Thanks Toups for putting this up.

As I have said earlier,ATWT has always had a special place in my heart. I didn't choose my username at random,you know!

I was born the year before ATWT. So many great memories.

I have so many memories I need to get my thoughts together.

It is like a death in the family!

A dark day indeed!

I watched this episode this morning. I'd never seen it all before, just the clips of Penny, Don, and Bob talking, and the part where Nancy and Chris talk about having "50 more." Such a beautiful episode. Even those it's dripping in corniness, it was just well-done.

Here's the beginning of a 1978 episode, later featuring a then-newly cast Colleen Zenk as Barbara Ryan:

That 1978 episode is a real treat to watch. That disco set!

I really like the anniversary episode. I miss the days when soaps were happy to be corny and not try to be "hip", like a lot of the flat anniversary episodes from the 90s (I still cringe when I think of the 1996 episode having "classic" clips of Connor and Mark having sex in the treehouse). Don McLaughlin (Chris) was near tears for a lot of the episode, because of what had been done for the anniversary, and for the Hughes family. Considering that he and Helen Wagner had basically been run off the show 5 years earlier, I can see why he was so moved.

The part where they sing "Always", and we see the clips of so many favorites through the years, and also clips of Grandpa Hughes, Judge Lowell, etc. is what always makes me tear up.

The episode leading up to that, where Don and Penny return, is also very good.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.
