A part of me wonders if he's worried about legal action, as he was in PR. 

 

It's a real contrast to the Loving chat, where it seemed nobody involved gave a [!@#$%^&*] about decorum with backstage tales.

I can get Alan's frustration as he's hoping these work out smoothly for his sake and the audience, and I know the tech issues have been annoying in the past but I was thoroughly entertained with Kristi's antics today, talking over people, her reaction and logging on and off again. She seems sweet however. I didn't mind it. Besides, Alan could have prevented all of this so it's not entirely her fault. Also, sometimes Alan doesn't know how to follow up or continue the dialogue and there's awkward moments in conversation because of that and I'm like oh no...someone say something. 

Yes, I watched that one as well and they were definitely ready to spill. I mean that's the reason I watch these anyway, I want to know what was happening behind the scenes, how actors got along good and bad, funny moments, etc.

I think it's also because Alan was part of PGP management, and still sees himself as part of management. I didn't like how he protected PGP and MADD by pivoting when Denise Pence brought up the Zaslow situation.

 

Also if P&P someday realizes that it is sitting on a potential IP goldmine in the form of its soap archives and licenses, who are they going to ask to organize/market it? He probably doesn't want to burn bridges.

He should solicit questions from fans in advance, and have a list of those questions ready at hand during these awkward pauses. It's not that difficult.

The LADIES OF LOVING reunion was Gold Standard. If you didn’t watch LOVING, you should watch this, just to see how well it can be done. Moderators. Questions. One actor at a time. 
 

Compared to it, The Locher Room is local access cable from Alan’s basement. They’re just not getting any better.

And The Ladies of Loving had major sound issues at their start but was fixed and was a great reunion & very open about the feelings of the actors on LOVING

Thats why Im surprised that he booked Ilene Kristen for the OLTL reunion on Wednesday. She is very blunt. You cannot censor her & I  love it

Enjoyed the stories about Larkin and Jordan Clarke today...and MOL's story of crushing on Krista while they were in their working together early on. 

 

Alan's ability to access these actors is amazing...but agree he needs help w/ his interviewing skills. At one point today, Krista and MOL jumped in to ask questions.  The Loving reunion hosts had solicited questions from fans in advance and it prompted great conversation.  ALL questions related to their time on Loving and each person was asked their own question -- no discussion of home-schooling during quarantine, gardening under lockdown or the student films they did back in 82 thankfully !  

 

The AMC reunions on EW.com this week have been very well done too...everything is all about AMC.

I doubt anyone is still wondering why Kristi Ferrell never returned to GL.  She’s a fruit loop, God love her. 
 

Or was she method-acting and playing “mental breakdown Roxie” 30 years later?

 

Her former co-stars did not seem surprised or fazed by her, tho. I loved it.

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
