I think it's a writing vs. talent thing with Kerr. I can see how some people view her line delivery as verging on bored sometimes. I just don't think Portia/Brook has ever gotten a story that truly showcased her and her talents. Most of the time she is apologizing for lying or making a mistake. I really don't get how this is Gio's fault or why Lois was there at all lol. Is anyone going to find out Joss knew Danny was there and ignored it entirely? -
I thought Sandra Ferguson was charming and quite good as Amanda. I really liked the Sam/Amanda storyline. I think what harmed the storyline is something I mentioned a few pages back. The pacing of the Sam/Amanda/Evan triangle was quite bad and like most of Swajeski's stories, there was no real end game. Poor Olivia. So much potential and then nothing came of it. -

You're speaking of something that did not even happen here & you are incorrect because there was nothing nonchalant about it. I have very rarely spoken of it but I made a reply about it where it did happen, recently. Yes, it was a terrible awful error. I had been told it had been announced. Not only Drake but my oldest, best friend died that week, she also a pancreatic cancer victim. The instant I learned it hadn't I deleted it & posted a sincere apology. At the time I was so upset. -

Not sure when SS was officially cancelled maybe Dec 73? but I found these articles from Jan 74 The Secret Storm, half -hour daytime drama on CBS -TV, will continue on air uninterrupted, though network has canceled show after 20 years, replacing it with game show, Tattletales (Mon.-Fri., 4-4:30 p.m.). Storm has its last program on CBS -TV Feb. 8, and beginning Feb. 11, series will be carried on more than 140 stations in varying time slots via barter syndication by American Home Products, New York, through John F. Murray Inc., New York. Storm' signals changed. American Home Products Corp., New York, has dropped its plan for barter syndication of The Secret Storm, half -hour daytime drama, ending 20 -year run Feb. 8 on CBS -TV (BROADCASTING, Jan. 21). Spokesman would only say that American Home Products had made decision not to distribute series itself, but added that company, which holds rights to Storm, is now negotiating with several syndicators to place it back on the air. -

I love a smart literary reference in my soap dialogue, but I just laughed at that *picks up book* Martin: "Ralph Ellison--The Invisible Man." Smitty: "I see you"Please register in order to view this content
They also apparently have copies of The Glory and the Dream (which I haven't read) and Paris in the Terror which I did read parts of in high school actually. But I wanted them to show them putting back on the shelf at least a couple of fun, trashy novels. C'mon! (or maybe at least something gay if they're gonna focus on titles--Baldwin's Giovanni's Room?) And yes, it was me who said there should be more singing and I loved the final montage, but I kinda wish they had just had her singing solo instead of the family all gathered around the piano which... I'm sorry, I don't think in one of the niece's shoes I woulda stuck around for at that time. (And wow--locking Eve out? ) YES -

I don't think Sandra Ferguson was fantastic but I thought she did well enough with the story she was given. She had chemistry with RKK and with Charles Grant and made it understandable why Amanda was torn between the two men. RKK leaving hurt the story but beyond that they didn't try hard enough to make Evan a viable character. After he was written out we just got the triangle with Olivia, which also wasn't viable because they wanted us to root for Sam/Amanda long after viewers had stopped caring. -

Well at one point Aaron's contract with ABC guaranteed a new series on the schedule each year. I guess once his contract was up he was out the door. It would have been a huge financial commitment and as tastes changed and Aaron didn't ,ABC couldn't see the value. Spelling did have a number of flops along the way. He always brought up Family as a counter to the criticism that his output was trashy but that's because Family was the only show among many that wasn't trashy. -
Passions also did this with Ethan and Sam...probably some other soaps (Billy and Dylan on GL, maybe). I am blanking through fatigue.

A-la Sonny shooting "Dominic", a.k.a. Dante... just, minus Dante shooting Gio. -
Amanda getting pregnant didn't help character development and long term harmed the Sam and Amanda relationship. If this story came to be in 1984, thoughts on Mary Page Keller playing Amanda instead of Sally and her husband Thomas Ian Griffith playing Sam instead of Catlin. And Jack Wagner as Evan.
