Thanks for posting those Carl! I especially enjoyed the Blacklash article. SOD had such good articles back in the day. I don't even bother to buy anymore.

    Thanks for reading. They had a lot of articles in the 70's to the late 90's about this issue. Now I don't know what they'd bother to say, other than scolding readers to stop complaining.

    The backlash over the David/Valerie story hurt so much potential for daytime to change and grow.

    I'd never seen that comic. Thanks for finding it. I guess they were allowed to publish because it had an unhappy ending.

    Also it was the early seventies when they thought everybody had to die in the end like Ali Macgraw's character in Love Story.

    All this over a dead fish. I never understand the idea that soaps need to have bloody brawls.

    Why not? I like fight scenes with men over the catfights with women.

    I don't have any idea what this is. Did Reilly get into early Final Fantasy at this time?

    Was this interesting to watch? I haven't seen it.

    That was at the end of the Melaswen story when they escaped the island. Most people hated the story, I liked some parts of it.

    I don't mind fights with men on soaps, I just don't see a need for all the bludgeoning, especially since it didn't seem to lead to anything in the story.

    Sort of off topic, but a friend of mine has a thread on Facebook about movies that you always watch when they show them on tv and someone mentioned "She's the One." They said that it starred Edward Burns, John Mahoney, and Cameron Diaz but didn't mention Jennifer Aniston. So I IMDB'd it to make sure that she was indeed in it and recalled another movie I usually end up watching when it's on TV, which is "Picture Perfect" with Jay Mohr, Kevin Bacon, and Jenn Aniston. I pulled up that page and was SHOCKED to learn that Arleen Sorkin was one of the screenwriters.

    Did anyone else realize this? If so, do you know of any other movies that Ms. Sorkin was a screenwriter on? I enjoy that movie so much that it makes me curious what other films she's written. I know she did a TV show in the early 90s on HBO called "Dirty Laundry" that I've always wanted to check out, but that's about it.

    I knew she wrote some animation and did a pilot for a tv show but didn't know about co-writing a movie. She is very well loved for voicing the Batman animation character Harley Quinn. She actually inspired the beloved cartoon character that writer, producer, and director Paul Dini created. Here's a clip of him talking about the DOOL scene that inspired him to create Harley:

    Anne-Marie Martin (Gwen Davies) co-wrote the movie Twister with her then husband Michael Crichton.

    The writer of Shrek 2 was inspiried by a Bo and Hope scene too. And pays homage to them in the film according to interview in SFX.

    I never knew Harley was based on Calliope. I wonder what Arleen thinks of the character being made into a huge whore.
