Soap Report Jon Michael Reed April 29 1979
NEW YORK - CBS's "Love of Life" has undergone many creative changes since last fall when new producer Cathy Abbi spruced up the visual look of the show with dynamic stunning sets and costumes. But a beautiful environment does got a good soap opera make. The story, under headwriter Jean Holloway, has gone to the dogs. The prime focus centers on a ridiculous story about locating Bambi Brewster's parents. At first, since the girl was in critical condition, the search seemed logical. Now that she has recovered and not expressed the least bit of interest in her boss Ray Slater's locating her family, motivation and reason has flown out the "'Love of Life story window.
AND, HAS ANYONE out there in videoland been able to make sense out of the horde of various characters bearing the Brewster name that Ray contacted in Des Moines, where half the.town of Rosehill has journeyed to join Ray in the dismal hunt? The story's core characters have been left in limbo, meanwhile, with absolutely nothing.' Love of Life's" doldrums may be reversed, however, when yet anothér new headwriter Ann Marcus takes over the writing helm. . Marcus was in charge of Days of Our Lives story till last fall. Prior to that she had co-created "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, even earlier had scripted 'Search for Tomorrow." Her expertise hopefully will bring "'Loveof Life" out of the pits.
