Triplicate.

Remember when we could get an original & 3 or 4 copies with "no carbon required" paper sets? Slipping that thick thing into the IBM Selectric II & praying you did not make a typo because it was such a pain to correct on the copies. ... Well, that hurt my brain  this early in the morning.

I've been rewatching my James Stenbeck story DVD set and it's crazy to see how important Dee and Annie Stewart were and they just seemed to disappear. Emily and later Alison and Katie were our new Stewart girls, but I do think the show would've benefitted from trying to bring one of those characters back in the 90s.

With Annie part of the problem was that she had 3 marriages under her belt in less than 10 years (Beau, Brad and Jeff) and they also saddled her with quadruplets so there wasn't much left for her.

Dee was a different story. She had been married to John only and her return had many possibilities. She could have gotten involved with John again, and there were several other guys on the canvas that were romantic options.

The problem with having so many missing episodes is that it results in disjointed storytelling, really unfair to those who are seeing these stories for the first time.

Someone who was far more attentive to the show during that time period can probably speak to Emily and Royce’s relationship but Emily liked Craig years before she and Royce met. She was concerned that he was still in love with his wife Sierra, who had gone missing and was presumed dead (surprise, in true soap opera fashion, she was still alive). Craig dumped her anyway, once he discovered that she had had an affair with Craig’s old nemesis Tonio Reyes, who had once briefly taken over Craig’s company through deception.

Okay, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but ultimately what happened was one of Royce's alters came out when he was testifying in a trial. Wasn't that it? His DID storyline had this great blow-up reveal on the witness stand? Terry Lester was un-effing-believable! Is that clip not up on YT? I know I haven't seen it since original airing so my memory could be screwy. Can anyone confirm?

just heard priscilla lopez doing ‘what i did for love’ from ‘a chorus line,’ and remembered that she had been on ‘world turns. according to imdb, she played regina corrado for a few episodes in spring 2003, but i can’t find any information on that character. anybody know?

interestingly, lopez lost the best supporting actress in a musical tony to kelly bishop, who played grace andrews on ‘world turns in 1987.

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
