At some point, maybe midway through or after clearing '92 (since 1991-92 are my major zones of interest where I wasn't watching Malone I as a kid) I may explore this further by digging into Malone's cursed Another World run. I am admittedly a AW neophyte - I watched some of the final year live, I've seen a bit of Malone's run and have watched the share of available Lemay episodes in the '70s and '80s - but I'd like to compare and contrast to Malone's other work and themes. I know a lot of his Bourbon Street bible apparently carried over, but other elements that may have been in that show's plans seem like they date back to OLTL as well: Cindy Harrison the jewel thief or whatever, obsessed with ancient treasure, is right out of the Alex Olanov character model and story from OLTL '92. (And "the Fall of the House of Cory" was a good idea on paper but as I've noted before and I know @DRW50 has commented on, it didn't seem to actually make sense for any of the characters involved.) Malone also returned to characters vying for treasure and cursed jewels in disastrous fashion on OLTL in 2003, when Dorian, Blair, David and Mitch all went after Victor Lord's all-powerful "Bahdra diamond". Oy.
Anyway, if people have any interest in that exploration given my relative lack of experience with AW, I'll consider it down the road.
