Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 Completely forgot about that--and can't remember what the focus was at the time. She was given by ABC a primetime episode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) And then in summer 1999 she was originally gonna have Robin Christopher take over as Cassie. Thank god someone talked her out of that. I liked the ise of Skye on The ABC soaps from 1999-2012 JFP made some dumb ass choices at OLTL Replaced Kevin Stapleton with Tim Gibbs Fired Don Jeffcoat (Joey) Fired Stephen Markle (Mel) Forced Robin Strasser out Tried to replace Erin Torpey with that Temp Jessica. ES stopped that Fired Sam Ball (Drew) i know im missing somme Edited June 4, 2020 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EllenP Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hated JFP on Y&R but her run could have been different with a mandate to keep the music cues and sets intact. She suffered no fools among the cast there. I loved her OLTL. It was my first exposure to that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 I always heard that was due to preemptions during the day. When did that episode air? I want to say July/August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think it was late June of 1998. GH also aired an episode in primetime on June 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 Thank you. I believe the OLTL episode was the culmination of the Georgie Phillips murder (Todd was holding everyone hostage with a fake bomb), was GH's episode the culmination of a big story too?

Members DRW50 Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think it was a normal episode. I remember Marlena de la Croix complaining about how the OLTL lens looked like it had been dipped in Vaseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yup. Pamela K. Long, Richard Backus and Gordon Rayfield were listed as the sole writers on that episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 It was very exciting for my teenage self (soaps in primetime??!) at the time but it was a mess of a story. Did the show even address Rachel being a murderer? I just rewatched Rachel's confession and this was not self-defense, she straight up bludgeoned her with a bat. I know it was due to trauma from Georgie beating her up earlier but...damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 4, 2020 Members Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Rachel was packed off to prison not long after this (Nora tried to go on the run with her but I think Bo stopped them). A few years later, Rachel briefly returned with Ellen Bethea back in the role, but that was mostly watching over Nora after she lost her memory. I don't remember it being mentioned very much with the last recast. Edited June 4, 2020 by DRW50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
