It happened to me too. I was unable to edit a post. There are a number of Roger and Adam scenes on Youtube in the 1979 episodes and in Adam's brief 1994 return. The ClassicGL channel has some individual scenes. Here's one. I also found this conversation with Lillian and Adam. They never crossed paths onscreen before but I suppose we were meant to believe Lillian had been working as a nurse at Cedars for years before we first saw her. Does anyone remember? I wonder if they were considering bringing him back to be paired with Lillian, unless this is just yet another example in this era of having to find some justification for putting Lillian in a scene.

This is on Youtube. I posted it a few times but I know there are a lot of pages. It just shows a few glimpses up to the rape story, focusing on Roger/Holly/Ed and Roger/Peggy breaking up. These clips were from Zaslow and Garrett themselves, I believe.

Rosenthal is a mock film critic for The Onion. He's done "reviews" for a decade or so - the only thing left from when they had much more video content. I go in and out. I watched more of the early seasons.

I always enjoy seeing Peter Rosenthal's reviews...never quite thought I'd see him like this.

I could see that too, although she may not have had the right humor (ironic as she was on a sketch comedy show).

She would have been a good Elizabeth Spaulding recast.

It makes me think of when Jake raped Marley, which is two years away.

Wow. Never knew that. Fascinating. I always just picture Risley fading away after her unfortunate SNL stint. The Doctors and SNL taped in the same building. I used to have a scan somewhere of Burt Reynolds posing with James Pritchett on the SNL stage during Burt's (terrible) hosting gig - Burt's mother was a big Doctors fan.

The end of this promo is chilling, all the more so as it was not intended.

Kassie DePaiva Reflects on 'One Life to Live's Cancellation & Todd and Blair’s Ending (Exclusive) Kassie mentions that she auditioned for Amanda on Another World in 1993.

Has Lucas ever been a gangster? I do think Carnes' Lucas would have been more stoic. They can't help writing for Van's weaker moments. Rosemary Sinclair, played by Linda Thorson, who was supposedly a handful backstage.

Thanks for the Kassie interview @dragonflies. I didn't know she had auditioned for Amanda Cory. She would have been a good choice. @Marco Dane Hard to believe it's 57 years as the show still seems more modern. Then again that's the OLTL of my mind more than what the actual show often was. I still wish it was around. Thanks @Maxim. Andrew and Cassie do seem sudden. They have their moments, although they were never a favorite pairing of mine. I think Andrew would have been more compelling with someone very different to him. I had no idea of Herb throttling Alex, or I just watched those clips a very long time ago. A sad end to an underrated character. The Blair clip is great. You can feel the chemistry with Mia and JDP, even if I think Blair was better off without Max. I did laugh at Max, who clearly wanted to bone Blair, taking his chance to do so after she expressed some sympathy over his friend dying.

You're right, although at least they haven't gone as far as Emmerdale did, where producers allegedly disliked a recently written out actress so much that they had one of the characters dig up her coffin and send it to the crusher.

AMC starting from 57 minutes to an hour and 3 minutes. @slick jones this has another cast crawl. An hour and 7 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. 59 minutes to an hour and six minutes (this also has a cast crawl)

Breen was at ATWT at that time.

The year is off (this is 1987 or 1988). This is interesting to watch for how deftly Tristan Rogers goes through all the responses of the devoted Robert and Anna fans. And always fun to hear from passionate fans (even if as always soap fans are a little too passionate at times).

I love that at the start of this Emma makes sure to clarify that Holly and Luke are not together now. She was already thinking of Twitter fan reactions before there was a Twitter. She also talks more than I expected about that gross old story with Tony Geary doing bed scenes nude. I'm glad to know he at least asked permission first. There were claims of one actress, I think on AMC, who may or may not have liked to "surprise" co-stars with this. Don't really love the line at the start that the only people who care about soaps are homemakers or out of work actors, but that's typical of the soap awards shows to trash themselves. Some nice interviews with the cast about Gloria Monty. This may also be the most de-glammed I've seen Judith Chapman.

Thanks @Maxim I hate those arm-grabbing moments with men and women on soaps. There are so many, especially with characters we are meant to find "good." Way too many on AMC... I am very impressed with the writing for Viki in that scene with Blair. The way she shuts Cain down. The way she clearly has no use for the woman, but she can see said woman is in clear pain. This just makes the choice even more damning for Blair - viewers can see that she is willingly walking into hell. What a performance from Mia Korf. Even just in that mournful sax portion (the days of the little bird music cue dead and buried). Regarding Alex...unfortunately this is going to be the norm in writing for her, although some stories work better than others. This one is a road to nowhere. Wanda is a dear. One of the best of this type of character ever on soaps.

@alwaysAMC I listened to some of that, and both laughed and felt disturbed all over again at the prevalence of AI in everything now. The male voice actually says "slight pause" at 21 minutes. The female voice seems to just be there to flame the hell out of McTavish, entertaining as that may be. I've seen a lot of these videos cropping up and hadn't clicked on them. I wonder if they are all AI. Can't wait to see them take on Golden Windows! (and AI voice, McTavish's 1999 firing was not her third) I know that is a thing now because of tiktok bans and maybe Youtube bans now but I hate hearing "unalive."

Sad to think this would be a very controversial ad now.

I preferred the first Vicky as she was colder and more suited to a Spaulding temperament. Platt was OK but they never did anything with her. Through Rauch's whole run he would give token stories to black characters and nothing more - the most painfully token material imaginable on GL. I am never sure whether he wanted more and P&G stopped him, but ATWT and even AW had more in those years. It bothered me a lot with Vicky as the "black Spaulding" story should have been much more than it was. The scenes with Alex and Brandon were around November 1984, I think. I think Platt divorced Tilford a few years ago.

I think Ruth said she had played Phoebe as a bubblehead when it came to her comments about the Vietnam War. It was Phoebe's views on Vietnam that Ruth did not feel comfortable playing.

It might have been somewhere along the lines of Four Corners, that Ann Margret show which ran for two weeks.

@alwaysAMC I remember those Roger and Holly elevator scenes. Another example of some of the quality from the interim headwriters, even if it wasn't evident elsewhere. The scenes surrounding the Blake paternity reveal are very powerful and yet also understated. A wonderful reminder of just how good Jerry ver Dorn was and a real kick in the seat the show needed.
