Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad they remembered ATWT and GL. It's long overdue. I hope it might mean more acknowledgment in future. I wish they could have turned the music down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted Sunday at 02:30 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 02:30 AM While the mentioning of beloved classic soaps was nice, they clearly did not do actual research. The first error they made was announcing that As the World Turns ran for 72 years. Um, nope, that was The Guiding Light. Also, they were wrong about the creation of the soap genre. The first one was neither TGL nor ATWT. Clara, Lu and Em, and Irna Phillip's Painted Dreams predated them (debuting in 1930). https://www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com/soap-opera/clara-lu-and-em https://www.otrr.org/FILES/Synopsis_txt/P_Series/Painted_Dreams.htm This is as careless as referring to Mary Stuart as Mary Stewart on screen, when the actress died. Yikes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 02:33 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 02:33 AM You're totally right, but I think this is part of soap history in a GPT world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted Sunday at 02:35 AM Members Share Posted Sunday at 02:35 AM Well, when it comes to our beloved and unfairly driven-into-the-ground soaps...WE, the staunch fans, direct how the world turns! LOL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted Sunday at 06:39 AM Author Members Share Posted Sunday at 06:39 AM I guess P&G were referring to the term 'soap opera' which came to be after they began sponsoring the shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted Sunday at 12:05 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 12:05 PM (edited) Oh God, not to go back to this again but I forgot about Harley's endlessly under construction house! For some reason I thought you were talking about another Peapack 'set'. What a world. Edited Sunday at 12:05 PM by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted Sunday at 04:07 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 04:07 PM (edited) I have never seen Guiding Light, I just posted the video on this GL thread because it's interesting. He specifies in the video that this is a piece of the mantel -- related to their wedding, "they had carved their names always forever". Hopefully what he said is enough to go on for those familiar with the storylines. I just think it's interesting that P&G had that "artifact" as he called it, in some sort of archive or storage or something.

Members Mitch64 Posted Sunday at 04:12 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 04:12 PM Ha...and Wheeler tried to convince us this was to reflect on the "unfinished" aspect of Gus and Harley's relationship...(and they were trying to sell us on them being a supercouple.) Someone upthread mentioned the junk in the backyard, that was Harley's house....I kept thinking DCFS was going to come and take those kids...I was watching the show one night and my partner asked what the hell I was watching, I told him, and he said, "Looks like a bunch of white trash hillbillies running around." I could not argue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
