I’m almost done with April 1970 and it’s improving. The Maggie story is painfully bad but it seems like it must be wrapping up. I just feel this boy can’t be in the hospital too much longer. 

 

The positive for me is Carolee. I love her and they’ve just introduced Billy and are expanding Dan’s role. His house set is so cute and I’m enjoying Billy. He seems to have good chemistry with Carolee as well. I’m still really excited to meet her mom. They mention her almost every episode! Other than this storyline I don’t think I’m really enjoying anything but this is getting good enough screentime that I’m content. I still like Virginia as Althea, but the story with Steve is a dud. 

 

I also notice Nick playing around with some rabbits so hopefully Greta will be arriving shortly.

I’ve finally met Carolee’s mother and Greta! Love both of them. It’s interesting having Greta arrive when Maggie is a space cadet considering that’s her child. Matt and Mike were the main ones interacting with her lol. Sadly I thought the Maggie/boy story was ending but Matt is saying he needs another couple weeks in the hospital. I just don’t understand why this won’t end! 

 

Carolee’s mom is a lot older than I expected. Very old school which I love. I can’t wait to see more of her and her meddling.

Quick question: I’m new to “The Doctors” thanks to RetroTV. I was watching a few episodes from this past week and I won’t have access to my DVR for a few weeks. Does anyone know the original air dates of the episodes that aired yesterday on Retro at 12PM and 12:30PM EST? I’d love to stay current on YouTube. Thanks!

The July 26 - August 2, 1976 episodes have been quite good.  Dr. Paul Summers manipulating an unstable Stacy into pulling the plug on Joan Dancy. Juxtaposition with Scott poisoning himself and framing Eleanor. I'm loving Kathryn Harrold as Nola. Even though Douglas Marland didn't create the Dancy's. In someways they remind me of the Snyder's on ATWT.

    • 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.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
