I love the new design! It's striking, clean, and frankly caught my eye right away. Thanks for all the hard work you do, Errol!

@dc11786 You're absolutely right! Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for the tag, @DRW50!! What a treat to watch that. I was always impressed with Karen Kelly. And tagging @NadineC. I recollect they're a big of Tim Maier, who appears in this clip along with Karen Kelly and Claire Yarlett.

Paul, you are an immensely important part of this board…a true soap historian in my eyes. I look forward to every one of your posts. I’m truly sorry you were subjected to such juvenile passive-aggressive BS.

Awesome new design!!! Fantastic work, Errol!!

Not to be picky, but it's my understanding that Keith Whitney did not meet his demise in a lighthouse, but rather in a tower on the Whitney summer estate. Historian William J. Reynolds, who used to post here and other soap boards, shared his recollections of the storyline and even had the chance to tour Lords Valley Country Club, where the scenes were filmed. See William's post from July 24, 2012, on the following page for his memories of the storyline. He posted this a few days after visiting Lords Valley Country Club: https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/the-edge-of-night-discussion-t17011.html I know the scenes with Mike, Nancy, and Laurie reminiscing were once available online, but I had no luck finding them. I recall Sharon Gabet posting episodes on her Facebook, including the final week. I believe the scenes with the Karrs aired on Christmas in 1984.

Priscilla Garita didn't portray the role of Pilar. That was Paula Garces. And I totally agree about her performances on AMC.

Awesome topic! I've been playing with ChatGPT to create logo ideas for a new business endeavor, and it's a lot of fun. Here's what it came up with for a logo for Dark Shadows.

Teri as Lacey’s mother was a stretch. (Teri was about a year older than Mary.) Thankfully we never saw scenes of Lainie with Lacey.

Jack and Lainie were seen at the Bauer BBQ in July 1988, but did not show up in the clips I've seen online from the July 1987 BBQ when Alan-Michael returned. My recollection is that they first showed up in early 1988 around the time Johnny was battling cancer. Elizabeth Allen had played Reena's mother Victoria Bellman on Texas. She played the role of Dr. Gwen Harding on Guiding Light. Gwen was Annabelle's therapist and was killed by Eli. Mary Pat Gleason also came over from Texas. She played Jane Hogan on Guiding Light and had played the Marshalls' housekeeper Doris Hodges on Texas. I've said this before, but I wonder who Hannah Bauer was slated to be in 1987. Mary Stuart stated in an interview that she was offered the role of Hannah shortly after Search for Tomorrow was axed. I wonder if Hannah was originally supposed to be Johnny, Lacey, and Todd's mother.

Two other Texas actors who joined Guiding Light in 1983 were Elizabeth Allen and Stephen Joyce. And I’m pretty certain Sheri Anderson had nothing to do with Jack and Lainie Bauer. Pam Long ditched Bea Reardon in the fall of 1987 after the character had returned the year before. Long then introduced Jack and Lainie to run Company.

Some years back, I had the opportunity to share with OLTL's Susan Bedsow-Horgan how powerful Billy's story was and how it transformed my life. At the time the story aired in 1992, I was immersed in a born-again religious cult. I got hooked on OLTL while I was recovering from an illness. The frank portrayal of intolerance in Llanview opened my eyes to the intolerance in the cult and in my own life. Billy's story prompted me to sever ties with the cult and put me on the path to accepting my own sexuality. Truly an amazing story.

Wasn't it Rick Oliver? I wasn't watching back then, but I seem to remember reading about Rick.

Fantastic topic, vetsoapfan! Thanks for starting this thread. It's been fascinating reading everyone's memories. I have some memories of watching Return to Peyton Place. I recall Allison and the Tate brothers. Wasn't there a cabin fire where Benny Tate supposedly perished? I recall Monica Bell, the brunette waitress who became a major character toward the end. And Constance's affair with Mike Rossi. For some reason, I recall the scene where they consummate their affair being shot through the window of someone's house. And Constance's slip falling to the floor as she and Mike gave into their passion for each other. I think they replayed that scene over and over. I remember Pamela Susan Shoop's first scene as Allison. I think it was in Eli Carson's store. The voiceover came on announcing the recast, and I think we saw a framed photo of Allison on the wall. I recall being surprised and disappointed as I really liked Kathy Glass in the role.

Actually, Beth and Phillip lasted about a year. Beth was introduced in May 1983 and Lujack came around that November. By July 1984, Beth was with Lujack. I remember rolling my eyes when Beth was going on about her relationship with Phillip being a fantasy, while her relationship with Lujack was based in reality. Or something like that. And moments later, a horse shows up on the beach for them to ride on, just like a romance novel. It was absurd.
