[Scotty]

Agnes Nixon talks about AMC and OLTL with a reporter from The Chicago Tribune:

Most interesting part:

[KMan101]

I love that over 40 years later she is still so into guiding AMC. She needs to help OLTL get its core back

[BingCherry]

Probably the most interesting part to me is that she came up with the cliffhanger that'll end the network run.

[Jonathan]

I want to know this cliffhanger!

[KMan101]

I'm almost certain it probably involves Erica.

[Khan]

With any luck, it'll be Erica, unconscious, found next to a dead David with the murder weapon in her hand.

[Jonathan]

Very nice interview. It was good to hear her talk some about her past, and her memories of Irna and friendship with Larry David.

I hope she may advise OLTL a little on Viki, if Erika Slezak is a part of PP. I'd like to hear her ideas on the character. They could also ask her a bit about some social issue stories. A web soap would be a good place for that, more than scaredy-cat ABC anyway.

[Vee]

If they ask her to do something with OLTL, I hope she intercedes and asks for a callback to Ed and Carla's family, and the Woleks. She once tried to secure a place for Carla and Sadie on Loving years after she'd left OLTL behind.

Was feeling good about the finale till this. She lost me with a cliffhanger, they don't know who's continuing on, but they want a cliff hanger? Doesn't fill me with confidence for PP

[DRW50]

Agnes Nixon said before PP ever came in that she wanted a cliffhanger.

[dragonflies]

She wanted an OPEN ENDED finale, that's different than a cliff hanger.

A blood bath type of thing is not going to make people want to tune in

[DRW50]

I don't think it has to be a bloodbath.

[quartermainefan]

Cliffhangers are the way to go. You want to leave the audience wanting to see what happens next so much they will make the effort to seek it out online.

[Marley]

I have a suspicion that JR will be responsible for a bloodbath cliffhanger which I'm surprisingly ok with.
