Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 23, 2021 Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 I was watching the reunion upload with Carolyn Ann Clark and Kristen Vigard and although I thought the two were entertaining, I burst out laughing and thought of this conversation when I heard him say this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted August 23, 2021 Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sad to say, his interviewing skills have not improved. While I appreciate his ability to get terrific guests, his moderating leaves much to be desired. One of his better GL centered shows was with Krista Tesreau and Mark Lewis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted August 23, 2021 Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 He has recently joined a vintage soap opera board on Facebook. Now that he is a member, I wonder if folks there will refrain from giving their honest opinions of his "interviewing" style, just out of courtesy. I don't want his feelings slaughtered, of course, but it will be unfortunate if other members can no longer say what they truly think, and must stifle themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 23, 2021 Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 One thing that I have learned from having to critique people's work, in the past, even in person, face to face, during writing workshops, is that you should lead with a positive comment first. I would say "I appreciate the fact that you started these virtual reunions during a time when there is so much anxiety and people are looking for comfort". Then I would say "I like that you're using clips of scenes from these soaps that the guests can comment on", then I would suggest that he'd probably be great at focusing on producing the show and working with a host, he could likely do even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted August 23, 2021 Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Exactly. When you host any kind of show, I think your guests and your viewers deserve more scintillating moderating than "wow...wow...wow...that's crazy". But more than that, he doesn't do his homework and often gets facts wrong. If he would work at it more and listen to constructive feedback, his show would be so much better. I don't want his feelings hurt, either. Constructive criticism is different than just bashing someone. I mentioned really liking his show with Krista Tesreau and Mark Lewis. Oddly enough, I think Mark Lewis directed a play I saw at Wheaton College many years ago. I read he's been there since 1995, and my church youth group traveled from Cleveland to Chicago and saw that play in 1997. I'll have to write him and check. I have long since forgotten the name of that play. Edited August 23, 2021 by amybrickwallace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted August 24, 2021 Members Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is TV guide the name of the publication ? I couldn't find it when I tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted August 24, 2021 Members Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Yeah it is. For some reason the files do not come up with the covers. Here is a screenshot with results. This is just from filtering 1953. You can then filter further to just reduce it to TV Guide only Please register in order to view this content Edited August 24, 2021 by will81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 12, 2021 Members Share Posted September 12, 2021 Thanks for posting that article. Today, Lynne Adams (Leslie) is the sister-in-law of Tony Shalhoub (he's married to Lynne's sister Brooke, who is also an actress). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zanereed Posted September 14, 2021 Members Share Posted September 14, 2021 Thank you for posting this. Can anyone out there clarify for me if Lynne Adams *wanted* to leave TGL, or if the Dobsons decided to simply write out Leslie (as they had earlier with Joe Werner) to free Mike up for new romantic entanglements. I still wish Mike and Leslie would have had a son or daughter. I suppose that might have been too weird at that time in the 1970's to have a child who would have had the same mother and two different fathers...who were also brothers! Or, had that already happened on another soap and I just can't recall it...? Also, for curiosity's sake - I recall that Don Stewart had better chemistry with Barbara Rodell versus Lynne Adams. Can anyone clarify that, as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
