I think she could handle material, just not a lot of movement, honestly. Her acting is still as good as ever, it just appears she has physical limitations.

I'm honored too, NBA.  Thanks for including me.  Sorry if I just took everybody else Off Topic.

Well, lol, so this is what it feels to join a party you weren't invited to!  

We wouldn't bend to what they want. Especially knowledgeable veteran/avid soap watchers like @DRW50, @vetsoapfan, @Vee, @Mitch, @All My Shadows, @Dr Neil Curtis, @SFK, @DramatistDreamer, @ChitHappens, @Mr. Vixen, etc.

TIIC couldn't handle this crowd...

I have worked as a writer and editor for many years, and would eagerly take on the challenge of penning a soap...as long as I had some degree of creative control, and as long as the show's canvas had not already been gutted beyond repair. I would have been miserable at THE GUIDING LIGHT in its final years, with the Bauers in tatters, and moronic adventure stories at its center. I would have immediately eliminated all things Santos and San Cristocrap, dropped the pointless, minor characters hogging the screen, and stabilized the legacy families.

 

At GH, I'd fight to have Rachel Ames make any and all appearances she agreed to make as Audrey Hardy, and I'd bring back  Denise Alexander's Lesley Webber as a central, regularly-seen matriarch. Sonny would disappear faster than you could say, "Sonny who?"

 

I think everyone who wants Denise Alexander back full time needs to go watch her last scene with Monica from last year.    She has physical problems.   She shakes, she can't stand steady, she must lean on tables to stay on her feet.  Her voice is unsteady too.    I don't think she could physically handle being on the show regularly, and I have to assume she doesn't want to be.

I had no idea that Denise Alexander was having health issues. How unfortunate. That being the case, I would still have her appear as often as she wished or was able to, health permitting.

No offense but unless you have a valid source Id say her health Issues are totally speculation. I mean Joe Mascolo at Days is on a lot in a wheelchair so Im sure if GH offered and DA wanted to she would return as Lesley

 

Also rewatched that scene if anything she seems a little hunched over but seemed quite capable to me

Have you watched Joe Mascolo on DAYS? He's not in great shape at all. Denise Alexander is in better condition but is clearly struggling.

 

BTW: We know you are obsessed with being The First to post anything, but next time label your [!@#$%^&*] properly and don't make the OP a post about what someone else who's not you and can post for themselves said - without a link to them. You know better than that, John.

i thought I had. I fixed it

Vee, you'd do justice to an OLTL revival.

 

As for me - I'd probably end up arguing with someone over an episode from 1982, and never actually write anything...

Even though I wasn't mentioned in this list (side eye--), I would be happy to help with OLTL if I could handle the Max & Gabrielle stuff.

 

I've wanted to write a Gabrielle is alive story for years, but I just don't know if I could do it. I just don't think it would turn out right at all.
