It was probably during the BBQ. Rick and Mindy never actually married before the show went dark. The weddings during the final week were Buzz and Lillian and Vanessa and Billy. Plus Remy and what's her name got hitched again on the final episode.

The cancellation was announced around December 2009, so Goutman and Passanante had 9 months to wrap up ATWT. The cancellation was announced around December 2009, so Goutman and Passanante had 9 months to wrap up ATWT.

I agree. How interesting to see this Steve because he is so radically different from the Steve Aldrich I remember from the late 70s/early 80s. Both episodes were incredibly riveting and thought-provoking, especially the first episode with the scenes between Steve and Karen.

She definitely knew who Bert was. After all, Bert (with Kim Zimmer playing Charita Bauer) was a focus of GL's 70th anniversary episode and Wheeler was executive producer at that point. Plus, I thought Zimmer said in her book that Wheeler wanted to reboot GL back to its early days and call it The New Guiding Light. Zimmer was vague on the details for Wheeler's vision.

I'm still pissed that Bert Bauer didn't even get a mention in the last episode. What a travesty.

Detergent ad? No. And that title card predates Long. It was instituted when Doug Marland was writing and Allen Potter producing GL.

By 1983, she had only been nominated four times so it really wasn't a huge deal that she hadn't won. (Susan Seaforth Hayes had been nominated four times in the 70s and never won.) I don't recall the media paying much attention till the late 80s or early 90s.

No clue. I'm just pointing out when the show actually ended.

According to stuff online, Mama's Family ended in February 1990.

Retro started with episodes that originally aired back in December 1967. Fabiani appeared in episodes around February 1968. He plays the neighbor of hospital worker Liz Wilson who is in a dive hotel. He is very creepy, very menacing, yet strangely attractive in some way. To me, anyway! His character breaks into Liz's hotel room and then proceeds to scare the crap out of her. We were in Provincetown, MA in October when those episodes aired on Retro. It was riveting to watch with poor Liz having to go out on a ledge to try to escape Fabiani's character. I've caught a few episodes on Retro but mostly watch them online.

I think Rita Lakin started working on The Mod Squad in 1968 so it's possible Edelstein was hired as co-head because of her involvement with the other show.

Fabiani was pretty great as Liz Wilson's stalker on "The Doctors." He was menacing and creepy as hell.

I found a couple articles, including one that had other performers listed (Jayne Meadows, Peter Noone). But I just don't recall them appearing on the show.

Yep. In the last few months, KVIK had a game show titled "Texas Tall Tales" starring Stella Stanton.

I don't recall them appearing on Texas. I did a The Google search and came across a number of articles about their appearances. So maybe it did happen.

He does resemble Jack Armstrong, who also played Greg Nelson on AMC.

They were really excellent scenes and riveting to watch. At one point, Althea was on the phone with Lila Anderson and trying to intimidate her into coming into the hospital. Liz walked in during the phone conversation and seemed taken aback at Althea's tactics. Liz even called her out on intimidating a patient. Then, as I mentioned, Steve showed up and went on his tirade against Matt. Liz jumped to Steve's defense after Althea reamed him out. "He's tired and overworked," she argued. Althea wasn't having any of it. Steve's talk with Liz in the elevator about Althea and her yelling at him was quite interesting as it was clear that Stevie Boy has issues with women in authority.

I caught both episodes live yesterday. Y'all did miss a lot in the first episode. The emphasis was on Althea getting Lila Anderson to the hospital, where Lila continued to deny anything is wrong with her since she feels fine. Liz started her new assignment in the clinic and continued flirting up a storm with Steve, who tried to sneak a kiss while they were in the elevator. A petulant Steve showed up for work in the clinic where he proceeded to criticize Matt for his incompetence in front of both Althea and Liz. Steve was pissed that Matt allowed John and Karen time away from Hope Memorial because their absence means lots more work for the doctors. Althea reamed Steve out for criticizing Matt the way he did. Before he tried to snatch a kiss from Liz, Steve went on another rant about that "dame" Althea and the way she yelled at him. Great scenes!

In those clips of Josh Taylor as Quint, you can see the short-lived redesigned set for Company. The set was scrapped after just a few months.

Lynde was "let go" from Y&R? I thought she quit.

I got a chuckle with the caption accompanying the photo on the very bottom right calling Lovers and Friends a big hit. Yeah, right.

Joe Willmore. He was replaced later that spring by Robert Calhoun.

Rauch was executive producer when Zaslow was forced out. Conboy didn't arrive until the 2000s. He was hired around November/December 2002.

Watch again. You can clearly see waves crashing onto the beach.

I thought Marland was still at ATWT at that point. As I recollect, he wrote the ending to The Willows storyline, which culminated in December 1979.
