Members j swift Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 I thought the funding for Basic Black was based on John being an Alamain. So, how is the business funded today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 Didn't he get money from Isabella as well? I am not even sure if him and Marlena ever got their money back from the time EJ/Stefano stole it when John was painted to be a Bernie Madoff ponzi schemer about 10 years ago. Or maybe Basic Black has made enough where it can fund itself now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 Look at y'all, demanding plausible explanations from DAYS. It's cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 I do understand the storyline purpose, but when you think about the show in later years while he was still on contract- they wouldn’t give in to Vanessa’s demands to stay during her original run. They killed off Alan. They wouldn’t bring Genie back full time. He also fit into a spot they needed- a legal figure to butt heads with Sonny but not in a serious way. And I like Mac, I just can’t believe how many other, more vital characters left and he was still standing. That is a waste of time. Especially when it comes to any business storyline on DAYS in the last 30+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 JJY is probably cheap with a crap guarantee. But yeah you're right, he was also a familiar legal figure they can trot out on occasion to pretend that Sonny and Crew might get in trouble this time.

Members Vee Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 And I'm happy with Uncle Mac! I don't come to this thread for slander against the star of Werewolf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 Well, you had me at that one for a second, but I doubt JJY's salary/appearances even come close to what Vanessa wanted lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 Personally I love Mac. I think they should have Maxie singing his praises everyday. And that Robin's kid should call him grandpa. He's probably the only decent person left on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted December 6, 2021 Members Share Posted December 6, 2021 Clarice lasted 11 years on Another World from February 7, 1975 to August 15, 1986. Clarice was never a major star on the show, but she was given some stories throughout the years- having a baby with Robert Delaney, being raped by Jerry Grove, Carl Hutchins hitman, Ross, planted a bomb in the Ewing car intended for Larry, but Clarice survived when the car exploded. They created a family for Clarice, and her father married Ada. This made her Rachel's step sister, and probably contributed to her longevity on the show.

Members j swift Posted December 7, 2021 Members Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Amongst the many reasons that I am surprised Mac Scorpio lasted so long is because he served as the catalyst for Glory Monty's 1991 revamp of GH. Mac was introduced the same week as Bill Eckart, his sister Jenny, mother Angela, father Frank, and (a personal favorite) his cousin Joey. The revamp was considered a creative and ratings failure, so within months most of those introduced were fired. Frank died in an earthquake (the type that happen too frequently for an east coast port o' call), Angela moved and sold the bakery (which was never going to be the new Kelly's), and Joey just disappeared. By the end of Monty's second tenure in 1993 they were all gone except Mac. So, it is a true surprise that he lasted beyond that infamous stage in GH history.

Members Khan Posted December 7, 2021 Members Share Posted December 7, 2021 I still wonder why GH would saddle the luminous Carol Lawrence with such a nothing role like Angela Eckert. It's like watching Patti LuPone play a suburban mom on "Life Goes On" and pretending it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 7, 2021 Members Share Posted December 7, 2021 Not disagreeing but wasn't Jenny around torturing us for a little longer than that? Sly was definitely around longer, but he was a kid. And didn't they throw Mac at Holly for a minute which might have helped him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
