WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

How would that comment be offensive?

Ok I see how it could be but why would I use it to offend people? Like I said previously, I like to brighten things up with humor! I am amazed people were taking me seriously. Yes, I can be a little flighty and I am working on that.

Son, once upon a time, there was a boy named Sylph...

I knew it! Something told me, as soon as I posted that, someone would mention the song! LOL!

Meanwhile, "Forever Young" is the name of an awesome, awesome GUIDING LIGHT/Phillip and Beth-related website and forum. If you are a GL fan and have never heard of it, you should check it out.

The Huffington Post is reporting that Erika Slezak is on board, and their article has just as much/little confirmation as the other reports.

Oh Dear God.

I guess asking for sanity on SON is too much sometimes, isn't it?

I LOVE that site. Before I watched OLTL, I LOVED watching GL and P&B together again. I always getting to see the Four Musketeers stuff I didn't get to see in the 80s .

Topic?

Ummmm....

Bring this foxy man back:

That is all.

Erika- I just want to wish you and Brian a Happy and Healthy New Year. Can't believe it's a year already.... time seems to be flying.I will retire this year and head to the OLTL retirement state North Carolina.. All the best

Erika Slezak Dear Anthony, thank you so much. And I wish the same for you and your family. and all the best for your retirement. North Carolina is beautiful and I know you will be happy there. Amazing that a year has passed and now they want to bring OLTL back. Hope it works out- it would mean jobs for so many people and entertainment, for millions, Much love, Erika Slezak

That is all.

If he still looked like that he'd probably be employed.

That’s awesome, because we know Slesar was very detailed in crafting his mysteries. I still think Edge of Night would be an excellent reboot. Right down to that early 80’s theme. Geraldine was a great soap grande dame.
Did she play a hooker? For some reason I remember an article bringing that up. I really should read more of that unpublished book.

I still don't know what the point of that was. It seemed like there was a very, very hard push to put Jordan and Chris Beetem over at the time, and then he and the entire storyline just vanished overnight.
I actually thought Jordan/CB was quite good but I wonder what happened there. Later I remember him making a public stink about his stupid role on OLTL, in a poorly-done storyline that unfortunately proved quite prescient for today (the One Pure People white supremacist group).

This started at OLTL and got very noticeable in its last year or two. For a time I thought it was an ingenious approach to their budget situation, but eventually key stories or veterans would have stuff just going on in the margins every 3-5 weeks (like Viki, Charlie, Dorian and David basically doing light bedroom farce that went nowhere one summer) and it wore things down. It got worse at GH when Frank came here, particularly under Carlivati who had trained himself to work with FV's taping rhythm and the stories were very, very choppy. I'd argue it was even worse in 2014-15 than it is now, with us getting vague glimpses of backburner veteran storylines (Lucy/Duke, etc.) that were apparently going on without the audience.
He still does this and it has ebbs and flows, but it's definitely been all over the shop lately. I remember when they spoiled pairing up Martin and Tracy late last year/early this one in the mags (something I dreaded) and of course that's clearly no longer happening.

Have you seen the scene where Sonny and Carly battle it out and then fúck for the first time? There is a reason I was a fan of theirs real quick back in the day. (Online fandom in that era, on USENET etc. was notably repulsed when magazine spoilers about the hatesex came out early, but as soon as I saw their big scene I changed my tune.)
Tamara allegedly did almost replace Laura maybe eight years ago around contract renewal time, but that didn't happen and we got Kim Nero. I think you know that story. I like all 3, but I'd dump anyone for Sarah Brown.

Jonas is back maybe a year later when the traumatized Cord returns. The Buchanans want him to consult on the sly and he proves no help.
I will always remember one of the last times they brought up Joe on the show, when Nash died in '08. He was about to kick off in the OR and everyone knew it, and they knew Jessica was pregnant. My first thought was the same as Viki's, which she said out loud: "He's never going to see that baby." Then she added, barely audible through Erika Slezak's sobs, "just like Joe." That stays with me, not just because of her wonderful work but because we were both thinking of Joe Riley and I was glad the show went there. Soaps can do that for decades.

I do think they need to introduce a solid youth scene. But Tyrell, Jessica and ol' Sammy (who sadly should be recast*) are not enough.
Hopefully they have seen the response to Donnell and will bring him back posthaste. I'd be extremely into a serious romance SL with him and someone, moreso than Ty and Jessica though I do like them.
(*Alternately send Samantha off to college or boarding school, then bring the actress back in a bit and let the age be more indeterminate when you do. Soap fans are very forgiving about that.)

She's been "dead" before, and so has Sheila, Taylor (x2), Macy and Finn.... So, I won't get too excited just yet.
