Felicia Minei Behr's run was a disaster in stories starting after the god awful John Valente, Sterns & Black period. All the newbies Paul, Zoe, bs, arriving in Oakdale populating the canvas, vets literally pushed aside, had went through, Jessica Klein and series of temps ATWT was stable,we lost Liz Hubert, her last few months as EP, P&G (MADD) brought in Lorraine Broarick, Hal Corley, Addie Walsh as head writer and things got much better, Tom was having affair with Emily, Carly's hit and Run, John and Barbara was seeing each other, Molly seeing David, you had (ATWT's Annie) Julia & Jack, John was heavily involved all the stories from Carly, Hal. She also had some ok stories but moving in the right direction then we get CG and LL...CG should kept LB & team with Carolyn C, to finish because they were showing and establishing good storylines for the vets again. We then move into Hogan's era.
