Those are great ads, so unique and they also make you care about the story. Love the one of Barbara looking nuts. There's a color one of Dusty from around this time, some sort of smoldering type of shot. It's interesting they would market him that way when Marland wrote him just the opposite (much to Bloom's annoyance). Speaking of Marland, this is one of my favorite endings to any soap episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxyqPyM5qVI&feature=related Do you have any idea of where specifically the strike material began, and what the scabs created? I know Marland didn't write Dusty's exit (although I thought it was fine). He also apparently did not write the part where Sierra was presumed dead when Craig returned - someone said he was very angry about that. Did he write all the stuff with Lillith? I guess he had mentioned her years before she showed up didn't she? I just wonder because so much about Lillith was un-Marland, at least ATWT Marland. Did the scabs change Laura from obsessing over Tom to obsessing over Bob?

I miss Zak.

He's in the one 70s episode available on Youtube. I can't embed but you can just go in and search As the World Turns 1978. He's in the first part. I remember Schemering saying that the "recycling" of an alcoholism story and a story about a hooker helped the ratings fall. I guess that must have been Kevin. I think he had a lot of baggage with Susan over drinking and it ultimately led to his death.

jam I don't know if you saw the earlier ATWT Daytime Library scans I put up but I was going to ask if there are any specific actors you'd like me to post that I haven't yet. If so let me know.

What did you think of Vicky Dawson?

She seems like a very believable daughter to Ellen and David and also very pretty but not generic (I hate the outfit they stuck her in). I kind of wonder sometimes where ATWT might have gone if they hadn't recast Betsy/Dee/Annie so many times. I know Jacquie Schultz and Meg Ryan were both popular but it seems like the characters were not defined.

Sure. I wasn't posting as much as I thought you'd probably already seen quite a few and I wasn't sure if others were reading, but I will post some soon.

From the July 1950 Radio TV Mirror. Right to Happiness When the courts awarded custody of her son, Skippy, to her divorced husband, Dwight Kramer, Carolyn Kramer would have lost hope if she and her fiance, Miles Nelson, were not certain that Dwight won the suit with evidence faked by his lawyer, Arnold Kirk. Miles, who is running for governor, promises to go after this evidence, which consists of some dictaphone records, as soon as his campaign ends. But while he is away on a tour, Carolyn learns of Dwight's plan to move to Chicago with Skippy, and makes a desperate attempt to get the records herself. She is caught by Kirk, who cleverly uses the incident to blacken her character still further.

From the March 1976 TV Dawn to Dusk.

From the September 2, 1980 Digest.

From the May 1954 Radio TV Mirror.

From the January 1978 Digest. Michael Nader was very dashing. I often wonder what the Dobsons might have written for him if he'd hung on a little longer (I said that about Judith McConnell too...). Is it me or does Beau look like Rex Smith here? It's too bad more wasn't done with Georgann Johnson - she's one hell of an actress.

July 1977 - the last recap for L&F.

May and June.

Some of these have been transcribed in the past but I decided to include all the scans I have even if they've been typed up before. This is March and April 1977.

OK, thanks. I was talking about the youngest. The one who has the disability I said was the lawyer/player. Sorry for any mixup.

I hadn't seen that. I called him that mostly because the first episodes treated him that way (going on about the strip club car wash).

I kind of wonder if that's why I liked the early episodes, because there was less going on and more people bouncing off each other (like Caroline and her husband and their dumb son/lawyer and player son/daughter who might sort of want to be a beautician). I don't know how I will feel later though. I hope people won't be annoyed if I ever watch anymore and post here - I know you've all seen all these already.
