I'm liking how Aunt Liz was being used. Her loneliness and her fractured relationship with her daughter. Liz becoming close to Nicole. And becoming a partner in Nicole's business. If i'm not mistaken this was dropped after the writer's strike.
On this rewatch i've noticed the use of music in scenes. For example, Steely Dan's ''Hey Nineteen '' playing in a scene with Cheryl and John. Or Cyndi Lauper's ''Girls Just Want To Have Fun'' playing. As Cheryl and Lisa were fed up being nice girls. And decide to go on a shopping excursion to release stress.

I liked the Liz and Nicole relationship also. 
 

But I’ll never understand how Liz and Rachel dropped ALL their animosity towards each other. 
 

That clip where Liz returns to Bay City after a year away and they HUG. Oh my. 
 

Was there an an actual story where they made peace?  Or did that just fall through the cracks?

We know Vicky W  still had the ability to ice out anyone she was upset with (as Rachel).  Felicia saw that after her alcoholic storyline, especially that scene during Ada’s passing.  
 

Maybe Vicky was happy that Irene was back, more so than Rachel should’ve been.

 

But, hey, I have problems with Rachel and Alice ever being civil with one another too.

 

A person can grow and mature and mellow but still hate an old enemy.  Emotionally, you can go RIGHT BACK THERE to when you despised them.  
 

I grew up with Rachel tormenting Alice.  Sweet Rachel was a bit difficult for me

I absolutely agree. Reformed Rachel was okay. Mellowed Rachel was okay.  But sweet Rachel and heroine Rachel became ridiculous.   After all, this is the woman who purposefully sent a package of baby-clothes to Alice, just a few days after Alice's miscarriage.  Rachel ain't nobody's heroine.  And Lemay always wrote Rachel as damaged -- even after he reformed her.  And again, when he returned in '88.  It was the other writers who wrote Rachel as the sweet heroine.

AW tidbits

Back in March 71 an ad in Variety for a 15 week acting class conducted by Constance Ford at Carnegie Hall beginning March 1.

The 3pm timeslot competition was fierce

Nov 78

GL#1 8.3/30

GH #7 7.1/25

How the mighty have fallen- in October 79 AW was beaten in the ratings by The Doctors and fell out of the Top 10 with a rating below 6.5.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
    • Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
