Today’s episode was rough, especially after losing a loved one recently. They were worked shooting as they say in wrestling. They were in character but every word said was raw and real from the cast at the funeral

Monday is gonna be even more heartbreaking. I’m finna go watch some Maury after I finish watching this episode cause I need an emotional pick me up

All these proposed soaps sound great. Why isn't anyone bringing these ideas back and pitching them?

I’m wondering the same thing. Ones like Union Place you could slightly tweak to reflect current day, everything else stays true to the concept. Put them out on the Internet/streaming services, we don’t need NBC, CBS, ABC anymore to get great soap ideas to the masses.

My only question is: would there be any pushback from using some of them? I’m sure a Union Place revamp could possibly see issues with the Labine family unless you break bread with them, since Claire came up with the concept/bible and all of that. I could be wrong, but it’s something that a young writer who would be interested in getting this out would possibly have to deal with

I’ve always wanted to know more about Union Place. Here’s a section of an interview where Claire Labine talks about it

John asks: I've read that you had developed and pitched a new soap to CBS during the years when you were away from RH. Was this an earlier version of what almost became your GH spinoff in the mid-90s, or was it something else? Can you tell us about it?
Claire Labine: Yes.  There were two, actually.  The first was one of the ones that could be a novel.  It was set on a horse farm in Kentucky.  It was called CELEBRATION. And it’s still around and it’s still alive.  The other was HEART & SOUL (aka Union Place). HEART & SOUL was about two families, one black, one white, both show business families.  The black family was three generations of jazz musicians.  Next door was a theatrical family.  The Brooklyn community was a big part of it, as well as a local radio station, some very colorful characters.  Matt (Labine) and I really loved it.  We had the first go around with it with ABC, then NBC, then ABC again.

These are likely all around somewhere in their full forms but someone gave them to me and I thought I may as well share. 

 

(not sure what the full date of the 1988 episode is)

OMG thank you so much for these!!!!! Classic Days is always a treat

So I'm on a JER run up until Passions (I'm on vacation for a week trying to relax and catch up on my classic soap backlog ) and I'm currently at his TGL era (which is amazing) and am fretting getting to late 1992/1993 cause I know that's when he went to DAYS

There really isn't much of his Days era online when it comes to full episodes. I'm sure this has to do with Sony/NBC/Corday Productions, but even in the Classic Y&R thread there is quite a plethora of retro episodes stemming back to the 80s, yet Days is also owned by Sony and almost nothing is around. It bums me out cause I grew up watching JER's first DAYS run and would like to see some of those episodes again, even if it's recut from different episodes 

Am I better off not trying to find this era or would someone be able to point me in the right direction to watch some of JER DAYS run #1?

Hello everyone new user here!

i just want to say thank you to everyone in here for all of their hard work putting up the retro stuff for everyone to watch. Between the retro episodes and the Crash Bandicoot collection that just dropped on Friday, I've been in nostalgia overload and just want to give my thanks to you all
