Members Sapounopera Posted July 23, 2023 Members Share Posted July 23, 2023 Yeah, it was probably me every single time. For some reason the history of several Springfield sets confuses me. Don't ask me why I kept thinking that Ross bought the cottage in the Wexler residence for his new bride Carrie. (And that Alan ended up with the Wexler mansion after Amanda left town). Thanks for the answer! Thanks for the answer! Nola should have kept Company, or at least should have stayed in Springfield running the boarding house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2023 Members Share Posted July 23, 2023 For some reason I think I remember this being asked in SOD, but I may just be hallucinating. I hope someone who was watching at the time may know more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members antmunoz Posted July 25, 2023 Members Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Ben and Amanda lived in the carriage house, then Ross did for YEARS. I have a vague memory of Marah and her friends living in it before they moved into a dormant museum Am I right? One of the properties connected to Carrie Carruthers’ secret tunnels. I remember reading that the carriage house set was so old it literally fell apart. Who wound up in Reva Bend? Didn’t Holly buy it? Moving the Cross Creek cabin to Springfield…don’t get me started. The Spaulding “mansion” is a retcon. Alan and Elizabeth moved to Springfield and bought a house. Rita pressured Ed into buying an adjacent house so they could live among the wealthy. (Ed’s house was NICE. We last saw the living room when Carmen died for the last time, I think.) Hope used to come over and use Ed’s pool. I think they were backdoor neighbors. Only later had the Spauldings ALWAYS lived in Springfield in the mansion. But that’s not the actual history. Everyone lived in the damn Beacon by then anyway.

Members DRW50 Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) A very rare upload here. I kept trying to remember if I'd seen it before as there are a few episodes of this era I've seen that were never on Youtube or haven't been in years, but I'm 50-60% sure this is brand new. Any time I watch this era I'm fascinated by Kathy's story (year on year of perpetual anguish), so this episode was catnip for me. Susan Douglas wails the house down! I imagine some viewers found it tiresome but I can see why she was so loved. Patricia Wheel (I remember her from some radio soaps, including Radio Mirror covers), playing a nurse I'd never really heard much of, also gives a very tender performance toward the end. As a bonus you also get some Papa/Bill/Bert scenes. The date listed on the upload is 5/22/53. This is a lovely treat. I'm always so glad when anything from these wiped years reappears. I've never let GL or ATWT go, and in these moments it's like they've nevet let me go either. @Paul Raven @soapfan770 @Soapsuds @victoria foxton @Vee @SoapDope @antmunoz @slick jones @Mitch64 @vetsoapfan @Sapounopera@Franko @Fevuh @MichaelGL @Soaplovers @Liberty City @Spoon @GLATWT88 @kalbir @dc11786@FrenchFan Edited July 28, 2023 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 28, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 @DRW50 Thanks for sharing. I have never seen this before. Remember they were also doing radio at that time in a separate broadcast. Kathy went through a lot of trauma before being hit by that truck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Thank you for the mention @DRW50 . Any GL prior to the 1980s that turns up is a treat. My GL wishlist is 1976-1980 Roger/Holly storylines and 1989-1991 Robert Calhoun episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Much appreciated @DRW50!!!!! Thanks for sharing! One thing I just admire/adore is how GL and it’s set always looks so well polished compared to the other early 50’s soaps. Obviously it was a well running machine made even more successful with being on TV. The Kathy scenes were just so fascinating to watch…was that a young James Lipton as Dick? The Papa/Bill/Bert scenes just hold up well. Meta’s son Joey, whatever happened to him? Seems he got lost in the shuffle at some point which is disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
