[DRW50]

Thank you so much for doing all this! I always enjoy these, I used to rush through them but now I try to go through one show at a time, over time.

AMC - who was Michelle?

Were they thinking of doing Charlie/Dixie at this time?

ATWT - I didn't know Bob was impotent. I also didn't know that one of Tonio's flunkies committed suicide. ATWT at this time had such a dark edge.

The scenes where Bob is shot and the aftermath are on Youtube, under Oakdalian and ChuckR7.

[Paul Raven]

GH - this was Gloria Monty's return and revamp which was unsuccessful.

[yr9190]

Thanks for posting all this stuff French Fan!

I always thought that it was interesting that three of Y&R's more intense story-lines were going on at the same time. Cassandra's Death, Nina shooting David, and Sheila switching the babies.

I hope you have more monthly synopsis for 1991 French Fan! This was a great year for many of the soaps.

[kalbir]

Thanks for this look back to 1991 FrenchFan. CBS Daytime on the whole was so awesome that year.

[LoyaltoAMC]

I saw the name "Carol Pulowski" in the summary, and instantly I knew...Gloria Monty's infamous return. I think she had some innovative ideas (certainly better than what Wes Kenney or Joe Hardy presented), but it all just inexplicably imploded. Not sure many people remember this, but prior to her returning to GH, she was supposedly an unbilled "ghost" story consultant at AMC. I think it was during the Maggie DiPriest run, around 89-90. I remember reading about that in SOD at the time.
