Does anyone know the addresses of the places in Oakdale, I always wanted to know.

 

Also when in 1991 did Seth return to ATWT?

 

And I keep reading that Andrew Kavovit left in 1991, but didn't he return in 1992 for Andy's wedding?

 

Does anyone know the exact dates of Irna's last stint as HW and both of Marland's stints?

Exact dates are hard to come by but Irna left the first time around January 1970 and returned January 72.She was writing up till a writers strike in mid 73 and did not return.

I didn't know there was a writers strike in 1973

Interesting how ATWT ratings dropped when she left and never returned to the numbers under Irna although it still remained the #1 soap.

This episode with Sierra in bed with Tonio and fantasizing about Craig!   And Craig and Lucinda's fight.  This all makes today's daytime look amateurish.

Thinking of Irna's departure in 1970, I wonder how that all went down? Did she give a lot of notice or was her departure one of those mercurial Irna moves?

Did any of the mags mention it at the time?

She had been at ATWT 13 years and I wonder if she was getting a little frustrated with the constraints of writing those particular characters?

She had tried with Another World to oversee a new show,but never seemed to get a handle on it.

Now she and her daughter were working on 'A World Apart' and she probably had free reign to write for a fresh set of characters. Her stint there also proved to be short lived.

Anyway,ATWT went with Joel Kane as her replacement.He had some primetime experience but had never worked in daytime. I imagine CBS and P&G were very protective of their #1 rating show that was a huge moneyspinner. Was Joel Kane expected to reproduce Irna's style? I'm not sure how long he lasted but at some point Winifred Wolfe took over before Irna returned.

Hope other posters have some insights about this time in ATWT history.

I've been watching the few episodes of '84 posted on YT and I've always wondered was Heather the same age as Frannie or Betsy?

Kane couldn't have lasted very long as he was credited writing The Doctors along with Robert and Eileen Mason Pollock in November 1970.

This episode is pure WIN especially the ending!

I was going through my local library's online database and saw a book on Meryl Streep, became curious (I love juicy biographies) and clicked on it but when I did, I noticed there were some suggested titles at the bottom of the page and among the suggested titles was Farley Granger's 2007 autobiography, with Robert Calhoun written in big letters and I wondered, has anyone here read that biography?

Here's the cover:

Looks like it would be an interesting read. How much is the book?

Oh, I saw on my library's website, so I don't know about the cost.  I don't even know whether I can make a trip to my library to check it out.  If I can check it out in the form of an ebook, that would be ideal for me right now since I'm practically attached to my laptop right now.

Allyson Rice last episode on ATWT….

The nightmare of Susan Batten as Connor Walsh on her first day…..

ESS first day as Dr. Reid Oliver

A disastrous recast summed up in one Youtube capture

Why was Allyson replaced? Just because FMB liked Susan Batten?

They were best friends. She needed a job and FMB hired her and fired Allyson. I remember the big backlash after Allyson Rice was fired. It didnt last long before Susan Batten was fired.
