Members Winchester91 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Jen Pepperman seems quite pleased to be part of the show, based on her Twitter account. She could be the best EP for the show since Susie Horgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Let's not go crazy. She seems fine so far but I'm not going to jump up and declare "best since" etc. just yet. That's sheer hyperbole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dale Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 OLTL did it first! When Pat Ashely got her talk show "View On Llanview" in 1979 she had an inst-stalker in Dick Grant, aka Mr. Kim Zimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm glad Jen Pepp is having fun. I wish she takes care of those eyebrows when the shooting cycle is through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 well Gottlieb and Horgan were great as EPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Considering the mess the show was left in by the time 2012 hit...the bar isn't exactly sky-high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 That is a matter of opinion. I agree with you about Horgan, of course. But Gottlieb...? I don't think so. It takes more than updating the sets, costumes, lighting and music to be a great, or even good, EP. A great EP also knows how to work with his/her writers to tell the best possible stories that utilize the show's entire canvas of characters. We all know how I feel Gottlieb and Michael Malone fared on THAT front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 well she did kind of make it like a film, since she came from film.. but I take those two over Valentini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Right, and I felt hers was the wrong approach. If I want to watch a film, guess what? I'll watch a film. But, to her credit, Gottlieb recognized after awhile that you couldn't produce a daily drama the way you could a film. Which is probably why she left in the end.

Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 yeah... I think so too.. but her era and Horgan's era as EP, was an awesome time for OLTL, they don't call it the 90s Renaissance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dale Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'll say this for Gottleib: IMO she took a show that was in a commercial and critical tatters and made vast improvements in story, sets, light, wardrobe, casting and promotion. Not having prior soap experience, that could not have been easy. She did not take over a show in good or even reasonable shape. It was a shell of a show. She helped to bring a reality and stability back to the show that was sorely missing. She stuck around for three years, which was not too much or too little - it was just right. I think she did an overall good job. She handed the show over to Bedsow Horgan and she and Malone made the show bloom like a flower for the next two years.
