My understanding is that it's the 11th. The version (or there was a version with the commercials) with commercials references the Democratic convention, which was the week of the 11th.

Thanks!

I can't fault Marj for going where a contract was going to be offered. Soaps save money keeping performers recurring, but they also risk losing them if said performers get another job that offers a contract.

Neither can I. It's a shame as her Alexandra was getting better treatment than she'd had in most of her first run, but a job is a job. And she got years of steady work from AMC, which was her best role aside from Myrna. Then luckily for her she was able to get back onto GL not too long after AMC - the writing was not good but at least she got some money for the rest of the decade (even if she wasn't on contract in the last years).

By the way, that's a YouTube account.

They just uploaded some episodes from August 1979. Not sure yet if they're some that have already been uploaded to YT. That is the period when Alan and Hope are stranded on the island, Jackie has a miscarriage, and Rita is upset that she isn't having orgasms during sex with Ed.

Thank you. They are on Youtube, but these may be a little longer...and one of them (the 24th) is harder to find, as it's no longer available on the account that originally uploaded it and before now just existed on a zombie/dupe channel.
