They may have taped PEG's "future" scenes ahead of time. They don't write scripts or tape scenes in sequence a lot of times. I notice Emily's not featured with Paul in Susan Dansby's script either. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. :)kathylulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392591130584887804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-19104564668209062182010-04-12T07:41:13.854-04:002010-04-12T07:41:13.854-04:00Thanks for the update, Richard.

I heard a couple of weeks ago they were both out but with the timing of the exits not sure what's happening now. <br /><br />Chuck, I can't agree about crossovers from other soaps. As a longtime P&G fan, I totally get where you're coming from but ATWT has so much history still intact, I really want the actors on this show to be honored. Now last year there was two weeks between GL's ending and Let's Make a Deal. Would love two weeks of former P&G soap characters updated in a where are they now mini-soap or something like that. I just want to see Nancy, Bob, Lisa, Kim, Susan, JOHN, etc get their due. Now if Sky Whitney or a character like that moved to town and became Lisa's final husband, maybe I could deal!Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-15596588015242169172010-04-12T07:35:38.372-04:002010-04-12T07:35:38.372-04:00Bad news for Kathylul: Susan Dansby, a writer for ...Bad news for Kathylul: Susan Dansby, a writer for the show, says the script she's writing this week (which wouldn't be taped for a few more weeks, well after MW's last day), will feature "Katie, Chris, Henry, Vienna, Barbara, Paul, Casey, Alison."

Many of you have great suggestions... I agree that Nancy Hughes MUST be the final scene of the show. I'd also like to see Grant Colman return to have scenes with Lisa. I wonder if they should have Don Hughes die since the actor passed away .... as a way of bringing lots of old characters back to comfort Nancy (great way to bring back Ellen, Annie, Dee, Penny, Carol Stallings, Grant, etc). I remember when I got hooked on the show as a kid... I have a memory of Annie walking outside a building into a construction zone and got hit in the head and Jay Stallings was there... and Annie was in a coma with Ellen keeping a vigil.... gosh this must have been 1976-77? Also remember a nurse named Pat Holland who was helping John Dixon try to kidnap baby Andy if I recall. Loved the show in the 70's. Such a classic.Jack661https://www.blogger.com/profile/13397494811433138393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-14381144298115956762010-04-11T21:14:52.343-04:002010-04-11T21:14:52.343-04:00All the news is much appreciated!

Cause I find Holden so much more interesting with her than Lily.<br /><br />Also, what are the chances we'll see some diversity before the show ends? The uniform look of the canvas is a sore point, IMO.<br /><br />Last questions... who is currently writing the show? Is it still Kreizman?

This is not just the end of "AS THE WORLD TURNS", but rather the end of the entire P&G universe. All your favorite shows will now officially be gone and their characters never to be seen again. <br /><br />One of the last scenes of AW featured characters declaring that they would reunite again. Perhaps we could be treated to a day in Bay City one last time?<br /><br />How about a visit from Sunny Adamson? She's a journalist and could easily have a good reason to visit Oakdale. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be interesting to see Lucinda deciding to retire and sell Worldwide and the bidders that show up include Sky Whitney, Robert Delaney, and Phillip Spaulding?<br /><br />I am sure that much discussion and debate will occur as the time winds down as to what the "perfect" ending should be. No matter what you may wish, I can assure you that as the world turns, there will be death, birth, success, tragedy, and love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-84683207123153769232010-04-11T17:00:53.693-04:002010-04-11T17:00:53.693-04:00I so agree about Martha.

If I heard anything, will post it. But after the past several years, surely we'll get some type of resolution with both. I know it may not satisfy everyone but the writers are making great money to come up with something!<br /><br />Andy's Animals, I thought about a Casey/Ali wedding too as something near the end that would at least encompass the Hughes family, the Lowells, would bring Ellen back (if there is any justice in this WORLD), and could pull in other characters as well. We all know Ali sleeps with someone else the night before her weddings but maybe she can get it right this time.<br /><br />Eric, Martha and Jon had amazing chemistry. I remember rooting for Lily and Dusty back in the day and it took me a while to warm up to Holden (despite his epic 80s hotness). And every time they split, I said I didn't want them back together. But once Martha and Jon were in a room together looking at each other, I got reeled back in.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-78996921115214451862010-04-11T11:28:23.131-04:002010-04-11T11:28:23.131-04:00Noelle Beck is a good actress yes. I would have lo...Noelle Beck is a good actress yes. I would have loved her as Ellie Snyder. As Lily her presence made it possible for the writers to write the character as someone one dimensional. The "death" of Lily's soul mate Holden and her breif greiving period would never have worked with Martha. There was too much there with the actors in terms of chemistry and history. They would have had to either write a better story or ruin Martha's Lily. I don't feel John Hensley and Noelle Beck burning for their characters to reunite and as such I don't care if they do or not. And that's hard to type as a 17 year or so Lily/Holden fan. In the hands of the current writers I feel like my beloved characters are much safer off screen. I would love them to get together tomorrow and leave town fast. I'd rather see Luke interact with Lucinda and Emma now. If the final ATWT follows Lily and Holden as the Josh & Reva couple without Martha Byrne that would be devastating for me. A complete waste of time. I'd rather watch Barbara and Henry than that. <br /><br />For me John & Andy need to return. The last minute is too late. The last minute is ok for Penny and Ellen who should be back at the end but John and Andy should be back now intertacting with Kim, Margo and Lucinda.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390876954490682061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-14407026510852460042010-04-11T11:28:18.173-04:002010-04-11T11:28:18.173-04:00I completely agree about being uninterested in a H...I completely agree about being uninterested in a Holden/Lily pairing with Noelle Beck as Lily. She is a perfectly competent actress. I don't think there could've been a better choice for the re-cast. However, she's just not Lily to me. Lily has become so whiny under her reign and I just want to see her single. Holden and Molly are hot hot HOT together and would be a perfectly acceptable fi al pairing for me. <br /><br />Even though I am a gay male, I find Luke and Noah to be an uninteresting couple. Luke and Reid, however, are lighting the screen on fire for me and would love to see them make a go of it. Let Noah go off to Hollywood and become a director.<br /><br />Glad to hear Meg and Paul will be gone early. I've never liked either character (that's untrue actually. I loved Paul when played by the actor paired with Byrne's Rose). <br /><br />I'm looking forward to the Lisa celebration and seeing a happy ending for Jack and Carly. I would love to see Craig redeemed and with Ro (although I'm sure it won't happen). And let's get Lucinda some kind of storyline before the show is over!<br /><br />And I know I am in the minority, but I have always been behind Casey and Allison and want a marriage for them. <br /><br />Roger makes a great point re: Rocco, Liberty, Gabriel, etc. I'm nervous that the current writing/producing team is going to wrap up the show. I don't trust them to do it justice. Here's hoping I am proven wrong.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758823074657457800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-67615078693717587612010-04-11T11:13:00.301-04:002010-04-11T11:13:00.301-04:00Roger, do you know if Roger and Kelley are going t...Roger, do you know if Roger and Kelley are going to get more airtime and more of a story with Paul/Emily and Eliza?Jaleesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423260775993197001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-47905431424969176552010-04-11T10:34:17.918-04:002010-04-11T10:34:17.918-04:00thank you Roger.
