As The World Turns Discussion Thread

I actually would want to watch the JAclyn Smith interview and I'd like to see Tamra Tunie. It would be nice if Alan did more research. I still wince at his mistakes when interviewing Sharon Gabet about her Edge of Night days. I wasn't even alive when Edge of Night was on, but I could do a five minute google search to get the necessary information.I would even be okay with asking a "For those unfamiliar with Edge of Night, could you tell us about your character?" type question. There have been some really strong moments (The Ellen Parker/GL one comes to mind) that I'm willing to cut him a little slack. He's minimally better than the podcasters who have prepared questions and NEVER listen to the interviewee.

I'd love to see Tamara Tunie on a reunion livestream but I seriously doubt Alan is up for that level of truth telling or that tea. Don't confuse character with actress, Tamara is not Jessica!

Soap fans sometimes like to put words in people's mouths. I'd actually like to hear from Meg Ryan. She might actually have valid reasons for keeping a distance. Not everyone had the same experience. 

Alan would be out if his depth with most of the people mentioned. Why can't these guys produce the show and get a knowledgeable host like Roger Newcomb?

Alan has had 0 Black actors from ATWT on his live streams and I have questions.

 

Also, Meg Ryan directs and produces a fair amount of television these days so her perspective on the medium may have changed.

I got questions too about him not having any of the black actors/actresses doing his live-streams. Tamara Tunie? Peter Parros? Napiera Groves? The actor who played Isaac? Lauren B Martin? and others who've worked over the years for P&G and other soaps too.

He had 1 actress on one of the GL reunions, I think that was it though, over how many months?  That is why I say that he is simply out of his depth with some actors. It's his show and he's free to do as he chooses but I don't expect much from him and kind of side-eye him at the same time.

I think it was during one of the charity reunions and Amelia Marshall popped up on it. 

 

Edit : Oh that's right he had Yvonna Kopacz Wright, Lawrence Saint Victor, and the others who played the Boudreaux family.

Yeah, I wasn't sure, that's why I specifically said ATWT, not P&G in that initial post because I haven't seen many of the GL ones.

No

Sorry if this one was already posted. I can't remember if this is the one that popped up earlier this year or not.

adlkjagaogh I'd go fangirling over this. I bet he hasn't aged a day.

Paul Taylor is the name of the actor who played Isaac, I think.

Here's a shout out of sorts from Stephen Colbert, in making up titles for the times in which we live:

And P&G is way too stupid and thoughtless to capitalize on mentions like those.

 

All these series like Punky Brewster and Saved By The Bell, Karate Kid/Cobra Kai, The Doctors and Dark Shadows managing to have some presence on television and film, while P&G is still out there devaluing their own titles.

Just. stupid.

[amybrickwallace]

 

Yes, it is.
