Thanks so much for these. I didn't know YT got rid of that editing tool. I wonder why. Maybe it was another copyright crackdown? I have to also say thank you for posting your playlist links a while back as it saved me from posting the video an Australian YT uploader put up today - it was one that you'd shared a few years ago (it was their own copy of course).

Thanks.

Thanks you guys. Always appreciate getting these answers to my inane questions. I hope more of this pops up someday. I have to admit the wasted potential sometimes hangs over the episodes like a black cloud but a lot of that is cut through by the performances and because everyone is clearly trying so hard.

Thanks. I'd wondered as I saw him in a bit of a May 1990 episode, with Dane.

Eamon Farren is such a gorgeous guy.

Thanks for the info as always. So do you think they dumped Matt for Casey? Somebody else already put this on years ago but the brazenness of having a broke and homeless Gwyn wandering the streets to "Another Day in Paradise" still gets to me. And the big scene of her breaking down after she realizes how grateful she now is to be breaking into a restaurant (what was that place?) and eating snacks and drinking pilfered wine. I think Chrisine Tudor would have acted the hell out of this but I also can't really see her Gwyn being in that situation, if you know what I mean? I guess Trisha and Clay must have cast her out at this time. It starts around 7 minutes. Is there anything around of Roya's Ava interacting with Paul in her temp return? If so I hope I see it someday...

From what was said in the episode, Shana sided with Clay against Jack to try to take over Alden Enterprises. I'm not sure if there was any bad blood prior to that. Ally's story at this time was dating Matt, who was on drugs and had been abused by his stepfather. I'm not sure what he was in prison for. This story continues in the November 15 1991 episode that munecojim put up a while back. Paul was shot, yes. I'm not sure why. I guess it must have had to do with his needing money as we saw bits of in the April and May episodes. It was his last months, probably - he's in a partial February 1992 episode on munecojim's channel that must have been near the end.

Everything she was involved with was a flop. Could they not get anyone better?

I'd say that LeeAnne is good TV but she's probably exhausting if you actually watch the show isn't she?

Is she any good? That show bores me so much I rarely watch all the way through but I thought most fans hated her character.

Thanks. I kept thinking Ava and Paul never married so of course Carly came in just in time. Poor Ava. Even with her schemes you want her to win. So this was the start of Trucker and Dinah Lee, and when they were starting to soften Dinah Lee. The guy who played Matt is a casting director now. http://www.ericwoodall.com/ I guess I'd mostly just seen the eras where she was more of the heroine and less like Cecile. I wish they'd kept her around to the end (although I guess they probably would have just killed her off). It didn't feel right that she had no role in any of the decimation of the Aldens. I definitely see what Munisteri was trying to do, and I think that Dinah Lee added a lot to the show and is a much fresher character than most of the young women they brought in (especially as most seemed to be generic ingenues). I like Giff a lot - they shouldn't have ruined him. It also feels like she or Fran Sears were trying to modernize the show somewhat - the radio talk show Paul hosted, all the shots of various characters at their computers and word processors, the drug storyline.

I think the door was opened for that when he let the guy on his show. I hope this is a cautionary tale for the media and for the talk show hosts that has so much media sway now, but based on the wet kiss Sean Spicer got, I shouldn't hold my breath.

I wonder if even this will make the media care - if this passes. They are still so obsessed with inside baseball and who has won or lost. I hope that this has taught Jimmy Kimmel a lesson about schmoozing with Republicans just because it gets headlines and positive attention. You can't trust a Republican. You just can't. Bill Cassidy used him and then walked away without even leaving any money on the bedside table. No wonder Kimmel is so heated.

Thanks. @Nothin'ButAttitude you probably enjoyed the lengthy Trucker shirtless scene. I did... I still can't quite process all this high drama with them or with Jack and Dinah Lee and Shana. It's such a sea change from earlier in the year. I can't say I'm all that fond of it. Susan Keith seems to be playing Cecile here. Certainly fascinating to watch though. The scene with Stacey and Trisha was pretty good. This is also the first time I've ever seen Rose Donovan. This is so early for Ally. The earliest I've seen. They were definitely trying to make her look like Carly and Ava here. At first I actually thought it was Carly. That Matt guy was cute. It's too bad he was written out. I don't think the actor went on to much. Loving had a much better younger, more natural younger cast, even as they cycle in and out so fast, than most of the soaps at this time.

I'd be surprised if NJ is around much longer.

Most stuff from April 1976 on is available. I was hoping they would show older material. It is available. Maybe this stuff won't be edited down as the Granada Plus repeats were - not holding my breath.

I loved that too. She's very bitchy and sly here - even that outfit, which is so '50s chic/glam/ordinary.

That's the earliest I've seen of Dinah Lee. She's fun as a vixen. And seeing Stacey so bitchy is also surprisingly fun. Had there already been a HW change from the April and May episodes? Trisha seems much more petulant here, having a meltdown over Trucker "ruining" her dinner party. Cringeworthy. The Paul and Ava material is markedly different from what they had only 3-4 months earlier. It's interesting to watch though. I guess Flynn is yet another character who amounted to nothing in spite of being promising. Given that Paul was only on the show for about two years it's astonishing how many different storylines he cycled through.
