Good point about her doing different kinds of writing quite a lot & often. OLTL had success with a book plot, I think, Marcy wrote it. Possibly it was at a time when Michael Malone was HW there as he was a very successful novelist & also Professor of Lit at a small college. And, of course, AW had Felicia Gallant as a very successful romance author & Mac's business empire was Cory Publishing. I wonder if this won't be more like Katie on ATWT writing Oakdale Confidential, though. Sheer spec as I have zero clue what their plan is. -
Possibly. I remember the "movie" being Jack/Jen, Bo/Carly, and John/Isabella centric. I am assuming they are just recreating the idea of people/couples being brought together in a storm, which isn't very creative in the first place. One Stormy Night was the worst of the 3 primetime movies too. Lol. Fair. Writing some press releases for her the two clients she has does not mean she can write what looked to be a 500 page novel. Stephanie spends 20 hours a day figuring out her love life anyway. -
One Stormy Night was the name of the January 1992 Days primetime episode. https://www.jason47.com/days/episodeguide1992.html From jason47 bio of Jeanne Marie Ford: when I was in high school, my best friend got me hooked on 'Days.' She first worked on the "Days" staff in 1992 as an unpaid intern and soon after became the show's writer's assistant from 1992-1996. https://www.jason47.com/days/writersinfo.html -
I have not been convinced any Stephanie since Shayna Rose can read. -
The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it. -
As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go. -
Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7: Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones, but it's not an official preemption. (Same procedure as Tues. April 29 and Wed. April 30.) This soccer coverage will be broadcast live in the European evenings, which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show. Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates. On CBS only. BeyondTheGates: This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada. Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7.

Stephanie writing a novel is odd. She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type. Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's? That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC. Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence. And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.

And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
