Today was the release of One Day at a Time's 350th episode - 350! I almost can't believe it myself. When I first brought ODaaT to the web, back in 2002, I never believed it would carry out as long as it has, especially since I did take a lengthy hiatus. I've said this before in previous milestone moments, but one of the things I am most proud of with ODaaT is the fact that I have been super consistent with my release schedule since I brought the series back in 2009. The first episode was #53. 7 years later, and i'm at 350! I typically don't do anything "special" for these "50" episodes (150, 250, 350) because I've always felt like the bigger milestone are the 100, 200, 300, 400, etc episodes. But, I did want to touch on this in a blog!
Some of my highlights during the last 350 episodes are:
- Cassie Nova. She is still my favorite character that I have had on ODaaT because she is just so crazy that anything can do. The last arch with her taking over Helen's life and holding Helen and Natasha hostage then ending up pregnant with Adam's baby is still one of my faves. Everything just clicked so beautifully.
- The Andy/Reese love story and the tragic ending. Andy and Reese were not in my initial writings of ODaaT (back in the early 90's when I wrote it on paper), but these two were soulmates and the tragic ending of their story is still something I am very proud of.
= The Lake Tahoe arch from last summer. There was so much going on in this storyline, from Robbie/Victoria getting engaged to Leah and Jeff getting married before a crazed Felicia kidnapped her to the explosion that killed Leah. It was fun soapy goodness that had a huge twist in it and it changed the direction of the storyline. I also love taking the series on "locations"!
I suppose I should add in some of my "low lights", but I think I will pass. There's been so much negativity lately - I'm choosing to put out positive engergy in the world and hope that it is reciprocated!
