Not friends of JFP

LONG gone from OLTL (about to leave GH), but from what I understand, there was something about how JFP was doing all she could to make Max less and less likable, and given JDP's general outspokeness, I'm sure it wasn't a fun combination (he didn't particularly like Linda Gottlieb, either--he preferred Paul Rauch, who hired him).

As for him not coming back at the end of the series (even though his wife was still there and three of his other leading ladies made appearances themselves--four if you count AE as Tina), it's entirely possible that his reputation at ABC Daytime was such that it transcended from JFP up to the end of the show (Frons apparently was the one who wanted him gone in 2003).

Basically Bev was able to leave GL while JFP was on vacation--and JFP couldn't do anything about it, because it was in her contract to give--I think-- eight weeks notice before she left, and it fell around the time that Bev would be going on her own vacation.

Someone else might be able to explain it better, though.

    • Schenkel was a disaster despite being a nice guy. The show was doing fine I thought (and watched live) under Culliton/Tomlin but Schenkel dismantled the writing team and proceeded to oversee a merry go round for several months until they brought in Sam Hall to collaborate with Spencer.  Here's the writer changes from the AW homepage (fairly accurate too although Tomlin remained on the head writing team at least through mid February if not a little longer) Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin, July 1984 - January 1985 (In 1984, with Linda Elstad, Joe LeSueur, Lloyd Gold, Gary Tomlin, David Cherrill, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Judith Donato, Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Judith Pinsker, Cynthia Saltzman, and Warren Hite) (In 1985, with David Cherill, Carolyn Demoney Culliton, Judith Donato, Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Judith Pinsker, and Stephen Wardwell) Gary Tomlin, January 1985 (With Samuel D. Ratcliffe and Gillian Spencer; Richard Culliton, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Judith Donato, David Cherill, Judith Pinsker, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Lloyd Gold, Cynthia Saltzman, and Elizabeth Levin) No headwriter, February 1985 - July 1985 (With Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Gillian Spencer, Caroline Franz, David Cherrill, Judith Donato, Richard Culliton, Fran Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, James W. Kearns, Elizabeth Tooker, Peter Brash, and Ted Kubiak) Sam Hall and Gillian Spencer, August 1985 - March 1986 (In 1985 with Jan Hartman, Elizabeth Tooker, Peter Brash, David Cherill, Richard Culliton, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Todd Kessler, and Eric Rubinton) (In 1986 with Peter Brash, David Cherrill, Barbara A. Morgenroth, Fran Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Todd Kessler, Elizabeth Wallace, Donna Pode, John Boni, Penelope Koechl, Elizabeth Tooker, and Richard Culliton)
    • Finally got to the Thorne switchover in 1989. OG Thorne's drunk acting in his last episode was pretty awful. For a second I wondered if the performance was so bad Bill Bell felt he had no choice but to recast ASAP....until I remembered he was fine with letting Terri Ann Lynn vacantly shriek her lines for 2 1/2 years with no problem. Crazy that if SON was around in 1989 there might be a debate if Ron Moss was the 2nd best Forrester actor, rather than being the worst actor in daytime. Lauren Koslow finally had some decent material in August/September. Seeing Margo briefly interact with Stephanie & Caroline made the actress come alive. It seemed when the show started, she was there to mix it up with the power players, instead of being stuck on the B team with Kristin, Clarke & Mick (was the casting notice for this part a Kale Brown-type doing a Christopher Walken impression?). Anyway, the way Bill Bell wrote for her makes one appreciate James E. Reilly. Bobbie Eakes was a very pleasant surprise. I haven't had too much exposure to the character before. She was confident and watchable from day 1. I guess Rocco and Nick fell in love and left LA together offscreen.

      I was praying this pool set would retire... but nope. We're stuck with it for another agonising summer. LordT help us.
    • I wonder if Anita stole the spotlight at Barbara’s funeral in the same way Ms. Ross did when she arrived to Florence Ballard’s funeral in this over the top ensemble with cameras focused on her.

    • Justice for Tracy, Sharon and Barbara! Anita is the real villian and she shouldnt be painted as the victim. The Articulettes was the dream of Barbara who founded them only for Anita to steal the group and throw them away when she was done using them for her come up.One of the worse things you can do to a person is ruin their reputation and Anita was complicit in having Tracy and Sharon basically trashed and blackballed, thus ruining any chance they had of bouncing back   I wondr if the public think Barbara's death was an accident but the sad reality is, she is likely forgotten as an unknown footnote in the Articulettes origin story.   Anita didnt do anything that would warrant jail time but she should suffer. I hope this story is really a redemption one for Sharon and Tracy whom have their names cleared and they are able to be celebrated and have their accomplishments to music history recognized on a grand stage. Right now, this has all been about elevating Anita's own self and reliving her on glory. She needs to take a back seat and do right by those women and honor Barbara's legacy. She's a part of black history and Anita erased her

    • -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

    • Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is). 
    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy
