Carl,

Those are the episodes that are still up on YT - the ones that were on on the Soap Classics set! Its the recent ones that everyone's been chatting about from late 1981 and mid 1982 that are now gone.

It's disappointing, regardless. I could understand if they were officially out (or had been out) on DVD, but they were clearly not of broadcast quality, and certainly wouldn't harm any current campaign that P&G are touting for the classic soaps...

...oh, wait - they don't HAVE one! Like Nothin'ButAttitude pointed out above, if they would just release them officially, fans wouldn't be taking this into their own hands.

They uploaded some Y&R material, along with Peyton Place (a lot of Peyton Place), so that may be it.

I've talked to them some a little and they were always friendly, no ego like many on YT. It sucks that this happened to them.

I'm glad I saved their GL stuff. I wish I'd saved the Peyton Place...I never even got around to watching it.

I've done so as well and you're absolutely right. I wish I had their email or something just to keep in touch and talk some more about the early '80s.

I'm friendly with some of the other uploaded (not terribly much so) and you're right about CG's lack of ego. I appreciate how much they like talking about the show as well as upload it.

Damn, this sucks!! 😡

    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
    • Jordan should have been killed or written out a decade ago.
