Members Khan Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 IIRC, Susan Hunter (then played by a different actress) left town after marrying Eric Peters, who she THOUGHT was her rapist, but turned out it was consensual and she just forgot. (Or something like that. Reading it in the history books, it seemed a bit like a ret-con.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 14, 2014 Members Share Posted April 14, 2014 Interestingly enough, Eric Peters was played by the late Stanley Kamel, best known to recent audiences as Dr. Kroger on Monk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 14, 2014 Members Share Posted April 14, 2014 Poor AW never even got a 35th anniversary special, as the cancellation notice had been handed down in May, and they were scrambling to tie up the loose ends. What a gyp - both for the people who worked on the show (in front of and behind the camera) and the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denzo30 Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 As AW's most fav fan, The show was prob at its worst point. No different than DOOL of GH all doing the same stupid stories but AW was all about drama and families. I realize that has changed long before 99 but the show could not grasp on what other soaps were doing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denzo30 Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 NOT me. Not a real big Denise Alexander fan. Really goofy and she should have stuck with her GH stuff. She worked well with that and she eventually came back. She had end star billing on AW and frankly I thought her role sucked. Kind of like of a remake Frame or Matthew mama that did not work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 They should have at least done a clip show or something. The fans deserved that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) "classicdaysof80s" has posted some great 86-87 AW episodes, such as these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFIjqFx8yN0 Comments: *After reading the synopses on the AWHP, I think that these two episodes aired around 5/15/87. *For those who care, Brad Pitt makes an appearance at around the 21 minute mark. *There are some really tense scenes involving Donna and the Hudson Brothers. A dark secret between Donna and John causes major tension. *It's too bad that Reginald wasn't on the show longer. While I usually don't like campy characters, I always thought that AW did a better job with such over-the-top characters than any other soap. (For one thing, AW's OTT characters were usually portrayed by really good actors. Also, AW often involved the likes of Cass and Felicia in many realistic storylines.) *M.J. was a boring character, but I enjoyed Adam. *The Sin Stalker attacks Felicia.

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 21, 2014 Members Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks again for posting that article. It really gives one insight not only into the soap world as it was back then, but also the publishing world at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted May 4, 2014 Members Share Posted May 4, 2014 Happy 50th Anniversary Another World. On May 4, 1964, Another World premiered on NBC. Another World was created by Irna Phillips and Bill Bell and broadcast from 3:00-3:30 On NBC. Original cast members were, from the Matthews family: Liz, Bill, Susan, Jim, Mary, Pat, Alice, Russ, Janet, Granny; Missy Palmer, and Ken and Tom Baxter. In the early years of the show, announcer Bill Wolff would begin each episode with the following epigram- "We do not live in this world alone, but in a thousand other worlds. And now the continuing story of Another World." All this month, let's celebrate by posting our most memorable moments of Another World! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
