50 years ago December 1, 1975 ATWT expanded to an hour bumping The Edge of Night to ABC

Wonder what Lisa was like on Our Private World? She was a vixen when she left and bitchy with Michael Shea and Claire

I don't think CBS was used to doing a lot of promos back then and certainly not as polished as the ABC Love in the Afternoon promos that would later come

Watching August 22, 1975 episode Liza and Steve's wedding. Great storylines. What is the deal with this patient of Wade's--Karen I think? She kissed him. How did that storyline play out. She also seemed to be connected to a Clay

I remember all except Wilson Frost-the guy with the dark hair

I hated how they shoved these 2 down our throats during the 40th anniversary episode when it should have been about veterans

How was Jim Mathew’s exit handled? Did Hugh Marlowe play him until his death?

I don’t remember the character of Mary standing out. Kind of lackluster. Other matriarchs had a stronger presence like domineering Nancy Hughes and Bert Bauer and even Alice Horton

I wonder if the Penny recast would have worked better if they had waited a few years. They did that with Don Maybe the writers weren’t interested or the character was indeed not replaceable .

What time slot was the extra half hour returned to the affiliates

Wonder what would have happened if they expanded The Doctors and put it at 3 against GH and GL. If they followed the GH track The Doctors would not be any more medical than any other show and more action adventure

The casts of shows traveling to and filming in different locations. ATWT to Greece AW St Croix SFT Mardi Gras. Roger Ed Mike Holly in San Domingo but that was more toward 1980

My thoughts exactly

Watched early 60s clips with Lisa. I’ve never got how Nancy was so big on Bob and Lisa getting back together and supportive of Lisa. Most parents would not be happy to have a scheming and cheating daughter in law. Nancy could be a bit strange

Although 3 years later CBS would bump LOL to 11:30 for Where the Heart Is
