The April 24th 1984 SOD had this to say about 'Together Again'

VAYA CON DIOS - John McCook and Jaime Lyn Bauer sizzled but 'Together Again' has fizzled.That's the news from the NAPTE convention where we noticed that the acting made sparks,but the marketing strategy and overall concept didn't. We weren't alone in our observation as the serial project picked up few Stateside sign-ups. Producers insist they'll push forward with Mexican production and international distribution, but the loss of their two top stars makes success questionable. Both John and Jaime say,"Ole?No Way!" and tell me they've opted for stable family lives and burgeoning careers her in Tinseltown.

Proposed CBS Soaps

[edit] Past Proposed Series

* 1957: The Will to Dream by Doris Frankel about the relationship between an atomic scientist and his wife

* 1964: Roy Winsor created The Widening Circle, a spinoff of The Secret Storm. A pilot was shot with James Vickery as Alan Dunbar and Diana Muldaur as Ann Wicker.

* 1971: Fred J. Scollay created Absent Without Love.

* 1972: Winifred Wolfe and Mary Harris[disambiguation needed] had a proposal for a one hour serial titled Yesterday's Child...Tomorrow's Adult

* 1982: Beverly Hills

* 1983: Grosse Pointe - set in Michigan; featured competing families in the auto industry and auto racers

* 1986: During her absence from Ryan's Hope, Michael Brockman, former President of CBS Daytime, asked Claire Labine to develop a new serial in 1986. Her proposal was entitled Celebration but never made it to the air. Had it been greenlit, Jane Greenstein would have been the Assistant to the Head Writer like she was on General Hospital from 1993-1996.

* 1986: The Billionaires by Barbara Bauer and Paul Rauch

I'm sure this has already been discussed here but was wondering if you knew any more about it.

It's from a Digest from around spring 1990. It basically talks about Secret Passions, "TV's first gay soap opera" running on cable stations in 11 major cities, produced and directed by David Gadberry. KYOU-TV, in Santa Ana, would not air the show, because of all the contrersy. This was even mentioned in Variety. The show featured love scenes between men, a gay JR Ewing, and a "radical lesbian".

Is any of this available to see?
