" It’s just now every time I get a script, I can’t wait to get to the next one, and they make sense, and so I don’t have to change anything. "

Nice to know we can blame Mo along with Guza for Sonny.

MB: Right! Can you imagine if we had a good lead-in?
Me: Uh...yeah. In fact, I don't even have to imagine it; I lived it.

Sheesh. I've never had anything against MB, but he comes off as kind of a self-involved dick. And apparently a writer, since he took it upon himself to change his scripts. Perhaps we've found the source of the problem?

I was a little shocked that he made that statement and also thought it showed just how much power he's had with the previous writers headed by Guza. I guess that comes from years of being front and center to the detriment of every other actor and storyline. MB needs a rest and so do we. Maddie

Sounds like he forgot all about OLTL. Luna

Sounds like he's a tad full of himself, ''right?'' (he says ''right'' quite a bit). I thought that Maurice had no choice but to speak the horrible words the writers gave to him and now I find out that he's the one who interjected his thoughts into the script at times. I'm surprised that he has that kind of power with the writers. I didn't think the actors could do that which means the writers thought Maurice had great ideas..... Luna

Over the years, I have had many great ideas for Sonny's death scene. All of mine would have been final and onscreen. dd

I've been happy visualizing him in a teeny, very tiny cell with no windows for the rest of his miserable life. Luna
