I'm not sure he said he never got Jack and Carly---but there was some kind of quote about him trying to sink them like the Titanic, and the Carjack fans keeping coming back or something.a

Ironic that his men were "ball-less", and his epitome of manliness were Craig, Dusty and RH's Paul. UGH.

Oh, and one of Pissanante's first interviews she took credit for Bryant's death and how that was about "humanizing" Craig. To this day Craig is the same self-absorbed, amoral douchebag he was the day Hunt Block's Craig ignored Carly's pleas for help in Hong Kong and asked "what's in it for me?"

I instantly thought of both Ken Corday and Brad Bell when I saw this topic:

"What Ken and I both agree on is that Jim is the right guy to be the creative leader overseeing the next wave of stories for Days. We saw in Jim someone who had a proven track record, and we wanted to bring him back."--Former NBC Daytime President Sheraton Kalouria on JER's 2003 return.

"I won't deny we were looking for a shocking, ambiguous moment...but I am not comfortable labeling it rape. In my mind, it is not rape." --Kay Alden on Paul's rape of Christine. Since then we've seen lots of so call ambiguous rape.

"We've tried to keep the family groups intact, so our audience over the years can continue to identify with these core characters. We do it for the grandmothers, mothers and fathers and children who grew up with the show, and to attract new generations of audience."--Paul Rauch on GL's 65th anniversary. What a BS statement for him to make.

Yes, it was. Apparently Bo and his balls were safe on the backburner for Sheffer's whole run.

I remember a lot of the same "I don't know anything about this show" type of stuff that he also peddled at ATWT. I guess he may have expected to get the same savior reaction he got at ATWT.

Oh, and he said he wanted to make Lucas and Sami funny again.

Lucas: RAGERAGERAGERAGE

Sami: CRYCRYCRYCRY

My sides are splitting.

I was wrong about the quote with dating his niece. He said it hypothetically, that he'd never let his brother date his daughter just because she was adopted. Sorry about that. I have too many interview comments rattling in my head. :wacko:

Here's a quote from MAB back in the summer that had me rolling my eyes. Now when I think about it I just laugh.

"One of our 'young' storylines this summer involves Daniel in a story of intrigue, jeopardy, and romance, and how it will affect him, Amber, Kevin and Jana. To me Daniel is a compelling character and exciting to watch. And it's because of that that I think [the storyline will] be a must-watch amoung viewers- young and old alike." -from SOD

Guza's quotes about how his current sweeps storyline was going to be like nothing seen on daytime are also worth mentioning.

“These are not youngsters struggling to make mortgage payments or feed their children,” Ms. McTavish said. “Their sole intent now seems to be piling up more money for themselves.”

It's not about AMC directly, as much as it is about B&E going FiCore during the strike to write it... but it still goes down in my book as a major STFU!

I always found it humorous how Megan McTavish, of all people, would be incensed about writers going Fi-Core. What's the matter, Meg? Afraid they'll do a better job while you're away?

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By Franko · Posted

      I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.

      I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.

      Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.

      It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.

      I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.

      Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

      Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.

      I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
