Damn. Another World was most definitely an innovator when it came to soaps.

  • First to expand to an hour
  • Only soap to be 90 minutes
  • Only soap to have TWO spinoffs
  • Was originally intended to be a spinoff to World Turns
  • First soap [i think] to use marginalized credits
  • First soap [i think] to do next day previews

Were they the only soaps to ever do a preview of what was to occur that day before the show started?

Interesting to watch these in hindsight. Some of the scenes eg Russ and Kit were draggy.

And Jamie and Rick looked so skinny (the baggy clothes and shaggy hair doesn't help) No way would today's leading men get away with bodies like those.

And the same for some of the women,who were a little lacking 'upstairs' by today's standards.

Were Rachel's clothes awful even back then?

Blaine really stood out- Laura Malone really had something.

L Virginia Browne had some good ideas but things like Jamie/Marianne and Blaine/Joey seem forced.

Wasn't this the 2nd time Jamie came home married to a woman Rachel hated?

Really? For years, that cover always seems to pop up whenever I've done a BM search. I must say though, that's the clearest picture of it that I've ever seen. Her skin is like porcelain. I once read a fan encounter, someone who sat next to her on a flight, and they said the very same.

Whenever I see that BM/VW cover, I think, "This must have been the year that Annie Hall came out."

    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.

    • lol. But...SAME. in Mona's 'Good' voice.
    • I loved your rambling because you had some good thoughts.  Stopped watching Y&R years ago so can't comment on that, as far as Lame is concerned. No cares in the world. 
    • 5-7   All I took from that episode was how much I love Damian and Lily and Billy needs to STFU. I KNEW HE WAS PRESSED how Nikki came into the office the day he had to leave it and would want payback on her, too. Whiny a$$.
