It was insane. But I can't fully agree with everything you cited. There was a rabid ATWT fan who identified with the actor, as well as the character, who was definitely prolific and unbalanced.

I don't know how early it started but in Canada certainly as early as the mid-80s, they always showed a bit of the previous day's episode before the current day started. In theory if Jamie was in that clip even if he wasn't in the current episode it could give the impression he appeared both days -- but anyone counting appearances that closely for that long would presumably learn that pattern and understand it. I see your point but I doubt it would have been included in his, or someone else's, miscalculation. That bit of short scenes from the day before, before the actual show and theme started, was unique as far as I know. I used to think it was CTV allowed less advertising time, or that they couldn't sell advertising time, which was ridiculous, the show was immensely popular in Canada.. It aired at the same time in Canada EST and EDT, so on cable our Canadian broadcast substituted the American simulcast. It gave Canadian advertisers an advantage. Then I spent a week Skiiing in Stowe Vermont and watched AW in my hotel room (The Golden Eagle) eating pizza (from The Flying Tomato) and saw that on the NBC station (WPTZ Plattsburgh) there was an NBC newsbreak we didn't get in Canada. Hence the previews from the day before, to fill the time. It says a lot that someone was hired to do it.

Looks like I am in on my android phone. Never had problems with this one but I have an older backup, much older, I use as a safety net, a second phone number. Its age makes it difficult to read and log in.

You're practically quoting what Hayley said at the time.

See, you know more than I. I'm still about 3-4 weeks behind - Canadian schedule, and speculating on spoilers. That said, I like George and would hate to lose him. Odd that the undertaker is someone I find quite endearing. A surrogate father to Todd.

That's my hope

I wonder what it will look like on my huge screen. I should add, other less elderly people my age, late sixties, will also be interested. My best friend since high school, over 50 years, is over the top with joy. She watched when she could since its inception. Now she's 68.

Lol

That's the most encouraging component. I am in Canada and I will watch, and I know others who will when I tell them. I have an elderly aunt, my mother's sister, in her 90s who would love this, and has the means to watch it in her assisted living condo. Her neighbours probably feel the same. I would gladly set it up for her. My mother in law is also in her 90s but much more spry, and would/could pay to watch, as would most of her friends. Most of them are French Québecoises but do well in English and loved old American soaps in their heydey. It's not my favourite time of the show but I will take what I can get, and hope for better, and for other ABC soaps if this becomes profitable. And maybe from other producers

Todd will be blamed whether he did it or not. I remember Tracy and Charlie. Charlie was abusive but nothing like Theo. And we saw Tracy acting out a practice run of what was a very premeditated murder. Who is the real murderer? Todd will be the red herring who goes to jail, maybe even covering for Summer, but I doubt it will be him. It is somewhat of a rite of passage for some innocent characters to spend time in stir.

Thanks. I'm a bit surprised but I suppose he deserved it the most. Now comes the whodunnit.

Thank you. I look forward to this and hope it begins a trend in soap revivals.

I stopped watching for a while during San Chistobel.

Thank you. I would have been seven years old, and my mother was pregnant with my younger sister so I was aware of what a miscarriage could be. Probably why I remember it. I will look for it.

Thanks. I remember either model planes or cars. Very popular pastimes in those days.

Don't feel too bad DeeVee. Can't say anything. His late older brother was nicer and more intellectual. Not as handsome but a much better man.

I have an early memory of Robin? -played by Gillian Spencer and a young man or teenager, stepson, who was somehow responsible for her miscarriage. She was wandering around his bedroom, looking at his model planes and cars.

I have actually met Daniel Pilon a few times. He was part of my mother-in-law's circle of friends. She was closer to his bother Daniel, also an actor, who I had met more often. He said the money was so good but taking that role was the worst decision of his life. He did not elaborate beyond that except to say that trying to cover his lovely but obvious Quebecois accent with every word was most difficult.

Nice. I never understood why Ed was against Maureen adopting Michelle. Claire wasn't around anymore. Few were more maternal than Maureen. Was this some kind of initial confluct expected to be resolved with Maureen taking over? She did anyway but not legally. Another otline/confluct lost to the previous muses.

As a wide-eyed blonde

I hated that. Didn't watch for a while.

Maybe a mystery writer, like Louise Penny could resurrect this show. Attempts to make tv out of her novels have failed miserably. Poorly cast, poorly scripted. Give her a soap. Not Three Pines but Monticello. Reboot the Carrs and Marceaus, and Nicole Travis. Maybe Adam Drake - but apparently Donald May was not a nice man. Resurrect Logan Swift.

Felt the same way. I was also in my teens. Harney didn't cry well was a big criticism I heard often. Maybe older viewers were more used to Courtenay's frequent crying jags. From his book, Lemay was also upset with Courtenay looking down at her hands, where she had written crib notes for her lines. A true bugaboo for writers I guess, as he critisized several other actors for similar tricks. The actress who played Mary, her mother, was fired for it. And the character killed. I loved Lemay's AW but he was the biggest diva of that period of the show, and went too far.

I vaguely recall a movie they made together, Ryan O'Neal and Leigh Taylor Young, it aired often late night in the early 1970s. THE BIG BOUNCE. Not very good. The highlight was O'Neal showing his bare bum in a skinny dipping scene.
