I didn't mean to let the cat of the bag, but just wanted to give a heads up. The two episodes from 1977 was so great and to see the climax of a plot that had been going on for nearly 2 years with Carolee/Steve/Ann. I hope we can get the rest of the run through December 1982.

Several weeks ago I discovered this site and The Doctors thread.  I wanted to finish reading the entire thread before posting which was when Retro TV was canceled in the Los Angeles area

  I'm still mad that Retro TV can't get their act together and find an outlet over the air in LA or even better be offered on Roku or one of the streaming apps.  I was so excited to come in today and see that someone--Thanks! --had posted links to the end of the Ann Larimer story.  I just discovered that the person has posted the latest episode Oh Annie, Part 2 today.

Steve and Ann's confrontation reminded me so much of Kelly and Nola's on GL.

 

Still, even if I know David O'Brien (and everyone else) gave their best, Geraldine Court, IMO, acted damned circles around them.  And that, ladies and gents, always has been one of my major issues with TD.  With the exception of Kathryn Harrold, Armand Assante, and later Alec Baldwin and Kathleen Turner, the acting level on this show just plain stinks.

FYI:

 

That was me who posted those episodes. Those were too good not to share, but I won't be posting anymore anytime soon. I've had my YouTube channels for many years and I don't want any serious infractions.

With all due respect, is it a good idea to be posting a link to the above video on this board? Since Retro is already aware that people are posting episodes on YouTube and DailyMotion, and is getting those channels shut down, isn't this putting MontyB's channel at risk of being shut down? Not trying to stir up trouble here. Just asking a legitimate question.

I'm sorry to hear that those channels are gone. To be honest I haven't watched past 1969 as I didn't care for where the show was heading and I mostly just watched with my mother, but I still liked that the episodes were around if I wanted to ever catch up. Oh well.

Hi all!  Hoping you guys can help me out with a couple questions...

 

First, I know that the weekday airings are from 1977, so what year are the current Saturday and Sunday eps from?

 

Also, does anyone know where the YouTube folks were getting their airdate info from?

I just caught the tail end of a Sunday episode. Judging by the fashions, the presence of Carolee Campbell, the appearance of Althea, and the closing theme music, I'd think these episodes are from the late '60s.  I could be very wrong but hearing that different closing credits music really made me think it was earlier than the '70s

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.

      No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants.

      I did notice a decline in the quality of the performers being cast once Betty R vacated/retired from her position. We would have been spared from the nightmares of some of the castings that dominated the show in the last decade or so of the soap. JFP was an example of someone, no matter the gender, who had no business being in the position they were in.

      If Betty Rea was the casting director, why was so much of GL during JFP's reign cast by her? Walker, Deas, Crampton, Lando, etc. JFP takes credit for Dusay as well. What is the point of having a casting director, if you don't let her do her job? What happened when Rea left?

      So much on here slips my mind but this is the first I remember hearing of Peterson's passing. Very sad. Nell was a thankless role, clearly set up for a cheating storyline with Frank, but Peterson did her best.  Betty Rea Rea was the casting director for the soap opera “Guiding Light” from 1970 to 1996 and simultaneously the casting director for “As the World Turns” from 1979 to 1983.

      I can't remember exactly but I think it may be 1995 as Jake was trying to hide from a loan shark.
