It was set at the local University and involved the lives of the wealthy Alden/Forbes clan that ran it. The Slaters were a professor/ Dean, his abused drunk wife and his sexually abused daughter. The Donovans were middle class...Doug, a teacher, Mike, a cop, and Stacey, a college student. The Vocheks were a religious family, Father Jim and his sisters, Merrill the television reporter, and Noreen, Mike's wife, a nurse, also middle class. Then there was Coach Bristow and his cheating wife.  The original stories were to revolve around the college and it's scandals...

He was, yes. His jokes were getting a bit off-color for daytime TV at one point...

 

It was interesting that the Loving question they got was about when Lisa Peluso would be back. It reminded me of when someone here said that during Lisa's break they got so many calls and letters they had to start announcing that she would be back.

He can get all off-color if he wants too. He is so SEXY! It is criminal that he isn't acting today! I have to add that Walt Willey was looking pretty handsome too! Sucks that no other soap has offered him a role either. I miss his face on daytime. 

 

I am not surprised that fans were worried about Lisa Peluso returning as she was a successful recast. From what I've seen, I enjoy both her and Roya's interpretation of Ava. I didn't know that Kate had cancer though. I hope someone post clips of that story. It seems like a very touching story. 

 

Speaking Loving, another end credits clip has been posted:

And sitting with his legs wide open, like he knows it...

 

I've heard it was good, as was her husband Louie's cancer story a few years later. I wish we could see it. I remember an article when the show was ending and they interviewed various cast members and she joked that everything was life-affirming for Kate - even cancer.

Thanks. First time I've seen Larkin as Clay. He was very good. They disowned Clay so many times yet it still has an impact. And I was surprised they still remembered Rick by this point. 

 

The woman who plays Carly seemed to be a very good actress. 

 

I don't know that guy with Louie.

Thanks. I was so glad they uploaded a full episode and seem to have more.

 

The show had such a good younger set at this time. It's always hard to reconcile Amelia Heinle in these years to the living corpse of the last 15 or so years. 

 

PAS was just adorable.

 

It's tough to watch Buck thinking about marrying Stacey, not Gwyn, when Gwyn would go on to kill her...

 

Can you believe those sets? Better than anything on a soap now.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
