Here's a fun game we can play... Imgaine you were the head of whatever network airs your favorite soaps and you could do ANYTHING you wanted to them, you could fire/re-hire anyone you wanted, change any story you want, you could even CANCEL whatever soaps u don't like... You have total control, what would happen to your soaps and the network they are on? BE creative and HAVE FUN!

MINE-

I would be in charge of ABC...AND-

As my first act i would FIRE Jill Farren-Phelps as Executive Producer of "General Hospital" and replace her with the amazing Wendy Riche (Executive Producer of GH from 1992-2001) and my next step would be to FIRE Robert Guza Jr., and Charles Pratt Jr., as head-writers and replace them with the AMAZING Matthew and Claire Labine (Head-Writers of GH from- ?-1997) The Labine-Riche team was amazing and unstopable and produced some of the best material in "GH" history such as Stone and Robin, Maxie's Transplant, Karen/Jagger/Brenda Triangle... ETC!) As far as stories go...

Well....
The Mob Hour as i call it would be reduced DRASTICALLY... I'd have the writers find some way to Break Sonny and Carly up for good and send Sonny to prison, so he would only appear like every couple of weeks... Then i would FIRE Tamara Braun and replace her with Sarah Brown (Carly, 1996-2001). Carly's role would then be increased dramatically as Carly now would have to fight to survive on her own and raise micheal without Sonny. Next I would bring the focus back to the hospital... I would have a story in which the hospital is on the verge on being taken-over by Mercy hospital and Monica, Alan, Audrey and the rest of the hospital board must fight to save "GH". Next i would bring romance back into the show with new couples...

I would hire back-
Kristina Wagner as Felicia Jones-Scorpio- Felicia would come back into town to kick some sense into Maxie and Georgie. I'd give her a five-year contract.

Brad Maule as Tony Jones- Tony would get a HUGE story as he and Bobbie find their way back to one another, and fall back in love. Eventually they would remarry which pleases Lucas. I'd give him a five-year contract.

Rachel Ames as Audrey March-Hardy- Audrey would resurface to help Liz with her pregnancy and plan her wedding to Rick. Audrey would also serve as a key figure in helping save "GH" from the take-over. I would give Rachel Ames a five-year contract.

Jane Elliot as Tracey Quatermaine- Tracey would return to "Port Charles" for GOOD! She would come with intentions of reeking havoc on the Quatermaine family, howeverwhen she is diganosed with Breast Cancer she would grow a heart and her and Emily would bond through chemo-therapy and Tracye would become a whole new women. Jane would have a two-year contract. (BTW, Tracey would SURVIVE the cancer and after being diagnossed as Cancer-free would find a whole new life for herself by giving and collecting money for Breast Cancer Research... Monica would help..) Emily alas would not survive and would pass away in her sleep... This would provide HUGE storylines for Leslie Charleston, Stuart Damon, Billy Warlock, Steve Burton, John Ingle, Anna Lee, Jane Elliot, Chad Brannon and Wally Kurth, who would all have to mourn Emily.

Next, For the funeral several of "Port Charles's" former citizens would return for the funeral and memorial of Emily Bowen Quatermaine, among them Brenda Barrett-Jax (Vanessa Marcil), Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer), Tom and Simone Hardy (Matthew Ashford and Felicia M. Bell), Sarah Webber (as potrayed by Jennifer Skye from 1997-?),Mike Corbin (Ron Hale), Juan Santiago (Micheal Saucedo) Keesha and Justice Ward (Senita Ashifad and Joesph C. Phillips), and V. Ardanowski (Lisa Creuslio) Also, Lucy Coe, Kevin Collins, Chris Ramsey, Karen Wexler-Cates, Frank Scanolon, Amanda and Alison Barrington, and Mary Scanlon would all come from the show "Port Charles" to help mourn Emily....

The funeral episodes would last two-days and be emotional as one of Port Charles's most beloved citizens is mourned... During the procession Emily's best friends Gia Campbell, Elizabeth Webber, Nicholas Cassidine, Lucky Spencer, and Sarah Webber would all read poems about Emily each one would get more emotional and cry and scream... Next Boyfriend Zander Smith would get emotional as he reads Elizabeth Barrett-Browinng's poem "How Do I Love Thee... Let Me Count The Ways..." he would beocome so emotional that Luke and Tony have to escort him out of the church. Next former Boyfriend Juan Santiago would deliver an emotional eulogy in which he gets so emotional that he cannot finish and leaves the church in tears.

The final scenes of Emilys Funeral would consist of the Quatermaine Family, Monica, Alan, AJ, Jason, Edward, Lila, Skye Tracey, Dylan and Ned all sitting in the first pew of the church after everyone else has left and they each go up one by one to Emilys coffine and say their last words to Emily....

AJ would apologize to Emily for not being a better brother, and would vow to change his life to make Emily proud.

Jason wouldn't say much but would shed his first tear.

Monica would tell Emily how proud she was of the women she became and how much she would miss "My baby Daughter"... Then she would grow emotional as she realizes what this means.

Edward would for the first time in a long, time show his soft side and cry.

Lila would be too emotional to say much else other than "I'll Miss you Emily."

Alan would go into hysterics as he tells Emily what it has meant to him, having a daughter as wonderful as her.

Tracey would get extra emotional as she touches Emilys face and says "It should have been me... it should have been me... not you, young thing.." Tracey would cry so much that Dylan has to remove her from the room.

Skye would say a sweet and short "I'll Miss You.." and then apologize for "All the hurt i've caused you." and then she would leave the church.

After this i would focus on other characters...

Elizabeth and Rick will marry in a lavish cermony on the lawn of the Quatermaine Mansion. They will move into Audrey's guest house and be happy when Elizabeth gives birth to a baby girl that she with permission from Monica names Emily Love Lansing. They will be happy until Rick and Emily are killed by a vengeful Faith. in the last of the mob story... Elizabeth will go crazy and plot revegne against Faith, and when she finds one of Ricks guns she hunts Faith down and threatens to shot Faith... the two women struggle after a fist fight and the gun will go off. Elizabeth will be shot, but will only suffer a small bruise on her arm... Faith meanwhile will slip into a coma and be shipped to a hospital in Switerzland.


With Sonny in prison, and Rick and Faith dead, Jason and Courtney will be free from all their mob ties and will be able to find a life of their own... They will get married in a small service peformed by the Justice of the peace and they will leave Port Charles for a better life.

With the mob familys of Port Charles out of business for good the police department will suffer lose of business and have to lay off many people, first on the list will be Lt. Taggert, how will leave Port Charles with his sister Gia who he will convince to move back to New York with him and go back to school at U Of NY.

Back in town Felicia will try to regain her position as the girls mother but is stunned to find that Maxie has grown into a bitter, resentful and rude girl who does not obey or respect her mother... Felicia will try to discipline Maxie but it turns out to be fruitless as Maxie starts haning out with the wrong crowd, namely Kyle and Zack who get her involved even more heavily with drugs and alcohol... One night after sneaking into a rave and getting high with Kyle and Zack Maxie ends up going home and spending the night in Kyle's bed... She finds out she is pregnant... Felicia and Mac are Furious and demand tell Maxie she is too have the baby and give it up for adoption... Maxie however is scared and panicks when she has Dylan drive her to have an abortion. When Felicia finds out about this she is horrified that Maxie would go against her religous believes and decides that maxie needs a more structered environment and sends Maxie to a private, all-girls boarding school.

And to tie up loose ends, Luke is excited when he recives word that Laura has made a full recovery and is asking for him. Estatic Luke goes to bring Laura home. He is devestated when he gets to the clinic and they tell him that Laura is gone... He finds out that she has been kidnapped by a women that the clinic says "Called herself Helen"... Instantly Luke knows that helen is really HELENA! and with that the Spencer-Cassidine war starts up again. Luke, Lucky and Nicholas how has disassociated himself with the Cassidines start out on a world-wide trek to fine where Helena is hiding Laura... With each step Helena feeds them false hope, until Luke cannot take it anymore and has a complete nervous breakdown. and Lucky must commit Luke to a mental hospital.

She storms out on Jack and goes to the Pine Valley Grill and gets drunk out of her mind. She wakes up the next morning stark naked in a strange bed... She is scared and doesn't know where she is... She gets up and opens the bathroom door she screams when she looks in the shower and sees of all people... TAD MARTIN! "TAD" she screams... "Erica!" tad screams back...

Erica and Tad continue to have an affiar knowing that its wrong... After making love to Tad, Erica goes back to the penthous and apologizes to Jack.. he accepts her apology and they make love. Weeks pass and Tad and Erica are secretly sleeping together every spare second they can.... But soon Erica grows guilty and tells Tad that its over and she cannot see him anymore...

Once in PV Maria regains all her memory and she tells Adien to take a hike... She asks Edmund if they can try to be a family again. He of course says yes. They get remarried and then decided if they want any kind of life together at all that they need to move away from Pine Valley. They pack up their things and leave for LA to be near Maria's brother Mateo and his wife Haylee.

Devestated after Erica dismisses him Tad becomes a reck, neglecting his job and Jamie... He starts drinking becomes addicted, one night after drinking heavily he crashes his car, with Jamie in toe. Luckily Liza was nearby and saw the car crash and calls 911... at the time she doesn't know that it was Tad. Tad and Jamie are rushed to the hospital... They both escape without any serious injuries, and Tad passes the breathalizer test narrowly. However tad cannot help but feel guilty, so he goes to Brooke and confesses that he was drinking and needs help... Brooke is Furuious that tad would drive drunk with his son in the car and slaps Tad across the face refusing to ever speak to him again. She calls her lawyer and has tad arrested and charged with "Endangering the life of a minor", "DIU" and then files a lawsuite against him for full custody charging him w/ being an unfit parent.

Tad is distraught at what has transpired and goes to Opal and begs her for help in getting Jamie back... She is obliged to help until Brooke explains to her that Tad was drinking when he got in the accident. Opal is horrified and arranges an intervention... Joe, Ruth, Brooke, Opal, Jamie, Liza and Adam all attend the intervention which is lead by Lysitrata. The intervention gets heated as Tad turns on all his friends and Family, even Jamie... During one heated argument Tad calls Brooke an "Ugly, Worthless w****" Jamie gets pissed and says he doesn't love Tad anymore... After hearing this Tad realizes what his life has come too and agrees to enter rehab.

After Micheal is defeated and thrown into prison, Lena and Bianca break up and Lena returns to Poland. Even though Bianca knows she did the right thing by breaking up w/ Lena

While in Rehab Tad meets a beautiful, friendly and caring nurse named Jennifer Willis she is the leader of group threapy sessions and is Tads personal shrink.. during the course of thier sessions Tad and Jennifer start to reveal personal secrets too each other and they really start to bond. After weeks of sessions Tad and Jennifer kiss, and they both enjoy it, however because of her professional oath Jennifer cannot even think of dating Tad and tells him so.. She makes sure that Tad is given a new threapist so that she won't be tempted. However they continue to find themselves drawn to each other and after months of trying to aviod each other they give in and make love. When Jennifers boss finds them making love in a storage closet she is fired for jepordizing a patients recovery... She leaves Pine Valley distraught... OR SO WE THINK.

After Tad is released from rehab he goes to Brooke and begs he for forgivness and pleads her to let him see Jamie... Brooke is hesitant but agrees to give Tad a second chance and arranges for supervised visits. A Social worker is assigned to oversee Tads visits with Jamie. To Tads surprise the social worker is none other than Jennifer Willis! Tad is shocked and surprised to see Jennifer and they embrace and kiss each other on the lips... The kiss only lasts a few minuets and then Tad goes about his visit w/ Jamie.

Everything is going great for Tad and Jennifer... That is until Tad encounters a lonely, depressed Erica and they lock into each others sight... Instantly Tad is drawn back to Erica, and they go up to her penthouse and make love.... After making love to Erica, Tad realizes that he is supposed to be with Erica, and he agrees to break-up with Jennifer.

The break-up with Jennifer doesn't exactly go smooth as Jennifer grows hysterical and calls Tad a "Ba*****and Jerk." she slaps him across the face and says "Get Out... JUST GET OUT." When Tad leaves Jennifer throws a vase of flowers against the wall and screams "NO NOT AGAIN... I AM NOT LOOSING ANOTHER MAN TO THAT HUSSIE ERICA KANE!". She falls the the floor in tears.

Jennifer formulates a plan to get herself close to Erica so that she can "Kill the w****, Kill the W****". And she finds the perfect plan she will use BIANCA to get to Erica. Jennifer decides that what she needs to do is leave Pine Valley and then come back with a new idenity. So she leaves and then weeks later returns with her hair died Red and Blue contacts in her eyes, oh and about Twenty-extra pounds on her... She is also calling herself Jessica.

The two start to date and Bianca finds herself falling madly in love, something she didn't think she would ever do again... The next part of her plan goes well as she invites Bianca on what is supposed to be a romantic vacation in The Bahamas... But is really an evil plot to lure Erica to her death... Bianca meets Jennifer/Jessica at her house like she is supposed to do, but is given a huge surprise when she gets there... Jennifer Knocks her out and Ties her up and then throws her into a dark, snake-filled basement. Bianca is petrified and starts crying... She is able to get the gage out of her mouth and begs Jennifer to let her go... but Jennifer will have none of that... "Why oh Why" Bianca screams and begs and Jennifer gives her the whole story "Because your selfish mother has taken whats mine for the last time..." Bianca has no idea what Jessica is talking about and says "What are you talking about you psycho?" Jennifer then tells Bianca everything about how she is Jennifer Stamp and her father is Chris Stamp... and how she blames Erica for something truly awful, Chris's suicied (which is revealed to have happened off-screen, after chris left pine valley)... Bianca is stunned and says "No, Not Chris!"... Jennifer has had enough of this and slaps Bianca "Shut up, Lesbo" she says... Jennifer then videotapes Bianca tied up and crying in the snake filled basement and sends it Overnight to Erica with a note that says "If U Want Bianca to live u better follow directions"....

Erica is Horrified when she sees her baby is in trouble and decideds it is best to do exactly what the tape says... So she follows the directions and goes to the house where Bianca is being held.....

Erica is able to free Bianca and the Bianca is able to break open the basement window. Bianca then goes around front and unlocks the basement freeing Erica. They rush back to Pine Valley hoping its not too late to save Tad and stop Jennifer.

I love Mia, she is pretty and her acting is good. What is it about her you don't like?


I agree about Maddie. They pay too much attention on her. Edmund and Maria have two children, they should both be there, not just Maddie. JMO

The reason Mia would be gone is because she has no purpose in advancing the storylines and i don't like her acting at all... Plus i would want to get the show back to the core characters; the veterans that really matter and i would get rid of any characters that don't serve any purpose or wouldn't matter, and Mia is among them.

Ray McDonnell as Dr. Joe Martin
Marcy Walker as Liza Chandler
Jennifer Bassey as Marion Chandler

Eileen Herlie as Myrtle Fargate

NEW STORYLINES:

1) As Maria slowly regains her memory, Aidan secretly turns to David to keep her memories just that -- memories. After weeks of this, Linda Monroe finds out about the drugging and reports it to Derek Frye about what he's been doing, and David and Aidan are sent to jail, where Aidan dies in a violent brawl. When David gets out of jail in summer 2004, he tells Maria to forget about Aidan, which wouldn't be hard to do because when David and Aidan were "up the river," Maria turned to Edmund for comfort after learning how desperate Aidan was to keep her from regaining her memory.

2) Tom Cudahy comes back to town after a seven year absence. He bumps into Brooke one night, and the next day they have lunch together at BJs. Brooke starts to think her head that Tom wasn't so bad afterall, and invites him to her house for a "midday desert." When they walk into the door, Phoebe is rolling herself right into the living room. Phoebe understands, and calls Myrtle to pick her up for a day of shopping to leave Brooke and Tom alone. As Tom and Brooke's attraction for each other returns, Tom proposes to Brooke in winter 2003.

3) While she and Jack are on their honeymoon in New Orleans, Erica befriends their neighbor at the hotel they are in. When the woman tells Erica that she was kicked out of the house by her husband, Erica decides to bring her back to Pine Valley, where the woman, Linda Monroe, becomes a boarder at Myrtle's house. As time progresses, Linda gets a job at Fusion, and becomes a model citizen when she finds out about David and Aidan's secret drugging of Maria and reporting it to the police. One night, Myrtle and Linda have late-night talk, and the subject of Linda's parents uprises. Linda says that her mother passed away twenty years ago, and her father left the family. Myrtle tells Linda of the slight resemblance that Linda's life has with Erica's life. Linda happens to say that her father's name was Eric Kane, and Myrtle lights up. Myrtle calls Erica and arranges a dinner date for her and Linda at the Valley Inn. When Erica and Linda discover that they have the same father, they embrace each other tightly and become the best of friends. But when Erica realizes that her father left her and Mona for Linda's mother, Erica goes into a jealous rage and slaps Linda, thus having Erica gain a new enemy.

4) Kendall is swamped with work at Fusion, and has no romance in her life with Aidan dead and Michael in jail. Just as she is closing up the warehouse for the night, she heard a familiar motorcycle hum out in the driveway. She runs to the window and sees Ryan Lavery hopping off his bike. She goes to the ground floor and meets Ryan in the doorway, where they share a long kiss, with Kendall apologizing in between. Ryan moves in with Kendall and she becomes pregnant. Sadly, Kendall miscarries after having a small fight with Lena Kundera. Kendall, who blames Lena for her child's death, confronts Lena one night in the parking lot of the Pine Cone Motel. Lena, ignores Kendall, and then becomes aggressive. The two women start another fight. Lena pulls a gun and shoots a bullet into the sky. In a struggle for the gun, Kendall kills Lena.

Whew, that's enough for right now. I'll continue tomorrow. You know, I might actually write some of these storylines as fan fictions...

Days of our Lives

Well, first order of business would be to get a GOOD headwriter, like ME!

Here's how things would go:

My first day as HW:

John and Marlena wake up on the plane. It is 1999 and the past 4 years have just been a TERRIBLE nightmare. It is the morning after their wedding and they have not landed in Hawaii yet. John and Marlena have an awesome SACRED, honeymoon. No Jope happens, no Mony happens, John doesn't become Merc John, Hope is still Gina, which means that Bo will have to save the real Hope, giving Bope fans a storyline about their love and over coming. All of the teens are gone, none of them were SORASed.
The storylines would take off from there, Stefano is still here, Viv and Ivan are still here, as are Carrie, Austin, and Mike. John and Marlena would have a lot of cute little newlywed scenes. Then they would get a storyline which is all about them working TOGETHER. Like John and Marlena decide to start up a new company, example: Basic Black. Then Jarlena get a new enemy who works along with Stefano to destory Jarlena, but not destroy their marriage, try to kill them. Then have John and Marlena risking life and limb to save one another. Sami would definitely have a storyline which would involve Lucas, ultimately ending with a Lumi pairing. Jack and Jen would come back to Salem together and get married. After a load of GREAT STORYLINES that are written COMPLETELY IN CHARACTER, Days returns to the show it once was, and the applause of the mass is heard around the world!!!!!

Say :bye: to:

All the teens.
Nicole and Brandon
Nancy and Craig
Tony DiMera (he may return in the future)

Say hello :wave: to:

Kristen Blake DiMera
Stefano DiMera
Vivian and Ivan
Carrie Brady
Austin Reed
Mike Horton
Laura Horton

"Days of Our Lives"

I would bring back Stephen Nichols as Steve "Patch" Johnson (Jack Devereaux's brother).

If any long-time viewers remember: After everyone left his funeral, two mysterious men came and removed his supposedly dead body from the grave (hence, leaving an opening to bring his character back).

I'd bring all the beloved veterans back front and center and cut back on the obscene amount of airtime all these "models" get. :rolleyes:

friendsfan77
11-13-2007, 05:18 AM
I'd have a proper amount of balance -- no characters being gone for two weeks at a time, or appearing on only once a week or every other week while others are on almost every freaking day. I'd give the veterans their fair share of airtime. Balance is one of the keys to a successful show.

I'd also make sure there is no more character assassination. No turning beloved or respected characters into manipulative bitches or evil attempted rapists, etc. No more dumbing down the characters or making them holier-than-thou or just plain destroying them in any way just for the sake of a storyline.

Also I'd make sure that more than 3 or 4 sets are used. Seeing the same few sets over and over gets real old real fast.

I'd be the head writer for B & B.
I would bring back some charactors and make some of the one's you hardly ever see be more of a regular part of the show. On any soap, they seem to draw things out way too long. When something happens, they seem to go on and on with it, dragging it out to where it eventually gets old after a while. I'd have different things going on all the time so that no one thing is being drug out for a long time or overplayed.

As the police are investigating Stephanie's shooting, things take an unexpected turn. While Donna is on her way to the hospital to once again try and get Stephanie to admit she's not the shooter, she's attacked by a mysterious woman. Eric arrives to find her unconscious in the parking lot. He runs to her, sweeping her into his arms. As he's carrying her into the hospital she regains conciousness, telling him she was attacked by a mysterious woman. Giving her a suspicous glance, she know's something's wrong and begins questioning him. Being vague about his suspecions, he brushes off her questions.
Donna becomes even more inferiorated with Stephanie, thinking she sent someone to attack her. She continues to make accusations that Stephanie had herself shot to get Eric back and now even from her hospital bed, was plotting against her, sending someone to attack her.
Stephanie denies the accusations, accusing Donna of shooting her. But, as the police begin to find clues and get even closer to uncovering this mystery, things take a drastic turn. While on her way home from the hospital one day, Donna notices a car fallowing her. Thinking it's Eric, she thinks nothing of it. But, when she arrives at home, she realizes she was wrong. As she walks up the drive, she notices someone in the bushes. She fumbles for her keys and rushes to open the door, but just as she opens the door...BANG!
Meanwhile, As Taylor begins raising her baby with Nick, she can't help but think of the baby as Brooke's and not her own. She begins questioning the situation and becomes infuriorated with Brooke, thinking Brooke had planned the whole thing to get Nick back. Brooke denies the accusations, saying she wanted Ridge back, not Nick. But, Taylor isn't convinced and tries to convince Ridge that Brooke was after Nick the whole time, and is just with him because her attempt to get Nick back had failed. This causes Ridge to question their relationship, telling Brooke she might as well go and raise the baby with Nick. As he storms out of the room, leaving Brooke in tears, the phone rings. She answers it, discovering that it's her father. As she tries to compose herself, not wanting him to know what just happened, she discovers Donna has been shot.
As she arrives at the hospital she notices a mysterious nurse learking about. It's as if the Forresters are being watched by this woman. She hovers over them as a silent listener to all that's taking place. Brooke notices and become suspicious it may be the shooter. As she turns to go after her, the nurse flees and quickly rushes out of the hospital. As Brooke returns to check on the state of her sister, she's relieved to find that she will be alright. But, when she tells everyone about the nurse, they dismiss it, thinking she's just being paranoid.
As all of this is taking place, Pheebee and Stephanie are preparing to leave for college. Pheebe has plans to go away to college, but Rick refuses to let her go. He tries to get her back, while Stephanie has made secret plans to get married. Knowing that Rick won't go for this at all she tells him she's leaving for college and instead elopes with her secret fiance. But, Pheebe finds out and tells Ridge. He and Taylor rush off to stop her, while Stephanie (Ridge's mom) has plans of her own to break off the engagement.
The Logans become convinced that Stephanie has hired someone to be the shooter. Knowing Stephanie's hatred for their entire family, they think she is plotting to distroy them. Fearing any one of them could be next in Stephanies plot, they ban together to find out just who this mysterious woman is and to put an end to Stephanie's evil schemes. As they peice the clues together and track down this woman, they are shocked to discover that she's none other then Shiela Carter! They are now left with more questions then they have answers..Did Stephanie track sheila down and send her to distroy them?...If so, why Shiela?...Are they banning together to distroy the Logans?...

"Maddie Grey"
"Colby Chandler"

DEMOTED TO RECURRING:

William deVry as Michael Cambias
Micah Alberti as Jamie Martin
Amanda Seyfried as Joni Stafford
Micheal B. Jordan as Reggie Porter
Mark Menard as Boyd Larraby
Aiden Turner as Aidan Devane

GIVEN CONTRACTS:

Crystal Bock as Lysistrata Schwartz
Lee Meriwether as Ruth Martin
Jennifer Bassey as Marion Chandler
William Christian as Derek Frye

BRING BACK:

Cameron Mathison as Ryan Lavery
Josh Duhamel as Leo duPres
Sydney Penny as Julia Santos
Richard Shoberg as Tom Cudahy

NEW CHARACTERS:

Donna Mills as Linda Monroe, Erica's long lost sister

Jill Larson as Opal Courtlandt
Julia Barr as Brooke English
Lee Meriwether as Ruth Martin
Ray McDonnell as Dr. Joe Martin
Marcy Walker as Liza Chandler
Jennifer Bassey as Marion Chandler
Ruth Warrick as Phoebe Tyler Wallingford (it seems unfair that she's on contract but they treat her like a recurring star)
Eileen Herlie as Myrtle Fargate

NEW STORYLINES:

1) As Maria slowly regains her memory, Aidan secretly turns to David to keep her memories just that -- memories. After weeks of this, Linda Monroe finds out about the drugging and reports it to Derek Frye about what he's been doing, and David and Aidan are sent to jail, where Aidan dies in a violent brawl. When David gets out of jail in summer 2004, he tells Maria to forget about Aidan, which wouldn't be hard to do because when David and Aidan were "up the river," Maria turned to Edmund for comfort after learning how desperate Aidan was to keep her from regaining her memory.

2) Tom Cudahy comes back to town after a seven year absence. He bumps into Brooke one night, and the next day they have lunch together at BJs. Brooke starts to think her head that Tom wasn't so bad afterall, and invites him to her house for a "midday desert." When they walk into the door, Phoebe is rolling herself right into the living room. Phoebe understands, and calls Myrtle to pick her up for a day of shopping to leave Brooke and Tom alone. As Tom and Brooke's attraction for each other returns, Tom proposes to Brooke in winter 2003.

3) While she and Jack are on their honeymoon in New Orleans, Erica befriends their neighbor at the hotel they are in. When the woman tells Erica that she was kicked out of the house by her husband, Erica decides to bring her back to Pine Valley, where the woman, Linda Monroe, becomes a boarder at Myrtle's house. As time progresses, Linda gets a job at Fusion, and becomes a model citizen when she finds out about David and Aidan's secret drugging of Maria and reporting it to the police. One night, Myrtle and Linda have late-night talk, and the subject of Linda's parents uprises. Linda says that her mother passed away twenty years ago, and her father left the family. Myrtle tells Linda of the slight resemblance that Linda's life has with Erica's life. Linda happens to say that her father's name was Eric Kane, and Myrtle lights up. Myrtle calls Erica and arranges a dinner date for her and Linda at the Valley Inn. When Erica and Linda discover that they have the same father, they embrace each other tightly and become the best of friends. But when Erica realizes that her father left her and Mona for Linda's mother, Erica goes into a jealous rage and slaps Linda, thus having Erica gain a new enemy.

4) Kendall is swamped with work at Fusion, and has no romance in her life with Aidan dead and Michael in jail. Just as she is closing up the warehouse for the night, she heard a familiar motorcycle hum out in the driveway. She runs to the window and sees Ryan Lavery hopping off his bike. She goes to the ground floor and meets Ryan in the doorway, where they share a long kiss, with Kendall apologizing in between. Ryan moves in with Kendall and she becomes pregnant.

Whew, that's enough for right now. I'll continue tomorrow. You know, I might actually write some of these storylines as fan fictions...
Let me add to AMC:

The return of Greg and Jenny. Jenny Gardner never was killed. If you aren't familiar with these characters, they are from the 80's.

The return of Angie and Jessie Hubbard. Jessie never gets killed either.

I'd love to see Tom Cudahy return. What a doll he was.

Tom and Brooke remain a married couple.

Liza Colby, she was so mean...but what a character she was. ;)

Yeah, she was on a jet ski that blew up. Some kind of bomb that was planted on the jet ski so that Greg would be the one to die, not Jenny. Jenny later died in the hospital from her injuries. The person responsible is the model guy she was set to marry, out of pity, not love. He seeked revenge on Greg but killed her instead.

Jessie was shot. He was working with the police and he was killed by a criminal.

Ah yes, Tony Barclay. Thanx sweetie for reminding me of his name. I couldn't remember it. God, those were the AMC days for sure.

Oh you are sick...:rofl: Poor Brooke. His alcoholism did add dramatics to the show, that's for sure. I loved them as a couple and they should have remained a couple forever!!! :(

I remember the whole beginning of the Adam Chandler/Stewart Chandler storyline. I kept wondering, what the hell is in that attic? What is the big secret?

Also, Palmer Cortlandt and that whole storyline. The maid (what was her name) was so damn creepy.

Tom found happiness with Livia Frye - attorney at law.

I thought for months that it was some sort of deformed monster in the Chandler attic with the way they were playing it out - when it was finally revealed I was like "man that's just David Canary in a dual role" lol I thought maybe the evil rapist Ray Gardner had come back from the dead and was in the attic making more bombs lol

Palmer's maid was Myra Murdock. . . who was revealed to be Daisy's mother and Nina's grandmother! lol

No particular details but if I were in charge of Days of Our Lives, I would:
1) Get rid of most of the teens, most of them these days are pointless.
2) Re-hire Drake Hogestyn.
3) Finally reveal who John Black's father is.
4) Let "all" the veterans have their own storyline.
5) Reveal and learn more about Kate Roberts and her sordid past.
6) Belle Black would finally choose which man she wants, Phillip or Shawn.
7) Bring back the real drama, the romance and adventure.

General Hospital

1. De-Mob The Show; get rid of the mob elements of the series. Would start by having Sonny killed (once and for all) in a dramatic, music montage filled shoot out. This would leave Jason to take over his empire but he would very quickly grow tired of this lifestyle and decide to stop living that life and so he goes to turn state's evidance against all of the mobsters in town. Before he can tesitfy he is shot and killed. Once the mob element is gone i would get rid of Carly who would decide to move out of PC after sonny and jason die. She and Jax would take the kids and leave town happily.

2. Re-Focus on the hospital: I would re-hire Rachel Ames (Audrey), Shell Kelper (Amy Vining, RN), Denise Alexander (Lesley Webber) , Felicia Bell (Simone Hardy), Matthew Ashford (Tom Hardy) and would give back a contract to Jacklyn Zeamen (Nurse Bobbie Jones) and Rick Springfield (Noah Drake) all of whom would be centeral figures in the hospital scene. Nurse Epiphany would be fired and Bobbie would resume duties as Head Nurse.

3. Re-Instate The Core Famalies: The Webbers, Spencers, Scorpios, Quatermaines, Cassidines and Hardy's. In addition to the veterans i mentioned above i'd rehire Kristina Wagner (Felicia), Lynn Herring (Lucy), Jon Lindstorm (Kevin), Genie Francis (Laura), Finola Hughes (Anna), Tristan Rogers (Robert), Wally Kurth (Ned), Stephen Kay (Reginald, The Butler) and reinstate contracts for Constance Towers (Helena), and John J. York (Mac) and the show would start to revolve around core famalies and their involvment at the hospital.
