Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 25, 2022 Members Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Well, since NBC's stance was that they either wanted to change AW into a DOOLjr or run it off or kill it & they'd been actively trying to destroy the show, also tried to wrest Victoria away & kill Rachel off, etc. that would've been a character changing move by the network. P&G's stance was trying to keep NBC from killing the show. Okay, I'm confused. I recall Victoria telling me that they had been told that they were bringing them a HW who would write romance & their being cautiously optimistic. And, I thought that who that ended up being was Jean Passanante & that the "romance" she brought them was Lumina & that was another disappointing blow to the cast, etc. And, I also further thought that Amanda & Cameron's love story was "The Secret Garden" not Lumina at all but a second storyline. IMO, the only good thing at that time was the Lumina Ball because who can resist a costume ball? Adding: And the only other thing I knew about Lumina was that NBC pushed it.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 25, 2022 Members Share Posted May 25, 2022 They were co-head writers. Idk about Passanante but Leah Laiman had a really strong background in writing romance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 25, 2022 Members Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Oh, well, Passanante is said to be strong in writing romance, too. And, that they were co-HW, itself, makes it make sense. Also with two of them with the same bent, it's easy to see how they could get the Lumina plate spinning & then start up "The Secret Garden" for Amanda & new guy! Vicky said that, too, that she was promised that they would really write for Cory family members.

Members teplin Posted May 26, 2022 Members Share Posted May 26, 2022 Sad news -- Ray Liotta has died. I loved him as quintessential good guy Joey Perrini on AW. Who knew he'd build a long career on playing bad guys? RIP. https://deadline.com/2022/05/ray-liotta-dies-67-goodfellas-1235033521/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 27, 2022 Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 Donna, that really isn't appropriate to the topic of Ray Liotta passing but you knew that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 27, 2022 Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 I will remove the post that offends you because it offends you but that does not mean I agree that it is offensive. If I found something inappropriate, I wouldn't post it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 27, 2022 Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 That's because you don't find anything you do or say inappropriate or off-topic if it comes from you. This is your second screen name in less than a year, consider taking a beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 27, 2022 Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 One, no, that's not the way I think at all, but it's no surprise that you do not know how I think because you do not know me. Two, I was here years ago & I'm here now. I wasn't here in between. And I do take beats, regularly. I think most people do. Now, I don't want to have a conflict. I edited the post you found offensive because you found it offensive, but there's nothing going on to make a big thing of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted May 28, 2022 Members Share Posted May 28, 2022 Please register in order to view this content ok so my initial idea was just to leave this vid here because it's the Donna on the hall of mirrors and i always wanted to see it so i thought i might leave it in case someone else was curious too But i read the most recent discussion a real pity, i was revisiting the Perrinis just about a week ago even found footage with Maeve as Angie, Ray was sweet and handsome in the role, very good actor since he was that young, it's an enormous pity he passed, now i'm kinda sorry for Maeve too, she lost yet another colleague on such short time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 28, 2022 Members Share Posted May 28, 2022 I still have that entire week on useless videotape, starring: Anna Stuart finally back from Hollywood! Derek Dane as the strong man! The House Of Mirrors! And Felicia, sporting the world's worst hair extensions! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 28, 2022 Members Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Ray Liotta, RIP, They Started on Soaps @RealKevinConroy Starting out in NY in 1981 I was on Another World with Ray for a year. I was 25 playing a 25 yr old detective. He was 26 playing a teenager! He was totally believable. Gone too soon RIP Ray Liotta.
