I'm getting there!! So disappointing that she keeps running back to Nick, another character that I'm not too crazy about.

I just started the ep from Friday, February 9, and it begins with Liz coming downstairs after Nick told her in the previous episode that Althea losing her baby doesn't mean they'll get back together. About how far away am I from Polly's niece(s) coming and Steve returning to the screen?

You're not too terribly far - the nieces show up at the end of February/beginning of March. You'll be seeing more and more of Steve as he is assigned more responsibilities at the hospital, and Nick does get better as time goes on - especially as he is assigned the case of a most unusual surgical patient. Bill and Ruth Winters do reach an understanding and they receive a special gift.

Meanwhile, enjoy Bethel while you still can because we're in the April episodes now, and she leaves the show for good when in August, Lydia Bruce takes over the role of Maggie (and keeps it until the show ends in 1982). It's been said here that Bethel went out to Hollywood to make a movie, taking a leave of absence, but then decided to stay in CA for good.

Good news - I have found a fan mail address for Liz Hubbard, at a talent agency in NYC. I was doing some searching on Google when I found a fan mail address website for various stars. I called the Sullivan Talent Group in NYC myself to make sure the address was still valid and they still represent her. The gentleman I talked to (who was VERY nice) said yes, they still represent Liz and that fans are welcome to send her letters c/o their agency. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll share the address. I sent out my letter the other day, and I'll let you all know whether or not I hear back from her!!!

First episode today - everybody get ready to groan. Guess who's back from Europe!! I laughed out loud when Maggie and Steve were working in the clinic, and he said he'd have to turn the heat up as the temperature in the room had become freezing. The look on Bethel's face was absolutely priceless!!!

On the upside, Steve was reading a postcard from Cousin John, who is now visiting France and having a wonderful time. Liz seemed happy for him. Speaking of which, those two sure aren't doing much to be discreet, are they? I already feel so bad for Carolee.

Second episode - we finally learn what the Andersons - or shall we say, MR. ANDERSON - has against doctors. I wonder if this was the first time a story on that issue had been done on a soap. I don't think even GH touched that subject.

Yeah, Maggie's eye rolling was in overdrive today (understandably). I'm very interested in how the Andersons' situation is going to be handled.


Not until Matt stops enabling her! Maybe Steve's comments about the other interns thinking Karen is receiving favoritism from the Chief of Staff will do the trick.

I think he's a piece of work, but I sorta chuckle at how utterly shameless he is at being obnoxious and self-centered. It's hilarious how he always ends up in the middle of things and no one ever just tells him to get the hell out. When he showed up at the hotel after they pulled Liz off the ledge, he just rolled in the room and positioned himself right in her face as everyone stood and watched, and he just started messing with her like it's his job. I have to admire his brazenness laugh.png But I wouldn't be against someone just hauling off and smacking him. Maggie's more than capable.

I'm intrigued by this Anderson story y'all are talking about! Somebody spoiler tag it so I can see what's going on lol

So now we know, Ralph has "issues". Poor Lila.....

I liked the Matt/Maggie episode yesterday. It's a shame the Y&R writers didn't see this before doing that gawdawful Nick episode an the horrible Snortoria episode. Lakin sure knew how to write to her character's strengths.[Not to mention subtlety and nuance, two things that JM and AH are not good at.] JM's episode was a little better than AH's.

Loved the look on Althea's face after Maggie filled her in on the deets of her day with Matt, and Karen's admission to him.

Pritchett sure loved that pipe, didn't he?

Nice to get a John Rice mention.

I remember reading about Steve Aldrich having kids with a variety of women, but I never pictured him as the player that he was back in these days.[i had only seen him in the 78-82 time frame on and off.]

Carolee Campbell's wacky bits brighten up every episode she appears in.

Steve is also the only one who pronounces "Werner" with a "V", in true German fashion. I have to wonder if any of the fans ever gave it to Laryssa Lauret on the streets, telling her to leave Matt alone or some such thing. It seems TD never got quite as much attention as other soaps from the time, like ATWT and GL did, but TD sure had its share of loyal fans.

Here's a real treat - from 1978, James Pritchett's Emmy Award acceptance speech for when he was named Best Actor. It's audio only, but you can still pick up on the excitement. The ceremony was hosted by Richard Dawson, and the Best Actor trophy was presented by AMC's Mary Fickett (Ruth Martin). It starts around the 47:40 mark:

      Another World Discussion Thread

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
