To go with what @vetsoapfan said in the ATWT thread about Jacqueline Courtney mentioning in an old interview that she had various episodes, I know Laurie Heineman said in the late '90s that she had had to buy the episode that ended up winning  her an Emmy. 

I wish there was some way to know if these episodes are still around and to preserve them. Not to shame the people who spend their time and effort on those archives, but it's jarring sometimes to remember that people have invested far more in finding and restoring no-budget pornos filmed in rundown apartments in the '50s, '60s and '70s than has been spent on finding and salvaging old soap episodes that kept their networks solvent for years and years.

Anne Heche was literally one of the best actresses in any genre that I have ever seen. She just happened to grace Daytime back then. Her Vicky Hudson was a force of nature, and she imbued Marley with a wistful soulfulness, too. One of my favorite heroines of all time.

Anne Heche was such a talent, she seemed to have a lot of sensitivity and humanity. For me, the tragedy is that she wrestled with terrible personal demons and now it ends this way. So many people suffer trauma which has ongoing ripple effects across years, decades, generations. I wish we could offer better ways to heal.

So sad about Anne Heche.  I was a year or so late for her original AW run, but I'm so glad I got to watch most all of it on SoapNet.  Those clips above are great.  I have no words.

And the news about RGW...I had no idea she was ill, but I always had a soft spot for her characterization of Maggie, if not the stories (the writing for the character got so much worse after she left).

The YT account for the Dearly Departed site uploaded a video 3 days ago actually showing the house that Anne Heche had crashed into up close. This was obviously just before her death as she is mentioned as being ill in the hospital.

    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 
    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired
