Thanks for reminding me, @Reverend Ruthledge.  I forgot about that storyline.

I just love that picture of Lezlie Dalton/Elizabeth, Cindy Pickett/Jackie and Don Stewart/Mike.  Jackie (and her aviator scarf) are trying their hardest to get something through to Elizabeth and Mike, but Elizabeth's stoned or in a trance and Mike's wondering what's taking the delivery man so long with the pizza.

Any time anyone asks me about Lipton as a soap writer, I reply telling them how remarkable he was as the host of INSIDE THE ACTORS' STUDIO & add that in his book INSIDE INSIDE Chapter 8 is devoted entirely to actors who worked on soaps. 

For some time I've had a request in at SOAP WORLD wanting a copy of the SOAP OPERA WEEKLY 9-15-2009 issue "Guiding Light Collectors Edition" & I finally have it & will be posting from it. 

First, an overview of the headlines:

Looking Back at Our Town Through the Years

Roger Thorpe Holds Ex-Wife Hostage, Falls Off Cliff

Reva Lewis Drives Off Florida Bridge

Blackout Darkens Springfield

Town Races to Restart Lighthouse

Lighter Times

Maureen Bauer, Wife and Mother, Dies

My Two Mommies Find Love

It's Triangle City!

New Bride Killed In Hit-And-Run

Hometown History

Springfield Yearbook

The Four Musketeers

We Knew Them When ... 

With These Rings ... A GL Wedding Album

and the final page with a letter from the Weekly Editor who did this edition & pictures of the radio cast in 1947, the radio cast in 1950, Alexandra & Henry in 1991, Ed & Mike & Bert in 1977, Billy & Vanessa & HB in 1984, and the entire cast & crew on the last day in the studio on 8-7-2009.

Hope this will be fun!

The secretary is Ann Jeffers (Maureen Mooney)

That's Dan Hamilton and Christina Pickles as David Vested and Linell Conway.

Those pics are from two different times 1972 and 1976,I would say.

I'm sure similar press photos exist for other CBS soaps. Hopefully they will surface.

I've always been curious -- how do companies like ImagoImages, Getty Images, etc. get ownership of the online photos that bare their watermarks?  Do they actually buy the photos from the original owners?  Or do they just claim ownership and slap on their watermarks?  

For example, the photos in the post above were almost certainly originally owned by P&G Productions and P&G is almost certainly the entity that paid the photographer(s).  So in all likelihood, they were originally part of the P&G collection.  How did ownership transfer from P&G to ImagoImages?  Frankly, I would be very surprised if P&G went to the trouble of sorting through all their thousands of photos and decided to sell the rights to some of them.  That just doesn't sound like something P&G would do. Is there any chance these image/photo companies just steal the images and claim ownership with their watermarks?

Thanks.  Now, that makes me wonder about photographers who are dead.  Wondering how they get those rights. Oh well, I'm just going down a rabbit hole.  LOL

I did look up Getty Images on Wikipedia.  And near the end of the article, it does describe some questionable acquisition tactics that have allegedly been used.  Not sure how accurate it is, of course.

Those pictures are great.. I love young, sexy Alan (oh RR...you were never Alan) and even sexier Rita (she always seemed like a character that Pam Long would find interesting..) Does anyone know if they ever tried to bring MH back as Ed during all the time sourpuss PS was gone?

    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his latest scheme. At which point I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?
