With this documentary screening at Universal Studios and the Passions fan festival a few years ago, NBC has been treating PSNS well after death in terms of fan service. I’d like to see these things done with other soaps as well, specifically Sunset Beach.

 

"Sunset Beach" was partially produced by Spelling Television, which was absorbed by CBS. Don't think they'd be interested in any of it. 

 

I think with "Passions," NBC knows its a cult classic and is playing it up as long as it costs next to nothing.

Ron Carlivati recently revealed on Twitter that he proposed a vampire spin off for OLTL in 2008 that would’ve been called OLTL: Resurrection. Obviously it didn’t happen but that furthers my thinking that Ron would’ve been a good replacement after Jim’s passing had the show got a 10th season.

 

Before I read the context (didn't see your whole post outside of the sidebar preview on the front page), I was thinking you meant a supernatural "One Life to Live" spinoff would have been a good idea. With that said, yeah, I think Ron Carlivati is good for outlandish, supernatural-ish type programs moreso than the soaps that are on today. What I wish he would have done with "DAYS" was instead of playing old stories again, do the unexpected and make things more character based and more love and passion without pairing up rapists/murderers with heroins. Or rehashing dead, dead, dead, princess storylines, or resurrecting a respectfully dead character.

Yes, definitely. The show just could not re-create the magic, no matter how hard they tried. I re-watched a few episodes from the mid-2000s and found myself thinking how pointless it was to saddle Tabitha with Baby Endora (and her speech bubbles).

 

What about Cracked Connie?

Couldn't stand her, or her boyfriend Cecil. I will concede that the writers were probably scrambling after Josh Ryan Evans' death and I'm sure there was a desire to keep the dynamic of Tabitha and a short/young companion. Ultimately, Kay ended up being Tabitha's best foil after Timmy.

Yes, and it worked perfectly.

Does anyone know if the documentary will still be released despite the red carpet event being canceled?

I've looked but couldn't find out anything.

I enjoyed it but there was too many people. They should have done just a few people at a time, like Alan Locher does

For those that missed it, here it is in its entirety. I love that Deanna Wright made a surprise pop up visit, she literally has been out of public since the show ended so it was nice to see her today. Also, loved McKenzie Westmore calling BS on her character ending up with Antonio haha!

What has she done with her face? Oh my. I'm talking about McKenzie, of course.

 

Although Taylor Anne Mountz was the only Kay Bennett in my book, I also loved Deanna Wright.

Yup, she's also stated that on social media over the years. I'd love to know exactly what happened behind the scenes that led to the demise of Luis and Sheridan.

I’m watching 2000 Passions. It is pretty darn addictive. I love how funny it is. Using Tabitha/Timmy as a Greek chorus is pretty brilliant. Also, you don’t even notice how little plot movement there is because there are all these awesome side quests like Tabitha getting turned into a fish. The individual episodes have really good script writing and seem like they have a lot going on in them. Idk how exactly to describe it, but Reilly had it down to a science of how to make it seem like the plot was moving when it wasn’t.
 

Currently I’m in the summer. I’d totally forgotten Maureen McCormick was in this as Gwen’s mother. All I can see is Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, unfortunately. The episode I ended with tonight had Charity picking mushrooms to poison Miguel, lollll.
