I don't think it ever got as far as the script phase. And as well as being the golden age of nighttime soaps, it was also the golden age of reviving TV shows as a series of made-for-TV movies (think Perry Mason, Gilligan's Island, etc) and I believe Young wanted to go the series of movies route. But who knows what might have happened had Return to Collinwood actually been produced...
Three interesting bits:
- Frid was adamant that hoDS be treated as if it didn't exist and a Return to Collinwood film had to somehow pick up from the daytime show.
- What Young planned was to pick up the story from the end of Leviathans.
- And he also wanted to do a flashback to the '20s that would somehow involve Quentin (sound like something that actually was done by a certain someone?).
