For sure that last return (which for me was actually my first time watching JJ since GV was playing the part when I started watching) wasn't good, but it least had some sort of plot. This version was just ambling around, very Josh Griffith. It never even got off the ground. And now we got Isaiah and Sidwell out of it.

That was Y&R levels of a waste of time. Even that Siobhan story BITD was better!

I was thinking that voice sounded a lot like June. If Barbara left behind a baby she could be her daughter or granddaughter (the way ages work on this show I have no idea how old June should be).

Fantastic final scene! What a twist. It's very old school Bill Bell in a way, it's a totally internal emotional psychodrama. It was clever to have Anita recite the end by heart. It's a bit convenient in the sense that Anita really didn't do anything wrong. It's not her fault if Barbara didn't have the right talent that Dante was looking for. She's not obligated to quit the group if Barbara was excluded. She wasn't wrong, it's a tough business, it is what it is. And yet the hurt came across and felt so real when Barbara said she was supposed to watch from the sidelines like she was never a part of it. But Anita was so cold, and she didn't have to do that and I buy that her guilt is eating her alive. It's actually incredibly cruel and manipulative to write a suicide letter like that. There's just a lot of layers. I hope we learn more about Dante. Look at what's going on with Diddy and the ugly side of the business. They could go to some dark places. He could have had an Ike Turner type of relationship with one of the band mates, or groomed a girl to try to replace Anita.

That makes sense because I've been reading 1991 Usenet recaps and they tend to call that version of lil Phillip "the blob" because he's 3 and never speaks lol.

Ashley looks like the Wicked Witch as little Victoria used to call her.

When you put it like that, wow! You had been posting lists of preemptions for all the shows from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Are they on your website anywhere? I was trying to save them in a document, but they were not all posted at the same time so I have gaps. I was wondering if you had the full list somewhere, even though it's not Days-related.

I was cracking up at how Silk Press tried to hump Not Ted's leg as soon as Kat walked in, but her cackling at the end is getting OTT.

Too bad! Maybe something will pop up on social media. Seems like a fun event.

Thanks for this info! Is this going to stream anywhere?

That is amazing and incredibly random, whatever nut that called in that bomb threat in 1973, if he's still alive, has no idea the confusion he'd created for soap fans 50 years later. 🤣 Amazing research skills!!! I'm in awe, seriously! 😊

Thank you, been waiting so long for this, and I appreciate how much work it is typing this all out and creating the charts for us! 😊

It's just funny to me because I hate spoilers but I can always read the Y&R spoiler thread with confidence, knowing no plot will be revealed, because there is no plot.

A new table at Crimson Lights?! Such exciting May sweeps spoilers here. Hot stuff.

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.

I'll be optimistic. Something's gotta give and she usually produces a more action-oriented show. I'm not saying she's good, but she's better than what we have. What's the worst she can do, burn the ranch down again?

That sucks if the other CBS shows are new. Maybe they struck a deal like the unions did with ABC daytime to air less episodes overall per year. I'm sure it will be Ted and Nicole's anniversary party, even though they recast Ted.

Part of me honestly wonders if Rory was chosen because he had the best audition or because Robert Adamson complained about not being given a shot at the permanent role, so they took on a different Noah, lol.

I'm like a week behind, did the special ep have old clips or just talking? Let me guess, Lauren and Michael who totally have their own home, decided to get a room at the GCAC...

🤣

Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!

Thank you @Paul Raven The Kay/Kill stuff sounds like fire. @soapfan770 I saw someone asking about old episodes you had... in case anyone has old tapes but not a VCR, DM me, I am willing to convert them for free.

Agreed, that's nice!

Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

Thanks!
