Articles on Don Wallace (Ex-Writer/Producer/Director, OLTL & EON)

Apparently, he wrote THE scene in daytime history -- the one where Karen Wolek confessed to the whole damn world how she got her back into her living.

Interesting! I believe he was on the very first, small, OLTL writing team with Agnes.

How cool!

He's still alive, I wonder what other past writers from the 50s-70s are still around?

[EricMontreal22]

No, he doesn't want to be a consultant on the new OLTL

Sam Hall is still around I believe--his last interview where he kinda hated soaps was from just a while back. Wisner Washam is as well, he writes odd sounding eBooks on amazon.

I kind of got that he doesn't.. wow... even Sam Hall..

i wonder what got them to hate soaps

[EricMontreal22]

I'm exagerating. I doubt Don or Wisner hate soaps--they just don't want or need the work.

As for Sam I'm putting words in his mouth--he just, from what i remember, came off very cynical and saw his soap ariting, although he was largely very good at it, purely as a job--not a love or something to be proud of, which makes me wonder if he'd wanna be a consultant when they already have Agnes, he would make very little money, etc.

Thanks for this. I found it fascinating and Mr. Hall's honesty extremely refreshing. I loved his comments about his wife, Grayson Hall, and how he really felt about Dan Curtis. As is often said of this board, behind the scenes is more intriguing that what happens on our screens.
