I never forgot when Katherine mentioned to Phillip that Chance was raised by Ryan, which stunned me because the show acted as if he hadn't existed for years. Don't get me started when I believe Nina was Phillip's cheerleader when Phillip saw a cute guy, I want to say, at Crimson Lights. And after only a few weeks of her being upset, he abandoned her with a young child; she was acting as his wing person.

We should've saw Mariah and Tessa's adoption story actually taking place on screen while Faith could've dealt with PTSD after being kidnapped by Cameron. Heck it could've had her relapse with alcohol again too.

Great idea for a topic. @SamandWillowFan ATWT Hope Dixon: Kim's only grandchild should've been on canvas. Maybe we would've gotten some appearances from Scott Defreitas and Cassandra Creech as Andy and Denise. Not to mention, Larry Bryggman might've come back sooner than the last few months before the finale if John's granddaughter was on the show. She could've been in the mix with Parker and Faith since she and the latter were switched at birth, so much story could've been played from that. She could've built a close bond with her honorary great-grandmother Nancy too. And I can hear Kim calling Hope "Kiddo" when she got too fresh. The Ward Quads: You would think that the way Emily and Allison were featured in the last several years, someone would discover they have cousins that our quadruplets have and at least bring one female and one male to be someone's love interest. But nope! Bianca Marquez Walsh - Imagine if Lucinda could've gotten frequent visits from her adoptive daughter. And Bianca could've became more confident, having no problem to tell Lily to get her head out of her you know what when needed. B&B Mary Warwick and Diana Carter - I don't understand why Brad Bell doesn't bring back Sheila's daughters. Especially since it would give Kimberlin more to do than serve rigatoni and wine and try to be menacing. Perhaps Sheila looks online and finds out that Diana is set to inherit millions because Massimo died. Or Mary comes on staff at the hospital, following in her father's footsteps, and is a psychiatrist. Eric Forrester III/ Deacon "Little D" Sharpe - This show comes off as Hope is Deacon's only child, but they need to bring on Deacon's son, who should be older than Hope, and make him a chip off the old block. And we know that, being raised around Tawny, she said all kinds of things to him about him being the spare to his sister's heir. DAYS Jeremy Horton -It's been years since Jeremy was on there; he can be brought back slightly aged down and rehabbed mostly, and he is now a doctor with an ego but has infected his family's social consciousness. Besides, this show needs more Hortons, especially those with the surname. Sydney DiMera - I would have her a rebellious mess like her mother but isn't timid to use her name to get her out of situations. GH Serena Baldwin - Every time I see Scotty and Lucy on my screen, it makes it noticeable that their children aren't with them. (Yes, I know Christina doesn't "exist," but in my headcanon, she does and is a doctor.) There's so much you can do with her. Since they said she's into causes, bring her on as a fundraising coordinator at General Hospital or a pro-bono attorney. Dillon Quartermaine (Hornsby) - Since Tracy and Lucy are feuding, what if Tracy brings her youngest son back to work at Deception as head of digital media since his minor success as a director didn't pan out? He and Serena can initially bump heads, but eventually for each other, while Scotty, Lucy, and Tracy would be against it due to their sordid histories with one another. Tommy Hardy - Last mentioned during the show's 50th anniversary he was graduating from medical school. I mean if you want to restore more legacy onto this show then bring back Steve and Audrey's grandson and Tom and Simone's son. He can be a pediatrician like his mother. (With all these kids under 10 running around the show needs it.) And besides Liz can always use more family on screen too. Y&R Too many to name unfortunately, this show with The Young in its title should have more characters under the age of 35. Why aren't Noah and Audra mixing it up with Audra? While Reed comes home to get to know the sister, he thought was dead before he was born, why is Lucy not being fought over by Johnny and Connor? Or why isn't her biological mother, Daisy, coming back? Or Johnny discovering the way he was conceived? So much potential is being wasted. Karina Arroyave

Don't forget not just only he was there when Marina was born but Mallet was her godfather. And not to mention Alan-Michael could've been her father but was also married to her Aunt Harley and Aunt Lucy.

Great Find! Wish more episodes of Family Affairs would pop up.

I love it when episodes of Generations get uploaded.

It was so many other legacy characters waiting in the wings to be brought back in the 2000's but you know Goutman wasn't going to do that. Christina Hughes could've been mentored by her cousin Tom in the legal profession. Imagine a rebellious teenage Hope Dixon turning up at Grandma Kim and Grandpa Bob's house, tiring of being "ignored" by Andy and Denise, who she had split her time with. Not to mention, they could've at least brought two of the four Ward quads back. Imagine the Stewarts getting some representation. The male one could've been a love interest for Luke, while the female one could've been a mess like Cousin Emily was back in the day. But nope, we get to watch Janet Cicone's backstory and half of Wendy Riche's General Hospital on canvas instead. 😓

I too wish they would've mentioned Jessica and how her death impacted Cricket, not to mention her brother and the fact that Lauren was there and no mention of Scott. But then she was like, "You've been like an "aunt" to Fen, and I was like, she's the actual aunt of your eldest son, Lauren. Not to mention how her rape inspired her to become a lawyer and how she worked for legal aid, but of course this is a set-up of Cricket, Danny, and Phyllis 30 years later, which hardly anyone wants to see. I said on Twitter that Doug is going to get his 50 cents of residual soon enough. 😂

I spotted an episode of Capitol from 1983 had been uploaded.

Some additional soap music cues from Another World and Days of Our Lives. Sorry for the iffy sound quality. Another World Music Cue - Made with Clipchamp.mp4 Another World Music Cue # 2.mp4 DOOL Old School Music Cue # 1 - Made with Clipchamp.mp4 DAYS Music Cue #2 - Made with Clipchamp.mp4

Came across an episode of Generations from 1989. Don't know if anyone had seen them online yet.

This episode of Riverdale has been online for years. Wish it was more of the episodes out there. Riverdale was created by Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn, best known, of course, for creating and producing the Degrassi franchise. I instantly recognize Melissa DiMarco, who will go on to play Principal Hatziklakos for many years on Degrassi. And one of the older women played Aunt Agatha on the Canadian children's TV show Noddy, which I used to watch on TVOKids in Michigan growing up.

I know this doesn't qualify as a primetime soap; however, it did star Daytime alums Kim Delaney and the late Dixie Carter. It's the unaired pilot of Sudbury, a.k.a. "Practical Magic," the 1998 movie that starred Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. The latter was an executive producer on it. I read it would've aired on CBS.

I've never seen this either. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I also believe Amelia Marshall (Gilly Grant later Speakes) was an under five I believe on Guiding Light until they decided to do more with her.

Some unaired pilots I came across which starred Regina King, Paige Turco, Kelli WIlliams, Garcelle Beauvais, Reba McEntire, Eric Roberts, Debbie Allen, Lucy Lawless, Gabrielle Union, etc.,

Jennifer Ashe is going to be on Alan's show on September 1st, at 3PM ET.

This is pretty much my sentiment on this upcoming Mariah and Tessa story. At this point, I'll go with Summer and Chance because Sharon deserves better than bland Chance, which is sad due to his lineage of Nina, Jill, Katherine, Phillip, and Ryan. And this would be the third cop Sharon has fallen for in a decade. Where are the next generation? I'm hoping with Lucy staying on canvas throughout the summer. This show would decide to keep her long-term and eventually bring back Johnny and Connor aged up so they can build a teen scene around them. And don't get me started on these convoluted company mergers which we have no idea what these companies even do anymore. This show is sadly circling the drain with characters and stories too.

Katie should be a hot mess like Victoria was at her age when in Heather Tom was in the role. I also think that Johnny and Connor should be aged up to 15 at this point. And throw in Lucy and you can have the next generation. But will this show in budget mode and in creativity crisis allow it?

Paul Robinson - Neighbours Wives Terry Inglis (1985–1986) Gail Lewis (1987–1989) Christina Alessi (1991–2005) Lyn Scully (2006–2009) Rebecca Napier (2009–2012)[2][3] Terese Willis (2019– Charity Dingle Tate Sharma Macey Boyd - Emmerdale Husbands Chris Tate (2001–2003) Jai Sharma (2012–2014) Declan Macey (2014–2015) Mackenzie Boyd (2023–present)

I was having that problem too.

Something tells me Audra created an identity to be suitable for corporate America. I could see her thinking perhaps her real surname is "too ethnic," and she was having a hard time getting hired until she decided to change it, and that's when Tucker came through. Maybe she tried to send money home to her working-class family but feeling she had turned her back on not only them but their culture, they told her to stop sending it if it meant she continued with this facade. I wouldn't mind if eventually they brought on a younger brother or sister and perhaps a salt of the earth mother who has no problem reminding Audra where she comes from.

Does anyone have a current link for the classic episodes?

Well, she still exists. I think they said she was a lawyer in Texas (Amarillo?) doing immigration law. But I do wish Taggert would mention "Aunt Gia" to Trina in relation to her relationship with Spencer more. But you would think that in all those years that Portia and Taggert were together, he would mention his little sister being engaged to an heir of a Russian-Greco-Maglamaniac royal family. And Portia being like, I don't think so, and going from there, but of course now it's because she thinks Spencer is a bad example, and now the fact that Curtis was shot with the bullet possibly meant for his uncle Sonny instead. Even though Trina's best friend was Sonny's stepdaughter for years and her mother was best friends with his hitman. She wasn't in any danger during those times they were hanging out.
