any thoughts re tony dokoupil as the cbs news anchor? i’ve been less than impressed. but, my only exposure has been the endless, annoying, commercials for cbs mornings i must endure in order to watch ‘beyond the gates’ without paying for paramount+.

re jon lindstrom’s status: could be wrong about this, but iirc, with the exception of tamara tunie and clifton davis, actors on contract were required to relocate to atlanta. jl didn’t want to relocate, so is recurring despite his character driving a lot of story.

exactly! that archive is a goldmine — don’t know how many i’ve watched, but lipton’s is the only one under two hours. for someone of his caliber, i’d say three is the average — some are as much as six hours. people know it’s important and they cleared their schedules i was put off my his dismissive attitude toward soaps. though in his book, ‘inside, inside,’ he tells a hilarious story about irna.

agreed that it was random. but, i’ll never forget that screen with larry bryggman in a rocking chair saying goodby to their baby (can’t remember the name).

on ryan’s hope, when kate mulgrew (mary) became pregnant in real life it was written into the show. she gave the baby up for adoption, but mary had the baby (ryan) so, when she returned to the show she had to play a happy new mother. can’t even imagine.

this one, at least, had real consequences. it’s why irna was fired in 1973 — she died six months later. and a few years later, gave doug marland the opportunity to retcon into frannie/sabrina and win an emmy for julianne moore.

of course it is!

seems just a bit early for poinsettias and christmas decorations.

with you on all of this!

Wow I don't remember that story at all 🤯 i’ve blocked out so much of ‘world turns final years:)

95 years ago today… soap opera turns 95!
