It also has some old soap books, e.g., Soap World by Robert LaGuardia, etc.  You have to have an account and check those out digitally, but all they ask for is an e-mail and password.  It's linked with openlibrary.org.  The books can be read on a computer but I have an app called Digital Editions, that enables me to download it on my ipad.

Hi Another World fans,

If you didn't know, the Another World Home Page (anotherworldhomepage.com) is a great source of show history.

If you do know of it, here's news about three current and ongoing projects:

1) The Actor Guide is being expanded to include links to Wikipedia and IMDb pages for the many actors who appeared on the show. It continues to surprise how many have/had successful careers in film, TV, and theatre. This project has just started, and needs help. If you're interested in helping research actors for the expanded list, please let me know.

2) Mike McGavin is back from another successful research visit to the microfilm script library. He'll have an update soon with new information, dates, and synopses for the 1960s and 1970s.

3) Have you ever wondered exactly how many and which episodes of Another World are "out there," that have been digitized and made available online for viewing? Mike W. does a great job maintaining a list of the AOL (1980-1981) and Hulu (1991-1992) episodes available on YouTube. But what most people don't know is that sites like YT reconfigure any video that's uploaded, distorting the perspectives and significantly reducing the image and sound quality. Tech expert Dan has plans to re-encode all the VHS tapes he can get his hands on to make the AW episodes available in higher quality than most of us have ever seen before. And perhaps you can help. Read about the project here:

Eddie,
AWHP (1995-forever)

I am happy to see Eddie here. His AW site is a treasure trove for AW fans, and I can readily attest to his friendliness, helpfulness, and generosity. I have bought various video items from him over the years and have always been thrilled with his material.

 

It's great to know that the AW site is still being updated!

I'm also thrilled to see Eddie here. AWHP is one of the first major soap sites I ever visited, and I was amazed at all the work undertaken. I'm so amazed it's still around and updated. It helps keep AW alive. 

 

@EddieAWHP I keep meaning to post more of the old AW articles I have. I imagine most of them you already have but if I ever put any up that you don't and you need them for your site, feel free.

Just checked out the above site. Wow! Lots of awesome articles and the like on there. Will take me days to go through it!

 

Is most of the SoapNet run on YouTube?  I thought it wasn't - there are no full episodes with dates on there, just lots of short clips with different names. However, I've come across some playlists from 1989, 1990, 1991, and they appear to have all been put  in order by someone. I'm currently in May 1989 - loving rewatching the Jason Frame murder, it's really quite well done. They must have known the murderer from the start because it's right there in the performance! My thanks to all the uploaders, and the people who take the time to put them in order into playlists!!

    • I actually like Alex/Gabi.   I didn't mind JJ/Gabi, but I agree JJ is a bore.  I am confused as to why Brady is on the hospital board?  Something to do with Isabella, I assume?   If Rachel is the shooter the recast makes a bit more sense.
    • @FaulknerI do agree with you about the male characters. I feel like I've been overlooking that because a female-driven soap has been so rare these days.  They have some relationships they could build upon but not nearly enough. The male characters for the most part don't have any friends or family to help develop them. This is also part of the issue with having only one main family.   
    • I still suspect they won't show a kid holding and shooting a gun. I think she stabbed him, and then someone else shot him to cover it up.
    • Slow burn episode leading up to the main event: Who will steal the drug first? I am hoping EJ connives his way into buying a money pit of a hospital and the drug ends up at TitanDimera. I like seeing the votes being tallied for the hospital board, but so far I don't see any for EJ. Kayla, Kate and Brady, despite Kristen's attempts to control him, all are voting Titan. I am assuming Philip will blow the whole deal for them given the way Xander and Alex were talking today. Alex and Gabi were far more entertaining that his sexcapades with Stephanie. A little conversation goes a long way. I like to see characters actually connect before they jump into bed, but that's just me. I am still hoping for Gabi and Philip if they are testing her with everybody. Guess the new writers were as bored with JJ as I was. Arianna coming back will be fun. Just in time for Aaron Greene to return for the summer perhaps?  The tea party was a hoot. Just the two boys in their hats was worth the price of admission. Belle is obviously well aware that EJ kidnapped Mother Blake and does not care. As long as she is embracing her hypocrisy because EJ is great in bed I am good with it. Kayla was having none of her pitch though. Xander is definitely the lesser of two evils here. For all those guessing Wee Rachel was the shooter. I think that story is commencing now they have ruled out Kristen, Ava, Gabi, Johnny, Roman and Kate
    • The Anna/Jason symbiotic relationship is the one that sticks out to me.  They went way out of their way to tell us & show us that they really think they get each other. Basically they have INSISTED that they are somehow perfect partners. Plus, in Africa they treated us to a "Are We About To Die?" kiss. Meanwhile they have worked & overworked the idea that they were  NOT going there of course because to Jason she is & always will be Robin's mother. Okay, geeze, fine, use time, space & dialog to push a variety of different messages, some of which seem to us to clash! We're just the fans, being told what to think. Don't mind us at all when we grumble. If Robin were watching this show, I can only imagine the "Letters to the Editor"!!! 
    • I wish the Black male characters felt more fleshed out (and I’m not talking about gross 2000s-style man pain like with Jonathan Randall or Billy Abbott). I feel like we don’t have as much access to their interior worlds, which—fine—female genre. Right now, the balance on BTG feels off to me gender-wise, mostly because there are a lot of Dupree daughters (Chelsea, Naomi, Dani, Nicole, Kat, possibly Eva) and only one son (Martin). Feel free to disagree. I think Andre, Bill, and Martin feel closest to male “main characters” to me (Jacob had his quick moment), in that they can drive a scene from their POV and not as a supporting character. I’m waiting for the secrets to be fully revealed so that the men can show more layers. But things like having two cheating husbands stand out more in this type of environment.
    • I'll get back to you when Jordan appears on screen. Lol!  
    • Don't feel bad: most do. I know it's in the "less than" category of opinions. And lunch? What's for lunch today?

       Definitely am improvement overall, hah. I want someone to call him "bastard". Ha. Maybe I should sneak into Port Charles for a second.
    • A very underrated writer/director, IMO.  Of course, not all of his films were successful or memorable, but the ones that are - "Kramer," "Places in the Heart," "Nobody's Fool," etc. - are masterpieces.
