There are many creative and innovative people on the current writing teams, but they don't get a chance to spin powerful stories given the restrictions at the upper levels. <br /><br />Mr. Lemay was given a LOT of freedom by NBC and P&G to tell stories. In his own words, that would never happen now. My hope is that internet soaps will provide a creative forum for writers to return to power and tell these kinds of wonderful stories again.Damon L.

Where are the Mr. Lemays of the present day when it comes to realistic daytime drama with character development and great acting talent? Another World could still be on the air if the successful formula Mr. Lemay put in place was allowed to continue.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699604771827831586noreply@blogger.com
