Members MichaelGL Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes this was one of the many random "haha" moments on GL that didn't make sense, and in my eyes it kind of degraded the character in the sense that it only made her worthy of being a comical character and not worthy of being taken seriously anymore.

Members CSF Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 They left. They were working on a soap called Heart and Soul or Union Place or something like that and NBC was interested in it so they left GH at the end of their contract to persue it. NBC dropped it and ended up going with Sunset Beach. They retooled the show as a spin off of Ned and Lois living in Brooklyn for ABC. ABC went with Port Charles instead and so ABC offered them OLTL.

Members DRW50 Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think they saw her as being like Lucy Coe. The whole "oops let's talk about Selena's book that will make the mob want to kill her" was also a little Lucy-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Actually, my impression was that Olivia was supposed to fall for Holly, but that could be colored by what happened between her and Natalia. Wow, I never knew that! Now I'm curious as to what specific plans he had in mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 IIRC, Heart & Soul was pitched as a Ned/Lois spin-off, yes, to occupy the 30-minute Loving/The City slot. Like Ryan's Hope, it would take place in NYC and film on location, albeit in Brooklyn. I think Helen Gallagher was to play one of Lois's relatives. It was all set to go until Wendy Riche did an end run around Labine, pitching the budget-conscious PC which would not require an East Coast shoot. PC was greenlit, H&S was dropped and Labine was forced to finish out her contract, mostly disinterested, at OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sjbeutel Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Proteus storyline was started under Passanante and continued under Richard Culliton. I remember that he dragged the storyline out longer then people would have expected but it did have great reveals during it. If I remember correctly at the time of the story beginning, they had no idea who to make the villian, it ended up being Vanessa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted March 7, 2012 Administrator Share Posted March 7, 2012 She was fired. But she had two years, so I definitely think she was given "enough time". My vote goes to Lorraine Broderick, who was fired after 1 month, and Brash & Cwickly who were demoted/fired after less than a year. And Karen Harris at Port-Charles who was demoted only after a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think so, too. At least, that was the BTS scuttlebutt. (Usually, when actors say, in interviews, "This is so exciting, it could be anyone!," that's a dead giveaway.) And if you like a story where it's clear even the one in charge of it doesn't know the outcome, that's fine. For my money, though, it helps if the HW has some idea in mind how he/she wants it to end. Otherwise, you get something very convoluted and becomes more about plot than character. Agree. Besides, John and Hope's "submarine sex"...I shudder to this day over that hot mess.

Members Vee Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 I remember everyone on USENET being positive Vanessa was Proteus, and it coming as little to no surprise. They picked the obvious choice, but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Me too. This wasn't the "Janet gets surgery yet again and takes over Brooke's life" thing, was it? Or was that earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted March 7, 2012 Administrator Share Posted March 7, 2012 New info! Can you type of the credits (just the producers, director, and writers)? Or is it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sjbeutel Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Was not there a problem between Tom Langan and Lorraine Broderick after she joined Days? If I remember correctly, she wanted to age the younger generation slowly, Shawn, Belle, Phillip, etc but Langan wanted it to happen fast? Lorraine would have been good at Days in my opinion. I also think she was not given enough time to work magic at AMC before the cancellation. They signed her to a long term contract then cancelled the show.

Members R Sinclair Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 That was much earlier, in the mid 1990s under Broderick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
