I don't think ATWT breaking up Jake and Vicky would have played any better with the AW audience. ATWT should've just created a new character for Eplin and played that. I know as an ATWT viewer I never really cared about Jake no matter how hard they shoved him down our throat.

There was so much wrong about it. EFulton brought up disrespecting AW & its fans. It also disrespected ATWT & its fans & they resented the Bay City Intruders & I never could blame them for that.

Plus it disrespected both the AW actors & their characters! Hot mess indeed! Cass has a signature curl at the nape of his neck, left side & ATWT Hair wanted to cut if off immediately & he had to fight them over it telling them the fans would plotz & they didn't get it at all. And then the ATWT writers gave him a crude joke to tell about Lila that Cass NEVER would have said about any woman EVER. 

That grand PGP idea was a total bust.

JFP adored RKK and brought him onto GH where there was allegedly even more trouble. He wasn't forced on her.

The timeline on ATWT/AW is also inaccurate. Jensen and ABC got in hot water for her doing GH in 2000. AW ended in the summer of '99 and Vicky Hudson was killed off on ATWT almost immediately thereafter that same summer-fall, in a plane crash. By the time Jensen briefly did double duty on both shows, which got her in hot water at P&G/CBS, Vicky was dead and part of a ghost storyline wrapping up on ATWT. She was therefore appearing as both Melissa on GH and Ghost Vicky for a couple days in early 2000. They didn't kill Vicky because of GH, the character was killed long before she got hired at GH. They killed Vicky because they wanted to.

JFP and RKK came to be great friends. That doesn't mean they didn't start out that way or that NBC didn't force him on her. 

Or do you think RKK is lying in this interview?

Jensen was in breach as of the first day she showed up on air on two different shows. Could be that was Ghost Vicky. Dunno. But it was definitely in 1999. 

2000 only enters in at all because that was when the lawsuit got started. And, then it took ages to come to an end. My point was that they killed her off because she wasn't staying & she wasn't staying because she preferred another job & she had one. If I didn't express that well enough, so sorry. Maybe this will help. I stand by it. They would not have killed her if she was going to stay!!! Not only is this the actual truth but it's even common sense.

    • Actually Kim Zimmer got six weeks off to test the waters for pilot season in L.A. - she said later she went on many auditions and got one offer for a sitcom, but she would one of many in an ensemble. She turned it down, because it wasn't worth leaving Guiding Light for a supporting role on a sitcom. 
    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
