I agree. For all her faults, Sheri Anderson is a terribly creative writer, who writes "from the heart" and who knows how to create characters that leave indelible impressions on viewers.
I've wondered that myself. PFS had proven herself as a HW. In some ways, I think, she was more provocative than even Bill Bell. Unfortunately, she had to learn the hard way that men had greater authority even in a genre that was designed to cater to women.
ICAM with all of this! Because soaps are studio-bound, there's a tendency of their becoming sedate, for lack of a better word. There's nothing more boring than watching a pair of "talking heads" have the same conversation they've been having for weeks (or longer) over coffee, especially when the conversation reveals nothing about the characters themselves. Gloria Monty changed all that; and even though her emphasis on younger characters and action/adventure storylines might've crippled the genre in the long run, I still give her credit for giving the audience credit for being intelligent when it came to simple, human interactions.
