Well, Art new "the art" of providing entertainment and perhaps being the "drama queen". The whole thing is creepy w/HW being there when "the firecrackers" went off and the police were involved. Obviously, we were being deceived on many levels about HW's involvement there, living there, and how/why she was "the chosen one".
The show format is solid gold, and that's what should have remained after HW's departure. Was Art really happy with HW's performance near his Friday the 13th?
Maybe Producer Michelle can fill us in on the details? Was HW deeply in love with AB beyond a mentor/friend relationship? Obviously, AB put a lot of trust in HW by selling her part of his property including his studio. He would never do that if he didn't trust her on some levels that must go very deep indeed.
Art Bell was not naive about intimate relationships with women, since he obviously had a lot of life experiences with women by that time.
You keep asking questions that are not ever going to be answered. Heather would be the one to provide those answers, but even when she does give answers (which I doubt she would for most of the questions you are asking) the veracity of the answers would be pretty suspect based on her history. And I'm really not sure why you think that Michelle would have the answers to most of those questions you wanted answered. I don't think they have ever even met.
If you look at what Art had been posting on his Facebook account including the last post re HW on April 3rd he was posting that he was "very proud of her work and determination". So, yes, I guess he was still happy with her ten days later.
I don't agree that the show format is solid gold. Nope. It was the combination of Art's talent as an interviewer and broadcaster, the show's format, and to a lesser degree, the years that Art did the show. I think he had a definite peak. I would argue that some of his later shows were not as good as his peak in the 90's and early 2000's. Times have changed and where years ago the paranormal was new, fresh, and intriguing, many people are now jaded, and skeptical. The show's format in the hands of a lesser skilled host and in these times can be long, boring, and totally unbelievable. There were times years back with Art when certain guests may have been unbelievable, but the story was entertaining and fun, and kept my attention for 4-5 hours. I also think Art got a little bit like a curmudgeon towards the end of his career. Always complaining about the phones and cutting callers off.
