Wow, this is great! Thanks for posting @watson71. It's always great when a "new" episode gets found. Not only did the show go overboard with new characters in 1982, it also did seem to be take a much darker turn, even darker than the year before. It'll probably forever be an unsolved mystery, but I'd love to know what Corinne Jacker and Paul Rauch thought they were doing, or tried to do with this year. I know Jacker was quoted in saying that she hated her time on AW, but my question is why did she hate it? I also find it interesting how Loretta was killed in the middle of an episode instead of at the end.

Well... I guess I do need to get back to the doctor's office lol

Yes 😂

Not often, but I saw a word that I liked 😂😂

All this talk of hunky male nurses in the Covid thread... 😍😂

You never know, somebody may get the idea someday 😂

Any word on who the recast is going to be? Or is it really going to be Daniel Goddard?

I knew you'd like 😂 There's quite a resemblance

That's what I thought too when I saw the clips of them together and little Johnny wanting them to be his mom and dad. I'm guessing that had Nina Laemmle stayed a little longer, that might've happened.

Yeah, to me it just didn't seem necessary, especially considering that were already divorced and were not getting back together. And agreed on DH handling the rape very well. She was amazing... and not a gasp or deep breath in sight lol

Since there haven't been any new Chandler pics lately, here's a lookalike for ya, @Soapsuds 😂

Been watching some old Don and Marlena clips lately including the ones where Don “raped” her. In the scene, Don grabs Marlena, throws her on the bed and kisses her. He then realizes what he’s doing and lets her go. Marlena then proceeds to grab him and pull him back on top of her. Subsequent scenes between the two of them show that it was not considered rape by anyone and even the Tune in Tomorrow synopses describe it as a one night stand. I think that nowadays it would cause a pretty serious debate as to whether it was rape or not.

Well... the list of places that I need to visit just keeps getting longer and longer 😂

Thank you 😀 I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure Carl was first married to a woman named Barbara and they had Perry. I guess around that time was when he slept with Justine and got her pregnant with Ryan. Judging from what I've read, I'd say Perry was older than Ryan, but that they were close in age. He then divorced Barbara and married Donna. They then divorced. When Carl first came to Bay City, he was dating Felicia. Idk why they broke up though. He and Donna then briefly reunited but I think it was all just a scheme so that Carl could embezzle the Love fortune. Carl then "died" in Arizona. Years later, he found about Ryan and tried to redeem himself. He then married Rachel and they had Cory and Elizabeth.

So basically, that was a very busy few years for the Love, Hudson and McKinnon families. In that short amount of time... Michael got the job as stable boy at the Love Estate Mary got the job as a maid Mary gave birth to Ben Donna met Michael and John Donna slept with Michael and got pregnant (and was also raped by John) Reginald ran Michael out of town and locked Donna up in the secret room, sent Elizabeth to Europe and told everyone Donna was with her Michael and John went to Vietnam John "died" in Vietnam Michael changed his family name from Garrison to Hudson Donna gave birth to Vicky and Marley. Reginald gave Vicky away, and raised Marley as his daughter Mary gave birth to Cheryl Reginald starts sleeping with Mary Elizabeth starts sleeping with Jason Frame Elizabeth was murdered, which Mary supposedly witnessed Mary breaks off the affair with Reginald, falls for his yacht and loses her memory Reginald fakes his death with the poison dust and he and Mary go off to Paraguay and adopt Scott. And while all of that was happening, at some point Reginald (whose name was originally Brandon) was in business with Carl and Chris Chapin's father over the Egyptian treasure that somehow got hidden in the Arizona desert. All of this does kind of prove that you really do need a continuity person when there's so much turnaround behind the scenes. Feel free to add any plot points that I might've missed.

You're right lol there should have been someone maintaining the logic but you could tell that there wasn't judging by all the plot holes, rewrites, etc. Scott's whereabouts for the first three years of his life were completely dropped once the storyline was rewritten. All he knew at first was that his biological parents were from Bay City. And I think it was revealed that the photo of John holding the twins was doctored because I remember Donna saying that both Michael and John had already gone to Vietnam when Vicky and Marley were born.

Thanks for the info! I wonder if Tomlin and Poteet-Lisanti were trying to do a "ripped from the headlines" story with surrogacy, as opposed to Maggie having an affair and getting pregnant.

Idk that much about it either, but it sounds confusing. Maggie was gonna be a surrogate, but then she decided to keep the baby. And then she didn't know who the father was for a while, I think. And then she thought she was going to have twins, but Neil made the wrong diagnosis or something. It sounds convoluted lol

I don't get what they were going for with Maggie/Kyle either. Especially considering that Tomlin/Poteet-Lisanti were the ones who gave Maggie a child. It would have a lot more sense if they had had an affair and Maggie got pregnant, as opposed to the surrogate mother stuff. And were they planning on making Jessica, the young ingenue at this time?

This is new. I've never seen this before. Thanks for finding it!

I love the creativity in this thread. A lot of us probably could do just as good or even better than some of the current writers. I'm glad that I made this thread

😍😂😂
