I forgot Wisner was still on the writing team in '91. So many of the characters featured here were out just a few months later--like Charlie, Joey, Emily Ann (is she still in an insane asylum?)

Yes, Wisner left during the late 80's and handed the reigns over to Broderick, but came back with Agnes around the 20th anniversary. He admitted he left because of not getting along with McTavish.

I think that is one of the main problems with McTavish - she may tell a great story once, but her replications usually don't work. The original Wildwind saga (great), which started with Angelique, I think had a lot of MM in it... but then shortly afterward, she had no real story for Edmund/Maria, and the addition of Kelsey into the baby saga felt like a poor man's version of Brooke/Adam/Dixie, and Covina felt like a complete crap version of Edmund's struggle to prove he was a Marick.

I think she had a fair amount of story for Edmund/Maria, but it was dark, dark, dark (self-abortions in the bathtub...love in the afternoon indeed). Everything after Del, the Senate race, and the infertility was Broderick.

Kelsey story was Lorraine Broderick.

Yep.

self-abortions in the bathtub

What?

A teenage Maria got pregnant with Del's baby. He left, and she rode a horse very roughly to induce a miscarriage, then aborted her baby in the tub and buried in in the garden. I think? I don't know. She was then unable to conceive.

That's always the darker side of McTavish. I wish someone had sat down with her long ago and begged her not to write baby death/infertility stories. They were her worst. It sucks because I liked some of her other work.

Haha, did you guys get this right?

I didn't know that!

Yeah, Ri-Ri performed at Kendall's Confusion, I think. At the time, I was almost certain that she would sing her song "SOS" at mateo's S.O.S. club but I don't think that's how it turned out.

Were ConFusion and SOS on at the same time?

No. Not that I know of. Rihanna sang at the opening of ConFusion which was in 2006.

Yeah, I was half-watching at that time and S.O.S. would have been perfect but the timing was off.

I always felt that Brooke/Edmund were going to have the infertility storyline (which made sense given Brooke's history topped with the ectopic pregnancy), but when they finally decided to go with Maria/Edmund, they just made it that Maria couldn't conceive, and came up with the Del/self-abortion lame backstory.

Lorraine was gone by 1992, and she wasn't back until 1995, so anything involving Maria/Edmund until summer of 1995 was Megan.

1994-summer 1995 was the marriage, Del, the self-abortion reveal, the Senate race, Edmund's "death," and the infertility. Supposedly McTavish's stuff stopped in spring 1995, not sure though.

I do wonder about that possibly being for Brooke, although the last thing Brooke needed was another baby story.

lmao, Wendy said Rihanna was on the show back in 2000. Back in 2000, she was only 12 years old and ConFusion didnt exist

LOL...I was on Tumblr and ran across this post

You might be correct about Megan's material tapering off in the Spring of 1995 - I believe that the Brooke/Adam redux of 1995 was a sticking point for MM, she wanted to keep them at each other's throats - Wisner Washam I think initially stepped in and started their romance prior to LB officially coming back to the show.

Does anyone know were I can find the script for the first episode of ABC's All My Children from 1970?
