Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either.
If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work.
I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back
I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well. If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic, The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic. Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.
Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983? I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club. In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion. If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set. But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation
Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes,
Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did.
So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial.
But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in.
Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.
Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe.
Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point.
All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana.
His first character was Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.
When I saw that look on Will's face, I thought, "Yeah, there's no one on set giving direction to Crew Morrow. There's no one giving notes."
His dad Josh was green when he started, but not this green.
