RH seemed like a mess at this time. The butchery of Roger's character in those 1984 synopses is insane, and I never even liked Roger.

Don't worry Quinn and Donna...the strange anti-miscegenation forces in Bay City will make sure no interracial couple ever go anywhere. I think poor Thomasina had this same story a year later, with Ben McKinnon, didn't she?

OLTL also seems all over the place at this time, but this caught my eye.

Can you imagine what stories would have been told if this had turned out to be true?

So this is what counted as a story for Quint and Nola by 1985.

Was this some sort of gay gang??

On ATWT, they weren't saying Lyla once dated Frank were they?

[Dale]

Hi, FrenchFan! Those classic recaps are awesome! Thanks for posting them! I watched Edge, GL and OLTL back in those days, and these brought back some great memories!

[Paul Raven]

Really,looking back,the 80's were a bad time for quality storytelling.

Sure,there were some great stories,but the shows had lost their identities.

The hour format brought too many characters and stories and the constant backstage changes damaged the shows.

[MichaelGL]

Carl you seem to be a AW aficionado, was this time better than Margaret DePiest's or worst? Looking at the summaries, I know Alice was a big character for the show and to have her return must have must see for some fans. Didn't Steve Frame come back to Bay City as well in the form of David Canary? I know both were quite big in the late 60s under Agnes Nixon, you think the return of this once powerful supercouple would have helped somewhat with the ratings for the show around this time.

[Paul Raven]

When Steve returned,the show had been damaged by a series of writer changes.The Alice recast Linda Borgeson was superbland and it became Rachel/Steve which alienated Rachel/Mac supporters.

Jacquie Courtney came back after Steve died again and wasn't given much to do in the year she was there.

[DRW50]

By the time Steve returned as David Canary, Alice had been greatly diminished as a character. She was played by her third or fourth recast, Linda Borgeson. No Alice ever caught on after Jacquie Courtney left. The story, which had him trying to settle with Alice but wanting Rachel, sent Alice out of town for several years. David Canary is such a brilliant and charismatic actor but I think it may have been too soon for viewers to accept anyone but George Reinholt, who dominated that role. The writing on AW was also uneven at this time, and Rachel's soulmate was Mac. I don't think viewers were willing to see Rachel move on.

When Jacquie returned in 1984, from what I've read, they barely used her. She spent most of her time as a talk-to for her daughter Sally. Jacquie then left after a year.

I haven't seen a lot of this era, just clips mostly, but from what I've seen, and read about, this era was better than DePriest's. I guess that DePriest's era got the ratings up, but I don't like the woman-hating, serious woman-hating, endemic in her writing. I said this in another thread but what a way for Soapnet viewers to start off with AW -- episodes where one woman remembers her teenage rape and the murder of her parents by her rapist, while another woman falls apart as she tells her uber-judgmental fiance that she was once a prostitute. I also don't like Reginald Love, I don't like the concept of him, or what he did to the character of Donna, and I think that overall he was too powerful and too one dimensional. To me the Loves were women, not Michael and Reginald snorting at each other. That story was also the death of Peter Love, which is a disappointment, since he could have been used for some support for Donna or Vicky later on.

[DRW50]

You can see photos here of various Alices. Vana Tribbey doesn't show up anymore. I used to see her name mentioned on "Worst Recast of All Time" fan lists.

FrenchFan, you are for bringing these recaps and all their memories to us. Victor and Nikki's 1984 wedding and the episodes surrounding it are among Y&R's best, no to mention it was the best wedding ever on daytime.

It seems that every show in the mid-1980s, except for Y&R and later B&B, tried to copy General Hospital and Days in the action/adventure/supercouple formula, but without the same degree of success.

[Khan]

I'm sorry, but I can't read anymore of these old synopses. When even SEARCH FOR TOMORROW's crap "sounds" better than today's OLTL, you know soaps are dying.

[Pine Charles]

Erica didn't have "fine lineage" like Pheebs.

[FrenchFan]

Thanks
