Interesting part of article:

There are ways to move things around to keep General Hospital, but insiders caution there’s no deal yet for Couric since CBS still has several weeks to match the offer. “Everybody still believes that ABC is the real underdog in any negotiation,” says an ABC insider.

Seriously, who would say no? I think though that she has to look at ABC's track record in syndication and CBS Television Distribution's - because if she does that there is absolutely no way she can choose ABC over CBS. It would make absolutely no sense.

I still think Katie Couric could be successful with a daytime talk show in syndication (on the right network) and cater to a younger crowd too. She's already seen as the "cool" journalist because of those interviews she did with Lil Wayne and Drake.

Say Katie does sign a deal with ABC, that doesn't mean she has to *necessarily* take GH's slot... at least not right away, right? Could she be under ABC's banner a la Regis and Kelly and still be syndicated on ABC stations across the country, like, at Oprah's old slot of 4pm Eastern in several markets?

Poor Frankie. He never would have had to owe Ricky that "thou" for the wedding if he hadn't have lost his job with the ad agency. :-(

Say, remember when Randi's mother would beat the hell out of her w/ a hot iron, and Angie demanded that David "Do somethin', Negro!"? Now that was some AMGT!

(Seriously, it's scary how many AMC/GT connections we're making all of a sudden.)

La Lucci is on Entertainment Tonight. It sounds like it's going to be a long sitdown interview. It airs in two parts.

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
