Another World Discussion Thread
I was born in 1972 and my earliest memories are from 1977. - I only saw David Bailey as Russ and did not remember him when he returned in 1989. I would say the majority of fans prefer Sam Groom. - I loved Charlie and he is the only one I remember. He should not have been killed off. There is a list of characters who should not have been killed off for another discussion. I wish I could remember Dolph Sweet's Gil because I was a huge fan of Gimme a Break. - Janice # 2 (Christine Jones) was delicious. I did not see Victoria Thompson in the role. Anna Holbrook's Sharlene was a favourite of mine. I have no memory of Laurie Heineman. I do wish they would have brought back Heineman in 1988 and created a new role for Anna. Another World did way too much unnecessary recasting. That is yet another separate discussion. - I have no memory of any of them except for Cass and Brian. Paul Stevens (Brian) is part of actors who I think of as my Another World so he is at the top for me. But Bay City would not have been the same with Cass.

“But I was also taught a great lesson the first month I was at ANOTHER WORLD by Connie Ford, who played Ada. I had written a final tag speech in one of the crucial scenes. And when I got to the rehearsal, Connie cut the entire speech and did just one line from it. Now she was a wonderful actress, a very laconic actress, and didn’t need a lot of language. And I realized something: you write to what the actor does. And I never overwrote a scene for her again.” I would consider this changing her lines. He wrote to what the actor does unless he did not like the actor. We Love Soaps: Harding Lemay Interview: Part Two

Harding Lemay makes it quite clear in Eight Years in Another World and in interviews that he did not respect Dwyer and Courtney’s talent. They were “soap” actors and he preferred stage actors. He was more than fine with Constance Ford changing Ada’s lines but was insulted when Dwyer did it. I loved Lemay’s Another World but so many of his new characters only lasted 1-2 years. In my opinion getting rid of Courtney and Dwyer were the biggest blunders in the shows history. And there were many blunders.

ALL: "Soapy" Podcast hosted by Rebecca Budig & Greg Rikaart
I love Deidre Hall. But I felt she was a bit dismissive and cold towards Rebecca Budig. Did anyone else notice this? I may have read the vibe incorrectly.

Ken Corday was not the Executive Producer when Renee was killed. That would have been Betty Corday and Al Rabin.

Texas! Discussion Thread
I just watched Gretchen Oehler's (Vivien) first episode. She immediately brought a much needed spark of energy and humour to Texas. Jim Poyner and Beverlee lit up in their reunions with her. Vivien and Paige instantly disliking each other was hilarious. This show is finally really good. I am not looking forward to the big changes that will soon happen with the exit of the Corringtons.

DAYS: Y&R actor joins as recast
I was really hoping we would get a break from Chad and the dominance of the DiMera's. I like Conner Floyd but he should be playing Jeremy Horton not Chad.

ALL: Your first soap watching memory
AW 1977 - Burt McGowan arriving at Ada’s house to tell her Gil had died. AW 1977-78 - I have flashes of the Sven Peterson story. He killed Rocky Olsen and I believe young Denis and Jamie found his body. Maybe in the boathouse. Sven then kidnapped Rachel and kept her captive in a building on the Cory property I think. I was 5 years old and the story was terrifying. The next time I saw Roberts Blossom (Sven) onscreen was as Kevin ‘s scary neighbour in Home Alone. He played scary very well.

Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread
Completely agree. This is a huge blunder. At least I now have an extra hour in my day. I have watched my last episode for a while at least.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
I thought Sorel left because she was disgusted with the Dobson’s writing Augusta fantasizing about her sister’s rapist. The assumption is that she is speaking about Rauch here? We Love Soaps: One of the things that has been hard for me as a soap viewer over the past decade or so is to constantly see these decisions being made that we don’t agree with. Louise Sorel: You just don’t know what’s going on. A lot of politicking. In my case, [pause] I know what the reason was. Let’s say it was not a professional reason. And I don’t respect that. If you really come to blows with somebody, and they’re doing awful things then that’s whatever. But this had nothing to do with the show.
