I'm going to try to catch this live.

The ATWT livestream has about 9700 views.  If that could somehow be bumped up to 10,000 perhaps it might encourage Locher (or someone else) to do more of these. If people have a lot of soap fans on their social media (outside of this board), maybe they can get them to watch/listen.  If there is a sense that a respectable number of people are interested via the view count, who knows? Someone might decide that there is enough interest to engage fans of these shows a bit more, down the road.

If the special guest is EW, I think that would be insane, considering Maureen and Jerry's involvement, how Robert Newman has basically panned Peapack or literally doesn't want to talk about it, and Zimmer spoke negatively about in her book.  It would make sense to invite someone that everyone invited actually had a good working relationship with (and not a boss). This isn't a decade ago and a Ryan's Hope chat that had alum actors with creator/writer Claire Labine. With the ATWT livestream, I am surprised that more haven't watched, but perhaps how you have to go to the specific youtube page is a deterrent. What would be cool is if they had clipped a couple of best moments and have the ATWT peeps tweet them to see how much reaction happened.

Maureen looks amazing. She has not aged.

 My heart is so full right now. Kim's daughter is a front line nurse and had to be tested and they're waiting for the results.

 

It's really ... something ... how we truly are in this pandemic together.

I can't believe Maureen Garrett is almost 72 . With her being on the west coast, why hasn't one of the remaining shows tried to cast her? I would love to see Maureen playing a grande dame diva.

Getting used to Maureen not having red hair but she basically looks the same. Everybody looks pretty good. Nice to see. I'm glad that at least 1,000 people are watching. Hopefully more people watch as it goes along and the replay. This is just making me want them to keep doing these.

I can't believe that either! So many of these great actors are just sitting at home. I know they have other interests, jobs, do other things, so they're not sitting there waiting for the phone to call but ugh. So many talented soap vets not being used hurts my heart.

 

Nice seeing Jill Lorie Hurst, Mimi Torchin and others in the chat

 

Stephanie Gatschet and Crystal Chappell are also in the chat

 

LOL at Kim "time traveling through Crystal's boobs" and Maureen bringing up the children kidnapping storyline. OMG I'm dying. MORE OF THIS!!!

 

Kim brought up Blake's twins. LMAO.

 

Jerry brought up Jane Elliot/Carrie

Aww, Marj Dusay. I liked Kim mentioned filling Bev's shoes and how the character was different.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
