Members soapfan770 Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Although I don't watch OLTL I still found this funny as it seems to be one of those many pointless stunts that turned out to be coffin nails. MAB will probably do the same down the line, ala SFT's own live episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 I don't think the live week was a coffin nail. It was basically just a stunt. The real problem on OLTL at this time were the stories -- Niki's 2002 return was one of the worst stories in OLTL history. The only real bright spot in terms of major stories was Blair finding out about the dead baby lie. I'd forgotten that they had people show up for cameos. I kind of wish they'd do that now. If they had Brynn Thayer walk through a scene with the 30 year old Fords I might pay more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thing is, Gary Tomlin tried this [!@#$%^&*] before @ SEARCH FOR TOMORROW. (Remember the conveniently destroyed tape that caused the show to go live again for one day?) And the ratings experienced only a little bump then, too. People don't care if a show's being transmitted live or not -- and they're certainly not gonna watch just to see if anyone will screw up (on purpose)! You want me to give a damn about Ford and James, OLTL? Well, revealing Jenny Wolek as their mom would be a start. (The rest, of course, is up to the actors. Oops, nevermind.)

Members MichaelGL Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 I didn't find this stunt to be all that bad, let alone a coffin nail. It actually was a bright point for me as a viewer, showing just how capable the actors of OLTL were as well as the writers at the time who used the week as a climax for some of their stories.

Members dragonflies Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 Coffin nail? Hardly. It was something FUN and DIFFERENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 Exactly...I think the live week is right up there with the Babes Behind Bars and (especially) the Trading Places episodes. It was something different. And it was rather enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 Trading Places was awesome. Babes Behind Bars not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 Agreed. And Trading Places won OLTL its first and only Daytime Emmy for Best Show in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
