James Reilly created Passions for the middle schoolers and high schoolers that were too young to watch his run on Days. Notice the NBC run was 8 years. A 12 year old in 1999 would be 20 in 2007, so the NBC run covers their whole teen years.

🤣 Thanks for the laugh Khan.

What about New Orleans as a setting?

Nobody wants to see Eddie Winslow on OnlyFans.

JFP was EP from 1987-1990, that overlaps w/ Santa Barbara Daytime Emmy peak years 1988-1990. Was there block voting? These are Santa Barbara Emmy results in the main acting categories. Winners Justin Deas: Supporting Actor 1988, 1989 (also nominated 1987) Marcy Walker: Lead Actress 1989 (also nominated 1987, 1988) Nancy Lee Grahn: Supporting Actress 1989 Justin Gocke: Younger Actor 1989 (also nominated 1991) A Martinez: Lead Actor 1990 (also nominated 1987-1989, 1991-1993) Henry Darrow: Supporting Actor 1990 Nominees Nicolas Coster: Lead Actor 1986; Supporting Actor 1988; Lead Actor 1991, 1992 Dame Judith Anderson: Supporting Actress 1986 Robin Wright: Younger Actress 1986-1988 Richard Eden: Supporting Actor 1987 Robin Mattson: Supporting Actress 1987-1989 Ross Kettle: Younger Actor 1988 Roscoe Born: Supporting Actor 1990 Sydney Penny: Younger Actress 1993

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and Single White Female were both released in 1992 so I think those might have had some influence on Sheila's B&B first run.

Does anyone know the original air date of the Dina/Ashley flashbacks in the video @Joseph posted? I'm guessing Spring or Summer 1985.

Is Josh Griffith going to dust off The Hand that Rocks the Cradle for the Kyle/Summer/Claire storyline?

You're welcome. From the 1990s ratings thread, weeks where GL won the time slot over General Hospital July 29-August 2, 1991 August 19-23, 1991 September 2-6, 9-13, 16-20, 23-27, 30-October 4, 7-11, 1991 November 18-22, 25-29, 1991 April 13-17, 20-24, 27-May 1, 4-8, 1992 May 18-22, 1992 June 1-5, 8-12, 1992 June 22-26, 29-July 3, 1992 August 3-7, 10-14, 17-21, 24-28, 31-September 4, 1992 September 14-18, 21-25, 28-October 2, 1992 October 19-23, 1992

That did not happen. It was proven in the 1980s ratings thread. GL won the time slot over General Hospital May 28-June 1, 1984; June 4-8, 1984; June 11-15, 1984. Y&R was #1 those three weeks.

Mid-1990s Nikki was so snooty lady of the manor and she needed to be knocked down a peg or two by being reminded that she was the OG ho turned housewife. I consider 1983-1998 Y&R's thriving years, but there were two low points in that time: Cricket eating the show second half of 1986 until end of 1989, and going off-track second half of 1994 through first half of 1997. The off-track era was marked by Summer 1994 frat party, Nick/Sharon eating the show Fall 1994-Spring 1996, and the lull Fall 1996 through first half of 1997. It overlaps w/ the aftermath of OJ and time slot rival Reilly Days blowing up. As we all know, Y&R nearly lost #1 in Summer 1997 to Reilly Days.

By June 1994 both shows were not in a good place creatively and thus effectively over in the aftermath of OJ. I wouldn't say both shows limped along in their final 15 years though.

@Maxim So scandalous! Great job on the video. @boldau Love seeing SF again. Retirement agrees with her. She looks happy and healthy.

Maybe its me, but I found the P&G shows to be more community-based whereas the Bell shows were more family/business conflict-based.

Victoria Principal left Spring 1987. Linda Gray left Spring 1989.

I'd say it started at Santa Barbara.

I want a power couple named Stefan and Alicia. Stefan, pro athlete turned tech mogul, and Alicia, WAG turned event planner extraordinaire. Guess who I'm basing them on?

Alot of GL Daytime Emmy nominations from JFP run were speculated to be the result of block voting. JFP run was July 1991-May 1995, so that covers 1992-1996 Daytime Emmys. Here are GL's results in those years. Winners Maeve Kinkead: Supporting Actress 1992 (also nominated for Lead Actress 1993 and 1995) Ellen Parker: Supporting Actress 1993 Monti Sharp: Younger Actor 1993 (also nominated 1994) Michael Zaslow: Lead Actor 1994 (also nominated 1992, 1993, and 1995) Justin Deas: Supporting Actor 1994, Lead Actor 1995 Melissa Hayden: Younger Actress 1994 (also nominated 1993) Jerry verDorn: Supporting Actor 1995, 1996 (also nominated 1992 and 1994) Kevin Mambo: Younger Actor 1996 Nominees Rick Hearst: Supporting Actor 1992, 1993, 1995 Maureen Garrett: Supporting Actress 1992, 1994 Jeff Phillips: Younger Actor 1992 Beth Ehlers: Younger Actress 1992, 1993 Mark Derwin: Lead Actor 1993 Bryan Buffington: Younger Actor 1993-1995 Peter Simon: Lead Actor 1994 Fiona Hutchison: Lead Actress 1994 Hilary Edson: Supporting Actress 1994 Melina Kanakaredes: Younger Actress 1994, Supporting Actress 1995 Marj Dusay: Lead Actress 1995 Jean Carol: Supporting Actress 1995 Rachel Miner: Younger Actress 1995 Frank Beaty: Supporting Actor 1996 Kimberly J. Brown: Younger Actress 1996

Sticking w/ the originals on Y&R Chancellor Industries and Prentiss Industries we don't know exactly what they were involved in. Newman Enterprises we know as a multinational conglomerate w/ all sorts of divisions. Mergeron Corporation had a cosmetics division that rivalled Jabot, not sure what else it was involved in. Jabot Cosmetics and Fenmore's department store pretty self-explanatory.

Elizabeth Hubbard has one Lead Actress win for The Doctors. As the World Turns has three Lead Actress Emmy wins, Martha Byrne (2001) and Maura West (2007, 2010), and Lead Actress nominees Elizabeth Hubbard (1986-1992, 1999), Ellen Dolan (1993), Kathleen Widdoes (1994), Colleen Zenk (2002, 2011). Notably absent to me are Eileen Fulton (she got one nomination for Supporting Actress in 1988), Kathryn Hays, Marie Masters, Hillary B Smith (she won for One Life to Live in 1994), Tamara Tunie.

I never thought of the demographics angle, considering CBS has always skewed older.

True. Then again every Linda Gray article/interview I've come across over the years has always said that she left by her own choice. I don't know if it was the 1985 or 1990 departure, but Charlene Tilton once said that Lorimar wanted her to say that she left by her own choice but she wasn't down for that and said she was fired. I believe the 1990 departure was reported as lack of storyline but I say salary dump.

In some parts of the world B&B was titled Caroline.

Seven consecutive nominations (1986-1992) and a final nomination in 1999. These were the races 1986: Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci, Peggy McCay, Erika Slezak (winner), Kim Zimmer 1987: Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci, Frances Reid, Marcy Walker, Kim Zimmer (winner) 1988: Helen Gallagher (winner), Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci, Erika Slezak, Marcy Walker 1989: Jeanne Cooper (her first nomination), Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci, Marcy Walker (winner) 1990: Jeanne Cooper, Elizabeth Hubbard, Finola Hughes, Susan Lucci, Kim Zimmer (winner) 1991: Julia Barr, Jeanne Cooper, Elizabeth Hubbard, Finola Hughes (winner), Susan Lucci 1992: Jeanne Cooper, Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci, Erika Slezak (winner), Jessica Tuck 1999: Jeanne Cooper, Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Lucci (winner), Melody Thomas Scott, Kim Zimmer Maybe someone at CBS/P&G didn't put together very good submissions, who knows.

Steve Kanaly was the only long-time (as in part of the original cast or introduced during the first two seasons) male cast member across all three CBS primetime soaps that got salary dumped. I've pointed this out before but when the CBS primetime soaps were in budget mode, it was mostly the long-time female cast members that got salary dumped. He mentions Linda Gray was let go the same time he was, but I always thought Linda left Spring 1989 by her own choice. Linda wrote in her book that when her contract was up she chose not to renew and just walked away.
