Members Actor87 Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 Who gives a fluck about the set? WE GET A HUGHES-CENTRIC CHRISTMAS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 They need to add Lisa and Barbara and I will be happy. I think the show is way ahead in taping. I think they are taping January shows already. The Christmas show has been taped. I think it was taped in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 It will be nice to see Nancy again. I didn't think we would. I wish they could bring back Frannie, Sabrina, or Andy, or Penny. I am tired of the No Hughes policy. Even Chris. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 I am still wondering if ex- Bill Lewis will be Nu-Chris. I agree. Andy and Frannie need to return. What is Mary Ellen Stuart up to now? I didnt care for Sabrina. I would love to see Ellen Stewart back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 The last I saw of Mary Ellen was those commercials with Ed Fry which no longer air. When they stopped doing those I said to myself, "Well I'm never buying anything from them." But then I never did anyway... I'd love to see Ellen back too. Yet another character who apparently never existed. I'd love to see her bust Susan's chops one last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 John Valente axed Ellen. He should have been fired as soon as he did that. He had just started and soon fired her. Didnt she leave town for some reason...something about David's Foundation. Didnt she later return during Broderick's exist writing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 She came back for a holiday visit in 1998, yes. There were so many vets fired when Valente took over. We heard this was because of the budget, and that this was a step in the right direction, and so on. I know they probably had to cut some of the fat but I still thought they made some questionable decisions in who they fired. What I hated was they said, "oh, Pat Bruder's on recurring." So recurring that she did not appear once in his entire run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ellen was one of my favorite characters. At the time I thought the decision to fire her might help the show focus on the 30's/40's something scene. Instead we got awful storytelling and new mindless useless characters. I thought once Goutman returned....FMB for that matter that she would have been asked back to return full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think they just figured she was a part of the past, why bother. Ellen had become a minor character and it was mostly Marland's ability to weave tapestries which kept her around. I do think she provided a vital element to both Susan and to Emily, and a talk-to for the Hughes, but then, the Hughes barely even got to speak during some of the above periods anyway.

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 This sounds great to me! I think I might need to tape and keep this one. I am afraid this may be the last we will see of them together unless they show them their final week on air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanx,Ron! I have been around,I just haven't liked a lot of what I was seeing on ATWT to post. I must say things are getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted November 25, 2009 Members Share Posted November 25, 2009 Okay, not that I'd mind a Hughes-centric Xmas episode, but I don't think it's the only Christmas that will be shown. Both CZP and Michael Park mentioned taping Xmas, and both made it sound like the entire cast was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
