Ok this is about to get even more interesting. Wikipedia is saying that Lorraine and Karen Lewis are going to be co-HWs. Another message board has already picked up on this, and they are intimating that Lorraine is coming on for a few months to train Karen to eventually fly solo as HW. She dates back to the old Wisner Washam days. Who knows how true it is. All of this is supposedly happening, yet an announcement about Lorraine hasn't even been made yet LOL.

Who even wrote that Wikipedia. I love the sentence that she has a feud with Passanante and refused a job from Carlivati (implying they're somehow connected?)

Yep and as we discussed on page 4 or somewhere in this thread it was perhaps onbe of the boringest storylines on the show ever (OK, I said that, some on here said they liked it...) But thankfully it got rid of Charlie the Horse.

Oh yeah, I fully agree with you, luckily there were far more interesting stories going on at the time so it didn't matter that it was a boring C story... I just was using it to support the notion of AMC once being a very socially/culturally relevant show.

I never understood Shapiro firing McTavish and slamming her work to the press and then hiring her at OLTL, and then letting her go to GH as HW. Especially after Felicia Minei Behr came on as a Vice President of ABC Daytime and called JFP and McTavish's OLTL "absolutely unwatchable."

The woman must have something on every superior she has reported too over the years Its mind boggling how that woman has gotten so many chances on that network. If the genre lasts long enough, I am sure she will probably get another one.

Oh God, remember Gloria poisoning Adam's rice pudding, hahaha, I think I have an old ep of Gloria in the loony bin,she had some crazy ass eye balls when she went over the deep end.

Ugh! If I had to hear Gloria chant "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a wound for a wound..." one more time every time she poisoned his pudding... Alright, we get it!! It's payback! Sheesh!

Well if that isn't a Catch-22 if I ever heard one!

Who knows the real story? Maybe Megan had some kind of contract with ABC that the network couldn't get out of. Maybe instead of paying her while she sat on her ass, they decided to shuttle her to OLTL which was in bad shape at the time. Maybe their logic was "what harm could this do." JFP really took to her, and I remember some mutual lovefest interview in one of the tabloids. Megan did get the demos up at OLTL, which probably earned her the GH gig when JFP became EP over there. I always got the impression that JFP/Megan to GH was a package deal.

Well Megan definitely made enough money off of ABC to support her pastime as a dog breeder.

I got that too. Certainly OLTL in 99 was in worse shape than AMC in 99 and no one at ABC seemed to know what to do with it (whereas they kinda knew what to do with AMC--beg and hire Agnes back for as long as possible). Maybe Megan was still on contract and tiwas cheap for them?

Eric's up late again. You've apparently haven't gotten to my post.

Is 9:45 late for you?

No I think your post got lost in the shuffle lol

It was very odd. Opal and Palmer divorced because he had paintings and didn't tell her about it. It was dumb.

I am pretty sure the issue was not that he had paintings, but that he had stolen Nazi art--art the Nazis stole themselves. This is something fairly reprehensible and to this day governments pretend they want to return art (when they are not secretly keeping it themselves). I liked that story because it was a new low for Palmer and after years of Opal he was desperately in need of a new low. I think he had to go on the run briefly too because the government was closing in on him.

I love ABC's consultant program

LOL I just mean they've had a number of people we've known have been hired consultants, and it often doesn't seem to have done much good...

I wonder if they still have those ghost consultants... What was the name of that woman who teaches screenwriting somewhere?

The implausible and pointless resurrection of Erica's "true love" Mike Roy, whose death was supposed to have life-altering effects on her character in the 80's... to bring him back as a nuisance, and mostly for laughs? Total failure.

Oh man!!!! That was when she had to pick Jack or Mike! She chose Jack but had sex with Mike to say goodbye! UGH! But then when Jack caught them she rationalized it by saying, but Jack! We were just saying goodbye! UGH! That pissed me off! And she wouldn't freaking stop saying that! I wanted to smack her! Then what 1 or 2 yrs later she would say it again! UGH! I am so glad she doesn't say it anymore!
