That interview actually makes me sad for today’s soaps. An idea generated from outside the writing team, and the HW knows nothing about any of the players involved from that time period to draw on organically.

I am enjoying the story, just makes me sad about the state of things.

I completely agree.  It's sad in many ways.  Sad that we viewers are so desperate for an identifiable storyline, that we will gush at any bone they throw us.  

To be honest, it is not fundamentally a bad plot.  But the execution is awkward and too fast, making the storyline unbelievable.  Had Griffith taken it slowly and added more nuance and detail, the entire thing would seem much more plausible.  Every step along the way, we needed more explanation and exposition.

That interview was weird! I thought Devin was okay with the questions. I mean he had to go where JG led. Is he always weird in interviews? And I cannot imagine getting a year's worth of stories from something that began so gangbusters. And it is crazy that the shows still "do Sweeps" when as far as Neilsen goes, Sweeps no longer exist. But, the shows continue to time things on a Sweeps calendar & this story began at a weird time, the end of the biggest Sweeps period.

It's pretty accurate to say that with soap fans if you please one segment, you displease another. So, yeah, anything where you have some folk going WOW, wait 15 minutes till someone else declares it totally without merit! Fortunately it is possible to have a sense of humor about that seemingly inevitable irony.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.  
    • What else? #May4th
