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?
