@VelekaCarruthers That is amazing! Thank you for your generosity.

Can't wait to dig in.

You're welcome! I had really lost interest in Marland's 1991 ATWT and didn't follow it much.  I know when I did I found the Carolyn plot convoluted and uninspiring, partly because I didn't like replacement Franny.  I'm curious how the actual story (and others mentioned in the document) actually played out and/or were changed on air.  I love the way Marland addresses the execs to tell them why a character or plot will work.

wow! thanks for this.

love reading long terms. it’s the only place you can get a sense of the headwriter had in mind. you really can’t tell too much about the overall story from a single script of breakdown.

Very interesting,  thank you! I liked Ed Fry a lot as Adam on Another World and despite the timeslot conflict checked him out as Larry from time to time. I can't tell how much of the story outline actually played out as written. What became of the surrogate baby? 

I liked the story with Larry and Susan and was disappointed later when Larry was portrayed as not a very good father without any nuance beyond the need to cause difficulty in Alison's life.

Thanks. That's lovely. Back in the day I always enjoyed watching them but never would have known they were such good friends.

Wow, this is a cool document to read, even if 1991's ATWT did not end up being Marland's best work (the Carolyn Crawford business was tedious, IMHO, and in my mind, Julianne Moore was the real/only Frannie.)

It's a recent pic. They were both vacationing in Florida.
