It is disappointing to hear that you did not find the first episode of Beyond the Gates to be as compelling as the 1954 premiere of The Secret Storm.

I absolutely LOVE BTG! The production, writing, characters and the casting are all brilliant. The episode went by way too fast. I am glad the first episode was used to introduce the characters and main storylines. Especially seeing how the 3 generations of the core family interact. It did not need to be over the top and action packed.

CHCH.com is working and I am able to stream BTG live.

I am not sure overloading a Hamilton based tv station website would be considered breaking the internet but if the demand is high in Canada it may lead to one of the major networks here buying the rights.

That would be great news for the show. But I am going to be so envious of everyone else getting to watch the first episode live!

Ok so it is not just me. Hoping it gets resolved in 18 minutes!

The issue is the site is not loading for any of their live feed. Regardless of their streaming rights for BTG. Whether or not I can access BTG via their website remains to be seen and I would not be surprised if I cannot.

I did. I don't have much faith that they will get back to me any time soon.

I am in Canada and was planning on streaming BTG Iive on CHCH.com. However, the website is not loading. It was loading fine an hour ago. I hope it is because the demand for BTG has overwhelmed the site and it gets fixed in the next 45 minutes!

I’m in Canada and I was able to watch them on YouTube. correction: I was able to watch the versions posted on YouTube by Entertainment Tonight. Not the CBS ones.

I do not agree about Lenore Kasdorf's Caroline was a dud on Santa Barbara. The Dobson's created a character with an interesting backstory and Lenore had great chemistry with Nicolas Coster. Caroline had the potential to be a long term Lockridge matriarch but Anne Howard Bailey screwed all of that up and then killed Caroline and wrote out the Lockridges.

Thank you for providing these links. I am completely impressed by everything I have seen so far. Just wow!

Was it Kobe and Long who also brought Texas actors Jerry Lanning and Lisby Larson to Guiding Light?

DePriest really ended the Sally & Catlin story horribly. Instead of killing Sally she should have had her find out that Catlin got Brittany pregnant and left town with Kevin. Brittany could then have been written as getting her strength back and leaving Peter and starting a new life outside of Bay City. Sharon Gabet deserved to end her run with her character having some dignity.

Interesting!

I just finished reading the Somerset thread on here and it looks like Marsha has story of her own.

The Another World Homepage does not list Alice Hirson as being one of the cross over actors who appeared on Another World before or after the launch of Somerset.

An original cast member has passed away. https://soapoperanews.net/2025/02/15/alice-hirson-dies-gh-oltl-alum-was-95/

I just finished this entire thread. I only began watching in 1982 so I knew very little about the first 12 years.Thanks to all of you for filling in the blanks. In my opinion the biggest mistake Agnes and her protégés made was not giving Anne, Linc and Chuck a few children each. The Tyler’s were fascinating and entertaining. The Kanes and Martins were prominent at the end but there were no Tyler’s left in Pine Valley.

On the reboot did they explain how Billy Clyde survived the explosion that supposed killed him? I thought his dead body had washed up and was found.

I have no intel. I suspect the organizer got in over her head. Also, in all fairness she did say she had a few deaths in her family so I can see how that could impact her ability to finalize everything.

I have not received my video. I reached out to Karen last October and she was very unpleasant. She told me she was providing updates on social media and I told her I do not follow her so those updates are useless to me. She offered me a refund which I declined because I want the video. I have not heard a thing from her since.

Thanks Slick!

I noticed that as well. It makes me a bit concerned for her.
