[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 392587, member: 27"] Harding Lemay, Head Writer of [I]Another World[/I], was in the beginning stages of burnout when Paul Rauch and NBC foisted a second soap on him ([I]Lovers and Friends[/I]). It was definitely a case of "killing the goose that laid the golden egg." Even after Lemay pushed the second soap away (others took on the majority of the writing, and he did little to correct their lackluster work) his AW writings started to suffer. They then expanded AW to 90 minutes per day (!!) and it was enough to break any writer (or at least any GOOD writer). I think Lemay would have ended up leaving AW anyway, but forcing a second set of characters on him at that point hastened his end at AW. Maybe his tell-all book would have instead been called [I][B]Nine[/B] Years in Another World[/I]. Still, it's rare to see anything concerning L&F or its spin-off/retooling effort (FRFP), so these are interesting finds. [/QUOTE]
