It seems as though things may be finally coming to a happy end - various past sources on Twitter are hinting at good news, Mädchen Amick is saying she is pleased to be hearing "positive signs for a deal". I'm sure everyone wants to close the week and the Friday news dump with the deal, so hopefully we'll get it by then.

Vulture basically recaps what we know at the moment.

Sherilyn Fenn made mention last night of Lynch also wanting enough time to shoot the show, likely on location, without having to "rushrushrush". This makes sense. With Lynch, so much of his magic happens on-set, in the moment, when he comes up with something. It's inspiration and improvisation - like the finale, which was largely made up on the set; or the casting of Fenn and Amick as Audrey and Shelly in very different roles than originally intended, as informed by the actresses; like Sheryl Lee, who he decided needed a bigger role in the show than just the girl on the beach; like Frank Silva the set dresser, who he impulsively decided would be (as he told Phoebe Augustine, who played Ronette, while they filmed her walk across the bridge in the pilot) "the bad guy, but don't tell anybody."

Will McCrabb, the very random source (and Diane Keaton's cousin) who first tipped people off about some of the alleged budget/deal issues with Lynch and Showtime weeks ago on social media, has now followed up with some positive sounding tweets about the situation today. As well as this alleged quote:

Real or not, things are sounding better overall from the Lynch camp.

Thanks.

It's too bad so much time was spent on topics Ashbrook clearly wanted to swerve around (like the naive idea of "crowdfunding" Twin Peaks and the bizarre moment where the interviewer seemed to be implying that it was David Lynch's fault...not the best thing to say to one of his cast members).

Ashbrook still looks good, and sounds just the same. And for the whopping two minutes that were actually spent on important topics, the story about the diner scene with Don Davis was very touching.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.    
    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.
