Aggie's IMDB Trivia: She became ABC's overall daytime consultant [October 2000]. It was her hand that opened the All My Children (1970) photo album on the shows opening montage sequence from 1970-1989. When she went into labor and had to go to the hospital to deliver one of her children she brought her Dictaphone along so that she could continue working.  During the 1960s she simultaneously wrote both Guiding Light (1952) & Another World (1964). This led to a few minor problems such as in the 445th episode of Another World (1964) she wrote in the script that the scene takes place "in the coffee shop of Cedar's Hospital" - Cedar's Hospital is the fictional hospital on Guiding Light (1952). Her memoir, My Life to Live: How I Became the Queen of Soaps When Men Ruled the Airwaves, was released March 21, 2017. Once we were plotting an episode, and I looked down and saw that it was the 6,000th episode of 'All My Children.' So I said to the group, 'Hey, let's knock off and I'll take you to lunch.' When I had come back, for the first time in my life, I had forgotten that I was to have a telephone interview. So I called the reporter...and apologized profusely and explained that we discovered it was our 6,000th episode we were writing. She did some figuring and said: 'Do you realize that if you'd been writing nighttime, you would have been working for 240 years!'

I'm sorry I'm being really blunt here but why are you posting blog posts in the discussion forums, while going into nearly 15 year old blogs by long-deserted posters and leaving unrelated comments on them?

 

I know you're as passionate as the rest of us, but I'm really confused by your behaviour around here as of late.

Okay, I'm sorry, the formatting on that post did not come out at all like I wanted it to. I screwed up. As to blog posts & discussion forums & what goes where, I'm used to a different way of doing things & I have been trying to change that & thought that for the most part I was succeeding. Clearly this post was a failure.

beebs, don't worry about being blunt. I'll live. I appreciate clear, concise communication.
