I thought I'd open since it's been a week. It still doesn't seem real.

Come on guys. BE REALISTIC. A couple thousand views doesn't mean success. Cancelled soaps will never bring $$ to the owners. They are dead. Gone. 

The majority of the B&B episodes get around 10,000 views each with some special episodes hitting over 100,000. When you consider the volume of episodes of people finding it over the years, there has to be a good stream of money coming in. All of those episodes are ad supported.

Don Hastings article from 1977.

In 1978 he would meet Leslie Dennison on set, and later divorce Nan, and marry her.

Nice article....I do love that actors, celeberties and stars are so happy to give interviews about the "love of their life," only to later find another one and do that same interview, over, and over ...so they kind of are like soap opera characters.

Sad the quote about Don McClaughlin and the "smiling furniture" which he was about to become under the Dobsons and then Bunim fired him...until they brought him back and he was too sick to be anything but...I hope those last years made him happy.

B&B is still on the air. I was referring to cancelled soaps. Even ABC passed on a reboot of AMC.

Join us as we pay tribute to the beloved Kathryn Hays live in The Locher Room on Thursday, November 17th at 3 p.m. EST / 12 p.m. PST. Kathryn joined the cast of As the World Turns as Kim Sullivan Reynolds Dixon Stewart Andropoulos Hughes in 1972 and remained with the show for 38 years until the world stopped turning in September of 2010. Her long-time co-stars and friends Larry Bryggman, Eileen Fulton and Don Hastings will help us celebrate the life of this beloved mom and actress. Joining Larry, Eileen & Don for this tribute are Kathryn’s real-life daughter Sherri Mancusi as well as her on-screen daughters Mary Ellen Stuart and Claire Beckman. Don’t miss this very special tribute to a very special lady we all loved and miss. See you on November 17th in The Locher Room.

 

Just watched this tribute.   Very well done and an honor to Kathryn Hays as Kim.   Alan usually gets a lot of criticism but did a great job.  Colleen made an appearance.  Wonder why Marie Masters wasn’t on

 

Favorite line from Don “There weren’t any powers that be for the last 10 years of the show “

I wish Don/Colleen/Marie etc would really spill the tea on what went on BTS over the years.

I'm sure they have some great stories to tell.

Don is probably too nice to do it but it would fascinating to here.

finally got to see the kathy hays remembrance. my favorite part was when eileen was taking about kathy giving her a place to stay when she split from her second husband and larry, thinking she was talking about lisa’s marriages said something about how many times lisa had been married.

i, too, would live to hear what marie masters has to say. i met her in the mid-90s, and found her more than receptive to both fans and the soap media. so i’m wonder why she hasn’t participated — concerned that she may not be able to. 

eta:

forgot to mention how surprised i was that when asked about memorable storylines, neither don nor larry mentioned one of my favorites — the bob-kim-susan affair that came about, in part, because of kim and john dealing with andy’s alcoholism. it was a storyline that i’ve never forgotten.

I Was wondering I never Saw Her, How Was The Original Rosanna Played by Yvonne Perry?

For long time fans this is a question I have had

When Barbara entered in 1978 played by Coleen Zenk she was engaged to Stephen I believe.  He broke off the wedding because of a deep dark secret.  This seems like an abrupt aborted storyline.   Does anyone know where this was headed and why it ended the way it did?

Barbara arrived in September and Ralph Ellis and Eugenie Hunt became headwriters in December so that is the most likely explanation of why Barbara's storyline was changed.

Thanks to a certain poster on here I can relive the Walsh takeover by Conner. Dreams do come true!!

 

 

ATWT went to color on Jan 20 1967, the first of the CBS serials to so so.

I wonder if this was also Eileen Fulton's return as the blonde, more glamorous Lisa? Would have been a nice tie-in.
