Celebrating The Soaps -Under News Section

Terri Garber (Iris, As the World Turns) last appears on December 1st.

I loved watching Iris when I tuned in to ATWT. Too bad TPTB missed the boat with this character, her and Barbara could've made magic onscreen.

I agree Chad. But her character was always meant to be short term.

Dang....

I'm sure gonna miss her. She was such a talented actress and from what I have read, she loved working at ATWT.

Is that the same Terri Garber from Dynasty?! I LOVED her on Dynasty, but I never put the two together. I'll definitely need to check IMDB now. That will be freaky if it is the same one bc I was a big fan...

Anyway, I will really miss Iris. She was *such* a hoot. I really wish they had kept her around. I'd like to see her dating one of the men in town..maybe Keith? She was just so much fun!

I've actually started watching ATWT a little bit more regularly lately. I loved Teri Garber.

TPTB could have really expanded on the Barbara/Iris thing... darn.

Oh well...

They have to make room for another lunkhead Kasnoff so why keep a talented actress like Terri Garber around? Don't you realize soap fans care more about a good six pack than good acting? :rolleyes:

I'm just so shocked that this is *the* Terri Garber! :lol: Her exit hasn't really hit me yet, I'm just in shock. Leslie Carrington was so prim and proper, nothing like Iris.

:lol:

I'm gonna miss Iris. Iris and Barbara had soooo much potential. They were gearing to be my favorite pair (Enemies? Partners in crim?).

ARGH! She was the BEST! I know she was a money hungry evil mother, but damn, she was awesome. Definitely livened up the show over the last few months.

Yeah. You know you're in for trouble when you see "Model" before the actor's name in SOD.

Hopefully he can act. If not, I have a feeling....not only is his entry to Oakdale gonna be expolsive, but his exit as well---if I have my way.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

1982/83 and 1983/84 CBS had a successful Thursday line up with Magnum, P.I.; Simon & Simon; and Knots Landing but NBC's 1984/85 comeback put an end to that.
The Cosby Show weakened then slaughtered Magnum, P.I. and Magnum, P.I. was moved to Wednesday 9 pm.
Cheers weakened then clobbered Simon & Simon and Simon & Simon moved up one hour where it was DOA vs. The Cosby Show. Simon & Simon moved back to 9 pm but the damage was done.
Knots Landing was winning the time slot vs. Hill Street Blues but with the move up one hour it was weakened by Cheers. Knots Landing moved back to 10 pm but then NBC moved L.A. Law to Thursday 10 pm and Knots Landing was further weakened.
CBS would not have another successful Thursday 8-10 pm line up until 2000/01 with Survivor and CSI.

All a sign that The Cheatin' Heart is making a comeback. Roman's pub quiz starts scaring off customers because he gets really oddly anal about it (just look at how much he had to explain a simply concept) and Bonnie buys the old Cheatin' Heart to reopen, kicking off #PubWars2026.

Agreed. I do feel a little bad for Peter Bergman, though, having not one, but three new females (Heather Stanford, Alice Haining, Melissa Leo) to act opposite and convey complicated feelings about in such a short time.

I totally get the "your Michelle" thing. It really took me until the rewatch to appreciate Kimberly Simms' Mindy. "My Mindy" is always Krista Tesearu.

That makes sense regarding the writing.
If this even makes sense, I view Budig as my first Michelle (I only saw the very end of Miner, but clearly didn't have the emotional attachment, not seeing Marueen's death). So having a new Michelle (like fans did with Budig coming in) is hard for me. But, for my Michelle, I never would have wanted her to get involved in the mob. I'm nervous, but also kind of intrigued, to see if I'd be into this mob thing or not. I say that because my soap knowledge tells me Danny and Michelle were super popular, so there had to be something special there... but I don't normally enjoy mob-style stories.

Both times CBS moved Knots to 9pm they followed it with a female lead drama - Jessica Novak (reporter) Nurse, and Kay O'Brian (surgeon).
All flopped. Knots stayed at 9pm in 81/82 and Nurse took over at 10pm doing better than Novak but there were a lot of bts issues with that show.
When Knots finished its run that season CBS went with Cagney & Lacey at 9pm but that didn't work so Simon & Simon was tossed there and bingo ! CBS solved that Thurs issue allowing Knots to head back to 10pm the next season.

Part of the September 26, 1978 episode. Some of this has been around - not sure if as much as we have here, but maybe I am wrong.
Any Sara/Dean Bradford fans, this is your episode. And Elizabeth with the shortest haircut I can remember on her. (she and Jackie really went through the hairstyles)
Guiding Light - (September 26,1978)
The channel has put up a number of 1979 episodes - again not entirely sure how much is already around.

This episode has been online for many years, but I can't remember if I've seen this version that has commercials.

The writing has to take it's share of the blame re: Budig's Michelle. I'm not sure even Lenz would've been the Michelle I'd envisioned, but she comes closest to it. But Michelle never really escaping the mob influence before being shipped out of town was disappointing to me. Of course, I was beyond caring by the time St Alban leaves, but still.

Thanks.
I think that story would have failed even with her as all non-Nina love interests did with him, so no wonder she left.
