Execs don't lie, huh?  Why survey JT if they would not consider replacing him?  

 

I remember when Frank was at OLTL and it was rumored that Fiona (Gabrielle) was getting fired.  Frank swore that was not true and Fiona was not going anywhere.  Three weeks later, she lie dead in Bo's arms.

Tony Geary pretty much spilled the info that we all already knew.  Guza was writing with strong input from Tony, Maurice, and Steve.  Once JFP was out, and replaced by Frank and Ron, things started changing.

 

At first during their tenure, the show became more of an ensemble without a huge focus on just Sonny/Jason.  We all saw the McBain/Sam thing coming.  Steve wanted to be treated like the star of the show.  With the ear of the executive producer.  Those days were over.

 

He was also burned out, and everyone thought the show would not be around within a year.

 

But I never got any impression Frank didn't want him or the character.  He just wanted to not cater to him.  I get the feeling there was more ego at this show than at OLTL, and less of that it's all for the good of the show teamwork.

 

I wonder if Steve will now be relieved.  He had to try pretty hard to try to make Dylan happen.  He can just ease back in to Jason.

I am respectful but I am also exasperated. You have a version of events you are committed to believing, but it's not the truth and it's not binary. You see any discussion of this in terms more complex than one person wanting Steve gone vs. wanting him around as being about excusing someone - it's not. The fact is Frank wanted to keep Steve but make him do things his way. Steve left. And both are bad for the show.

Well, to be fair to Angie McD ... technically as that post he's not going anywhere

LOL. Curious to see if JT does end up exiting. My guess is Miller stays on GH and Burton's Borg returns. Frank must be loving the thought.

 

And yes, GH wasn't cancelled in 2012 because they didn't have a replacement. Frank keeps the show cheap.

 

Guess Elliott and Budig's salaries are paying for the Borg. And I'm guessing ME will go too. Too bad they didn't let RH go as well. And DeVry. And Stafford. Those all could save them a few bucks. Jillian and Ninugh and Franco are all pointless wastes.

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
