Paul Stoddard in Art Wallace's Original Story Bible - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The last section of Art Wallace's DS bible (titled "Shadows on the Wall") had Paul Stoddard originally returning to Collinwood sometime after the Laura Collins storyline ended (she was to have originally been murdered with Vicky on trial as ner murderer). Note: Roger was already killed off at this point.

Paul was to return to Collinwood to escape "the forces that pursue him." There was no more explanation given. Interesting that the writers did use this idea, though not what Art Wallace originally intended for him.

I think it would've been interesting if they went by the Wallace story bible. From the way the bible goes, it seems he concieved DS as more of a mystery show, ala The Edge of Night, with gothic elements added in. It would've been interesting to see the Laura Collins murder trial, the marriage of Joe and Carolyn, and the Paul Stoddard story as they were in the bible.
