Members Darn Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 That was lovely! These two episodes have been just fantastic. The only real tea was Cady saying the writer who killed her off with poisoned pancakes was punishing her (which everyone guessed), who was that? I can't recall. Pratt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think it was Megan McTavish? But, don't quote me on that, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 It was McTavish, who was actually also responsible for bringing Cady back as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 You're right, I just checked. Dixie died in January 2007, McTavish was the headwriter until April of that year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 Did they ever solve the mystery of who really "murdered" Dixie? IIRC, Alexander Cambias, aka The Satin Slayer, insisted that killing someone with poisoned pancakes was too ghetto for him. Was he just misdirecting the police, or did they prove someone else "offed" Dixie and made it look like the SS's doing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 What better show to give the superstar treatment of reunions than my Golden Soap Opera. Loved both episodes, with Episode two just a bit higher for me. I wish the entire teeN set of 82/83 was apart of this group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 It was most certainly Megan McTavish because at the time, Cady did an interview where she consistently referred to her simply as "The Writer" and refused to even speak her name Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 I was a little disappointed that Darnell wasn't about the Jessie/Angie phenomenon so we could at least get a Debi mention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm sure there were a lot of Q&As that were edited down for time. It would be great to see the unedited interviews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimmetoo Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 Agreed wish Darnell would have been asked about Jesse and Angie. And Jill should have been asked about James Mitchell. I'd rate Ep 1 higher -- the smaller group allows for more time for each to speak. Today MEK and Darnell weren't given enough time...they were the show's leads for decades, and could have carried their own episode just the two of them. Especially Darnell who we rarely hear from. MEK has done several interviews in the last year -- he's a chatterbox one-on-one. Today, he gallantly deferred to his female counterparts -- and Jennifer, Cady and Jill were amazing. But I do wish the guys had been given more time to contribute. But overall, these AMC reunions are excellent ! Very well done and although he's too young to remember AMC in its 80s heyday, Gerry Hall is doing well as hose / interviewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Yep, when McTavish's final run at AMC really became awful. It barely even seemed like she or any other HW was in charge. Not because the writing was bad-and it was--but McTavish has had bad writing eras before, but it just really felt like suddenly no one knew what they were doing (Pratt's final months being similar).

Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 LOved the story about director Kaplan's notes (he was a regular at AMC from 1977-97) Interesting when they started talking about AMC being the best soap--something of course some actors, for a myriad reasons, seemed more keen to say than others (reasons like maybe they were on another soap for a long time, maybe their character didn't have the best writing, etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted May 28, 2020 Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 Why was James Kiberd so hated on AMC... Did Kate Collins leave because of him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
