Scrubbing comments that are not offensive, merely asking probing questions, seems an awful like censorship, but hey, maybe he's content with getting an annual click rate of less than the average cat video.

It's his channel and it is his right to assert his own rules. I only wish that he wouldn't designate himself as some sort of classic soaps ambassador because at this point, his fawning coverage to the former higher ups, while practically cutting off the actors and some of the writers when they offer less than rose-colored statements, is exacerbating the worst impulses of the soap media. Being uncritical of a genre that we all love, yet acknowledge has always had problems, even in its heydays does a disservice to us all.

He'd promptly ignore it as I'm sure he couldn't care less , but thanks for the compliment.

To be honest, I'm not as interested in his YouTube channel as I would be in an archive of ATWT and GL episodes, similar to what has been done with the B&B and Y&R vault that was created. I'm pretty sure that vault is what led to the eventual upload of episodes of B&B "From The Beginning" on their YouTube channel.

Your comments are still up on Facebook, and they are getting a bunch of traction. I only realize they are yours because of the same avatar on here and FB. I don't want to get into a back and forth on FB with Goutman defenders, so thanks for saying what you did. You definitely got a thumbs up from me.

Early in the pandemic, the reunions Mr. Locher hosted were a breath of fresh air, and they were greatly appreciated. I didn't watch them all live, but I think I caught up on all the ones connected to ATWT. This one...no thanks. I get it -- it's his platform, his career, and he can do what he wants. However, he definitely won't be getting any clicks from me when it comes to Goutman.

Gotta support Dominic Thiem anywhere I can.

Thus his avatar everywhere.

Yes, the Facebook post is still up. I'm sure he would've deleted it had not people replied to it.  I'm sure the ATWT actors that are friends with Alan on Facebook have read it. I just wanted to show my displeasure for this man. He truly didn't give two sh!ts about ATWT. I'll never forget the crappy ending he gave us.

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
