Thanks. Too bad he didn't talk a little more about ATWT.

So he didn't get that True Blue show?

[safe]

I guess Grant Show got the part.

I looked up the show and also in the cast were soap actors - John Bolger, Ally Walker, and Darnell Williams. The show aired December 1989 - February 1990.

Some good ads in here - the one with Jill and Charlotte is especially good.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone here traded soap opera dvds? I am searching for episodes of Ryan's Hope from the years of 1985-1987. If anyone has any episodes (other than what is on Freeflyur's You Tube station, which I already have DVD copies of) that they are willing to trade, please contact me at [email protected]. I know that these years are rare, and would appreciate any help that you could give! I have several other soaps on DVD available for trade, including Another World, Santa Barbara, General Hospital, and Young and Restless.

Also, I have been told that there is a new Facebook group page for soap dvd trading that just started last week. If you have dvds to trade, please feel free to join that group. It can be found under Soap Opera DVD Trading Post on Facebook.

Thanks!

Catherine Hicks' (Faith #3) post-RH comments from April 1978

This was conducted during Tribute's first stop on it's pre-Broadway run in Boston

It was interesting to learn the actors had a meeting, while Catherine was still there, and they had concerns about the show becoming too filled with despair, She said the writers agreed with how the actors felt-- but I don't think there was that much uplifting about rest of 1978 except for maybe Frank wininng the Senate seat, and to a lesser extent, Delia attempting to grow up. There was Edmund's illness, Frank and the Ryan's hiding Edmund's paternity, Faith's knife accident and the return of Faith to the Perils of Pauline storylines, etc.

Thanks. I'd never read that before. Great insights.

I guess that didn't last long...

Watching that 2nd promo, were Scotty and Luke friends at one point?

[danfling]

Yes, Luke was friends with both Laura and Scottie. Then, he suddenly raped Laura - and she hated him. Scotty continued to be Luke's friend until he learned that his wife had been raped and (probably later) the identy of the rapist.

On that clip above, Tina says, "I've never really been with a man before." Who is she talking to?

I remember vaguely that she had a boyfriend who was her lawyer after she returned from Califoria. He learned that she was the daughter of Victor and tried to encourage her to go after her inheritance (which he had his eyes on). Is that the person?
