I don't think she truly calmed down until the 70s. After Bill faked his death, Papa Bauer died and she eased into the matriarch role. It's funny because most people remember the kindly matriarch Bert of the 70s and 80s when they were watching and never witnessed anything else. I have the opposite viewpoint in that I really only started watching GL right before Bert died so I don't remember her much as the kindly matriarch. I don't have many episodes from the 70s but have a lot of episodes from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Most of the experience I have with Bert was when she was a bitch-on-wheels. LOL. I'm sure people are shocked when I say I didn't like Bert.

interesting to see ABC belatedly entering the soap world with revivals including Joyce Jordan, Evelyn Winters, Mary Marlin etc. At this point I think daytime radio wasn't really feeling the effect of TV, so soaps were still popular enough.

But I don't think ABC made much of an impact as most of those shows were cancelled in 52.
