This is so cool!! Can you buy this anywhere??

It was a nice chat and my God, all of them look amazing! Ladies are so gorgeous and men are such hunks. They shared some nice stories. Good seeing them all.

I really miss my writing. I just never have the time anymore even though I constantly think of new ideas and new stories and characters.. but just no time

I always hated that they dropped Stefano's will & mysterious gifts in 2002 on DAYS.

GL, ATWT and EON aired in Croatia, but I believe all aired only for one year in early to mid 90's with episodes from late 80s.

Cool! You are welcome. Btw, I saw now that in July 1987, you should double check Andy's numbers.

Glad to help Whatever is best for you. I personally do it per actor all of my stats, but one day I may switch per character as well. But for now, for me it is okay the way you did it 1987.

@will81 Thank you so much for providing us the 1987 statistics!! Love them! If I may, I noticed just some possibly incorrect totals.. maybe just have a look, as I am not sure if the total/sum is off or the total is fine, but then the there is an extra appearance for the following in March 1987: - David Kimble - you have total 3, but it appears he was on 4 different episodes - Esther - same as above - Jack Abbott (Terry Lester) - you have total 7, but it appears he was on 8 different episodes Thanks once again!!

Well UK has this model for their soaps. I believe Eastenders airs 4 days a week, Corrie 3 days a week (although with 5 episodes) and Emmerdale 5 days a week (with 6 episodes). So possibilities are endless Also I always thought that networks should have cut down the soaps in US (GL, AMC, OLTL etc) to half an hour before completely cancelling them. That might have worked.

Oh yes! That too! I actually enjoyed that whole storyline quite a lot because I adored the performances of Sabyn Genet and Rick Hearst as Tricia and Matt.

Matt Clark did it to frame Nick on Y&R by unplugging his breathing cord and putting it in Nick's hand to make it seem that Nick did it. I loved that scene. I was spoilerfree and it was so shocking to me back then.

Oh wow, amazing! Thank you so much!! Fyi, do you know the US date for the first episode available from 1982?

OMG, thank you so much @will81!!

Oh awesome! Thanks @will81 I love collecting soap aircounts, so this is fun! Thanks!!

Ok, thank you both! I know AW has been there since the beginning, that is why I was surprised to hear he might be killed off.

Ian is getting killed off? 😮

Interesting. I am surprised that YR never grabbed Germany attention while BB did. I understand why 2005/2006 episodes didnt catch anyone, but the 80/90s stuff was good. I guess since BB aired from the 1st episode, people got into it more easily..

Oh cool! Thanks @will81 ! I had no idea it aired in Germany.

Oh there is a German Y&R site? I never knew YR was in Germany. I know B&B (Reich und Schon) was huge in Germany and that GL (Springfield Story) at one point was popular..

Chicago Fire (season 4), Chicago PD (season 3), Superstore (season 3), Black-ish (season 2), Umbrella Academy (season 2), The Boys (season 2). Just finished season 1 of Greenleaf and season 1 of Ozark. I just dropped Big Brother All Stars from my list. Could not anymore....

Yeah, she was Dorothy and Ben was S.B. Initially she thought it was Casey, before realizing it was Ben.

Oh I loved Max, Tanya, Lauren and Abi.. this whole family was one of my favorites! I am glad they will not kill him off.

Well in the beginning of the show, I think they tried to intermingle the cast more. Vanessa, Gabi and Meg were shown as friends. I remember them even singing "Stop in the name of love" together at the bar, like karaoke fun night together. And yes, I believe there was a cyber cafe.. Java cafe?

Oh my, I have not watched Emmerdale in such a long time (I find myself repeating this lately a lot in each different soap opera topic I wonder into hahaha) I know of Annie, but I have never seen any of the old episodes, so I have no attachment to that character, but I can see why many of you find it disrespecting and baldy handled. But I am more shocked at the look of Marlon.. Why does he look like a homeless person in that first clip where Victoria finds out about Annie? Also, I really think Isabel Hodgins is a pretty girl, but I don't really like her boyish look with this short hair. Also also... I have to add that it is really lovely that she decided to stick around for such a long time with the show! It is always nice to have a character grow up with the actor in front of viewers eyes.

Oh yes. I don't think my writing is amazing or anything, but I do hope I have gotten better at least since my teens year back in the late 90s haha But to be honest, I find writing as sort of a way to vent. It helps me relax. That's why I continue with it in spite thinking it is no good haha I wish we could know which stories really came from the writers and which were mandated by the budget/corporate. But I guess we will never know this. I was hoping some of the writers would delve more into this during the chats at Alan Locher zoom meetings during this covid times, but other than the Reva Clone story, I don't think I have heard much about this.
