I didn't miss anything, but it looks like the 1/22/91 GL "breakout" episode would most likely have been re-aired the following day. On 1/22/91, GL only aired for 22 minutes (3-314 & 321-329PM). My guess is they re-aired it the next day (and even then there were a lot of preemptions). On 1/23/91, it only aired from 339-4PM (21 minutes), so actually the second half of the 1/22/91 episode that didn't air anywhere.

 

So I would say 1/22/91 is the likely full preemption.

This could be it. This partial post suggests it was preempted on 1/22/91!

I might have caught the preemption for ATWT and missed it when checking on GL, so if you see something for ATWT that looks like it also preempted GL for that time frame, let me know. I remember that happening once I think with AMC, but I caught that omission and added the preemption to the AMC list.

Coming back to this, I found these two possible ATWT preemptions that I couldn't eliminate because there were no times listed. Nothing from 1992 or 1993 seems to fit.

Can you double check if GL was preempted on these days?

Yes the the recaps that BoldRestless posted are great.
The original clip of her viewing the baby through the glass is here:
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65466-yr-return/?do=findComment&comment=1880352

One funny thing about those recaps is seeing the depth of her relationship with Neil (he's right by her side when Cole comes in to tell her the baby died), which is absolutely never mentioned today, and now she's dating his nephew and they are treated as peers.

If you want all the details, I posted the recaps in the spoiler thread (guess it's not a spoiler now that Cole has aired)

Yeah I know but ...

Sometimes I feel like some of us viewers are like Charlie Brown . . . and Josh Griffith is Lucy holding the football for us to kick, promising that *this* time .... but Lucy always pulls the football away at the last minute.

The pacing of the show is just all wrong. It manages to be too rushed and too slow all at the same time.

Would anyone know the air dates for Traci vs Lauren cat fights in 1983 & 1984?

So you have any in mind? I don't think that was their type of relationship. I think the banana split incident was 7/1/83 but it's only a short clip. But usually it was Lauren saying terrible things and taunting Traci with food.

I get that PIs are a soap staple, but is that a viable career in 2023, or is it like being a telephone operator?

I mean, can't characters just Google each other for background information, and use web cams to follow each other?

Perhaps he could start a web security business, to stop viruses and online threats?  That seems a bit more modern.

Good idea. It's already been established that he knows how to code.

Paul also did security. IIRC, George Rawlins hired him for that initially. Chance could do that too. Maybe act as a bodyguard for some of the imperiled women, lol.

Oh hell no at that promo. Is that Thorsten's OLTL days? Ridge never looked like that! Pathetic.

Wow, a Kevin sighting! Very nice photos.

Hmm, the later ones from 1992 and 1993 I did from a different list, where I just checked the calendar dates, so I could have possibly missed a random date somewhere. When I start doing the remainder of the 1992 and 1993 books, that should be caught if I missed something.

 

I'll be on the lookout. I'm sure it'll get figured out.

Is my math off or could there be a missing Guiding Light preemption or double numbered episode somewhere?

According to random script covers:
Episode #10900 aired on 5/3/90 and 
Episode #11711 aired on 8/10/93. 

I know that sometimes the script date turns out to be wrong, if there was an unaccounted for preemption before the airdate, but I don't see anything like that during those periods (just sports and holidays). There's also confirmation here that #11,421 aired on 6/12/92 https://glmanny.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/gl-40th-anniversary-special-1992/ (I am assuming the Primetime special doesn't get an episode number, since it was behind the scenes, not an episode - but who knows!)

When I try to chart out the numbers, I think we need one more preemption to make the dates work? I don't think CBS was doing holiday classic episodes yet as of 1993.

What's the air date in 1985 when Nikki/Jack had an affair and Victor arrives home early?

1/29/86. She calls out to prove Victor isn't home and is sh!tting her pants when he responds.

And the man who "gave" Nikki that chronic illness is the same man who is writing this current story.

See, that's why I said saddling Nikki with MS was a bad idea.

Plus, everyone talking about Victor's mental slowdown and no mention of him having epilepsy in the past.
