one life to live: a year of days, 2007

Another year of improbable storylines, gaping plot holes, over-the-top acting and days that last for weeks.

Strange time discontinuities are par for the course on soaps, but the last couple months of last year were particularly bad. I've heard that they film episodes three weeks before the air dates. And strangely enough, the crazy time problems started almost exactly three weeks after the writers strike began. I wonder if the writers are involved in editing the episodes together coherently? That would explain problems like it being simultaneously early morning in Texas and late night in Ireland. Or a character driving from New Orleans to Paris TX in the time it takes another character to go to the grocery store. Or the episode where it was explicitly the same day in Texas but a new day in Pennsylvania. (Did they relocate the international date line when I wasn't looking?)

When the strike started, I heard that the ABC soaps all had enough scripts to get them through January. Well, it's January, and I wonder what they're going to do? Have they hired scabs? Are the producers doing the writing? Are they allowed to do that? I tried to find out online but I'm 100% spoiler free which means I have to avoid any soap site with any actual information.
