Good catch.

Was the character dynamic or was the performer? Recasting Michael and giving him a bit of agency made him more dynamic, for a while at least, but the many connections Michael has also helped. Spencer has his share of connections, but they are all more fraught for the show. As @Vee said, Sprina is a likely no-go, and then you get to the broken down state of the Cassadines, now mostly Alexis. And you have Laura, who at least got to blast Liesl recently after doing the usual Laura enabling of recent years, but how long before Laura is just used as a reason to bring back Esme and coddle her some more?

Meghan Markle is in the thumbnail and pilot. Oh I see this was written by Chuck Pratt. If it had been picked up he never would have trashed AMC.

The main way I can remember is because of Lemay criticizing Val Dufour for ruining Susan Sullivan's big moment (never mind that it was Dufour's last moment on the show).

Thank you too @jam6242

Thanks @slick jones I never would have known of Raver or Peters passing without your post. I wonder if Raver had any ties to anyone at Y&R - seems like all her soap work was through them.

@Ryanc2 Thanks for the podcast summaries. It definitely sounds very interesting. I never understood why the show didn't do more with having a hot model playing Reese. At least he had fun backstage... This clip didn't go how I had expected. Kathleen Noone truly did play every single scenario possible during her time on soaps.

A pilot Grayson McCouch did while on ATWT - I assume this was why he left the show for a while, or one of the reasons.

Thanks again for finding a bit more Catlins.

@dc11786 Wow. Another completely rare find! So glad you found this while it was still available.

Thanks @dc11786 can't believe someone is posting random Rituals clips on tiktok! Amazing find on your part.

I do wish we'd seen more of the guests, but given that it was her show and she was helping AW with publicity I can't blame her. Knowing how much she loved her husband and her mother it warmed my heart a little seeing them. Thanks @watson71 . I'd never seen any of the party, never saw that clip either.

Thanks for letting us know. That explains some of the rare clips. Very kind of them to do this for Andrea's memory and for fans.

Lucas' reaction was very funny. It was one of those moments that gay indie movies from the '90s or early '00s would have imagined for a soap. So hard to imagine this is the same character Ryan Carnes played. I would say Ron would have had fun with those scenes but Lucas wasn't sexually harassing straight men... I saw someone on Twitter saying they wished this was the Guza era as he would have slapped her back. I wouldn't have wanted that here, but I guess a lot of people will always miss that certain dark energy his '00s run had compared to the show since.

I do hope they upload everything themselves. They always delete the old episodes from Youtube anyway, although I imagine these will not have the pop songs that were often in the earlier episodes, which takes away the flavor. The old theme is exquisite, especially the closing credits. That they've had the current godawful version for 15 years tells you all you need to know about everything in that period of time.

5-6 minutes into this you get the very funny fight scene with Josh and Kelly. It gets funnier any time I watch.

Nick did have some interaction with Michael, but not enough to warrant making him Michael's son. The most interesting element was after Michael died and Donna began to turn to Nick. The show never would have gone there but I was kind of hoping they'd sleep together.

I remember Michael Logan and others at the time complaining about the story, saying Sharon Wyatt was sitting around doing nothing (and then fired) while dogs had storyline. Did they ever say what happened to them? For some reason I thought Luke mentioned Foster dying.

They should have brought Clarice back. Maybe they could have brought her and Robert's son in for the teen scene. After learning the full extent of the Robert/Iris relationship, his warmth toward her was tough to believe, but I did appreciate Iris having someone in her corner for that night.

If any of you are big fans of the Fox sitcom Costello, you're in luck, as three unaired episodes (along with a few others that did air) have been uploaded by Costello herself, with more on the way. At least it's nice to see Jenny O'Hara and Dan Lauria. Does anyone know who the two double date guys are in the Double Date episode? The comic relief one in particular is familiar to me.

I didn't think Marley becoming obsessed with him was bad in of itself because she was clearly not in her right mind and they did even discuss the rape (I think the actors insisted), but they did a poor job with the aftermath by having him be such an [!@#$%^&*] to her rather than sympathizing. Jake and Vicky definitely should have just stayed friends.

When someone asked on Reddit I remember other responses being a Native American episode and one with Jenny Lewis involving a piano teacher.

Danielle's the performer I remember most from the show. I had no idea just how much she'd suffered in her life. I hope all the animals she'd cared for over the years were there waiting for her, along with her friends and family.

Thanks. That partial 12/18/86 is a nice little missing piece.

Thanks for all the time you're taking. I also watched the partial ATWT from that same day which I didn't see on Youtube.
