Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 14, 2013 Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 Griffith talked about leaving due to Frons being too controlling, but it was a vague comment and that's all I've heard about the run. What I meant about day to day writing is I never felt like just fast forwarding (OK, some of the Heaven Can Wait stuff) or like it was a huge chore to sit through an episode myself the way I did for huge chunks of Higley's run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 14, 2013 Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 LOL Fair enough. But having Higley come in after sure made me appreciate it more (which is a huge backhanded complement.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 The article on Justin McDonough above mentioned the oldest daughter of Agnes Nixon. I know that Cathy Chicos (former writer of All My Children) is the daughter of Agnes Nixon. Is she the oldest daughter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfave06 Posted August 28, 2013 Members Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks for sharing that! Was a joy to see. Ellen Holly's Carla and Jacqueline Courtney's Pat are probably the two characters I have always wanted to see most of from the 70s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 I found this kinda interesting -- an interview with Gary Tomlin a few months into his run as EP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks for sharing that! And that must have been the last attempt to create story for the Gannons. Especially Hank, but did he ever get much? Very interesting about Tea from the sidebar. However age did come back for a few months after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 Whatever his faults, I'm forever grateful to Gary Tomlin for three things: Troy & Lindsay, Cristian & Natalie, and of course, part 2 of my beloved Max & Gabby. Not to mention that I first became a fan of the show when he was producing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted September 6, 2013 Members Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Gary's show was high camp, mostly dumb - unlike the technique Ron Carlivati perfected years later, which on its best days mixes good, smart storytelling with comedy (and on its bad days does something quite different) - but he did bring back the show's heart after an extended hiatus, and he dearly loved OLTL and worked to respond to just about everything under the sun from fans. He tried to please everyone as well, which was impossible. It was a goof of a show, but it was fun and it gave me as a fan back some sense of pride, especially when a story or character did really work and connect (Natalie, the baby swap, and then Cristian and Natalie). Gary got in hot water with the old school Todd and Téa fanbase the following year when he brought her back, and then publicly commented on the classic fanbase mailbox-stuffing technique. It's common for most fanbases on soaps, really, but I'm not sure any other exec has ever addressed it or singled out a particular fanbase. I don't think they ever forgave him for that. I always thought it was horrible that they'd made a point to write in that Todd did not bother to call the Coast Guard to go get Téa and Ross. I don't know whose idea it was. It was typical callous, cartoonish Todd at that juncture, but it was so unnecessary, particularly after the emotional scenes he'd had regarding her, Blair and Starr before leaving that island. I loved Téa and had missed her since two years prior, but I thought her return in '02 was crap. Specifically after they cut the scenes they'd apparently shot with her and Tim Stickney, addressing the way Téa abandoned R.J. They set that up with R.J. talking about Téa with another character, then the meeting never materialized onscreen. Bullshit.

Members DRW50 Posted September 9, 2013 Members Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) December 1987 clips. Delilah's disappearance (who is that lady cop?), Mari Lyn's car crash, a little of the Clint blindness story. A little of Kate and her grandmother, Elizabeth. Who is the guy with Mari Lyn? The car crash scene (so many car crashes in the Rauch era) is hilarious. Zoom zoom zoom in on her face like a music video from 1983. Great to see more of Lee. I had no idea Mari Lyn ever had any story about being disfigured. Was it dropped? Didn't Lee get killed a few months after this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g617ENSv87o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNe2q7FBDlU Edited September 9, 2013 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
