Eileen Fulton Dies: 'As The World Turns' Star Was 91 Daytime Icon Eileen Fulton (Lisa, As the World Turns) Dies at the Age of 91 - Soap Opera Digest

My school years (elementary through college) overlapped w/ supercouple Days and Reilly Days. That's what the soap fans among my classmates were mostly watching, not the CBS line up that their grandmothers watched.

I'm a 1980s kid/1990s teen and I went to school with plenty of Lisas. I recognize As the World Turns place in US daytime television history, but to a lot of soap fans of my generation it had a reputation of being a grandma show.

Noted. Thank you @DRW50

I pointed this out in the As the World Turns thread. Lisa ran so Rachel, Erica, Jill, and Brooke could walk.

Of the long-time (as in 30+ years) As the World Turns cast members that are past age 80, I believe Don Hastings, Larry Bryggman, and Marie Masters are the last ones left of that generation. If I'm missing any please add.

Eileen Fulton and Gregg Marx on The Price is Right (OAD February 5, 1985).

You're welcome.

RIP Eileen Fulton and thank you for your contributions to daytime television.

Eileen Fulton receives the Editor's Award. Segment begins 1:08:07

Lisa was the OG vixen. She ran so Agnes Nixon creations Rachel and Erica and Bill Bell creations Jill and Brooke could walk. RIP Eileen Fulton and thank you for your contributions to daytime television. The Daytime Emmys better give her the memoriam that she deserves.

Joe Willmore. His run was January 1986 to June 1989, so that overlaps with the 1988 writer's strike.

I think the biggest shift in the qualifying system was the creation of the younger categories and their eventual age limit. I feel the younger categories were created so that newcomers wouldn't overshadow long-tenured veterans and with the age limit, it made the supporting categories a holding tank for those who aged out of the younger categories but were not at long-tenured veteran level or at superstar level to be nominated for the lead categories. No other awards have a category with an age limit and that in a way detracts from the legitimacy of the awards. IMO the results of the younger categories from the mid-1990s to the end showed how much the talent pool in daytime dropped during that era.

I think there was some controversy over Laurie Heineman win in 1978 and that lead to the creation of the supporting categories the following year.

Thank you.

You're welcome @chrisml

There's a reason why no 2007 episodes were shown during the classics. Halfway through the month and 90% has been "what is this mess?"

We know by then JFP had the block voting game on lock.

@MLH Thank you for the link.

Yet Frank Dicopolous was employed for 22 years.

What blog? There are some GL-related SOD articles I've been trying to find online but no luck so far.

I remember a Victor/Traci scene where Victor told Traci he considers her the heart of the Abbott family. I think that was sometime in the last 5 years or so.

Exactly. Do not give Josh Griffith ideas.

I couldn't find an episode guide for The Price is Right anywhere but I know of these CBS daytime soap themed episodes. February 1-5, 1982: One of the episodes this week was a Y&R themed episode w/ appearances from David Hasselhoff and Terry Lester. June 27-30, 1983: Items up for bid, pricing games, and showcases w/ appearances from Michael Damian, Steven Ford, Frank Runyeon, Meg Ryan, Bill Beyers, Rory Calhoun, Michael Tylo. February 4-7, 1985: Showcases w/ appearances from Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott, Eileen Fulton, Gregg Marx, Todd Curtis, Bradley Lockerman, Judi Evans, Vincent Irizzary. December 1, 1992: Showcase celebrating Y&R 5000th episode w/ appearances from Peter Bergman and Melody Thomas Scott. AFAIK there were no CBS primetime soap themed episodes of TPiR.
