I think a lot of people come into daytime and say "Hey, they did this in primetime so let's do it in daytime," and that backfires. It just sets things back and does not come off as effective. And that is attributed to many factors, two of which are money and time. They want to write for plot and not character; daytime is all about character, which I don't feel primetime is necessarily about. Especially in today's world of Netflix and streaming. You have eight to twelve episodes to produce per season. Daytime is over 200 episodes. It's an entirely different animal altogether.

Hogan Sheffer, from my point of view, did some good work until he didn't, and it showed in the finished product. And it baffles me he was at The Young and the Restless, because his work was unrecognizable to me. And I don't know much about One Life to Live, but I do recall an interview Erika Slezak did where she didn't think Linda Gottlieb was necessarily right for the show. To quote: ❝ Who was a filmproducer and who was going to revolutionize daytime, which she did not do in two years. And she changed certain things. I suppose I can say what I feel: I don't think she was terribly good for the show. ❞

Yes, that's some of what I was referring to. I think Erika is completely wrong, but she's entitled to her opinion. Gottlieb and Malone changed that show (and a lot about ABC Daytime's production style) forever.

Both Jill and Linda Gottlieb featured Erika heavily including new love stories, but Gottlieb was a very big, brash personality making a huge amount of changes very fast (and not without difficulty or mistakes). Yet at the same time Erika has always gushed with praise for the material given to her by Gottlieb's HW, Michael Malone. It's complicated. Jill's tenure was ruinous for the show but more to Erika's tastes as she again got a vital new romance with a partner she adored. It happens. I don't fault Erika (or several other actors at the show, not counting James DePaiva who threw a chair at Gottlieb) for feeling how she feels even if I disagree.

Far from the first or last! To bring it vaguely back on topic: Tony Geary did that or more to Richard Culliton here at GH in 1997, and may or may not have thrown shít around with EP Wendy Riche, I can't remember.

That rumor is floating around and who knows? But I know I don't believe the rumor about their story's alleged content, which claimed they were resurrecting Susan Moore. That sounds like pure fanfic to me.

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
