I’ll be watching. Jane is good but I haven’t really liked any of the contestants lol

Disney! I can imagine the big smile on his face (and yours) lol 😂😂

I think that might have been rewritten by Elizabeth Harrower or Nina Laemmle or someone and Donna really did turn out to be Don's daughter after all.

Nah. Ron is the biphobic one. His first bi character was a murderer and his first bi actor may be playing a rapist. He came on last week

She briefly appeared on Passions

@beebs that was the best rant I've ever read lol I can see why the ratings dropped a little at this time. The change from years of psychological realism under Bell and Falken Smith to melodrama must have been quite jarring.

Corrected. Thank you.

Ray Liotta (Joey, AW, 1978-81) Kyra Sedgwick (Julia, AW, 1982-83) Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Maggie, AW, 1995) Clayton Norcross (Thorne, B&B, 1987-89) Drake Hogestyn (John, DOOL, 1986-2009, 2011-) Bryan Dattilo (Lucas, DOOL, 1993-2011, 2012-)

Was it true that she dumbed most of the characters down during her tenure? I know that she was the one who wrote Samantha locking Marlena in a sanitarium and taking her place, which I don't understand how they pulled off. Identical or not, Marlena and Samantha (Deidre and Andrea) can clearly be told apart.

Don't give a [!@#$%^&*] about politics. Just here to offer my condolences to @Soapsuds Stay strong, man.

Thanks! If that was the original plan, it was probably changed when Joe Mascolo left. I think Craig being Chloe's father didn't come out until after Tom Langan left and Brash and Cwikly replaced him.

Just watched the Coronation massacre. It was crazy and OTT but it was directed really well. And all the cameos from all the popular soap stars were fun to see. I miss when soaps had money. Also, was Stefano originally gonna turn out to be Chloe's father? The writers really seemed to have established a good relationship between the two of them.

Morgan was Eileen's brother. From what I've read, he had a crush on Sally and that was about it.

They probably were supposed to be, but with Corinne Jacker not knowing how to write a soap, (and I'm sure Paul Rauch was in panic mode at this time), they really had no chance.

It probably is this lol They had a character named Peter (Pete) Shea, but then introduced Peter Love three months after the first Peter left.

Yeah. Ben Masters played Vic Strang. He was going to direct the movie based on Jamie's book. He had flings with Cecile, and then Julia. I think the problem with Pete and Diana was the writing as well. From what I've read, it seems like there was no pacing for them and they were just rushed into a romance which is probably why they were a bust. According to the synopses, they met in December 1981 but by February, they already wanted to get married. That's way too fast even for established characters; with brand new ones, there was no chance.

Wow! Thanks for posting! 1982 was definitely one of AW's worst years, but at the same time I'd love to learn more about it and see more of it.

Yeah. There are 4 posted on Youtube March 6, 1979 - John’s death October 11, 1979 - Joey’s case is dismissed November 21, 1979 - Joey and Eileen’s wedding, Angie breaks up with Willis August 1, 1980 - Last 90 minute episode, Beverlee McKinsey’s last appearance, Russ and Tracy’s wedding Theres a lot of short clips too but those are the only full episodes

Robert came back briefly in 1980 and tried to reconnect with Cory, which caused problems for Clarice and Larry. Olivia followed him to Bay City and got a job at the hospital. Olivia couldn't have children and that's what broke up her and Robert.

Interesting. I wonder how this is going to play out

1) Robert was said to have married Olivia after he left Bay City, after he divorced Iris. 2) Robert had an affair with Carol Lamonte. And I think Carol started investigating into Walter's past, which is why Lenore decided to leave. 3) I think Clarice kept her pregnancy a secret from Robert at first because of Iris' threats and she eventually told them. I don't think they were a couple for that long either. And you're correct about Cory and Wally. Why they didn't age Cory at the same time that they aged Nancy, I'll never know.

Alexis lied and Sammy Jo overheard it. Blake was Fallon's father.

Not sure. The last episode that AOL posted was the one where he showed up at the Marshall Ranch during a storm and Ginny was going to shoot him. I checked AWHP, he wasn't on for very long.

He was a geologist that started off the Hitopah storyline. I think he also had a brief flirtation with Ginny.
