Great interview! Love Louise and can't wait to see her back on my tv screen.

I was surprised to see so much Reilly talk, but of course I didn't mind. :)

Yeah, that role on Passions made no sense. I wonder why they cast her in such a day-player role. Louise would've fit perfectly on the show.

Damn that Tom Langan!!

I'm glad Reilly decided to keep Vivian around and made her popular.

Word to this. Reilly-1 was so awesome. He made almost everything word back then.

Yes he did. This is an example where a writer is allowed to write his vision. An example of how he was given TIME to set things up. And it paid off. Now soaps change storylines every 6 months. Once JER set up all the storylines, it was non stop action up until his very last day.

It's shocking that she would do this, especially considering the Augusta Lockridge killing the pigeon thing that she fought Bridget and Jerry Dobson over.

It was that way with DAYS Run #1, where there was a little bit of accountability in the form of Tom Langan and Corday and MAYBE the network. Flying Solo, Reilly clearly exercised his right to develop a freak show.

Reilly run #1 without that accountability would have ended NBC Daytime in 1995.

AND wait...

Louise Sorel and Paul Rauch "dated"? YUCK! I didn't think she was his type(blonde, big boobs, blue eyes).

They dated when Rauch was at OLTL, after she was cast as Judith Sanders. Supposedly that's the reason Judith got such an abrupt exit from the show, because the relationship ended and he didn't want her on the show anymore.

Toups might have the actual quote or source, but I thought Reilly was given free reign after the success of Maison Blanche which was early to mid-1994.

I think the reason his early stories (Who killed Curtis Reid, Alan/Sami rape, Buried Alive, Maison Blanche, Kates introduction, Laura Horton returns, Kristin & Peter etc.) were so good was because he hadn't forgotten what he had learnt at GL yet and initially he had Sheri Anderson holding his hand.

Anyway, can't wait to see Aunt Viv on screen, she even transcends the crappy previews they make for this show.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
