Members kalbir Posted February 10 Members Share Posted February 10 (edited) B&B December 30 Brooke gives birth to Bridget. 1993 was a pivotal year w/ big events whose impact is still felt today. Santa Barbara ends. Guiding Light kills off Maureen Bauer. Douglas Marland passes away. Reilly's Days takes off. Luke/Laura return to General Hospital. Bill Bell passes the reigns at B&B to Bradley.

Members Khan Posted February 11 Members Share Posted February 11 I think JER once said that he had worked on every soap that still was on the air at that time except OLTL. There was something symbolic in those events, I think. At the same time that Bill Bell is handing over the reins to the next generation and Douglas Marland is the first of legendary soap scribes to pass away, Reilly's DAYS, for better or worse, is ushering in a new era for the genre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Janet Marlowe Posted February 11 Members Share Posted February 11 (edited) People always mention DOOL coming within .3 of Y&R with a 6.9.... But AMC did that a couple times just a few years earlier in the 8s. Btw, it was Tad's return/coming face-to-face with Dixie Edited February 13 by Janet Marlowe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted February 11 Members Share Posted February 11 Guiding Light this week Maureen death. Sadly GL will never be the same. I had no idea that All My Children got w/in 0.3 of Y&R. So All My Children January 25-29, 1993 and Reilly Days June 23-27, 1997 both got w/in 0.3 of Y&R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted February 12 Members Share Posted February 12 (edited) It makes you wonder if Reilly didn’t have Curlee/Demorest, Calhoun, then JFP, and Ed Trach how GL would have turned out in the early 90’s… Curlee once mentioned that it seemed like P&G made them a HW-ing team to play her and Demorest against Reilly. Both sides being untested as HW’s and one side would eventually out-power the other (or a “name” HW would have been hired instead). However, the 3 of them decided to outsmart the executives and band together as a team. They were all different and had their own style, but managed to stick together as a united front against TPTB. Ultimately, Reilly (like McTavish) preferred to work alone and not be open to outside [constructive] criticisms of his work for the rest of his career.

Members kalbir Posted February 13 Members Share Posted February 13 Another week that All My Children came w/in 0.3 of Y&R. Y&R in the 9s! Big event was Sheila return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted February 13 Members Share Posted February 13 We’ll see when the rest of the 1993 and 1994 ratings are posted if this is a myth or not - but it’s been said Victor’s presumed death/Kansas storyline gave Y&R some of the highest soap ratings in the 90’s. Specifically the week Victor “returned from the dead” and was back in Genoa City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 13 Members Share Posted February 13 I just posted this same story from the Locher Room chat not 2 days ago! Only I included Curlee referring to him as "Jimmy". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted February 13 Members Share Posted February 13 JFP calls him “Jimmy” too and speaks of him with the same affection. I guess he was a good friend/coworker to those he knew? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
