	General Hospital St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		When ratings hit rock bottom in 1977 and ABC was considering canceling the program, a last ditch effort at resuscitation brought in writer Douglas Marland, who had created a number of highly successful, youthful storylines on The Doctors, and Gloria Monty,; who had directed Secret Storm, as the new producer.
		Marland created a new storyline centered on 15-year-old Laura Vining (Genie Francis), a previously peripheral character, and her relationship with Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner).
		When Laura killed a taunting older lover in a rage and allowed her self-sacrificing mother to take the blame, the show's ratings really took off, bringing in a younger audience who became particularly hooked on the unfolding tragedy of the mother and daughter.

		Irna Phillips (and Doug Marland) knew that you could expand a 15 minute soap into 30 minutes and keep it captivating by just showing the interaction of characters and their relationships.

	Classic TV & Movie Hits - Loving/The City
		It was co-created by Agnes Nixon and Douglas Marland, two noted figures in daytime television in the US.
		But Marland and Nixon left the series after a few years and in spite of ABC bumping down Ryan's Hope to give Loving a choice timeslot, and cast additions of such popular All My Children stars as Debbi Morgan (Angie) and Jean Leclerc (Jeremy), the ratings remained poor throughout the show's run.
		Loving, dubbed "the little show that could" by viewers, suffered from a constant revolving door of writers and producers, leading to questionable story moments such as a heroine's addiction to cough syrup and one character selling his soul to the Devil.

		Among them, “write for the characters the audience wants to see.” He doesn’t care about the revolving door of new head writers, executive producers and network presidents who may disagree, who may even question why a particular beloved character is still around.

	AS THE WORLD TURNS \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		Much of the improvement came with the addition of Douglas Marland, who used the show’s long history and rich characters to create new and involving storylines that brought in new viewers while satisfying veteran “World” fans.
		(Marland also brought the show the first-ever gay male character in daytime drama, but introduced controversial storylines without moralistic preaching or obvious “relevance”–no “very special episodes”here.)
		But in 1993, Marland died of an aneurysm; his expanded plots and cast were cut by a new writing team–the result was another decline in both critical acclaim and audience numbers.

		Eventually, after the show lost Irna Phillips from its backstage team, the soap went through a cavalcade of writers, including Agnes Nixon, Douglas Marland, and Jerome and Bridget Dobson.
		Each writer brought their own unique elements to the show, including such core families as the Spauldings, Marlers and Thorpes, but it was with Marland's arrival that the soap received critical acclaim and numerous Emmy Awards.
		As years passed, the core Bauer family slowly disappeared from the canvas, and a younger cast was brought in to the show.

		They both felt it was inaccurate and out of character (probably even more so after the poorly written scene after Phillip first found out about Rick and Harley, leading to Harley tumbling onto the floor) and they tore it up and wrote the dialogue themselves.
		What transpired was the best historically and characteristically accurate dialogue since Marland's death IMO, proving actors know their characters well and could write their dialogue themselves.
		In fact, on ATWT, for awhile, one of the actors did write the dialogue herself, Marie Masters.

		It was good to see Lisa portray Iva, as it gave viewers a chance to see her range as an actress, but what she created as Nola from 1980-1985 was about more than range.
		Actually, the characters of Quinton, Nola and their romance transcended and did not fit the standard soap format at all, which is probably why anyone after Marland had a difficult to impossible time grasping what to do with them.
		Whatever the case, she will ALWAYS be remembered as the auburn-haired, spirited, romantic, dreaming Nola with her trademark sighs, quivering lip and girlish ways.
