Members Llantano Incorporated Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Me too Carolyn- I was shocked that year when the show did not get a nomination. That fall in my junior year of high school EVERYONE- including guys- were talking about the rape trial. And the show hit #3 for a month, which it had not seen in 4 years.. And I agree with your mention of 1985 as a year OLTL deserved an emmy for Best Show- That 1985-87 period is one of OLTL's finest. Where did you here this RSW/Depaiva emmy boycott rumor?? That is TERRIBLE. And I know Clint Ritchie/Phil Carey/James DePaiva all loathed Gottlieb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Right! Thanks, I was thrilled to see him back. I say it's too much to ask for, but of course I'd love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 How I miss Mary. I do agree of course--I always loved that from the start Agnes had her soaps exist in the same world (and of course to a lesser extent GH too though I've never been a big watcher--but I suppose the first crossover was actually Steve Hardy at OLTL in 1969--and I did like Anna on AMC even if I had no idea at the time about the backstory with her character, though I *hate* the Skye finished off there). Even in that 1970s episode on Agnes' site I find the brief little OLTL character visit, despite having no background with, I think it is, Anna, thrilling.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 While I don't have a ton of love for what Rauch did to the show, I can admit that under Peggy O'Shea it was largely camp, but it was well done camp (the show crumbled IMHO after she left--always wondered why she did, I assumed she retired but I saw she was on the writing team for a soap a few years later briefly). And I did always wonder why OLTL got no best show emmys under Gottlieb--those actors were really so mad they didn't want their own show to get recognized? I know the Bukes and more so Max were featured less under Gottlieb than they had been under Rauch, but I wouldn't say they were ignored or given truly awful material.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Quit tormenting me :crying: I do wish we could get an updated Family Scrapbook for both shows or some other sort of retrospective but I won't hold my breath. Yeah there's a lot in the past decade people would rather not remember, LOL, but it'd be nice to have something covering the complete shows. (As well as some sort of juicy tell all but that I have no hope for... Except maybe if Robin Strasser continues to be upset...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 A lot of the men on the show at the time had problems with Gottlieb. Slezak is the only woman I know of that didn't particularly like her. That said, I've heard that Gottlieb wasn't the easiest person to get along with, and her personality didn't seem to match well with the press at that time at all. I recall her comment about giving Vicki an orgasm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 It was Eileen from OLTL who appeared in that AMC episode. Didn't Jim Craig appear on AMC in the first year or so, too? And I remember reading something about Sadie appearing to sing at someone's wedding or funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 LOL! It is true that I've heard she rubbed many the wrong way in person-although you don't quite hear the nightmare stories of sudden cast firings etc that you did under Rauch and JFP. Yes, I think Jim did some medical consulting--and I remember hearing about Sadie singing too but not where. And of course Dr Marcus Polk too (didn't they also share Dr Claytor for a while or another side character) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 And of course a lot of people seem shocked to learn that Gerald Anthony won an Emmy for playing Marco Dane on GH, not OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 (And I have to say I finally read Nelson's column and while I still think he's an idiot, I think he's surprisingly pretty spot on with the questions for Frons--that we'll never get answers to).

Members SFK Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 LOL, whaaa? "Oh! Oh Sloan! I've awlmost arrived! Join me there! Get ahhfter it! Make it your tahsk! OHHHHHHH!" From Robin's description, Linda sounds like a real-life Dorian Lord from her impeccable duplex to her array of furs. She did go on to work with ABC doing PR or consulting, something like that. Her office was (is?) in the ABC building and she was behind SoapLine during O.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 SOD has a poll asking which couple do you most want to see happy together by the end of AMC. The choices are Jesse and Angie (my choice) Jack and Erica Ryan and Greenlee Tad and Cara Jake and Amanda http://www.soapoperadigest.com/node Ryan and Greenlee are losing....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
