Well, at least it corrects the immensely boneheaded decision to make Anna his mother. I still wonder who's the jackass who actually suggested that?

 

The thing is Frank probably wants to keep WR on, and like Tristan Rogers said, they painted Peter into a corner so I wonder a lot about what they're going to do

He is just badly miscast.  I almost think he could have made a decent Lucky- not great, but decent.  
 

I look back at someone like Stephen Nichols as Stefan- I knew him as Patch.  He then blew me away as the cool, sophisticated, and calculating Stefan.  And at any point in his run I could see him in a romantic storyline (especially with Laura), or turn into a true murderous Cassadine.  That is what is missing here- someone with the versatility to play all sides, and then sell full psycho.

 

If they let Cynthia Watros go full Annie, at least I know she has the chops to make the story work as it begins the clock ticking on her run concluding in a year max.  Once she goes full vengeance, we need to know it’s headed for a climax.


I love Tristan, but I do think it was kind of nasty to speak about a co-worker this way while the story is still airing, and the man still employed.  I know he said it’s not his fault the story isn’t working, but still.

When you say someone was miscast when they still have the job, it is a dig against the person too.  I don’t disagree with what Tristan is saying, I just think there is a way to say it that doesn’t throw shade at a co-worker, especially since he doesn’t seem to have an issue with WR.

 

He could easily say the story has gone on too long, it’s compromised Anna and the legacy of how menacing Faison was to the characters, and everyone has been scrambling to make sense of the story that should have ended long ago.  The additions of Wes being miscast, etc is rude.  I think his rambling response about what Tristan said was ridiculous, but I think if he is miffed he has cause.

Oh my God yes! My first impression of Stephen Nichols was his portait of Stefan. And he was all of those things and very WUTHERING HEIGHTS Heathcliff to me and I loved that and the layers he did with that. So when I finally saw SN as Patch...it was nice and day. And I loove Patch when he returned as well. But I like the Johnsons on DAYS. And so of that is due to how Stephen plays Patch.

 

Same On Cynthia Watros as I sit here and hope she is allow to go where we know she can go when she goes cray cray. And unless they have a redemptive arc...yes, a year MAX.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!
