It was all about EJ today.

Some of it was interesting, some of it was FF material. But I do think that EJ spoke for all of us when he discussed Kristen and Rachel with Chad. 😂😂

I still think that DF needs to play it as more sinister and less campy and bitchy. There was a little glimpse of a more sinister EJ in his scenes with Chad today, but in his scenes with Sarah and Xander, the campiness/bitchiness was back in full force, which was not the right choice. And I really hope that we continue to see the former, especially since he found out at the end that Sarah and Brady are investigating the tainted drug mystery. It just works better for the storyline as a whole, IMO. Btw Conner, you're doing a very good job in the role but it's "Father" not "Dad" 😂

One of the best things about all this focus on EJ is the effect that it's having on Sarah and Xander and their relationship. It finally looks like they're on the road to a reunion and I'm really looking forward to seeing it play out, no matter how long it takes lol. They just need to bring in someone for Brady (not Kristen) to cushion the blow when the reunion finally happens.

I'm also liking the idea of Gabi using Dimera money to save Titan. That could have a big ripple effect across the canvas as well.

And while I'll always have no use for Kristen, I actually thought she did a good job today as she told Rachel about Sophia's "death." Kristen, keeping the secret about her part in the death, could lead to something interesting happening.

And, we got an update about Owen! Hopefully, we never see him again though.

I'm sick of EJ and the Dimeras. I do still like Chad though.

I wish they'd get rid of all Dimeras except Chad. They are all played out.

I'm still on Monday's episode.

I forget they're Dimeras. They can stay as long as they parade semi naked in scenes.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread

I'm not sure about the issues between Dorrie & George... but she was fired according to some sources in mid 1976. It seemed as though Agnes was determined to get rid of her and when her first attempt at firing her failed (Robin S).. she and Doris Quinlan replaced her with Jennifer Harmon (who had played a feminist divorced mother in How to Survive a Marriage a year or so earlier).
I have a feeling Dorrie probably voiced her opinions behind the scenes since there was an article someone shared in this forum about how she didn't think the show went far enough in terms of writing Cathy as a feminist. And I tend to agree with her since Cathy lived with her dad and step mom, co-parented with Joe/Vicki, and was neurotic. Perhaps Dorrie thought that the show was calling Cathy a feminist without actually writing a feminist (i.e. talking the talk, but not walking the walk).
I know that Cathy #2 had made comment during her story at the Odessey House that the show decided to focus more on a causcian individual and their story at the House instead of one of the other POC that was in the meetings with Cathy. And fun trivia.. but Cathy #2 became a boxer at the end of the 1970s.

Y&R: Josh Griffith steps down as head writer

Something else that I thought of was about Daytime Emmy nominations. The nominations will be out in a few weeks and maybe there is buzz about Y&R not doing so well with nominations or at least underperforming compared to previous years. Of course these things are kept airtight because of how secure the process is, but you still may get academy members talking when they shouldn't be.
The nominations were very skimpy last year with just three shows nominated. A three show race of B&B, GH and DAYS or BTG (not sure how good DAYS was last year) for outstanding drama series would be embarrassing for Y&R and more than enough to send the head writer packing.

Loving/The City Discussion Thread

Yep yep, in this case I don't disagree at all. And I think that was part of the problem? A desire to return to basics while also I think trying to instantly appeal to the current ABC Daytime audience, or something? This review of Loving though when it started is interesting--the foundation DID seem solid. And then.... (This also is a short article where Marland mentions how Nixon was a consultant on GH when he wrote--something that was talked about briefly--when she sold AMC and OLTL to ABC she became their overall daytime creative consultant, but I've never heard details about. Interestingly it does make public the issue with Dan Wakefield, and says Marland and Nixon will co-HW. Also I'd love to have seen Nixon supporting Marland in meetings with Gloria Monty)

I don't have the date of the first news article, but the latter SOD review is from May 1984.

I think Douglas Marland stayed as long as he did at ATWT, because he finally had an EP (well, two) who supported him and his writing fully. AFAIK, he didn't have the kinds of fights with Robert Calhoun or Laurence Caso that he had had with the producers at all his other gigs. They just left him and his work alone and concentrated on producing the show.

Y&R: Josh Griffith steps down as head writer

Sweetie.. these are soap operas.. not Hallmark Channel movies or tv shows.
Death is a part of life and we all whine and complain about soaps being unrealistic. At the same time, there does need to be a balance so if one is going to write a terminal illness.. balance it out with a story that's warm and comical as a sort of palette cleanser.
And on a unrelated note, I really wish some posters would learn how to post links properly without copying and pasting useless info to go along with it.

Anyone who would even suggest killing off Tom Cudahy because he was too old is trash...and that's all I have to say about that, lol.

I agree with this, but, and I hope I provide better examples, in these papers from McTavish I think she's often wrong about who should be pushed out. Still, I DO think Brooke should have stayed (and so does McTavish, and of course she did stay until Frons himself wanted her out.)

Clearly, JG was inspired by Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo" when he wrote that storyline, so why didn't he acknowledge that inspiration and have Cane use the alias "Edmond Dantès" instead?

Loving/The City Discussion Thread

I could believe that Agnes Nixon created (or co-created) LOVING, in part, because she missed writing the 30-minute format. But she (and Douglas Marland) loaded LOVING with so much that it would've been impossible for ANYone to come in and know what the show was about.
If you want to "break new ground" and depict the turbulent goings-on at an Ivy League-ish university (which isn't really breaking new ground, amirite, BRIGHT PROMISE?), then write that. If you want to explore the socioeconomic and other differences among several families in a small East Coast town, then write that. But you can't write 'em both, especially on a brand-new show that's only 30 minutes (or so) and is filled with characters whom the audience doesn't know or care about.
