Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Didn't Nelson try to plan an AMC boycott two years back or so? Anyway I agree with you, which I don't want ANY of the other soaps canceled--not only do I have little hope of them lasting long, I also have no real history for them. I don't think every soap fan will just flip on to another soap the way that in the 70s, because of many factors, they prob would. Wha?? And Carlivati is the top writer in the history of OLTL too I'm sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Whose decision was it to stop Storm's appearances? I know that Gottlieb demoted him to recurring, but he continued to appear fairly regularly through the end of the decade. Was it JFP who did away with the character altogether?

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 *Exactly*. It wasn't merely saying what they enjoyed and what they hated--it was basically bullying one show because they thought that was the only way to save the other.

Members Eric83 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes. Can't remember why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Think was during the Pratt era which many disliked--so that's his right but even back then it seemed really more about him being scared OLTL would be canceled to save AMC. Re Michael Storm/Larry--sadly I think he just kinda got forgotten abou the way characters on recurring with few family ties to the canvas often do--but yeah under Gottlieb he was still used a fair amount in hospital scenes as kinda the go to doctor. However while I wouldn't blame JPL I'm sure if anyone did mention bringing back Larry, she would have asked why. Didn't Larry actually make one or two appearances in the early 2000s when Malone/Griffith were back or am I completely imagining that... Did Wanda Webb get an exit? I keep meaning to watch that--I'll have to check it out this weekend. Seems odd she wasn't a big fan of Gottlieb era though since it gave her some great material (although i think the true DID story happened just after she left).

Members Scotty Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 According to Wikipedia..... Wanda finally left town in 1994 when she remarried and moved to Seattle to open a bookstore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolek_family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 He moved to California and stopped recurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Larry appeared in a fairly substantial guest role during Viki's heart transplant story in 2004, as her doctor and friend. That was the last time he was seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wait I saw in the status updates something about Hershey??? I haven't been reading every page of this. But what's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Okay, so what do you guys think about one last crossover? Not a crossover storyline obviously but like a short really good "What If?" Valentine to the fans with say Erica and Viki or Dorian? Erica and Viki bumping into one another having a brief convo and wishing one another well... one of those really warm gifts to the audience-type scenes like when Erica got the 19 bouquets of roses ("19's always been my lucky number. "). With Erica and Dorian maybe a bitchy little exchange at the cosmetics counter or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 I kind of think that would be a nice gesture. I miss the days where both shows were more intertwined. As much as the babyswitch storyline was maligned, by fans of both shows, I really enjoyed that aspect of it. Remember Dorian and Adam and Mary?
