  1. His passing is such a saddening shock.  Through his soap career (AMC, Y&R and GH) his talent was undeniable.  Fiery, emotional, witty, lovable; Billy Miller exuded all those traits and then some in his work.  May his memory remain a blessing to the people who knew him and the fans who loved him and his work.

    I don't know if it was successful, but yes, the nightime soaps did enter the syndication market. I've heard that in some cases, episodes were split into two, which just sounds horrible.

    There was a weird trend in the '80s of splitting hour shows into half-hours once they hit syndication to fit better onto network affiliates.  Dynasty was the only soap to do the half-hour split, but Knight Rider, Trapper John MD and Fame also did this.

  3. Such heartbreaking news; the first thing I remember seeing in was as Amelia on GH.  It was sometimes a nothing role, but Wersching added a lot more depth than what was in the scripts.  What has struck me so much in the reactions and outpouring was how beloved she was on every set she stepped in.  Prayers to her family.

    I've noticed for the most part that knots struggled during this season. Was this season that bad? I don't recall it being that bad.

    CBS moved Knots to 9pm at the beginning of the season opposite Cheers; even though they ended up moving it back to 10pm before the end of the year, that led to a sizable ratings drop and it didn't really recover that season.
