And yet Avery Kristen Pohl is the rare actor that they let go too soon, IMO. She was such a power hitter that I would’ve liked them to try to keep her around. The show needs villains who aren’t elderly serial killers or doomed Sonny adversaries.

Given how much story was created by her death, do  you still hold that position?

I do not think it was. My reasons? 1. writers' quote: Liz & Lucky's relationship is "foundational" to our vision of the current canvas. 2. Just finally declared their mutual feelings of love for one another.

Edit to add: Personally I think Korte sees Liz & Lucky as her Luke & Laura and Jason & Carly as her Brenda & Sonny. 

And, to me, this just writes itself. It's all right there. She just has to get out of her own damn*d way.

This is flat-out nitpick but I do not think ABC is a part of the equation. Now, Disney, yes, The Mouse company IS in many equations. Disney is why we have Brick, Varni & why Frank's higher-ups are not doing what the production company usually does, which is to mandate a smaller cast. Frank has a problem with letting people go. Disney & Varni actually like this big thing & its ability to have variety by rotating characters off & on screen. I think Disney is dead wrong - about all these things!!!! The sportscaster is not a journeyman level competent actor, has no charisma, has no stage presence; Varni does not get soaps or fans; this cast is bloated & not minimally so, hugely oversized. At least this is my take on the overall set-up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Frank did want this pairing, as he seems very hesitant about L&L2 and is probably trying to salvage Kristina with fans. I am not sure ABC would have stepped in, as there's nothing scandalous here, unless Varni or whoever is just a diehard fan of L&L2.

I think Mark Pinter had about a year or so notice on ATWT

so how was the Cyrus story resolved? Last I heard Jason was arrested for his murder

The first time Dixie died. When she was pregnant and hiding from Tad, she went to Europe to be with Lanie. Thats when she had her car accident that killed her and Lanie was the one that made the call to PV to inform everyone

    • Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
