I'm with LeClerc; I wouldn't be shocked if that nut pitched this and Jesse's baby switch. Both stories are just so jarring and out of proverbial left field, given what's been going on with the stories.

ROFL. I like it.

The nut got good err better demos for the show. It's got people talking already, both stories.

Both stories sound like Megan McTavish ideas.

Megan: I won't return but I'll give you full-proof story ideas. In return you'll give me $66,666.66 for each idea. [ETA Payment correction]

Didn't Frons basically allude to the fact that when Megan had "cooled off" or whatever that he would consider bringing her back?

Hopefully whatever Caleb David does is quick and relatively painless. The last thing I want to watch is something horrible being to Erica while Erica 2 lives it up in Pine Valley.

I need more info for me to give this storyline a chance. I'm all for it if caleb is the culprit. I won't buy it if its david and liza, they don't hate erica that much. Silver Kane would be great because she was jealous of erica to a very extreme level. Janet is crazy but as long as erica steers clear of amanda she wouldn't do this to her. Barbara wouldn't do this to binks. So if Silver or Caleb are behind this I'm all for the storyline.

Here's a thought: what if the real prize for Caleb is not Erica, but rather, her half of Cortlandt Electronics? If that's so, then have Caleb's feelings for Erica been genuine, or has he been stringing her along (for lack of a better word) this whole time?

True, but now, she's stepping up her and Jack's wedding plans, so perhaps that means something to Caleb? I'm not defending this story, mind you. I'm just trying to figure out Caleb's possible motives in executing this cockamamie plot.

He didn't hate her when he crashed her plane. If it's him, and it will be since all things I love about AMC are ripped from me...it'll just be a scheme of his that blows up in his face. The old, "I never meant to keep you tied up and miserable, while your twin lived it up in Pine Valley" bullshit he gave about the plane crash. And of course, Liza like Greenlee won't be turned on by his "I did it for you" mantra, and he'll be all alone twirling his mustache again.

Yeah, I'm being a cynical bitch today.

Vanessa would be BRILLIANT and EPIC. OMG. That might the ONLY way I could by this. This I would want. Yes. Which is why it won't happen and it'll be some unknown.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?
    • Randall Edwards (and Brian Tarantina), with the opening night cast of 1985's Biloxi Blues, plus director Gene Saks and playwright Neil Simon.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.
