Big ouch to GL's 4.0 already. 

Y&R folks, it seems they lost the most ground immediately after the OJ Ford Bronco chase drama. Was there a major shift in story quality?  They went from getting 9's in early '94 and staying in the 8's, and then June '94 hits and they're suddenly staying put in the mid 7's.

In 1995 P&G did a full-tilt boogie exec musical chairs. GL to AW, AW to ATWT, ATWT to GL. It was literally bad for all shows! I know they did not intend it to be bad but it worked out that way. And, it also was the beginning of a large amount of EP/HW upheaval for a number of years for those 3 P&G NY soaps.

No, John Valente was at AW. I have no idea where Laibson was because he was the wild card. Here, below, is the way it happened: 

ATWT: Laurie Caso gone. John Valente in.

GL: JFP gone. Michael Laibson in.

AW: John Valente gone. JFP in. 

With the result being that Laurie Caso was forced to retire. As it truly was musical chairs & one person got left out in the cold. 

I'm not sure if I said it wrong before. I'm not sure if I'm answering your question.

June 1994 the frat party started.

Fall 1994 was the start of Nick and Sharon eating the show for the next year and half.

Blade/Rick began Summer 1994. January 1995 Rick kidnapped Blade and switched identities.

Yes. And I have always thought it was a crying shame. However, he went on to have a second career after P&G absurdly threw him away!!! 

Laurie Caso absolutely positively was forced to retire FROM P&G!!!! You really need to not say some of the outright absurd INACCURATE things that you say!!! It is true that he went on to have a second career, but you don't know what the hell you are talking about by saying he was not forced to retire. HE WAS. THINK.

Someone needs to look up the definition of retire. And learn the facts that Laurence Caso works to this day professionally. Saying that he was forced to retire 30 years ago is incorrect. Also, Laurence Caso worked for about 7 years at P&G. He would not be eligible for retirement from P&G. Fact.  Now, back to the 90’s ratings.

Laurence Caso's Linkedin would seem to validate @TEdgeofNight's point that although he was fired from ATWT, he was never “forced” to retire from either the entertainment business or P&G in specific.

His company Shoot the Catfish productions was established by the investment of P&G

Although I would never presume to know him well enough to call him Laurie, it was rather simple to search beyond Wikipedia

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
