I keep hoping to find more late 1983/early 1984 to see the introduction of David and Kevin Thatcher, Sally and Peter splitting up, Donna's interference. 

I keep checking too. There’s always a chance that a “new” episode will show up on YouTube

A decision that turned sour which was one of the initial “nails in the coffin “ that helped with the series downhill spiral

And today's the anniversary of John's death, which was supposed to be the big event that kicked off the 90 minute episode. I wonder if how the show did in the ratings for that first week. 

After 15 years at 3pm AW moves to 2.30. I imagine a lot of viewers were unwilling or unable to change their habits and the 90 min did drag.

Not to mention that ABC and CBS came ready to fight. This was the week of Karen on the stand on OLTL and Roger raping Holly on GL. Not sure what was going on on GH (Lassa Fever?).

A daily, 90-minute soap was never going to work.  You'd either have scenes with too much padding, or a cast with so many characters that audiences wouldn't be able to know who was who.

I think AW managed to do both!
