Locher is a nice facilitator and all, but he seems to have predominantly worked on the show and/or for P&G in their dog days and his handling of these things seems very hamstrung by that happy talk express. I appreciate his bringing these things together but I too have tired of how he tries to handle these sessions like they're still required to be kind about the hacks who ran these shows into the ground just because he worked for/with them.

Both your and the post a month ago had given me the impression there was more explicit knowledge that she would have harsh things to say. I mean, the way they treated her was BS but so was other veterans and it wasn't speculated other veterans would "spill T".

So I thought I had missed some fiery interview or something and I was interested. If it is just speculation based on the fact they didn't treat her very well, then: indeed they didn't but I hope we get to hear in an interview, spilling T or just sharing her experience like many of the other actors have, including some that were mistreated by TPTB over the years.
She is a wonderful actress.

Sorry if you misunderstood my post, as I never meant to give the impression that Tune would 'spill tea'-- that's not even my impression of her. From what I remember of previous interviews that she has done for other media outlets, she doesn't strike me as the type of person who would willingly go on a platform to have to censor her thoughts mince words just to make the host feel comfortable. I believe that is what I posted.  Also, I was not the person who posted that Tune said no, just to be clear.

 

It's not just about Tune , btw. I have yet to see any Black actors who appeared on ATWT on any of Alan's livestream reunions and I am wondering why that is. It seems odd to me.

Why not the 1st episode of ATWT?  

 

@DramatistDreamer, I am curious about why no AA cast mates from ATWT yet as well.  Though if TT is honest and doesn't want to be censored..I could see why she would opt to decline.

 

Alan seems to freak out if one of the stars speaks up about scandal..his face during Susan Pratt's rants were priceless...and he freaked when Denise Pence mentioned the Zaslow firing.  So I'm sure if TT is honest..he might not like what she has to say.

The episode with Susan Pratt was great. I get the impression that he doesn't know as much about GL so he is less likely to preemptively censor or steer the reunions away from controversial topics or what he perceived as controversial.  He can rest assured, TT is busy directing these days.

As for the staged reading, I agree-- why the last episode? A month late too. A Thanksgiving episode would have at least been more interesting.

How many characters actually appeared in the final episode? It seemed like such a small number. The last episode?

Wow, what a difference when the storyline, acting and video/audio quality are all top-notch! 

That YouTube channel usually has some grainy grainy episodes (I still appreciated then since most were posted nowhere else), so I admit my surprise at seeing episodes posted in such pristine audio and video quality.

It takes my breath away to see all the future Emmy, Oscar and Tony awards winning actors in just one storyline alone. ATWT had such an incredibly strong roster of talent during that time.

 

It just seemed to fit, lol.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
