Thanks again Roger. I like how your willing to talk to us about this. I really appreciate you and SoapClassics for all you'll are doing.

Thanks again Roger! I have loved what you guys are doing and I was previously more into the ABC soaps but familiar with ATWT and GL. I have loved most of the released episodes. I have to ask though, are there any plans to get anything more from the Willows storyline with Lisa? I would love to see the episode where Lisa faces off with Hester at the mansion from 1979. I was so grateful to be able to see the one episode from that storyline on the 20 episode set.

Thanks for posting that soapfan770! I love seeing all of those old photos. By the way, Kathryn Hays and Gillian Spencer looked so old with those haircuts back then. Both looked much younger even several years later.

Thank you SO MUCH for putting that picture up. I would love to that episode. There is so little available of early OLTL and it seems to be the only soap in which that is the case. I was also wondering if there was a photo of Larry and Meredith's wedding. I have never found one.

Was Lisa's role in the whole drug ring story small? ATWT was changing a lot around this time too. Thanks for posting that. I love reading all of these old articles you share with us!

Does anyone know which GL book would be better? The 1987 or 1997 one? I am more interested in learning the earlier years of the show and was wondering which described it more in-depth.

Thanks Matt and Carl! I know I read in the Soapcentral Bert Bauer profile that she and Bill moved to Springfield and only knew the Frazier couple, but I was curious because Robin and other characters were still on into 1967. Also, does anyone know the exact year Sara married Joe Werner? I have heard from several places it was either December 1970 or 1971but their all different.

Does anyone know how they did the transition from Five Points to Selby Flatts to Springfield? I was reading over some recaps and saw that some characters on in the early 60s were still around in 1967 but Bert and Bill had already moved.

Thanks for posting that 10 Years Ago this Month feature. I really enjoy this. How long did SOD do them? I have afew late 80s ones and they still did them, except with 3 shows and less detailed.

Does anyone know anything about the 80s characters of Jade and Yank? They were on from 1985 to 1987 and introduced in the Asian Quarter story but I can't find anything past that.

Schnessel's last big story was Mendorra, he left shortly after that. From his era, it was only the Tina, Viki and Buchanan stories that would go on to be remembered because they were the center of the show, I think it was more balanced out with O'Shea.

Thanks for filling me in! This Infinity storyline sounds so bad. People talk about Eterna on OLTL and Possession on Days but this just sounds plain stupid. Did anyone enjoy it?

What exactly was this Infinity storyline? I have heard so much about it but never an actual recap.

I was wondering why they wasted Jacqueline Courtney too. There was so much potential there storyline-wise for so many characters and the only story she had was being a doctor and falling for Mark and even that barely played out. The same went for 1989, that would have been another great chance to bring her back. I really wish she had returned to either One Life or AW.

. I wonder if thatgs why she left in 1980. She said she left for her own health and I have seen a May 1980 clip of Carla as well, when I compare her work there to her work in 1983 and 1984, its just completely different.

Thanks for showing that OLTL promo. Its great to see more Ed and Carla, even if its in a promo. And was it just me or did Carla look drunk?

Pat left town in August 1983, Rauch came in June 1984.

I just seems extremely random to bring Giles Morgan back to hold Clint and Echo hostage, he has no history with them. I think Kim Zimmer was married to the actor who played him though. Despjte that, it just made no sense. I think Pat was just about to leave around that time and he also knew Samantha, Dorian and Viki.

FanFic is to much fun for OLTL. Only because they have missed so many good story opprotunities over the years, so sad.

Rauch must have gotten rid of Will and Samantha then. I know he took over in the summer of 1984 which I think is when all that happened. I have got to say I am happy Larry made it though. OLTL seems to be the worst soap when it comes to keeping long-term characters, usually through their own fault.

Thanks again Carl. I love reading these. The scenes of Jenny breaking down after losing so many of her closest loved ones sounds great too. I do agree with Eric. With the Buchanans and Delila coming in, we lost Katrina, Karen, Will, Ina, etc. Obviously, they all weren't by choice, but 1985 saw almost an entirely different cast.

I remember an old OLTL promo on YouTube from summer 1982 where Bo and Georgina are at a racetrack and Larry is on a boat trying to rescue Karen in South America. It was great to see something from that era, even if it was a promo. I doubt it will ever be up again though.

Erika Slezak mentions the solarmite story in her finale interviews with Soaps in Depth and Digest. She says the prop guys had to build an extractor that looked like R2-D2 from Star Wars because the only Solarmite in Llanview happened to be under Llanfair and couldn't be exposed to oxygen or it would explode. The story sounds insane. All of the recaps I have seen, the story goes nowhere.

I would love to see 1983, but its all up to you. This is a lot of work your doing and I do appreciate it.

Brynn declined to come back because she wanted the story to focus on Michael Zaslow's David.
