Members Liberty City Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 I think Alan relies a lot of his guests navigating dialogue... at least, that was in the initial "interviews," and unfortunate he is pushing for a more interview-type platform, and he isn't adapting himself for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) A spot on assessment. I can't stand him. Edited July 12, 2021 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 The best episodes of his show are when his guests start reminiscing with each other and end up almost ignoring him. That's not an insult to Alan, but the guests sometimes just kind of do the heavy lifting for him. It feels almost organic. Today, I listened to the Mart Hulswit/Fran Myers episode. They were both terrific and I was especially charmed by Mart. His voice was so gentle yet commanding. I could have listened to him forever. I wanted to shush Alan every time he interrupted Mart and Fran. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 Because those original pieces, especially the initial As the World Turns and Guiding Light reunions were about coming back with discussion... not endless questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 Exactly. Alan needs to learn that we are not watching the shows to see him. We want to see the actors and actresses, and we want THEM to dictate the conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frozpog1 Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 I cringe every time he says “our fans” … not sure how many people watching these reunions are his fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 When he says "our fans," I am pretty sure he's speaking in terms of the soap the interview is related to... or, at least, I hope that's what he means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's definitely cringeworthy...especially the way he says it. Ugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members redontop4 Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 Where in the interview do they talk about NC's uncredited work at AMC and GH? I missed that. She talks about negotiating to take over GH at the 59:50 mark but says she did not take the job due to her third pregnancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 Alan mentioned it at the top of the interview then restated to Nancy when she was onscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members redontop4 Posted July 14, 2021 Members Share Posted July 14, 2021 Ah, you're right. At the top, Alan says NC wrote for AMC and OLTL. I wonder when that was and what she was responsible for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted July 14, 2021 Members Share Posted July 14, 2021 She's admitted in other interviews to being a consultant for ABC Daytime in the mid-90's (which is why she was probably considered for the GH HW role), but I don't think she was ever officially credited for writing anything on those shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
