Based on the voiceover promo under the fourth episode's credits (the QEII episode) and the commerical teasing the June 19, 1984, edition of the Enquirer, and assuming the last one didn't jump ahead, these are from Friday, June 8-Thursday, June 14, 1984.

Interesting that CBS Daytime had another big wedding two weeks after the last one (Steve & Betsy, ATWT). At least there was more than a month between Victor & Nikki, Y&R, and Steve & Betsy.

I found an old video no longer on Youtube and put it back up. It has several Capitol episodes. The video was titled Capitol and As the World Turns November 1986, but the ATWT episode is not from that time period, so if you know the dates for the Capitol episodes, I would appreciate any help.

0:00 to 6:38 is Wednesday, April 23, 1986. That night, CBS reran The Seduction of Gina, the movie teased during the first set of Capitol end credits.

6:39 to 31:10 is Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1986, per the promo for the next day's coverage of the All-American Thanksgiving Parade.

31:10 to 33:50 is a possible rerun of the Dec. 3, 1986, episode of Oprah with Burt Reynolds, with a cameo from a commerical for The Hanoi Hilton, released March 27, 1987. --- And now I'm just showing off.

33:50 to close is Tuesday, Jan. 20, 1987, per the promo for that night's broadcast of The Man With Two Brains.

Thanks for your help. I never do know how these work and you always do. So the ATWT was already available after all.

If you want me to credit you in the video just let me know.

Did anyone read Mike Poirer's article on Marlena Delacroix's site about Capitol's history? The most interesting nugget was that James Lipton wasn't planning on staying much longer had the show continued and Samuel Ratcliffe and Peggy Sloane were set to take over as headwriters.

I had no idea Jon Cypher was supposed to portray Sen. Mark Denning.  I wonder why they replaced him.  Did he leave to take another gig, or did it just not work out?

    • Possibly.  I remember the "movie" being Jack/Jen, Bo/Carly, and John/Isabella centric.  I am assuming they are just recreating the idea of people/couples being brought together in a storm, which isn't very creative in the first place.  One Stormy Night was the worst of the 3 primetime movies too. Lol.  Fair.  Writing some press releases for her the two clients she has does not mean she can write what looked to be a 500 page novel. Stephanie spends 20 hours a day figuring out her love life anyway.
    • One Stormy Night was the name of the January 1992 Days primetime episode. https://www.jason47.com/days/episodeguide1992.html From jason47 bio of Jeanne Marie Ford:  when I was in high school, my best friend got me hooked on 'Days.'  She first worked on the "Days" staff in 1992 as an unpaid intern and soon after became the show's writer's assistant from 1992-1996. https://www.jason47.com/days/writersinfo.html
    • I have not been convinced any Stephanie since Shayna Rose can read.
    • The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it.
    • As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go. 
    • Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7: Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals  Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones, but it's not an official preemption.

Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates. On CBS only. BeyondTheGates: This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada. Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues.

    • Stephanie writing a novel is odd.  She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type.  Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's?  That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC.  Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence.  And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.
    • And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
    • Anita Dupree is Ruth Marshall from Generations. Ruth also a past of being a singer who gave it up because of raising a family and having a husband.
