Members SFK Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 Wanda's World, funny title but I'd love to hear more about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 So would I. I'd never heard of it. That title seems odd. For some reason it reminds me of that Jamie Foxx character on In Living Color. 1971 might have been a little too late, as that was when the country was starting to flee from wanting to talk about race.

Members psychofan Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I know I'm in the minority here, but I would have LOVED to see Megan McTavish's soap opera. Say what you will about her, but she had me hooked on AMC when she was writing...regardless of her dark plotlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I was very up and down with her writing but when it was up, it was some of my favorite soap stuff. So I would have liked seeing it too, as long as it didn't turn into a vile rapefest or any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted April 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 In August 78, ABC officially announced it was developing a new soap 'The Best Years' from Annn Marcus.It involved the love triangles of parents,students and teachers of a Southern California beachtown high school community. Headwriters will be Joyce Perry and Ray Goldstone,all then working on Days. This is the first I ever read about this.I wonder if ABC had it in development due to GH almost being cancelled in late 77.Of course,GH had a remarkable comeback but ABC might still have been interested.

Members All My Shadows Posted May 7, 2011 Members Share Posted May 7, 2011 RW really began as sort of a "scripted reality" show like The Hills. They got seven strangers and gave them character personas to take on as well as storylines to play. They decided that they didn't need to do all of that because the seven people on their own could create enough drama, so they scrapped the cast they had assembled and started all over again with the first season.
