This is also how I always imagined the quads being reintroduced to the show. I always liked how the Snyder family was fully established early on, then introduced one at a time. Caleb and Ellie were mentioned long before they were introduced. One of the quads could have been brought in and because unlike the Snyders, these characters had a history on the show, we would know that there were 3 other siblings, maybe they'd even be mentioned from time to time, and when the first one had been woven into the canvas, a second could follow. As we had missed seeing them grow up, they could even introduce two of the quads separately from each other, have them interact with different sets of characters and leave it as a surprise that they were related (granted, this would only work if at least one of them went by a different name, but it's not like that never happened on the show). I think the most important reason why people are interested in the Quads is because it would have been a way to revive the Stewart family, which had sadly gotten lost over the years. I'm one of the bigger 2000s defenders for the show, having also started watching around 2000, but I often wish Emily, Alison and Susan hadn't been so isolated.

I'd be very curious where you are finding these scripts?

Saddened to hear about Eileen. I was thinking of the "7 divas on the bus" special for the 50th anniversary of the show. It is insane to me that 4 of those ladies are now no longer with us. Has anyone heard any news of Marie Masters or Kathleen Widdoes in recent years? They've both never appeared on The Locher Room. I'm sure they're just enjoying a quiet life, but I do sometimes wonder if we'd even find out if something were to happen to them. What are everyone's favorite Eileen moments? When SoapClassics released those 10-episode disc sets around certain couples or characters around a decade ago, I used to fantasize about what potential sets they could come up with. Which 10 episodes, spread out in time, would I select for a Tom & Margo disc set, a Lucinda disc set, a John disc set, or indeed a Lisa disc set? Admittedly, I missed most of Lisa's biggest moments, as I originally watched in the 2000's when Lisa was barely on. I've always been blown away by the scene where she says goodbye to Eduardo, so that would definitely be included. Just based on the number of flashback sequences it's been in, her goodbye to Earl might also be included. I've enjoyed some of what I've seen between Lisa and John as well, it's a shame to me that when they seemed to bring those two back together at the end of the 90's, those plans were torpedoed by John's short-lived marriage to Carly. What moments would you include on a 10-episode Lisa disc, provided most of pre-1979 ATWT has very sadly been lost?

I wonder if someone can help me figure out the timeline of Lisa & Earl... I was just watching the December 24, 1986 episode, which was posted a few years ago as "Christmas 1986". The start of the recording briefly flashes "Christmas 1987" across the screen, which made me wonder if it had been wrongly dated as 1986, but the cast clearly shows it's '86 (Greg Marx is still Tom, Brian and Beatrice are still on). This episode features a the famous goodbye scene between Lisa & Earl, that I have seen in many flashbacks later on ("Wherever you go and whatever you do, just remember how much I love you"), after Earl tells her he's an Interpol agent. Trouble is... don't Lisa & Earl get married at New Year's Eve between '86 and '87? I seem to remember they were supposed to have a double wedding with Brian & Shannon, although that half of the wedding doesn't end up happening. I know I've seen these episodes. Brian & Shannon are still very much together in this Christmas episode. So 1 week after this goodbye Earl & Lisa get married? Was this not Earl's final goodbye? I've always thought based on how often this scene was replayed later that it was. Or am I mixing up dates? EDIT: Lol, teaches me to post while I'm still watching... My question was answered in the episode. He pulls a Rachel Green and gets off the plane to surprise Lisa at home (and ask her to marry him in the process). I guess I'm still kind of surprised that the scene wasn't his final goodbye before he goes missing, as I always thought it was.

It's the same episode as the "Cry Of The Wind" episode on the Holden & Lily disc released by SoapClassics. That's where that particular date came from.

Thanks @Paul Raven, please do keep sending these as you find them. I'm hoping to be able to revisit the list over the summer

Wherever episodes are available on Youtube, I've included channel names where they can be found. I'm afraid I haven't been able to update in a while, which means I can't guarantee all episodes can still be found, and there may be newer uploads missing from the list. I still plan to update the list at a later date, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to.

I just watched a portion of the 2001 Emmys, that was posted on The Locher Room channel some time ago. This brought back up a question I've had for some time. Does anyone has any information about the "Outstanding Original Song" category in the Daytime Emmys? Wikipedia lists nominees and winners in almost every other category except that one. I'd be very curious which songs have been nominated, or even won, for ATWT. The 2001 telecast mentioned a song called "Beside Me" as a nominee for ATWT in 2001. I was watching the show religiously at that time, so I must have heard this song, but I can't at all place how it was used, or even who it's by. Any info, either on Beside Me, or the Outstanding Original Song category in general, is appreciated!

I was actually waiting for this in the late 2000s. There was an episode in 2000, after David Stenbeck died, where he addressed the five women invited to his funeral - Denise, Emily, Julia, Lily and Molly - by pre-recorded video. In that video, he said that he'd organized that Hope would receive a letter once she turned 18, revealing that Denise had sold her to him as a baby. By the end of the show, Faith (who was obviously of the same age as Hope) was finally approaching the age of 18, so I always imagined Hope would be brought back, asking to live with her grandparents as she was upset with her mother. Obviously, even if the show had continued, it would have been a long shot for the writers at that time to even remember that. It's a shame, because I think those long-term set-ups are one of the beautiful things about soaps, something that's really possible in no other medium, but if they are not followed up on they just go to waste.

I just heard the news... I have no words. I knew the legendary actresses of ATWT weren't going to live forever, but I was not quite ready when we lost Kathryn Hays last year, and I absolutely wasn't ready to hear about the amazing Elizabeth Hubbard today. What an intense loss for the daytime community. Widely regarded to be the best actress ATWT ever had. I'll be revisiting some classic scenes over the next few days. I'm eager to try out some of her work on The Doctors as well. May she rest in peace!

All right, I'll go for it... Request: Michael Park

I have this written down as February 20, 1967 from an earlier source. I can't immediately recall the source, but on the surface that makes more sense to me as February 20 was a Monday, whereas January 20 was a Friday. Seems like an odd move to debut color on a Friday?

I've been really busy lately, and am slowly working my way to catch up with this thread. Loving all the 2000's ATWT love on p.342, thanks Bright Eyes for requesting. I still have a few more pages to catch up on, but I'm wondering if Bright Eyes got around to requesting the major ATWT actor that I've known for a while is still missing on the list 🤭 Re: Hunter Garner. How sure are we these photos are him? As someone who remembers Billy Ross I can tell you the first picture is him. I could maybe buy the second picture being him (although the picture appears recent and the guy looks young), but I'm fairly sure the last three pictures are not the same Hunter Garner. I've long suspected there are two Hunter Garners merged on IMDB. It seems ATWT's Garner pretty much disappeared from the limelight after his stint. I do believe the credits for Disk-O Boyz and 7th Heaven are him, I think I remember reading about that back in '02. I just read the IMDB page, and it says he was born in '85, that would have made him 16/17 in '01/'02. I'm pretty sure the actor was older.

I normally try to stay out of these types of discussions, as I personally prefer the board as a tool for information sharing, rather than the kind of opinionated talk that happens here sometimes (not that I have any issue with others using it as such). However, I feel the need to speak up. I've been biting my lips for a few weeks now. Let me clarify that I have no idea what has transpired in different threads on this board between some of the posters involved. I have been following this particular thread for a long time (both passively and more actively), and from what I can tell the only thing the user named adrnyc has done "wrong" is like the final decade of ATWT, as well as certain characters (Katie) and pairings (Henry & Barbara) in that decade. As someone who originally started watching in 2000, I often find myself agreeing with them. Having seen so much of the Marland era now, I completely understand why people hated the final decade. But without that context to rely on, I really enjoyed the 2000s in my original watching of it, including many of the elements that people hate (the Hogan Sheffer era, Hunt Block's Craig, Katie, and even bits of Janet and Henry & Barbara). A few years ago, adrnyc posted several posts detailing their experience making their way through the Marland era as a first time watcher, and I always really enjoyed those. There has, in the past, been a truly obnoxious troll active in this thread. I have the feeling that some people seem to think that adrnyc is this troll, under a different account. Personally, I do not believe this to be the case. I think part of the confusion is caused by adrnyc's posts often being quite defensive, although, to be honest, I can totally see why they are with the way this poster has been treated on this board time and again. However, in my opinion the tone of adrnyc's posts is quite different from that of the troll I mentioned. As for the Colleen Zenk issue, I must admit I am also inclined to take it with a grain of salt. I DO believe adrnyc is speaking the truth about CZ relaying this information. I even think that CZ believes it is the truth. As some of you have pointed out, however, an actress might not be the most trustworthy source, especially one who is as emotionally invested in the show as CZ. We may never find out what happened exactly. I just don't see why our differing opinions on this matter have to lead to all of this nastiness. Let this be a call for this thread to get back to sharing information, opinions, and frustrations about the show in a respectful way. I am not trying to pick one side over the other. As I said before, maybe there's more history between some of you than I am aware of. I have no personal affiliation with adrnyc, other than finding myself agreeing with some of their controversial ATWT opinions. All I'm asking is if you've made up your mind that adrnyc is a troll, go back and figure out what you base that on. Long post over. Here's to hoping I won't be shunned for speaking up. Peace and love!

Elena Goode was #1 from 2006-2007. Davida Williams was #2 from 2008-2009. With Elena Jade was an interesting troublemaker. Davida's version never felt like Jade to me. It's cool to see her lining up a project with Venus Williams though.

I'm sure you meant to say #2

With all this talk about P&G wiping everything, I'm very pleased to announce that I am currently in the process of creating an ATWT vault! I've been inspired by the vaults for B&B, Y&R and GL that I've seen on this board. I'm currently in the process of filling it up, so give me a little time before I share the links with all of you. I need to sort through a lot of stuff that I've left unsorted on my external hard drive for way too long. I've always taken the approach of "rather have three copies of an episode than no copy at all" when collecting episodes, so I'm tryin to sort all that out. Stay tuned!

Updated

Updated. Sorry I've been too busy to keep up these lists for a while. With the recent appearance of lots of never-before-seen episodes, this list was way overdue an update. A few notes: - I have kept channels that have disappeared from Youtube on the list. Many of these episodes are still available on different channels, if you search for them. Thus, if you're using this list to find episodes on Youtube, you may have to search past the original channel name. - On that note, since my last update of this list many channels have been created that contain episodes that were already in circulation. Although I used to list all channels on which an episode was available, that is simply proving to be too much work at the moment. Again, if the list indicates an episode is in circulation, you will likely be able to find it with a simple search. - If we can verify the August 22 pre-emption, we can connect the episode numbers throughout 1990. If it indeed exists, it would be an unplanned pre-emption, as the August 21 episode still invites viewers to "join us tomorrow". It may be related to "George H W Bush calls up military reserves" (https://www.onthisday.com/date/1990/august/22), but I'd love to see some verification that this indeed pre-empted the show. If you start counting on April 2, 1956 and count every day, then Nov 29, 1963 would be #2000. This confirms my earlier suspicions that in the early years, both planned and unplanned pre-emptions were given episode numbers. I'd be very curious to find out when they stopped doing this, my guess is somewhere in the early 80s. This also means that in actuality, the show had far fewer episodes than its established episode number (13,858) would suggest. I'll update the early years later this week.

Worked like a charm! Thanks again!

That would be fantastic! I second that. Amazing work! When I get the chance, I'll dust off the ATWT full episode list thread and update it properly!

With all the recent never-before-seen episodes popping up on Youtube, I'm working hard to download these episodes and store local copies in case something happens to the online versions. Interestingly enough, one episode doesn't seem to be working. I can't seem to get the December 10, 1990 episode downloaded, my theory is it's because the URL contains two dash symbols, which is unusual. Has anyone else tried to download the episode and run into the same issue? Does someone know a workaround?

This is amazing! Thank you so much for including me. How do we get this person to upload to youtube?

I don't see it reported on this board yet, but I just heard that Marnie Schulenburg (Alison) has passed. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/as-the-world-turns-alum-passes-away-at-37/ She shared her story in 2020 about battling stage 4 breast cancer. Marnie arrived at a time when the show was going downhill fast, but I always thought she brought some light in those years. She is way too young to have passed. I'm very saddened by this news. It's been a tough year for ATWT fans. Losing so many of our greats.
