P&G never cared about the shows they produced (and still don't) they only cared about selling product/ad revenue. Unfortunately they made the majority of shows on the air. Many of which were broadcast live until the late 70's. Once the shows stopped serving their purpose they dismantled them and threw them away. I think for P&G, soaps were an advertising tool and nothing more. 

Sony seems to have saved both Days and Y&R from the beginning of each

Obviously Colgate-Palmolive saved The Doctors which I was suprised by.

Agnes' production company Creative Horizons saved B&W kinescope copies of OLTL and AMC but those were almost all lost in a fire and ABC didn't start saving eps until I think 1976ish and only because Agnes demanded it. Not sure about ABC saving GH. I doubt it as they were struggling to survive until the late 70's and hardly had the money and resources to archive shows prior to their boom years that started around 1976/77 (in terms of prime time anyway).

The others I am not sure.

Dan Curtis Productions had DS. I don't know about the rest, either.

The NBA had to postpone several games today, probably more to come. They probably wish they were in a bubble.

Did Pete and Diana just leave town after their wedding? Anne Rose Brooks moved on to play SORASED Stephanie Aldrich on The Doctors only to again find herself out of a job when the show was canceled.

She does have a great sense of humor. Keep it going, Krista!!

This is what I've been saying for years, but the people in charge are all asleep at the wheel. 

Much like actual politicians...

No love for Santa Barbara here? When it was good, it was awesome! (And when it was bad, a la the last year or two, it was painful.) still, it seemed to get a lot of love and a cult following for only 8.5 years on the air.

I think they packed so much story in that time that SB seemed that it lasted longer than 8.5 years.

I love how dramatic this photo is:

I still wonder about shows like Texas and Capitol, that had relatively brief runs, comparatively. There are streaming platforms for everything these days. Streaming a show like Capitol wouldn't take much, unless the archive has deteriorated.

If ever a soap from the 1980s would be relevant right now, it would be Capitol.

There's some ironic amusement that the producers of Mansion of the Damned, A View from the Bay, and Erica Kane's autobiography chose to make those films in little towns like Monticello, Bay City, and Pine Valley, but nobody suspected that they may be con men, when it would have been easier, and cheaper, to produce them on a Hollywood soundstage.

It just boggles the mind!!

Is it true there was a Youtube channel a few yrs ago that posted nearly every Y&R episode but was then taken down?

I think several channels got taken down.

April to September, 1982

Thanks. I mostly remember Tracy Brooks Swope as one of several ill-fated girlfriends on Starsky & Hutch.

Now that's huge.

Thank you. Joanna Miles did go on to win a Primetime Emmy in 1974 for The Glass Menagerie.

It's definitely considered a good year for the show (I believe it even earned the title of Most Improved or Best Show by SOD). IMHO the last half of 1989 especially is good, and it's the start of the last golden era of the show, lasting up until 93. 

It was named Most Improved Show in 1989.

Beautiful  actress Tracey Brooks Swopes from Where the Heart Is and actress Barbara Baxley came on as Kristine and Patricia Wylie in 1982, same as the Sheas. Kristine dated Jamie. AW didn't have a lasting new family until 83 with the Loves and the family formed by Cass/Felicia/Wallingford.

Thank you. How long did the Wylies last?

Joe Manchin should just switch parties already. Yes, we'd be stuck with Turtle again, but at least we would be held hostage by the devil we know instead of having "I got my yacht, screw you!" Lucy Van Pelt football holder Manchin.

I think I hate Manchin as much as Turtle right now.

And Chuck Schumer is WORTHLESS as Senate Majority Leader. Say what you will about Turtle, and I have, but HE knew how to whip his party into line for his evil ideas. Chuck is WEAK.

You are so right about all of this. DINO, indeed!!

The Sheas and Wylies were out in under a year. Loretta Shea, Pete's mom was blown up (Anita Gillette)

Thanks. I don't even remember the Wylies.

His character, Pete Shea married Diana IIRC.

Thanks. Weren't the Sheas one of the many AW families that didn't catch on?
