Members SFK Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I love the idea of a daytime miniseries. I wish they would try this now, like during the summer when all of the talk shows are reruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Wow, Greeley is a priest (Catholic, I believe). Of course Cardinal Sins was a massive best seller--I believe he's done religious based murder mysteries too. Just seems odd to have a religion based miniseries...

Members Paul Raven Posted November 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2012 Variety July 15th 1977 CBS bought "Aaron's World," created by Joan O'Brien for the '78 daytime schedule.About a medico's commitment to his children's hospital, his staff and patients. Based on original idea by Joan O'Brien, project will be developed by Linda Grover. This was mentioned back on Pg 2 but this is the written mention I have seen.

Members Gray Bunny Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 It's interesting how so many of the proposed soaps over the years don't have the typical generic names like so many of our beloved favorites do. Perhaps it's all in the name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
