Definitely a weak ad, but I loved the story and my unpopular opinion will always be that Craig and Lucinda had heat and passion (that I found and still find lacking with him and Sierra) and that they should have had long term affair through the years. And not just such a one-sided obsession as was written for Lucinda toward Craig.

Thanks for answering.

I just remember that my mother was really into this. I barely remember everything coz I was like 6/7. I do remember a sub story during that year in which Lisa was with a men that was after her money. I loved Lisa.

I just remember that Mark was gone someday and that my mother was mad that there was a different Connor. It seemed like they were on air every freaking day. ( a bit exaggerated)

I’m someone that gives every character a chance and try’s to accept them or at least tolerate them. But Mark and Connors dialogue was dreadful. Normally I have nothing against romantic dialogue. I don’t know if it was the actors delievery of the lines but it was just cringe and corny. I tried to give them another chance but nah. They are not my cup of tea

Been re-watching the 1990 episodes…

I underestimated Heather Rattray.  Originally I think I dismissed her because she wasn’t Martha Byrne and she is just so pretty…but I find her really appealing and I'm enjoying the new directions she takes Lily in.  She definitely holds her own against the ATWT heavyweights and brings new dimensions to the spoiled little rich girl…more assured and less the victim as Martha Byrne portrayed her.  She was a much-needed reset for the character.

I'm going to put this here (bad news - please don't shoot the messenger) because I'm--obviously from my avatar--a huge ATWT fan. But I was a fan of many the P&G soaps. I figure from here it can spread around the board.

I just got off a Zoom call with Trent Dawson and Colleen Zenk - I donated to Trent's theater company to get the call - and Colleen gave me the most disheartening, gut-wrenching news. P&G wiped EVERYTHING. Once Roger Newcomb, who had been hired to digitize and get all of those DVDs out in...what? 2012? 2013?...anyway, once that went south and P&G took the rights back, they destroyed every tape/digital copy of all of their programming. They wanted nothing to do with those soap operas ever again.

So unfortunately--but at least now fans can stop wondering why--they will never see the light of day. They're gone. Colleen and I both talked about what an absolute loss and waste that is for television history. I'm still sitting here mindblown. So what we've got on YouTube is all we've got and will ever have. Cherish it!

I want to get more word on that, but even if it is true, sadly I had accepted a long time ago we were never seeing any of that anyway. The only thing to hope for is that eventually some type of ardent support system can exist to find old soap material along the lines of those that exist to find other old TV content, and try to find every last scrap of stuff floating around that we  can.

    • Hahaha!!! Not Naomi being sure Chelesa ain't filming this time!!!   At last! Kat is proven right!!!   And hey, Nicole's Doctor friend, hey!!!   So far...this is giving.
    • Leslie having the nerve to show up at the Dupree House was pure insanity. Bill being revealed to be more ruthless than anyone would have thought was a good development. I have to imagine that will change Dani's view of wanting him back. The whole reveal was well done and Trisha Mann-Grant owned those scenes. That was most definitely material for an Emmy submission reel.
    • I agree, all the Guys Tux were nice. I like how they differ from each other and all stylish in a way. Awe, same. Can not believe I actually have enjoying a current daytime soap. Rewatching these episodes over the weekend as a jump back into Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara. Agreed! Exciting times.

       And it was pretty dope we didn't know that tidbit before the reveal.  
    • yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.
    • Well, good that they showed Vanessa though I wish she was there.   Lol. And here comes Naomi. AND an explanation from Jacob.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory
    • Yay!!!!!! And made it ON TIME, TOO!!!   And this is giving DAYS reveals circa late 90s already.
    • Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.
    • It should be in its synopsis on the DVR description of the show.
