It would have played better to this audience member. Although I thought all of the crossovers should have been temporary with the characters going back to Bay City eventually.

That works for me!

They could have broken up Jake and Vicky and a single Jake could have stayed in Oakdale. Killing off Vicky was lazy writing and a lack of respect for Another World and had nothing to with Jensen's contract issues.

When I first saw the announcement about the Jagger recast I thought it was the first change from Patrick Mulcahey. I was so relieved to see it happening now. There are many characters I would like to see return but Jagger is not one of them.

I was able to read it and found it very interesting. It also gave us some insight into Patrick Mulcahey. Thank you @TonksIsHere

Oh wow. I am stepping back. Things are gonna get ugly.

🤣

So who here thinks Linda Borgeson was not only the best Alice Matthews but also the best actress to ever appear on Another World? 😀

My memory may be a bit off but I think the rewrite was that Cecile hooked up with Cass outside of Bay City while she was also involved with Sandy and Jamie. When Cass arrived in 1982 Elena mentioned that the Winthrop and DePoulignac families were old friends. As much as I hated the rewrite and was happy when it was undone Cass and Cecile did know each before he moved to Bay City. I will try to find his intro episode on YouTube to see if I remember correctly. At 9:20 Elena mentions a past with Cass’ father.

All complete failures and missed opportunities to bring back popular characters.

Thank you! A big wasted opportunity to fix one of the show's biggest blunders.

Did Christopher Goutman or Leah Laiman ever say if Anne O'Donnell was originally supposed to turn out to be Frankie Frame? I thought maybe they changed this due to the show's cancellation because what was the point of brining Alice Barrett back for the mess of a storyline we got!!??

Linda Dano! Now it’s a party.

I looked on YouTube but have not been able to locate it there.

Thanks Donna. I have not been able to watch the special in Canada so I appreciate the recap!

Thanks jcar03.

Great job. Thanks for doing this. Is there a list of the all time episode counts anywhere?

Watching the clips of Shirley Anne Field reminded me how much I enjoyed her version of Pamela. I definitely preferred her over Marj Dusay.

Yet somehow the neck tie murderer story inspired Ron Carlivati to turn Ben into the young romantic lead of the show. And the producers and network said yes what a great idea!

Ada's visit to the Shea home was on camera beginning at 22:14.

It is absolutely ridiculous that Ellen was not brought back. TPTB really acted like they hated the show's history and the previous actors who were popular.

I have subscribed to the digital edition for the last several years. I only read about 20% of each issue so I decided not to renew my subscription. I followed the link in my renewal notification email and of course there was no cancellation option. I used the contact customer service option 3 times and did not get a response. Then one day the cancellation button appeared. I clicked on it and a successful message came up on my screen. My credit card was then charged for the renewal!! Ridiculous!

Thank you! I do not remember what Mavis' connection was. It looks like I need to start watching again. I left off at episode 50 a few years ago.

Does anyone know if Lurlene's husband Joel Walker was related to original characters (and Reena's cousins) Samantha and Bart Walker?

I enjoyed those characters and actors as well. Casting Robert Hogan finally made Vince likeable.
