Soapsuds

I played singles and doubles in HS and college tournaments but preferred singles. Doubles were usually played during dual matches.

Glad they did. I can't stand the Bryan brothers. They should have been showing the Thiem match anyways and not doubles.

Carole Demas didn't last long in the role because by 91 Lee Bryant was already playing Hannah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CBKfyRwuFI

So who is Steven? Eric or Trump Jr?...LOL

I was like who is Michael Runyeon?....LOL Yes, Susan was HW of OLTL 2.0 and I thought she did a great job! ATWT should have rehired her when Marland passed in 1993.

Awwwwwwww....I didn't even know he was married let alone had children. Hope everything goes well.

When a close up of Joan is shown you can tell that's not John choking her and vice versa....LOL.

The only other good part is Sammy Jo and Amanda pool scene. Blake yelling Im going to ....and then choking Alexis was so fake and laughable.

5 months earlier Marland had another murder mystery with Neal....Terry Lester's character Royce killed her. His own sister. It was a powerful performance by Terry Lester when the truth came out. I don't think youtube has the clip. It was Marland still writing it. I loved the story because it involved Connor who at that time was very popular with ATWT fans. The ratings for the Linc murder mystery were huge. I had forgotten that Scott Bryce was on ATWT at the same time as Terry Lester was....golden...

Susan Horgan was HW before Marland took over and stayed with ATWT as a BW for a bit before she left. I liked her work on ATWT. James Wlcek originated the role and then when Linc became involved with Connor Walsh the role was recast with Lonnie Mccullough. He was later killed by Ned Simon(Debbie Simon daughter played by Sharon Case). Here is second Linc... Terry Lester on ATWT This was going on at the same time Linc was getting murdered. Talk about a November sweeps by Marland.

More Potter as Tad Channing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFSO6XNa1Hg

Andrew Potter played Tad Channing #1 and he is featured in that episode

Is this Tad Channing #1? He is kind hot, cute....LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ergz8SL5pXA I was going to say that they usually recast because they think the original actor can't be evil or nice....but this actor not only looks good but I believe he could pull off being evil. Remember when Marland also recast Linc?

Yeah, he told the media that he wasn't going to worry about winning. That the media needed to stop pimping him because he wasn't going to play their game....LOL. I don't think either that he cares about winning. His game is too mechanical for my tastes. I don't think he is that great in the way that the media portrays him. I don't even see him as a top 20 player. Is he going to be a father too???????

I had forgotten about the Channing murder that also happened in 1986-1987 season. I only remember the 2nd Tad. I don't recall the first. I think there are a few of the first Tad on youtube. I need to look for them. The Channing and Cummings storylines were both very good. After Marland passed in 1993 ATWT felt like Y&R does now.....vets on with no stories going on. The breakdown and script writers that were with Marland at the time had no idea what to do or write. They had his bible for the remaining year and a half but after that the writers were clueless.

Yes it was a great year for them. They ranked #4 in the ratings and won the daytime Emmy that year for best soap. The writing went to GL that year. There are a lot of clips on youtube ...but I agree not enough. 1986-1987 1. General Hospital 8.3 2. The Young And The Restless 8.0 3. One Life To Live 7.2 4. As The World Turns 7.0 4. All My Children 7.0 4. Days Of Our Lives 7.0 7. Guiding Light 6.3 8. The Bold And The Beautiful 5.6 9. Capitol 5.2 10. Another World 5.1 11. Santa Barbara 4.2 12. Loving 3.9 13. Ryan's Hope 2.7 14. Search for Tomorrow 2.5 Yes, love to hate him....LOL. He was awesome as Jack. Peter Bergman doesn't come close. As for ATWT....they had that year.....Barbara/Tom/Margo, Lily's parentage with Lucinda and Iva, Bob and Kim looking for Frannie's twin, Holden and Lily flirtation and James famous return at Duncan's castle.....Hello Barbara....LOL

Two days later the academy called WJB and told him that his soap had not won the Emmy but that GL had. Yes, a lot of great scenes. I like ATWT and Y&R scenes over GL. If I were a voter though I would have voted for Y&R. Of course that was just a sample of what the soaps submitted. I dont know what else was on those reels. ATWT had Barbara sleeping with Tom storyline.....GL had Vanessa running over Reva in her car I believe thus losing her child...and Y&R was power related story with who would run Jabot.

Hadn't heard that name in a long time. Was he still overacting?...LOL

A great Barbara/Margo scene from 86. Y&R was awarded the winner and there was a mix up and the winner was actually GL.

I also liked her relationship with Emily. I doubt that would have been explored had she stayed married with Steve.
