@Brolden This is a very interesting compilation that you've been working on.  Hopefully this can spur some You Tube uploaders to want to acquire some of the missing episodes.

 

One thing I've noticed is that you have Tamara Tunie's debut in May 1987 and I know for sure that she debuted before that. 

Jessica Griffin did Sierra's divorce proceedings which began in March 1987 (there's a March 2 episode where Sierra is seen at Tom Hughes' office and there's a Jessica Griffin nameplate on the door), so I think the character was there by March, even though several episodes are missing online. 

At the very least we see her in You Tube episodes when she was there to help Sierra finalized her divorce in April.

Thanks! I hope so too!

Tamara Tunie's debut date (as most of the others) came from Jessica's character profile on Soapcentral. Many of these dates are off, which is why I had not made that information bold yet. Interestingly, Jessica's "brief character history" on the very same page seems to suggest that Jessica was brought on to aid in the prosecution of Kim Hughes, which was in 1986. Based on both your info (thank you so much for that, by the way) and that tidbit from the profile, I'll take out the May 1987 debut date, as it seems obviously wrong. 

Generally, anything in these lists that is NOT bold is unverified, whether it be episode airings, episode pre-emptions, episode numbers or actor debuts or exits. If you, or anyone else for that matter, have ANY info that will either verify or disprove anything in the list, please feel free to share! It's a collaborative effort!

A general note from me: As I've mentioned previously, my time is getting more limited, but I'm committed to seeing this project through to the end. I'm hoping to keep up my current rate of one year a week.

AS THE WORLD TURNS      Dr,. Karen ___   Campbell    1979-80

Now I KNOW you mean Dr. Marcia _____ Campbell, as that's how she appears in your cancelled soaps cast list thread (and I can also verify that was her character's name, as much of her stint can be seen on youtube).

Two characters having a conversation even though both are facing the camera - especially when the character in the foreground's thoughts are being betrayed by his/her face.

I absolutely love this as well. I remember the first few times I saw this happen when I started watching around 2000, I was completely weirded out by it... Why is so-and-so facing the wall, instead of their conversation partner? But it's such a beautiful way to show the inner conflict in the characters. I actually started doing it myself in real life, when I feel 'dramatic'... although it never pans out quite the same.

I just viewed an episode of As the World Turns on YouTube.  It was from 1961, I think.

 

Characters shown were Chris (Don McLauglin), Grace (Frances Reid), Penny (Rosemary Prinz), Doug (Nat Pollen), Jeff (Mark Rydell), and someone named Tom.   I do not remember Tom.   He seemed to be interested in Ellen.   I do remember Jim Norman, who became engaged to Ellen.   Can anyone tell me more about Tom, especially the name of the actor who played him?

The character's full name is Tom Pope. He's been played by both Hal Hamilton and Charles Baxter, but I believe it's Baxter playing the role in that episode.

This was all long before I was born, so I only know what I gathered from the scrapbook: he was Chris' assistant at the law firm and he was a suitor for Penny. I think he and Penny were even engaged for a while, but finally Penny ended the engagement to reunite with Jeff.

But I also seem to recall that the hardcover anniversary book mentioned Ohio. Or was that just in reference to the farm too?

I fully understand your confusion because of they way the book is structured. It starts with 'back story', which is pretty much all about Ohio (because of the farm), before going into the actual story, starting with 1956-1960. That story, though, was always set in Illinois. 

I was going over Craig's profile on SC... specifically his dating history...

Have you ever realized that throughout his stints in Oakdale (spanning all four actors), Craig Montgomery has been romantically involved with:

- 1 trio of sisters (Iva, Ellie and Meg Snyder)

- 3 pairs of sisters (Betsy and Emily Stewart; Lucinda Walsh and Samantha Markham; Carly Tenney and Rosanna Cabot)

- 3 mother-daughter pairs (Lucinda Walsh and Sierra Esteban; Barbara Ryan and Jennifer Munson; and worst of all... Betsy Stewart and Dani Androrpoulos).

I guess he really liked the Snyder, Stewart, Walters, Washburn and Ryan genes.

TGL's Springfield was thought to be in Illinois, but ATWT's Oakdale was in Ohio

I believe Oakdale was always located in Illinois. You may be confused with the original Hughes farm, which was located in Ohio. It's where Pa Hughes raised Chris, Edith and John. But when Chris married Nancy, they moved to Oakdale, where they were soon joined by Edith and Pa, with John staying behind on the farm in Ohio.
