ALL: Errors, Myths, Omissions & Firsts that weren't

[Contessa Donatella]

Yeah, I don't like to judge people. At the same time I'm annoyed because it's another dadgummed error, UGH. But, I know that Lucci doesn't mean, ya know, any harm, but I just wish she would tell the great anecdotes like are in her memoir that do not in any way rely on facts!  And because it's Lucci I'll give her a compliment:  (which I presume people know what GOAT stands for)

She is the ultimate GOAT and BRAT girl of soaps.   I think it's a compliment for any show to be wrongly accused of being created by Agnes Nixon. Hehehe. 

[Contessa Donatella]

That is totally perverse but I kinda love it. A compliment because it's the very great Agnes Nixon. Well, Nixon & Labine are both on my list of favorite soap authors, which runs to 15.

I would not be offended if someone said I was Created by Agnes Nixon... but knowing myself... I'm more Bradley Bell material in real life. (metaphorically speaking of course)

But yeah, Love to read all of your notes and analysis on these issues (errors, myths and etc) and watching you search for answers with the curiosity of a child. Not many people are like that... and it inspires me. Don't ever change. No matter what people say or the hate you you receive.

Firstly, you judge people ALL THE DAMN TIME.

Secondly, why are you taking this special so seriously? It isn't like these are all paid historians discussing a documentary they put on about AMC. It's just a shout out for the fans.  No academic would ever take the information from this for face value.

I'm sure that to most people, at least it they are here in this topic, if they belong here, then it is more than clear why something like this would come up here. I mean a part of why this began was the Y&R live primetime special where they said two real egregious errors. I think we all realize that these kinds of events have a high probability of one or two juicy errors. I mean this is not an academic inquiry & I for one am glad of that.

I just re-watched "Tomorrow 1975 Looks at Soap Operas". I hadn't watched it in years. When Agnes Nixon spoke about Erica's abortion she mentioned that she did so without her husband's permission. So, just as Will found it pertinent here, so did Agnes Nixon then on late-night TV.

I find that there is something I must point out. So I had referred to Internet sources having errors. But someone posted ridiculing that idea & even suggesting I was making these things up. Now, that same person is on a rant about all the errors on wikipedia. I wonder which it is, what they said here, the other day, or today, in another topic. I suspect we all know this answer.

Thanks for saying this, all of this!!! 

Now, amazing, got news back from the Syracuse connection already & it basically narrows down the SFT Kathy abortion to a specific week!

THIS IS JUST.... Wonderful! And huge THANKS to both you and the person at the library! So nice of them to check this out. Must have taken them a considerable time. And to do this for free... Ah...
