Soon after RFK’s assassination, Bell wrote a letter that was published in Variety discussing the way Hollywood portrayed violence in tv and films.

Robert Scott Wilson posted this to his Instagram today.  I guess some CIN Stan’s have been harassing him about his girlfriend, lol.

Watching the 66 episodes has ne wondering about Floy Dean/Laura.

I guess it was Bill Bell who was unhappy with her portrayal?

Ted Corday had hired her on Morningstar and moved her to Days so obviously happy with her.

But Bill must have thought that long term with the story he had in mind, she was not suitable.

They lucked out with Susan Flannery.

Floy Dean was on Days, Morningstar and Young Marrieds over the course of a few years and hardly worked after that.

Because it's an awful idea?  Lol.  IIRC the show teased it, but I don't think there were any serious plans to pair them.  I assume if the fan response was good they might have went with Bo/Jen and John/Hope/Gina for a little while, but I remember most fans hated it.  Someone else may have a better answer,  but I think the media made more of it than what actually showed up on screen between them. 

I personally think it would have been a disaster considering the show was knee deep in the John/Gina/Hope nonsense with Zach just being born.

Happy "30th" Birthday, Brady

Idk either lol. I can't even remember any of their scenes together at any time on the show. It sounds similar to when they teased Doug and Maggie back in the late 70s. I don't know if I would have been a fan of either pairing, but they both sound interesting.

Yabbut the show would've known they were going to do that cover. That wouldn't have been the media on their own being provocative! It would have had to come from the show. I can't explain why they would have pitched such a cover to SOD! Covers were valuable to them. They would not have wasted one. It is a puzzlement.

Looking at recaps of the era "Bo and Jen hooking up" is literally referring to them bumping into each other in Ireland and teaming up to beat some random bad guy at the time.  That was SOD's misleading wording most likely.  I don't think any cover with PR and MR is wasted because they were popular at the time.  It's just a tagline to sell the magazine.  SOD used to do that all the time.  Bo/Jen were tested for a bit, but that cover doesn't accurately fit what was happening on the show in October 2000.  It wasn't even the lead story.  Brady running around like Gay Zorro and Belle almost getting run over by a train was the A story. 

Long story short, I don't think Days had much to do with it.  They probably just agreed to a cover about Missy/Jen's return since Bo is the first 'real' Days character she interacts with besides Abby.

    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
