Members Gray Bunny Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 Later in the spring when GL gets a 3.9 for 3 weeks in a row, JFP was outta there. P&G moved her to AW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 Was this around the time of the Blade/Rick storyline on Y&R :yikes: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch64 Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 Wasn't McLaibson from AW? I can't figure out why at least with JFP, she was tanking so they move her to their traditionally lowest rated soap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 (edited) 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.

Members Mitch64 Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 Of all those people Caso was forced to retire????? THAT is why soaps died a miserable humiliating death! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 Lets keep it real here. The P&G shows were not in a good place creatively in June 1994 and they were effectively over in the aftermath of OJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 (edited) Caso wasn’t forced to retire. Don’t believe everything you read. He lead a very productive professional life after ATWT. Edited June 21, 2024 by TEdgeofNight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted June 21, 2024 Members Share Posted June 21, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted June 22, 2024 Members Share Posted June 22, 2024 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted June 22, 2024 Members Share Posted June 22, 2024 (edited) 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.
