Soap Hoppers: The Soap Actors And Roles Thread
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.

As The World Turns Discussion Thread
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!

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
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.

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!

As The World Turns Full Episode List
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.

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?

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. Agim Kaba (Aaron) posted a brief tribute on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RealAgimKaba/status/1526953898312814592?s=20&t=v3gRKo07dmf6VDe73DlNtw

ATWT LEGEND KATHRYN HAYS PASSES AWAY
Such tremendously sad news. Kathryn Hays was among the very best of the very best. In the 10 years I watched ATWT 'live', her role had sadly long been diminished, but I started truly appreciating her when I found the classic episodes online. I haven't read this full thread yet, but I see the Marland era being mentioned a lot. Personally, I will be forever grateful to WeLoveSoaps and SoapClassics for publishing a series of episodes from late 1979 and early 1980. These episodes show Kim right after she's lost Dan, as she's trying to be be a parent to Betsy. Kathryn Hays was so beautifully understated in these scenes. This is a huge loss for the daytime community. May she rest in peace.

I wonder if someone can help me date this episode. I've noticed for some time that some of the classic 60s episodes appear on Youtube under several different dates. These two videos show the same episode: SoapsNThings lists it as January 1963: Ohh Donna lists it as 1962 (unknown): Since the SoapsNThings version was on Youtube first, I had it written down as January 1963. Does anyone know if this is correct?

RIP Lisa Brown
I am tremendously saddened by this news. It is strange how affected you can feel by the passing of an actor you did not personally know, but this is one of those for me. I first got acquainted with Lisa and in the Hogan Sheffer era when Iva returned and teamed up with Lucinda to find the truth about Rose. I realize this is far from Lisa's most memorable stint on the show, but even then there was something about her that just drew me in. Ever since I've discovered classic episodes on youtube, Lisa Brown has long been one of my favorites. There was always such an underlying tragedy in Iva's character, yet such warm familiarity in Lisa's acting. I've never seen Guiding Light, but I'm very aware that before Iva there was Nola. To have created two characters that were so iconic is really a tribute to Lisa's talent. From a quick glance of this thread, I already see classic scenes being shared, which warms my heart. I'll be taking out some time during this weekend to celebrate and remember Lisa Brown. May she rest in peace.

Back up... there were scenes of Susan and Dan Stewart in the 70s on Youtube a few years ago? I would love to see some footage of Susan in the 70s. Much as I love the string of 79/80 episodes that are available, I hate that they take place just after Dan has passed and Susan has left Oakdale.

Pre-emptions during July 1987
Hi, first of all great thread! Nice way to combine knowledge and resources cross-soaps. As the initiator of the ATWT full episode list, let me just say that I've been working on a major overhaul of this list. The latter years have already been updated accordingly, but 1987 is still overdue for an update. Here is the info I have for ATWT in the month of July 1987. The red color indicates a (suspected) pre-emption. Anything that is in bold has been confirmed as either having aired or having been pre-empted. Many of the dates on which I suspect the show was pre-empted were found in the listings, but that makes sense, as the pre-emptions were largely unplanned. As you can see much of my info lines up with the info you have given above. One difference is that I have Thursday 23rd confirmed as a pre-emption for ATWT (as announced at the end of the previous episode) and according to my info that was the CBS-day that week. The Wednesday 22nd episode is actually available online. 1987 6 29 Monday AsTheWorldStillTurns 1987 6 30 Tuesday AsTheWorldStillTurns 1987 7 1 Wednesday AsTheWorldStillTurns / munecojim 1987 7 2 Thursday AsTheWorldStillTurns / munecojim 1987 7 3 Friday AsTheWorldStillTurns / munecojim -- Scott Holmes' debut? 1987 7 6 Monday AsTheWorldStillTurns 1987 7 7 Tuesday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 24: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 8 Wednesday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 25: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 9 Thursday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 26: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 10 Friday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 27: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 13 Monday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 28: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 14 Tuesday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 29: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 15 Wednesday pre-empted Iran-Contra Hearings [Day 30: all networks] [listed in The Journal] 1987 7 16 Thursday ??

As The World Turns Full Episode List
Hi Paul Raven, absolutely! I've been spending time on the old RATS board collecting recaps in order to be able to narrow down which episodes have certainly aired and which may have been pre-empted, which has been rather time consuming. But please keep leaving any info you find. Great find on that 2000th episode!

I'm way behind on the Locher Room episodes, but I just managed to watch the Snyder kids episode. I know most people around here aren't very fond of that era and may not have watched it, but I just wanted to share a few thoughts: Mick seems like a really nice, down to earth guy. I guess that doesn't really come as a surprise, as he always seemed that way, but it's nice to see it affirmed. I'm pretty sure he's been on the show longer than any of the other people in that episode (well, I guess Allie was there for the same length of time), yet he never once tried to draw attention to himself. I wish we could have heard more from him. I love that he's still in touch with Michael Park and they play golf regularly. I was struck by how much Christopher Tavani reminded me of his on-screen brother Agim Kaba. I know they were on around the same time, though I don't remember seeing them together much, but they seem really well-cast as family members. I wish Ashley Marie Greiner would have been a part of the episode. No offense to Valentina, but she'd been Faith for much longer. Plus, with the hints that were dropped by Elizabeth Hubbard, I would have been interested to hear her take on what happened (though I guess it may be the reason why she wouldn't want to be on).

I was watching a random '98 episode yesterday, where Lisa and John are growing close again after his marriage to Barbara. This would of course soon be cut short by his marriage to Carly, which pretty much ended before it began. I was thinking it was a pity the show didn't allow John and Lisa to get back together, with everything that transpired between them behind them, and see where it would go. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad John ended up with Lucinda in the finale, but I think a renewed John/Lisa pairing in the late 90s could have given both of there characters an impulse.

Does anyone know what reasons were given for the character Ellen Stewart's most recent departure on ATWT (in November 1998, according to one online source) and where she was headed? Did Ellen go off traveling or go live somewhere? Anyone know.
Along similar lines, it always confused me that Susan went back to Stewart after divorcing Larry. She and Dan divorced before he died (he was married to Kim at that time), so why wouldn't she have gone back to Burke, but kept Stewart? It made even less sense when Alison became largely known as Alison Stewart, even if she was biologically related to Emily, Dan, and Ellen. As a watcher during the 2000's, I always thought of that house as Susan's. I was shocked when those 1979 episodes were released on YouTube to find that the set was around (and largely unchanged) at that time. Makes me even sadder to think that it did eventually disappear. I believe I remember seeing some scenes there in early 2007 when Emily was drifting into prostitution, but I think it ended up one of the casualties of the massive set destructions in 07/08.
