It is the Twitter page for Michael Storm's (ex-Larry Wolek - OLTL) daughter Maggie Storm...

My dad is Michael Storm (Dr. Larry Wolek of #OLTL). My OLTL family has watched me grow from birth to today. Heavy heart for them 2day. 14 Apr

My heart breaks for my ABC family at One Life to Live. I grew up with them loving and watching over me. Thinking of them #oltl 14 Apr

Oh, sure. I was speaking generally. I honestly cannot comment on OLTL during the Kish period because I wasn't watching. Not because of Kish per se, but because of Star, Cole, Langston etc (I find all three insipid and played by highly mediocre actors) and a host of newbies clogging up the screen, including that awful GL girl. I have always been more into AMC anyway as far as Agnes's soaps were concerned because it was easier to get into. OLTL always was more a challenege for me, but I think that actually says something quite positive about OLTL... that it never always seeks to tie up stories with a nice little bow, take the easy way out. The characters are never drawn entirely black-and-white, good-and-bad, and that is to the show's credit. OLTL still pushes the envelope more than other soaps, to a certain extent. I do think Carlivati and Valentini love their show and are not just going through the motions, you know?

My earlier point was more general. It was about contrasting a time (when writers took chances and used their imagination, and were connected to their audience and what was going on in the real world) with today, when hackdom and plotting-by-numbers rule. Dear God, the fear that emanates from these shows today -- fear of offending the big boss, fear of offending certain "stars" -- is also echoed in every interview and press release these people give. It's like this code of silence, an omerta.

I guess I just don't understand boycotting. I am not boycotting and watching what I usually watch on ABC. In my opinion

a boycott has the potential of many more jobs being lost. I just don't get it in that sense that anyone would want any

more jobs lost because there are too many jobs being lost with the cancellations. I still think no matter what is done,

it will not make a difference. AMC and OLTL are done. And, I'm sure GH will be next. I certainly could be wrong,

but the replacement shows are already chosen, contracts done for them, and they are now featured on ABCMedianet. I

have never boycotted anything.

And, I'm watching Regis and Kelly. Kelly is certainly still watching DWTS, in fact, is promoting Michael Gelman to be

on the show. Bruno is co-hosting with her. And, are the people who fill the seats in that audience traitors for

supporting something that is shown on ABC channels? The audience is always full.
