Point taken@Nothin'ButAttitude :)

 

I came across a couple episodes from 1983, the first one (where Craig is acting like American Psycho) is only part of an episode though.

I didn't recall too much of Frank and Maggie. I had even forgotten that Maggie was Lyla's sister. Both appeared heavily on several episodes on the ATWT DVDs and were so boring to watch. I am glad Marland wrote both of them out.

yeah, uhm, just no to the idea of Lucinda and Lisa fighting over John. Besides the fact it would have given Fulton every opportunity to overact more than she did the last ten years, both relationships were already way past their expiration dates. As much as I admire Bryggman, I really don't know what they could have done with him those last five years. He wasn't going to be happy with being trotted out two or three times a month in the role of "wise(ish) grandpa". (I guess I can't say if Don Hastings was happy with that kind of role either, but he stepped into it gracefully.)

And I thought the story was that Marland consulted for ATWT before taking over HW duties in 1985?

I was diplomatically trying to honor her status in the soap legend pantheon. I don't know at what point she started overacting. It would be interesting to sample her work and see at what point she just let go.

I guess I was trying to also get clarification---was Marland hired in Sept 85, or was that when his work started airing? If it started airing in Sept, my guess is he could have impacted whether or not Frank and Maggie stayed or went. He would have surely had a plan in place and probably been writing/outlining for a couple of months before that.

I think Fulton did really well in the lawsuit storyline..and back in the day when she came back to the show preMarland  and she was the McColl matriarch. But she was TERRIBLE during the Dobsons's second go around and later years..i think when she was bored or felt that the material wasnt good she chewed the scenery to get attention...when she felt comfortable she was okay.

I loved LIsa but yea, Fulton's stuttering and jitterness could be annoying. Funny thing is, she always did well with Wagner, it seems Wagner was to Fulton like Nancy was to Lisa....My favorite line of the last five years..."Your NOT helping things DEAR!"

That person who uploaded the late 90s episodes and early 00s episodes is my personal HERO. It's basically every episode and I'm so addicted still.

 

Mid-August 2000 now and I am reminded how much I loved Julia Lindsey. I don't even know why but I think it's the actress. Julia's descend into madness was ultimately interesting to watch but in hindsight very sad knowing how it all ended up.

 

I can't believe Simon and Lily have been stranded on the island for two whole months. I knew storytelling back then was slow but they were really milking this Lily/Rose thing for all its worth (and why wouldn't they to be honest).

    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
