Michael B. Tretow, among other things sound engineer for ABBA, and responsible for the distinct ABBA sound, has died aged 80. https://swedenherald.com/article/abba-sound-engineer-michael-b-tretow-dies-at-80 -
This sort of error is not uncommon now because writers don't put much thought into matching language and lingo with time periods. -
I think in the long run, Shelle is endgame. The current writers are just playing it slow and natural at the moment and I love it, it’s classic soap opera storytelling. I hope Cwikly and Ford are given time to write these two apart as well gradually working their way back to each other. The potential is endless with EJ and Jada thrown in the mix. -
The show hit #3 today. The episode was eh. I loathe Leo. He needs to go! -
IIRC Storm was a nickname given to Stephen Logan Jr. as he had a stormy temper. Much like William Foster Jr. was given the nickname Snapper for snapping at everyone. I remember an interview with either Bill Bell or Bradley where it was mentioned Bill Bell got the name Ridge from a college classmate of Bradley's. Bradley even said that his classmate tells everyone "I'm the real Ridge". I don't where Bill Bell got Thorne from. -
I'm left wondering if Lynda Hirsch how much access from her office in the Midwest? I assume people called her to leak information all the time. And she had press releases, interviews, and screener tapes. But her insight into the character of John Conboy made me question if she was an insider or just a yenta? -

The interview also makes me appreciate more how clever it was for Bill Bell to use names like Storm or Thorne. That was a quick talking point for Hirsch with the show. And while I always made fun of it, looking back that's also something that made people I knew who rarely watched soaps always remember B&B. -
There was also nepo babies Ethan Wayne and Carrie Mitchum.

I had forgotten he was on Kotter until the interview (I did watch that show to the end in reruns but the only replacement I remembered was Della Reese). I should watch that spinoff pilot sometime. Maybe he decided acting wasn't for him anyway as his last credit is two years later.

I don't have to tell you, that he was their “big get” when it came to casting. He replaced John Travolta on Welcome Back Kotter and starred in the backdoor pilot for a guy spinoff of Charlie's Angels with Barbara Stanwyck. He was certainly more famous than the lead singer of one-hit-wonder Player. In the beginning, I always confused Dave and Thorn, as well as Ridge and Rocco, due to their similar hairstyles. Side note: You know The Colby's was bad if Barbara Stanwyck thought the writing was worse than the guy Charlie's Angels script -- Toni's Boys .
