Fair enough...should be watching more carefully. Is it fair to say that the majority of scenes are taking place outside of Hope Memorial? This was a criticism of Marland's upcoming writing, but is DePriest guilty of this also?

When Matt punched out the reporter outside Joan Dancy's room, it was poorly staged and looked fake.As for knocking into the wall and having it bend...

I would love to read Bunim's Afternoon Tv interview about ATWT. I had all those mags, but they disappeared along the way. I do recall her talking about the lighting, saying they would be using key lighting to focus on the performer on camera. She said it takes extra time to light the set but needed to be done to update the visual appeal of the show. Seems that didn't happen as planned...

Thanks for the updates. Didn't recognize Julie Adams as I have her Capitol appearance in my mind...people get old! When you get time Beaulah Garrick Susan Flannery Jack Wagner Joel Fabiani Fran Brill Penny Fuller James Rebhorn

Wasn't Search low budget at this time, compared to other soaps? Yet the number of extras and under 5's in those episodes, as well as the size and staging of the warehouse scenes puts the current shows to shame... John Getz is listed as producer in the final clip credits - no exec producer. Was this a time in between appointment of new exec producer?

Looking at the cast in the final ep....people like Joanna Going,Matthew Ashford,David Forsyth etc just makes me wish they had been cast as legacy characters like Danny, Bruce, Gary etc Much easier to keep Jo and Stu in the mix and please newer and long time viewers.

Re Thom Bierdz...that video pretty much explains why he never returned to Y&R.

Wasn't it implied/stated that Rachel was the first woman he actually fell in love with (the rest being casual relationships) and Doug Watson insisted Mac never say 'I love you' to any other woman than Rachel.

Sorry OLTL now included!

Good for him that he has found happiness and contentment ...that's all I say...

Jeanne Ruskin, best known to soap fans as Laurie Karr Dallas is in the news over plans to redevelop the Inwood NY neighborhood where she lives. Jeanne Ruskin, 71, an actor and teacher who first came to Inwood when she was 10 to visit relatives from Europe and has lived in the area for 37 years, said: "The people who have been displaced from all these other neighbourhoods end up here because we still have affordable housing available. businesstimes.com.sg/real-estate/manhattans-last-affordable-neighbourhood-under-siege

I have been impressed with what I have seen of Paul Carr so far. Not so much the character or the writing but his delivery and overall take on the character. Ann in her Mrs Lomax disguise looked like Linda Richman Why do soap disguised always consist of fake looking wigs and glasses? There appears to be a new hospital set but it has yet to be shown in full. Maybe while it is being constructed they've had to avoid any scenes at the nurses station. One thing that has always puzzled me is that even when episodes are not set at the hospital, they will show various nurses/staff on that set in the credits. Why pay for extras if that is all they will be used for?

Just reading an old interview with P&G exec Mickey Dwyer Dobbin around 1997. She was talking about ATWT and was asked if Julie might be returning. Her response was "Who's that"? These execs were so clueless. You'd think that if you were getting paid 6 figures to oversee 3 shows, you might spend some time brushing up on the history of said shows. She also said that she didn't want flashbacks on the GL 60th shows because viewers would realize that it was an old show!! So why celebrate 60 years at all??

In light of recent Rusty/Liza discussion

Those graphics and music were far too generic for my taste. Yes, SFT needed to keep the clouds theme but it was really only a minor update of the original titles. I see Tom Bergman listed as"Tripp" What was that about?

August 21 1981 Don Chastain, who plays Dr. Max Taper in CBSs’ “Search for Tomorrow, has been named head writer for the soap opera. The daytime drama celebrates its 30th anniversary on Sept. 3. Chastain will continue to portray Dr. Taper occasionally in the future.

Newspaper blurb Nov 1 1951 Never A Dull Moment On “FHY” It can’t be dull on CBS-TV’s daytime drama, “The First Hundred Years.” The adventures of Chris and Connie Thayer (played by Jimmy Lydon and Olive Stacey) and their lively parents range all the way from brushes with the underworld to the elder Thayer’s nomination for Mayor and nothing’s ever simple! And roundabout these high spots of adventure, the young Chris Thayers cope with the sometimes tender, always engrossing problems of newlyweds.

Great analysis! Thanks for sharing. So sad to see SFT's potential squandered...
