Writing for the soaps
by Rouverol, Jean

Publication date 1984
Topics Television soap operas
Publisher Cincinnati, Ohio : Writer's Digest Books
https://archive.org/details/writingforsoaps00rouv/page/n15/mode/2up

There are 2 books by former soap opera writer Jean Rouverol, WRITING FOR THE SOAPS  & WRITING FOR DAYTIME. Basically it is the same book with two different covers & one may be hardback & the other quality softback. Excellent book. Out of print but available, but very expensive. Like $150.00. It appears that this is like a library book. 

You have to sign up here, register, have an account.

Click BORROW. 

Read as much as you like for your first session. 

Come back & repeat for second session.

Apparently it will renew as long as you continue to use it. 

She & her husband were also victims of the Blacklist. However, the book is not political.

Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists. 

5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning

Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin

Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester

Now for my comments.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it.

Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan.

Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning?

Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother?

All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • A really good show to start the week. Philip is really going to shoot himself in the foot, isn't he? He should just be grateful he still is co CEO on paper, but instead he is trying to insert himself into the Hospital takeover. I worry he is going to mess up the whole thing and Xander won't get it, and Bo won't get the cure. Eventually Xander will have to fire him. Alex and Brady were both great today shutting him down. Amused me that nobody has bothered to clue Brady in on the forged letter fiasco. Kristen and Brady discussing their messed up child was very good. I liked that Kristen finally acknowledged her culpability in what Rachel has become. And her interactions with Alex were good too. Alex is strangly working for me these days. Apart from his obsession with Stephanie's soft core porn book of course. I'm in love with Doug3 and Holly. That is all.

      Glad that Johnny and Chanel have worked things out. They do communicate well. I think he will be the next arrest in the shooting though. Kate and Roman's discussion would have been better if she had been honest about her recent involvement in corporate fraud, but glad he explained about the gun. Why does Alex have a CEO plaque on his desk? That was SO last year
    • Yay!!!

      This news definitely made my day!!! So happy for MVJ, the cast and crew, and all it's faithful fans.
    • Despite having never watched Ryan's Hope, I read Tom Lisanti's book recently as I'm fascinated by behind the scenes stories of soap production. A really enjoyable read, which gave a good sense of the show and New York at that time.  I have to say though, that the vitriol regarding the quality (or lack thereof) of Loving only makes me want to watch that show even more! (It's on my list anyway as I've never seen The Loving Murders).

    • I think it's funny that Philip is walking around in today's episode thinking it is wrong that people are still mad at him for stealing half of Xander's inheritance.  While Alex struggles to finish reading a manuscript in under 118 hours, Philip was like, “hey, help me out with Xander, let's be cool, and forget that I basically blackmailed you and your girlfriend to lie that I was cucking you.” This is truly a Monday miracle, because I enjoyed the Kristin and Brady scene.  It is completely un-Kristin-like to have any insight into her behavior, but I appreciated the attempt.   We're so far from Kristin-social-worker that we met back in the 90s, but it was a clever callback to show that she's still in there somewhere.  Kristin has become such a loon, it felt like she was being humanized. Finally, I found solace in the fact that I've gone my entire life without having a job where my boss needs to tell me where they keep the gun, -- on the first day of training. (I guess Salem does have an unusually high murder rate for such a small population?)
    • Wow!!

    • CBS should consider reviving an old soap opera for the 3 PM time slot.   The EDGE OF NIGHT..... 
    • Why is Liam/SC still in the 7 Dwarves hat?  They cut his head wide open?  Our President only had to wear a maxi pad for 2 weeks and he had a paper cut on his ear.  That musta been some bump on the head?     I happened to see Liam talking to Bill today.  Man DD is terrible.
