Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 No, I do not know but I was thinking that I might look on Peacock & see if I could figure that out. I might even try to do a rewatch of it & capture the scene. I believe one of the detectives even makes a comment about the TV show that is on. That would seem to me to be an interesting addition to my "Stunts" reels & of course I always pass info like this on to Eddie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Margaret DePriest, who we called "Maggie the Beast", wrote 3 serial killer storylines at AW. One, the Sin Stalker, years ago, and 2 in the 90s, always male killers & female victims. She wrote serial killer storylines at other soaps, too. Donna Swajeski began working for the network. She crossed over & began writing for AW during a strike, so she was a scab. Later, that same network forced her to write something in an AW story that she was dead-set against. At GL she wrote my favorite "Otalia" love scene, where Olivia & Natalia FINALLY break down & confess their love for each other. So success at AW, followed by success at GL but then next at AMC fairly epic fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Woah that's hell of a lot of serial killer stories! And were they any good though? And it's interesting to learn more about Donna Swajeski, who I'm finding to be... one hell of a great head writer. Thank you for that bit of info.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 I can think of 2 that were good, IMO. AW, the Sin Stalker where David O'Brien played shrink Dr. Alan Glaser who was revealed to be the Sin Stalker. O'Brien, a wonderful actor, Steve on THE DOCTORS. At DAYS she wrote a good one but I can't remember his moniker. But, most of the rest, I would say not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Thank you! Now I want to go back and watch the Sin Stalker storyline. Probably when I run out of the Soapnet episodes I will go back to 1886 - 1987. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Felicia's niece, Lisa Grady, who is psychic, is Vicky's nemesis & a patient of Glaser's & the Sin Stalker begins to stalk her. Felicia Gallant nee Fanny Grady. I'm not spoiling; I'm teasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Okay, you got it. AW is home base to me & Mona & have a mutual admiration society. He just thought something was being suggested that would have been bizarre if it had been!!! But, no one was suggesting it, so we got the all clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 (edited) I was only kidding just now! And even if someone had taken it seriously, I wouldn't have cared! And I'm happy that it's a home for you two... And now it's home to me too. I've come to stay in this topic! My car is parked outside... and my luggage is at the door...

I'm pressing play on July 17th 1987 just this minute. We'll see how episode 3 of my DePriest experiment goes!

Members Xanthe Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 On the plus side, the pace of her storytelling was less sluggish than it had been in 1985. Lesoleil and Egypt/Arizona had been full of strange new characters and draggy mysteries. But on the minus side, DePriest was not subtle, was overly simplistic, and creepy when it came to sexuality, especially (always female) virginity. She wrote out characters who added flavour because she considered them outside her core families. She ignored most history and replaced it with her own idea of what would create the most tension in the present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Oh my! All of this sounds like I'm in for a ride... not sure if it's going to be a blissful Ferris wheel or a horrifying roller coaster. I guess I'll find out soon or later. Haha! But I do love your commentary and insights! Thank you for keeping me on my toes! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 (edited) I remember the rumor being that SoapNet picked that time period of AW to show because they thought it would been easier for new viewers to get accustomed to it.

Members Maxim Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Shame they didn't air more... (hulu continued mid 1991 to late 1992...) but still... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Come on in! We like it here. And, Xanthe & Mona & EFulton speak so wonderfully about our favorite soap that NBC execs were heard to say wonderful things about it only after they let it be canceled! (Humming You Take Me Away to Another World ...) Tanqueray & diet tonic coming right up! But, cookies, all I have is macaroons! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
