Like, that's something you should already know being the head writer.

[Sylph]

Which says it all.

[bellcurve]

And I'm not completely convinced that he doesn't troll the boards. It seems right up his alley.

[marceline]

I hope they took their Dramamine because that's a lot of spinning.

Somehow, someway. We don't know how, oh no. It just somehow crystallized out of the atmosphere.

[Sylph]

But he does. If not by now, he will be subscribed to this thread. You can bet.

[marceline]

No doubt. He's gonna be up in this thread like a gynecologist.

*waves to Ron*

[DeeeDee]

Farah is SO jealous right now

[Sylph]

Gotta love trolls.

It's one of the reasons the show's a dreck. Instead of writing [!@#$%^&*], he patrols the soapdom.

[Southofnowhere]

Those 2 and 3 year deal mean NOTHING! Other than ABC not wanting peeps to give up on the show.

All through i do think the worm has turned(Frons being the worm)and AMC is now the soap in danger.

FV at least knows how to cut costs , JHC hasn't got a CLUE. At this point OLTL is paying for it's self and GH's overruns.

[MichaelGL]

Out of the entire interview I found myself agreeing mostly with this. Perhaps he should pass it on to his colleague Bob Guza.

Ron, I hope none of the Fords are apart of OLTL's future.

[marceline]

And we're off...

[All My Shadows]

Hence why there was no Fath backlash. "Grrrrl, shoot, I tol' u not ta mess wit dem hoes. I kno' ha' they be."

But yeah, that's all BS.

In a way, I disagree, if only because sometimes it works better if you haven't decided for sure. I firmly believe, if not have read in print, that Donna Swajeski was still going back & forth on whether to make Vicky's baby Stephen Jamie's or Jake's & they decided it would be Jamie's at the 11th hour. It was clear from all the buildup with Jake & Marley threatening to take custody from Vicky and the Vicky/Marley rivalry that ensued from that, that they were leaning towards Jake for a while there and why not? There was TONS more story that could have been bled from that had it gone that way. But they ended up making Steven Jamie's, making their viewers happy, but still got a lot of mileage going that route, more than they probably even realized they would.

[juniorz1]

Oh wow!! I just realized that hack JHC is STILL the EP of AMC. If there's any EP in all of daytime that's needed to be gone in the past 7 years, (ding ding!) she's the one.

It's always boggled my mind that ALL of the sh!t that AMC has put out since she's been there has been solely blamed on their headwriter (McTrash, B&E, and Pratt to name some). Yet the show has been total crap for the better part of the decade & she's been the one constant exec behind the scenes there.

Coincidence? I think not!
