Members Paul Raven Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Variety May 1st 1981 Paul Roberts, last season a story consultant for NBC-TV's "Days Of Our Lives," has been named head writer for CBS-TV's soap "As The World Turns". He replaced the Dobsons.I think his stint was interrupted bt the writers strike. ATWT went downhill during this time.

Members zanereed Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 Speaking of 1973, I'm hoping saynotooursoap or someone else remembers this: If you were lucky enough to see Liz Talbot Stewart's "death scene" in 1973 when Liz fell *up* the stairs, how did it look? I'm still trying to imagine this playing out on screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I was young at the time but I remember Liz's death on the stairs. I don't remember thinking anything odd about the fall. I just remember being shocked and upset over her death because she was one of my favorites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 At the time did you feel like the Stewarts were all being rushed off the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I probably wasn't yet sophisticated enough to think along those lines (though I was sorry the members of the triangle were gone)! I remember being really concerned about Betsy being an orphan (or thinking she was anyway). Edited November 15, 2012 by jam6242 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 It must have been odd viewing at the time, but then I wasn't there so I can't say. Do you remember the other stories going on at the time, how you felt about them at the time? Did you have an opinion on the Bob/Kim/Jennifer story? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Well, I liked Kim so I was on her side whatever she did. Something about Jennifer put me off, I don't really know what it was, I didn't find her sympathetic. Were Carol and Tom a couple at this time? I liked them too. This may have been a little later but I was really into the Lisa/Grant/Joyce triangle. Barbara Rodell was such a great villainess. Joyce made Lisa seem like the heroine!

Members DRW50 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think Carol and Tom were married at this time, yes, and having baby problems. Irna Phillips also said she wanted them to start their own farm, which I guess didn't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 1958 Summary By early 1958, Penny and Jeff will have eloped; however, the two get an annulment at Nancy's insistence. Jeff is having problems with Al James, who sees Penny as a "tramp" and Jeff as a spoiled rich boy. The two have a violent scuffle, which results in Al's death. Chris defends Jeff with the help of a new young lawyer named Tom Pope. Al's death is ruled an accident and Jeff is cleared, but there is a strain in his relationship with Penny for a time. So Jeff joins the army and Penny starts dating Tom Pope. Jeff has a temporary leave from the Army around August and sees Penny during that time. Ellen Lowell has her own problems. Her mother, Claire, has just married Dr. Doug Cassen and Ellen has a hard time warming up to him. Judge Lowell also disapproves of Claire marrying Doug so soon after Jim's death. But a new man soon comes into Ellen's life: Dr. Tim Cole, a research colleague of Dr. Doug Cassen. The two have a passionate affair, but Tim is keeping something from Ellen: he is already married to someone else. Ellen soon finds herself pregnant. Since she doesn't want anyone in Oakdale to know she's going to have a baby out of wedlock, Ellen leaves for Columbus, where she stays with Dr. Joe Meadows and his wife. It is there that Ellen gives birth to a baby boy she names James, after her late father. Edith Hughes, who was devastated by Jim's death, also finds love again via Dr. George Frye. Donald begins his law career by apprenticing under lawyer Mitchell Dru. But Don quickly tries the patience of all would advise him on how to conduct himself as a lawyer. He argues with a judge at his first trial. Then, while working in the District Attorney's office, he takes so many liberties with cases that he is nearly disbarred. Chris is able to discredit the witness and thus saves Don's job. Bob Hughes, now 16, has worried Chris and Nancy by spending time with local troublemaker Larry Winters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 Cut to 2012, and the revelation that Bob and Larry were, in fact, lovers. I'm kidding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I don't know, but is it wrong that I'd totally love that story to happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 If Harding Lemay had taken over at ATWT instead of AW, I think that actually would have happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
