So I always thought Wes Kenney started in early '87, didn't know about RnH and screwed up Robert's return/Holly's death ... later figured it out and repented. But, according to Wikipedia, Gloria Monty was EP until October 1987 ... which would make the screw-up under her watch and the fixing it under Kenney's (depending on when in October she left because Robert gets that letter in October 1987). Does anybody know if those dates are right? If so, why would GM want to destroy her own "lightning in a bottle?"

Hmmm......I really don't think Gloria Monty was the EP at the time. I think it was Wes Kenney. I honestly can't see Gloria Monty making Holly an afterthought.....which is exactly what Holly was in 1987....until Kenney corrected it.

I did a little more searching, according to this article, Kenney was there by July, 1987, but not sure how long he'd been around before that ... www.scorpiofiles.com/articles/searchduke.html |

GM was definitely gone then. I remember that when Kenney took over it was like this immediate thing of Tanya getting killed, Jake sleeping with Lucy---I was hating it instantly---and then Robert came back and acted like Holly was nobody.
Kenney is definitely responsible for the mishandling of Holly's death which is why he publicly apologized for that specifically in one of the magazines.

Do you think GM left around the time TR did, after Mr. Big? The show was just weird that Winter/Spring ... revisiting Laurelton, that horrid "Secret of L'Orlean", Camelia, Corey ... those kids Bobbie and Jake took in ... ugh. It did get better with the summer adventures, but wow did that year get off to a rocky start. |

I think that was probably her last big story. It was a weird time---especially for me. It was hard to have lost Robert and Holly and since I didn't like Anna---it was a bitter pill to swallow to have her take over as the "new" Robert----but thank goodness for Duke ! He made it all OK for me ! |

I can't remember that at all. It could possibly be that it was Kenney. I don't recall for sure when in 1987 he started. Does anyone know when Tania was killed off because I am pretty sure that was right around the start of Kenney's time. |

I totally remember Wes Kenney being the EP when Tania was hit by a car because suddenly the storyline was so sloooooooooooooow. I remember Frisco talking on the phone describing a Saab. At the time, I didn't really know what a Saab was but Frisco kept going on about it and I was thinking for the first time in my GH viewing life that GH was booooooooooooooring! Wes Kenney was definitely the new EP.

And the kid -- Corey -- that hit her turned out to be a major dud of a character!

When Tristan returned in the spring of 1987 Gloria Monty was already gone.

This might not be the best place for this...but I couldn't think of any better. He died on January 13th from a heart attack he had on Christmas Eve. I didn't like much of his work on GH...though correcting his mistake about Holly was important to me. But his work on Y&R and especially DOOL was outstanding. daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/9218083/1/#new |
