Hello ATWT Lovers! I have in my possession Marland's long term story note document (38) pages that covers summer and fall 1991. He divided up the plots/characters topics as follows:

Kim/Bob/Larry with Cal/Jeff/Frannie/Darryl/Lyla (6 pages)
Tess/Paul/Linc/Hutch with Claire/Hal/Barb/Gavin/Cal/Mal/Emma/Angel/Caleb/Hannah (6.5 pages)
Caleb/Angel/Court/Holden/Lily/Ellie/Kirk/Lucinda/Connor/Evan with Julie/Lisa/Barclay/Stephen/Jay
(5 pages)

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.

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.

    • That was so surprising to me today. I didn’t see any spoilers that this was coming up so I loved it!
    • Well, VI was leaving, and while Long admits that killing him was stupid...I do agree with letting him go with a big bang...body missing.  They spent a lot of time and money on Infinity, (which I think might have gotten a bit of a better reputation had it not been the harbinger of a total tonal change with the Bauers and Reardon's decimated and its all Reva and the Lewis and the weird people hanging out around Kyle) so they needed it to end dramatically. They could have done so much more with having Alex go after Kyle and Billy, but that ends and she starts moping over weird and boring Simon. With Kurt..what were you going to do.. cute but boring and perfect and with ties to no one (they had a nice little thing where Bea took him under her wing when everyone left but then she did too..) If they had the balls they would have had Rick and Mindy jump in the sack ( I know, Mindy should have learned birth control by then) I would have had it be Mindy who knows about Rick's drug use and she tries to help him...(not that nobody who came and went) of course, Kurt and Roxie misunderstand..that on top of her bad Sampson Girl thing leaves him to leave her temporarily, and in grand soap tradition, Rick and Mindy console each other (again, I would write it that they always really did, and Mindy rushed into things with Kurt) and she gets knocked up, and loving Rick but also Kurt she chooses to believe it is Kurts (which I could see Princess Mindy doing "My life is perfect and I will it that way, this is Kurts kid")But, she had the dumb model thing, then she burned down the house he was building, she tried to get prefers and he dies (but also Kobe was the one who built him up, then she was gone when he was let go.) Ross believe it or not is one of the last of the "old guard" characters, beside Ed (who is now FauxEd) and Maureen, and Henry and Van (who is ties to being the Lewis family mope.) JVD has made jokes that they didn't write him out as they simply forgot that he was there!
    • Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.
    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
