I strongly agree with all of this. Guiding Light was THE soap to explore a city-wide STD breakout. I've always thought that Reva should at the center of an STD breakout, as having the slut be embarrassed in her own wheelhouse, and subsequently harangued by her middle-aged would make for a great story. (Can you imagine Vanessa ripping into Reva about the former's STD?!) Yet, I'm going to defer to your judgement re: Jeffrey. I didn't watch during Cole's tenure. The idea, tho, of bands of middle-aged hausfrau viewers being all upset makes your idea immediately sellable. LOL
Yes also to a Holly/Ben fling. Make it all hot and steamy, of course. Add to it the idea of Holly truly finding herself and (mostly) forgetting Roger being a part of it. It would be fascinating to see what the writers could do with it....with young, naive, sexually-charged Ben as Holly's "Savior" instead of Ed, Ross or Fletcher. The reactions (and implications) of Ed, Ross and Fletcher to Ben's unintended success in "recentering" Holly is a very novel idea. Thanks, Mitch.
