Members BetterForgotten Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 I’m sure Lesli Kay would appreciate being referred to as her character in real life... Also, Anne Heche trumps both Wheeler and Buchanan.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shamoostew Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 Was Jenson B a drunk back during her AW days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 I loved Ellen Wheeler during her first stint of AW but not so much the second. Though that was probably more the writing where they made Marley crazy. I'm glad I never watched much of GL during the Peapack debacle. The few times I tried to watch the show I couldn't handle the way they were shooting it. As far as the building houses out in the community thing, I tune in to soaps to watch something dramatic, soapy, and escape...not watch someone pound nails and building a house. I could do that somewhere here in town! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 If she was, no one knew about it. But, you have to remember that when she had the DUI & terrible accident, it was years after she'd left AW. End of AW, she was at ATWT for 2 days.Then she went directly to GH. Didn't she do Y&R after that? And, then, she had the accident. I think that tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 We have to realize, though, that the writing was on the wall. I do respect her for a last ditch effort to try something different to save the show. It was a disaster, but at least they tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yes, the writing was on the wall for both ATWT & GL. Then, of course, across the pathway, the writing was on the wall for AMC & OLTL, too. We have lived through a truly terrible time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shamoostew Posted October 9, 2019 Members Share Posted October 9, 2019 My sister lives in Peapack. Everyone in town loved Ellen Wheeler and the crew. They said that some of the actors smelled bad though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 Not sure if this is just a joke, but if it's not it is worth wondering who smelled bad, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 I love hearing that they loved EW & the crew! I'll laugh with you. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Amen! Amen to this as well! Although I give GL's cast and crew for "giving back" on the occasion of their big anniversary...yeah, that needed to be left out of the show.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 They did considerable work deciding on Ellen. And, I, for one, am glad they did. They had two Directors shadow Goutman for 2 years in preparation. Then, they made a decision. I truly loved watching the show. And, I found the different episodes inspiring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 These two are the options? Wheeler or Phelps? Is there a none of the above option?JFP did much more damage to daytime than Wheeler did. She ruined four shows I watched before her tenure (had given up on YR by the time she got her grubby hands on it). I know people get up in arms about the Peapack stuff, but if the story had been there, I think viewers would have gone with it to save their show. I think Goutman was worse than Wheeler (as his tenure went on) but that's hardly praise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 Goutman is a mixed bag because he was good at AW & terrible at ATWT. You'd need a third show tiebreaker. I think it's shameful that people blame Ellen for the things they do. Phelps is much worse. Conboy is much worse. Then you have peeps like Rauch who also were mixed bags - great some places & rotten to the core elsewhere. And we're not even getting into one of the worst modern aspects & that' s network interference! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 Please register in order to view this content If we go back to OLTL to begin at the beginning I think she was in 5 soaps total. And now we have to remember that Zimmer had a DUI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 It's just like when DAYS fans had to decide whether Stefano DiMera or John Black had fathered Hope Brady's baby. Then, like now, no matter who you voted for, you knew you wouldn't feel good about it later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
