Do you have a link to the most recent Italian eps?
From what I can tell, the instigation for Lily's story was Agnes Nixon's idea (absolutely as it's clearly spelled out in the "Love" bible that Nixon prepared before Marland came on board--it even says that Garth will be written out in late Winter '83 or Spring '84), but I'm sure Marland was upset about ABC's interference (and he certainly was MUCH more likely to throw up a fuss or even leave due to network interference than Agnes Nixon who I think had learned over the years to try to make the best of such situations.) I've never heard anyone suggest that Marland wasn't involved throughout his 2 (?) year contract, but I definitely could imagine his heart wasn't in it as much, and certainly by then 85 we are getting (from the archives) Nixon's own story projections and not just the Jonathan/Devil one...
One random page from the bible--I thought this was interesting that Nixon draws comparison between Chuck/Tara/Phillip on AMC and Stacey/Jack/Lily (with Jack and Lily as the end game--we know how that ended up...)
