May 1996 NBC Another World promo

Thanks. It took me a bit to figure out that Blair Baker was the woman being pushed.

I know this was when they were going for a nightime ER and/or procedural feel (and ads are not necessarily representative of the actual show) but it is still weird to have the impression that Gabe is the main character. Rachel doesn't even speak!

Of all the producers I think JFP had the least interest in Rachel. She seemed to immediately get more story once JFP left, and even though she wasn't heavily used under Goutman she was still a presence.

Thank you! Savage Iris! MY favorite! WOOOF.

Thanks so much @MissPalmer !

So close to getting an era I actually want to see (Lemay), but any lost AW is worth finding.

Glad that this has a bit more of Lionel Johnston's Michael. I would have had so many story plans for that character if I had been writing AW at that time (admittedly they never would have gotten through anyway as I would have made him bisexual and in a relationship with an older male lawyer).

@Maxim Yes it's always good to see more of Iris. How I love Beverlee. I enjoy seeing an early, tougher Blaine too...and Vivien as bodyguard. I love that arm grab from Iris. In another life she was a bouncer.

This is also some of the earliest Cecile I've seen. I am not sure if she had already gone "bad" by this point and was hiding it or if she was still sweet at this time. Susan Keith's Cecile always fascinates me.

@vetsoapfan You may enjoy seeing this too, especially the vintage DAYS.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I posted the video in the Days behind the scenes thread and The Doctors thread. I figured someone found it before me....LOL

Thanks @MissPalmer and @DRW50 !

Thanks for the tag!

And right when we were talking about Chris and Amanda's relationship in the Days thread 😂

As for Cecile, I don't think she had gone bad yet. Based on what I've read, it sounds like she turned once she found out that Iris had paid Philip to get her away from Jamie.
