He got "All My Children" tattooed on his nutsack.

With a screenname like mine, what do you think? ;)

Kidding. My favorite soap, but I don't do tattoos. Not even of Max & Gabrielle :lol: .

Ian Buchanan once told the story of meeting two female fans who had tattoos of Duke & Anna on their arms, though, so it DOES happen. wacko.png

On the telly the other night, there was a story about a guy who'd gotten a tattoo in tribute to Home and Away across his chest, so yeah, people do insane stuff like that dry.png .

I don't do tattoos either. Even if I did, I don't think I could bring myself to get one about a soap couple (I did however write out Max and Luna & Lucy and Kevin Forever on the whiteboard with a permanent marker one time in primary school when I was in detention ph34r.png ....My father had to buy the school a new whiteboard).

This is old, and probably has been posted, but a fascinating audio interview with Susan Bedsow Horgan about her time writing at OLTL as Gottlieb was transforming the show, and later EPing it http://brandonsbuzz.com/brandons-buzz-radio-the-archives/may-17-2011-former-one-life-to-live-showrunner-susan-bedsow-horgan/ I didn't realize they went to Agnes Nixon to get appoval for making Victor a pedophile and that she consulted on the story. And we have Jean Passanante to blame for Patrick's Penny Brown Penny nonsense.

Thanks, I've been meaning to listen to this. I think he's interviewed her twice. When is he gonna get that Erika Slezak interview up?? I would love for him to interview Gottlieb.

It's really a pretty fascinating interview. I never thought before that with ratings tumbling, Disney made big changes all within one month on every major soap--Behr was fired from AMC, Labine from GH and Malone from One Life (though she admits that after Josh Griffith left she took over as essentially co-headwriter which she now thinks was a big mistake).

Labine was fired? I was always under the impression that she left of her own accord to work on the Ned/Lois spinoff. What a mistake ABC made there. And then she did not work out nearly as well at One Life.

I'm sure she says in her long interview she did at that website a year or two back--but this interview implied she was. It does seem like Disney/ABC made major WP and/or HW changes all within 4 weeks on all three major soaps, so...

The same site had an interview with Pam Long, mainly about GL but she mentions her 3/4 of a year at GL under JPH. She says she barely remembers it, but admits she didn't think she even decided some of the key stories and while she's very gracious, she says it was that her and JFP creatively had different visions and she felt usually on soaps either you need a stronger EP with the vision and a HW to write it out, or vice versa, but two strong figures doesn't work. With the Labines at OLTL, JFP came in fairly early in their run, and I'm sure that played a big part with them not working out on \OLTL.

I'm not sure that it was ever posted here but there is a 1980 episode up on YouTube with a lot of Karen and Ivan. That was the first time I've seen a good chunk of their story and I see why it was so popular. Seeing more of Katrina, I wish she had stuck around.
