It was just jarring mostly because of the episode title, and Fillion's history, and yet, there is Rebecca Budig...again.

Without Fillion's history OLTL wouldn't have even gotten a nod in the title. Too bad some fans were too busy feeling slighted to appreciate it.

I think both CM and RB could do well on nuAMC if they're finally allowed to break up. I never wanted her gone, I just wanted them to break that couple apart.

Don't get me wrong, the title is nice, I just was more focused on more of the same faces being pushed. I would have rather seen them even use a few former OLTL actors who live on the West Coast.

I still laugh when I think of the ending for OLTL someone on here once suggested, with Agnes Nixon coming on screen, closing some dinky little paperback scrapbook with One Life to Live scrawled on the front, and saying "You are ALL my red-headed step children" as she closes the book.

That was me!!!

As she closes the book and tosses it in the fireplace as the sun rises in the her window as faces of legendary OLTL characters appear on the walls and two three porn stars make a baby in her bedroom.

Heartwarming and truly representative of the rich history of the show

I didn't feel slighted, I just thought it was lame. I'm not sure the logistic thing really explains it. If ABC wanted to coordinate an appearence by OLTL stars, I think they could have. I'd sooner believe Frons was pimping his stars as usual, but at this point, does it really matter who the red headed step child is or was? The whole family has been in a tragic car accident with the sole survivor on life support and fading fast.

Word.

But they didn't want to. This wasn't about promoting the soaps, it was about Castle doing something clever. Just like when Fillion dressed up in his Firefly costume, it didn't cost anything. Bottom line People need to accept that there was simply no good reason to have anyone from OLTL on Castle. It wouldn't have been convenient or cost effective. In fact it would've been a bad move on every level..

True but the question seems to be what caused the accident. Was it drunk driving, a murder/suicide or simply the result of wet roads? Because that decides whether or not the insurance company will pay.

Honestly, I just think all of the stars and planets aligned at the right (wrong?) time, and every thing that could possibly go wrong did.

But they didn't want to. This wasn't about promoting the soaps, it was about Castle doing something clever.

But that's my point. Using AMC stars made it a lot less clever. In fact, I'd say it took away the clever factor for the relatively few people who were supposed to know something clever was supposed to be happening. I never thought it was about promoting the soaps. I don't see how it would have been about that even if the people on the show were from OLTL.

I don't think we'll ever really know the cause of the accident, but the fact that ATWT and GL went down first suggests to me that it's not all Frons fault. Could these shows have made it a little longer if he hadn't been the head of daytime? Maybe, but I do think the ultimate cause of daytimes demise is too many choices mixed with changed in society. When I saw the unemployment rate was at 10% and soaps were not gaining any viewers at all, that spoke volumes.

Did AW fans use to complain when Joey on Friends, in New York would act on Days Of Our Lives? (I'm sure they did...)

I love how people blame Brian Frons entirely for the destruction of soaps when this is the third cycle third network this has happened to in the past what 10-15 years. What about everything P&G did in the years even before he became the most hated

NBC - lets see ANother World, SB, Passions

CBS - ATWT, Guiding Light

ABC - Port Charles, OLTL, AMC

And I am probably missing a couple of more.

The main difference for me between those you mention and the ABC lineup is that the ABC lineup was supposed to be stronger, due to synergy. There was none of the headaches you get from P&G against a network or Sony against a network.

Frons ended up using the synergy in the worst way, trying to turn the shows into, basically, the same crap, just with different actors.

Did AW fans use to complain when Joey on Friends, in New York would act on Days Of Our Lives? (I'm sure they did...)

I don't remember hearing any complaints. AW had a lot more to deal with.

If Joey had gone on a show called "Other World," and then met Drake Hogestyn, there may have been more complaints.

Don't forget my much loved The City *cry*

To be fair I think soap fans have never had much faith in NBC, even if they had a brief dominance in the 70s.
