I think the Maureen's death episodes of The Locher Room illustrate Locher's strengths and weaknesses. The Parker/Sloan/Kinkead/Brown interview was real and it provided some insight and information. Sloan and Parker did not need or want protected. Curlee and Demorest were also honest. The JFP interview was fine for what is, but it was PR spin because he was constantly trying to soften whatever decision she had made or change the subject because she did want to be protected or forgiven.

I don't know if she specifically wanted it for Emmy bait..though she did want to do a "twin" story..and since the dummies in daytime automatically rave over a double story I made that assumption. 

I think it would have been much better all around and make much more sense for Reva to have a split...she basically did when she was both the ugh..Queen and then as Rebecca. I think Zimmer would have done well with it..(but what would Reva's split be...a mousy librarian who didn't like attention or sex??)

In looking for other things, I came across Michael Zaslow writing about getting sick and having to talk to Paul Rauch about it. I had forgotten that Zaslow and Rauch had worked together on OLTL as well. Zaslow's comments are interesting about Rauch and in relation to what later happened re: Zaslow's departure.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him when FV clearly took a shine to him. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field with both with very different people. Then maybe put them back together, who knows.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
