dixie most likely never coming back to AMC again. If it weren't for the horrible treatment of Brooke/Julia Barr (which was one thing Cady spoke out about)...and the Tad being a torturer...and just being a bitch to her it sounds like....then Dixie would still be alive! haha

I love that interview. It's right up there with Victoria Rowell's in my book. I love when the people who've earned their scars in the business drop the sugar and put some folks on blast.

And I love the fact that she's going back to school to finish her degree. Go Cady!

Agreed. I also love how professional Cady is, while she's blasting them. It didn't sound bitter or spiteful - she just said "Look - this is what I said, this is how they misinterpreted it, and this was their obvious reaction and retaliation". But she didn't stoop to hurling insults or belittling them, the way she/Dixie were belittled at the end. Love that woman.

Yes, because all the other names "McTravesty" or "McTrash" or even the dreaded "hack" are still too descriptive.

But "the writer" is generic, bland, totally nondescript and arouses absolutely no emotion of any kind. The best way to acknowledge "the writer's" horrid contribution to daytime is to simply not acknowledge her at all.

Cady's a genius for that! LOL! :lol:

    • I'm following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
