93 was just awful IMO from recast Mindy to boring Jocelyn Seagrave...The show was so dull that year. 89-91 was good but still not vintage GL. This episode was brilliant. Robert Calhoun had just begun as EP.

Even though ATWT was my show I thought GL was a better show in the late 70s and early 80s. GL became real fluff in 1986 and IMO never regained that edge/spark it once had. ATWT became the better soap and was reflected in the ratings. I really can't point a finger as to why GL veered off. I could've been that a quite few of characters were fluff.

Did Michael think her writing was shitty like we all did?

It's nice to see David Tom as Billy. It's too bad Joshua Morrow never asked for acting tips from DT.

I wish YR would show more early and mid 80s episodes. It's gotten stuck on 1991.

And did I mention Chandler plays tennis too? I play it too. I would love to play tennis with him.😊

What's not to like about him? His smile, his body/chest, his handsome face and his personality.

He looks so hot here.

He moved back to Georgia with his folks. Aiden Turner is also in Georgia. I couldn't get the video to play. Interesting he got into shape for his fans..😋

Here's James calling her a whore and attacking her after finding out ahout Emily and Paul.

Been watching a lot of 86 and 87 season of ATWT. I had forgotten how good it was at that time. The scenes were much longer and at least one story affected everyone on the canvas. The Sabrina story had everyone involved. Even Lucinda who exposed Sabrina existence on a tv station she owned. No wonder the show was in the top 3 a lot and even #2 a few times.

The look on Lucinda face around the four minute mark is brilliant. Liz didn't have to have any written lines to show us what a brilliant actress she was.

Well he said for the health insurance. But he also meant a paycheck is a paycheck. I really hadn't heard Scott talk about ATWT or get interviewed. He is a straight shooter. He came off warm at times and cold at times during this interview. It's not what I expected. He and Ellen were asked how they felt replacing two fan favorites in HBS and Gregg Marx. Ellen didn't answer but Scott said what was he suppose to do...play the part his way because he couldn't control anything else. It's obvious he wasn't happy with what became of ATWT and its demise. I'm sure he would've said much more had Alan not changed the subject.

Thanks Khan. I'm still in shock. I was watching coverage on him but couldn't anymore because it's still very raw. I hope our university does something special in his name.

About half way though the hour. He mentioned working with Kelly and said it felt off with him cheating on Margo with Emily. He pretty much said he hated learning his lines towards the end because the storylines were so bad. He said he loved seeing everyone everyday but doing the actual show wasn't fun anymore. He said he was glad it got cancelled because it wasn't a good soap at the end but had it not been canceled he'd still would've stayed....paycheck for his old age he said..lol...medicare.....etc...lol

Scott Defrietas needs to take over as host. Alan is horrible. All this yelling over his guests is too much. I really loved Scott Holmes trashing the show. What the writers and producers did to this beloved show is unforgivable.

I went to college with him. One of his best friends from college can't believe that such a sweet guy was killed.

Alan didn't say much after Scott trashed the show..lol.

Alan is horrible and talking over Scott and interrupting. Scott Holmes trashing the ending of ATWT. How the show went out in a wimper. How horrible the last few years of ATWT were and how bad the storylines had become.

Paul Lammers discussion. How tough a director he was and he would curse at some of the bad takes..lol. But he was sweet person but during taping he was all business. This is why he was ATWT best director. Ooooo Benjamin didn't like Scott at the beginning...

Lawd Alan starts it off with his name on logos followed by the atwt opening...lololol This interview with Ellen and Scott is sinking fast.
