Members DRW50 Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Absolutely. She had her flaws, but she had a very tough road, both for her gender and for the battle she fought against the corporate suffocation and censorship that ultimately consumed and killed the genre. I agree that no one who was at the show in its later years should be writing scripts (maybe Richard and Carolyn Culliton...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Irna wouldn't tell the suits what she really wanted to do..and would gradually introduce those things in her scripts. By the time, the suits figured it out..fans were already hooked so the suits would leave her alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Also, perhaps Meredith Post? Susan Bedsow-Horgan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Richard was actually doing a decent job as temp HW after Marland passing. Unfortunately, he was replaced with hack writers. I so wanted her to return after Marland passing as HW. She would've been my first choice followed by Millie Taggert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 SBH would've been a great choice--she was on the writing staff before and during Marland's tenure so she would've known just about all of the characters that were on that canvas after Marland's passing. I sense that the bean-counting executives at P&G were not going to hand over the HW reigns to a woman, not until the bitter end, which is what essentially ended up happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 I know Jennifer Crutchfield from Retro TV has had some contact with SBH re: her husband Patrick having been on TD. When Jennifer was trying to get cast members together from that show for the Retro TV specials, Patrick Horgan was one of the people on her list. Keep in mind this was pre-pandemic. Susan told Jennifer that Patrick wasn't up to it - partly because he is 91 and partly because he still has unhappy memories of how he was treated and then fired by Joe Stuart. But since Jennifer and Retro TV have been working in tandem with The Locher Room putting the chats with TD cast members together, hopefully she will ask Susan if she would take part in any future writer/producer chats. She worked in both capacities for ATWT and OLTL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 ATWT, I read, had already had a writer's livestream and it didn't include her. The writers that were included, I had no interest in hearing from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 The problem with the Doctors reunions is the fact the panelists all didn't work together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 I've noticed they are the least watched reunions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yes. As great as it is to see everyone, it would be better to do chats with people from different eras of the show who were on at the same time. There would be a more cohesive flow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 31, 2020 Members Share Posted October 31, 2020 I know Trent Dawson isn't too popular here, but this is a little promo he did for Dutch fans recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 31, 2020 Members Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've never had a problem with Trent...his character, 'Henry (Fool)' on the other hand... an indie film reference, couldn't help myself. Shout out to Parker Posey on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
