You are right. I think there was an online miniseries and that Kelley Menighan appeared in a few Y&R episodes as well, as Emily. I will echo what's already being said. During a time when ATWT was definitely not at its best, she did a good job as Alison. I'm very sad to hear about this development, and I truly hope she gets better!

Emma was introduced before Holden? Does anyone know what the circumstances behind her introduction were?

An AMC reunion has been announced for Friday. I wonder if that means there's no ATWT reunion this week?

I saw some comments to that end, but it might have just been a few. I agree with all of you that Scott helped the flow of the conversation, and I actually thought it was funny how he would literally sit back to seemingly prevent himself from answering before Kathy & Don. It's funny... It's obviously the go-to abbreviation online, but I don't think I've ever actually heard someone use it vocally (at least not in English, where the W has three syllables. I use it in Dutch all the time, but all four letters have only one syllable here. I kind of like the syncopated sound of the 1-1-3-1 syllabic pattern).

This was my favorite one yet. So nice to see them back together again. Kathy's impression of Eileen was spot on and it was nice she humored the fans with that 'kiddo' and 'pal'. It's also funny how some of the slightest mannerisms she has will just bring me right back to the best Kim moments. Don hasn't lost this sense of humor, and I'm really impressed with his memory. The addition of Scott was so nice as well. I know some people were saying he was hijacking the conversation a bit, but I didn't feel that way at all. He seemed genuinely excited to answer some of Alan's questions and quite apologetic about talking out of turn. I absolutely loved his genuinely heartfelt comments about Don & Kathy. I had a weird sense that he was hesistant to make an appearance when Maura was on a few weeks back, so it's very nice to see that's not the case at all. Such a shame the show never brought Andy back at the end. I wonder who will be on next week. Sounds like Alan hasn't had any luck tracking down Eileen.

Thank you for sharing that article on Hogan Sheffer. I know it's not the popular opinion, and in hindsight I do see the issues in his writing, but I started watching in 2000 and always loved his stuff. Although 2000-2001 was definitely the best part of his run, to me 2002-2003 is still highly watchable (and certainly more so than some of the 1995-1997 and post-2006 stuff). 2004, which was still very much in Hogan's run, was a low point for me, and JP's arrival really led the show to perk up from mid-05 to mid-06, before it all went south. Still, I'd take Hogan's writing over most of JP's writing any day. Very nice to hear Craig Sheffer reflect on his brother as well. I remember finding out that the guy who was headwriting my favorite daytime show and the guy who played Uncle Keith in my favorite primetime show were brothers after I'd been watching both shows for some time and being shocked.

You know... I was thinking this at first, but I think I'd prefer it be just Don & Kathy, and have Eileen do one later. Much as I respect Eileen Fulton, she does have a habit of enjoying being in the spotlight. If the three of them were on together, I'm afraid we wouldn't have much of a chance to hear from Kathryn. I, like many of you, am delighted to hear Don & Kathy will be on. I loved Don in the first one, and I just love Kathryn as well.

I guess it depends on your definition of "classic", but I was always surprised that Richard Roundtree's short stint on ATWT as Oliver Travers wasn't a much bigger deal.

I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet, but I liked how Christopher Tavani (a young Luke Snyder, 2001-2005) was in the chatbox for the Martha/Liz livestream. Alan even called out one of his responses, but I believe I saw his name pop up a few times.

They way I understood it, she meant Jake Silbermann. Either that or Karl Girolamo. She said that the actor playing her grandson (THAT would be Van) told this other actor something along the lines of "it's okay, it's just how she approaches the scene" when he saw the other actor's confusion. Luke and Will never had many scenes together, and the repeated mention of the gay storyline would point to Jake or Karl.

I don't know why, but Jennifer Ferrin is the first guest on these (the ATWT ones at least) that actually surprises me. I always felt like she'd left her soap days behind her. I always loved her Jennifer, though, so it's a pleasant surprise for sure. I'm a huge Will & Gwen fan, so I'm glad to see Jen L. in there as well, I just wish JLS would show up as a surprise guest.

I agree. And precisely because Faith had been plus size, and struggling with her body image, it made absolutely zero sense to cast Valentina De Angelis in the role.

I actually didn't... so thank you very much for clueing me in! I just can't believe how many of these connections we continue to be able to make, absolutely love it. Kayden wrote "one of the very few ATWT episodes that I have". Would you happen to know if there are any others around? Since the video's unlisted, the channel shows no videos for me. -- I would also like to ask for help on something in this thread. There is a video on both Oakdalian ("Christmas 1989") and AsTheWorldStillTurns' ("ATWT 12 25 89") channels. That particular version of the episode comes from a re-airing in the late 90s (as can be seen in the doctored end credits). My assumption is that Oakdalian uploaded it first, as Christmas 1989, and AsTheWorldStillTurns assumed that it must be the December 25 episode. However, in the Full Episode List thread, I have now gathered four different leads that all state that the December 25, 1989 episode was pre-empted. Presumably, then, the episode in fact aired one airdate earlier or later. Normally, I would guess earlier (that's what they usually seem to do with holiday episodes), but since December 25, 1989 was a Monday, the next airdate was actually closer. Long story short: the episode aired on EITHER Friday December 22, 1989 OR Tuesday December 26, 1989. I'm curious to see if anyone can help dating it properly.

Wow, thank you so much... again! Some great sources I wasn't aware of! -- 2001 section updated

New pre-emption confirmed: February 15, 1988: NBA Game Which leaves only 3 pre-emptions in this era... -- Thanks for passing these along. I was fully unaware of this amazing resource. Also, good job on your Y&R list. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking on this crazy challenge.

I just found a second source hinting at a pre-emption for December 25, 1989. It looks like that is indeed the remaining pre-emption in that era and the episode on AsTheWorldStillTurns' channel is dated wrong. @Paul Raven I'm not sure if you can channel your search, but would you perhaps be able to confirm a pre-emption on December 25, 1989? 2003 section updated

I can confirm that both 1991 episodes, as well as 2 out of 3 1993 episodes were not previously on YT. Adding them to the full episode list. I love finding channels like this. Seems like he's uncovered a box of old tapes and is uploading them. Here's to hoping this is not the last of it. Thanks for finding and sharing!
