Members DRW50 Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 Phil did a great job, but I can't help resenting a longtime key character being trashed to create sympathy for a new face. I guess they were also using this to break up Asa/Renee, but there were more subtle ways. To me OLTL is still pretty strong - other than the violence against women - until 1990. Some of what I've seen is OK but other stuff, like Michael Grande drugging Brenda, is terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I wish they hadn't aged Duke only to have him killed off. It made LeeAnn look like a terrible mother when she didn't show up at his funeral when she was anything but Edited April 24, 2011 by OLTL #1 fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 I never understood why they had to bring Duke back in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 Normally I'd agree, but I loved Matthew Metzger and hated how he was treated compared to Rex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 Phil Carey may not have won any acting awards and people laugh at him and his cue cards, but he more than holds his own, and overpowers most scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 This makes me laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSWQb9I0xk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gZ1EP_LWBs&feature=related Is that all she did, is go to funeral trolling for applause? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) From NY Times May 1970 Odyssey Addicts to Assist TV Program on Narcotics by Fred FerrettiA daytime serial on the American Broadcasting Company will become the first regularly scheduled program to heed a White House request, made last month, to use commercial entertainment to carry a warning on narcotics use to viewers. "One Life To Live," broadcast over ABC's network daily at 2:30 PM eastern time, will begin taping actual group therapy sessions of teen-age addicts at Odyssey House in New York. These will be edited and integrated into the regular programs, about mid- June. .... Initially, an actress will sit in on the sessions, then will take part in them," Dr. Judianne Densen-Gerber said: "Our residents know she is an actress. There are no games, no tricks. For them it will be another way of facing reality, knowing they'll be on television." The idea of using real addicts in a television program belongs to Mrs. Agnes Nixon, creater of "One Life To Live" and other daytime serials. She said in Philadelphia yesterday that "it was a natural outgrowth of our program." A character named Cathy Craig, she said, is a girl "whose father is a doctor, and the girl has experimented with pills. Last January, she stole her father's prescription blanks to get speed. She has a bad trip and her father persuades her to go to Odyssey House." ... Edited April 24, 2011 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 24, 2011 Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for that article, Paul Raven. And ABC considered these episodes unfit to archive. It really bugs me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Leave Marcie alone!! We all know KB was ready as hell to seize every opportunity OLTL gave her to sing. I wonder if they'll play that recording of We Wish You a Merry Christmas this year where all you hear is KATHYYYYYY BRIERRRRRRR (and teens). Where was Marcie when Nash died? They had Sarah write/sing some bland ass song that incorporated "one life" in its lyrics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
