Members juppiter Posted January 21, 2012 Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 Don't remember when, but they had the cast do the announcing for a while after that. They didn't need him anymore though, with no sponsor tag in the opening credits. It was like, "Yeah, this show is called As the World Turns, thanks Dan I can read." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted January 21, 2012 Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 To be honest, not much. What was cool about it was that it was a collection of all the SOD synopses for the full year with (I think) a few other interviews and features mixed in (I'd have to dig my copy up and look at it since it's been awhile since I've read it). SOD did those with several other series, but I *think* the only ones I've actually seen are ATWT, AW, and DAYS. The ATWT seems to pop up on ebay far more often than any of the other series, though. I don't think I really paid that much for mine (definitely not more than $20 and I really doubt it was even that much, probably in the $10 range or under). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2012 Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks. The Daytime TV Library series are just fantastic, but I know little about the SOD things, other than the cover. They could have at least had a few more cast members doing fashion shows. I never got to see Helen Wagner wearing mod clothes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Quent Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Although the clips above happened WAY before, whenever I see Susan, Emily and Alison together, I think of when poor Mama Stewart learned that her two daughters were a prostitute and a meth-addict porn star. Happy Mothers Day, Susan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members saynotoursoap Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Dan was fired in July 1998, as part of the cost cutting scheme. I too feel that it was mistake to let him and other announcers go. Some considered announcers a hoary leftover from the early days of soaps, but I felt they added a continuity that is sadly lacking today. Even Michael Logan complained to P&G and was basically told that he needed to get a life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think announcers held a special place on P&G soaps, as P&G soaps represented family and home. I guess P&G was ashamed of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
