Quoting limited to 4 levels deepWTH, is going to campaign for to save a character they may not be a fan of..thats on their fans to do
Supporting Duke and DnA cause as long as he's with Anna Holly wins Robert by default. Some of the biggest Anna haters on the web are tooting DnA it's hilarious! :lol:
You're ridiculous ;sleep;
:score

I hope so. However this regime is pretty vindictive. RC on Twitter is not a nice guy when he is challenged or ridiculed. He had deleted a post again the other day about Duke saying "we should be grateful" he was brought back at all. He had already said that last year, when IB was missing for 3 months.
People really need to stop antagonizing that guy. He did bring back some vets that the other regime totally forgot about such as Lucy/Duke/Kevin etc, etc...I think RC is too thinskinned to be on twitter but when he said vets such as Duke would've never been brought back at all if not for them is kinda true. The other regime didn't give Duke or Lucy a 2nd thought.
Yes, but Duke was dead. I would argue that he was better off left dead. He and D&A would've been remembered better and the new viewers wouldn't think so negatively. So this regime didn't really do the character of his fans any favors.
YEP :'( ;fcp

I'll give you RC's writing for DnA wasn't the best but the actors didn't really bring much to the couple either. So, if RC had given them more, they still would've been flat to some people because the actors doesn't have that kind of chemistry with each other anymore. When newbies say Anna had more spark with than Duke then there's something seriously wrong.
So true on the actors chemistry. Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan are as close as family too IRL but they still brought the spark and chemistry as romantic lovers as Jesse/Angie and they still kissed so passionately... Not sure what happen with Fin/Ian in that dept.

I think by 1979/1980, P&G were looking to at the amazing numbers the ABC soaps, especially GH, were doing and looked to leverage some of that formula, with more simplistic and OTT plots, comedic characters, action/adventure, and the focus on young, pretty actors. At that time point, I don't think TPTB were interested on focusing on the more complex characters that the Dobsons had written for and/or introduced.
Say what you want about the 80s but soaps reached crowds of people in every demo that they will never ever duplicate again. GH, DOOL and AMC had FEMALE HWs that cared.

Well, that doesn't give much info about Duke. What story is headed in another direction? Anna? The mob?

That's industry code for: We don't know what to do with him, he's not geling anywhere and we don't care enough to try anymore.

Duke hasn't had a story since Faison.

Simple, they're taken Anna in another direction (Sloane) and Duke isn't needed.
