It was not one I enjoyed. I found Greg smarmy and generally unlikeable. And him being a 'big name' meant that he became the defacto star.

It seems the Wired for Sound guest musicians thing was for Summer of 82 to capture the young folk while they were on vacation. Bit once Marland and Potter left, so did the concept, How long did Wired for Sound stay in business?

Billboard July 1982 Any fans of the soap opera "Another World" on NBC will be interested in "Ms. D.J. Rap It Up!" by She on Clappers Records. The 'She' in question is named Shelia Spencer, better known as Thomasina on "Another World." She's a reformed juvenile delinquent trying to be a good girl and is going with this nice guy, but is being tempted by ... You get the picture. Anyway, this is Spencer's first time on record, though soap opera connoisseurs may remember her from a stint on "The Guiding Light."

Jack can be pompous at times but have to hand it to Peter for respecting daytime and having some knowledge and perspective. He talked a little bit about how the show has changed but would love to hear from some vets how they really feel about this.

Re PB and the 5 years contract-why It's not like he's some hot young star they need to hang on to. Peter will be there to the last episode anyway. Wonder what the terms are, in terms of money and guarantees... Will Eric be offered the same?

I would assume that Jane Eliot would have stayed another year and that would have been it. She was not the type to settle into a longterm role (at least at that point) So Doug would have known that and written to that point-Carrie would either leave town or die. Carrie Mowery was not well received as Jackie so killing her off was an easy decision. As for Justin, Tom O'Rourke's contract was up. He probably was ready to leave and as Kobe had no interest in him staying as he was older and expensive (going into his third contract) so goodbye Justin.

Marland always said he had the next phase of the story planned out, which would have been Carrie integrating her personalities. Don't know how that would have played out onscreen (endless therapy sessions?) and how the Ross/Carrie story would have progressed. Maybe Carrie says until she gets well she wants Ross to move on w/o her. Ross steadfastly refuses but is tempted by another?

The only reason I could see Billy and Chelsea getting together is some drama with Johnny, their son. It could work that Chelsea encounters Johhny when he's out with Billy and maybe he and Connor strike up a friendship. When Victoria finds out, she's not happy and there's tension as Billy sides with Chelsea's notions of letting Johhny know his real mother etc Maybe Johhny is in an accident (maybe while with Billy and Chelsea) with Chelsea and Victoria then at loggerheads It doesn't have to be a Billy/Chelsea romance just a a parental bond... The roundabout romances need to stop.

Memo to Josh. PLEASE stop with the ridiculous business stories eg Jabot buying Marchetti. You don'y need a business degree to know the whole thing is totally illogical. In fact it's unnecessary. Why couldn't Summer and Kyle just return to GC, realizing they missed the US and their families? As for the media stories... A lot of this business stuff is just there to give these characters something to talk about. There are no employees , offices, meetings etc. And maybe they should just relocate the show to New York to make it slightly credible.

Do those Horton characters interact much? Would a newer viewer get a sense of a strong family unit?

That's great! Love seeing those nuggets that provide new information. Maybe MOT producers kept the tapes?

Well Jess/Jill always delivers, especially now she's been softened a little. For a while there everytime she turned up it was to be a nagging shrew. Susan is a class act and Leigh Ann, while no great shakes (blame inexperience, mediocre writing and lack of direction) has a spark and her character, unlike the bland Amanda and Elena, actually has an agenda and attitude.

Nowadays fans are up in arms about pre emptions for major political events, imagine the outcry if Days was interrupted by a report about the moon. How times have changed. That whole race to the moon was deemed big news. Did the average viewer really care?

So basically just some footage of an old SUV catching fire and plummeting into a lake with studio shots of Li and Sheila driving spliced in. That stunt was probably done years ago for another Sony show...

Fabtastic news! Just proves there are many people involved with shows at the time that have tapes of unseen episodes.

By now Traci should have adopted/mentored a young woman who has become her surrogate daughter and part of the Abbott family. Maybe Steve had a daughter whose mom died and came to live with the Connellys? That could easily be explained and worked into the story. Traci becomes a surrogate mother to the girl and they stay close after her divorce from Steve.

Enjoyed the anniversary episode. We got to see Danny,Tim, Amy,John and Brad. With so much history there they had to be selective and did a good job. Eileen and Beth made the dialogue flow so easily-obviously with years under their belt and knowing the characters inside and out. But it contrasted with Kelsey Wang who sounded a little clunky to me. I like the actress but the newbies aren't getting the direction, the character background or the time that Beth and Eileen had in their early days. What do we know about Allie? She seems a nice young woman and that's it. Also Jack got the final shot? Should have been Ashley and Traci.

Yes great story potential there. Shows how easily Mike would have fitted into that storyline. I'm guessing one of the reasons Mike didn't return is that TPTB wanted as few 'old' people as possible.

I agree. Constantly trying to involve Victor in his children's lives is beyond ridiculous by now. He has betrayed them/interfered so many times that they look like fools in these games of one upmanship. If only EB had retired or limited his presence after his 40th so they could actually move on from retelling these same stories. As for business, again it would be nice for them to descale and instead of billion dollar conglomerates have characters operating smaller operations that could be more easily and realistically depicted. Victoria could run a high end art gallery, Lauren ONE small scale dept store etc Have Jabot be a more upscale boutique operation, rather than this nonsense of them purchasing international Italian based fashion companies. PS what is Victoria wearing in those pics-some sort of 2 in 1 dress?

Ashland has been sporting the casual look w/jeans for a while now.
