Honestly, that is very considerate of you. I appreciate it.

Seems like there has been a trickle of former soap stars starting their own YouTube channels. I think Scott may have one, although I haven’t seen it lately and he may not upload often. If only more would do as Patricia Bruder Debrovner has done and post a few complete episodes, maybe we could piece together a few of these missing episodes from the show’s heights.

Nice to see some reaction from Barbara. I don't think I've ever seen them in a scene together. 

I can't help thinking of the alleged reasons for why Munker left (she wanted to get away from the Zenk and Jacqueline Schultz feud).

I don't know if Munker has made any comments on these videos - she commented quite a bit on the AW videos. That may tell us how she feels about her ATWT time.

Annie and Brad, grieving through plaid. 

The AI-shaped (?) closing credits lifted from 1978 are interesting.

Oh, thank goodness.  The sequence was grisly enough without having to watch them drag her lifeless body out of the water.

I think the fact that they taped it on location makes her death seem more real.  If they had taped the whole thing in the studio, it might've looked laughable, with viewers insisting Melinda didn't really die.

Of course, I understand Brad's grief in this situation, but I think Peter Brouwer was way overdoing it, lol.

Wow!

Love the closing credits!

You're welcome. I was a big fan of both too. 

I know Allison Rice Taylor has a YouTube channel but she hasn't posted anything new in a while. Allison said she had classic 90's episodes of ATWT that she wanted to upload.

    • Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family.  Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable.  I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots.  That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs."  To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.  
    • I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong. Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run. 
    • Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
    • She most definitely would. And I would enjoy watching it! Yes, I agree, that was a very touching moment in her interview. It helped me feel much more connected to her as a performer. I also got the feeling from her, Live with DD, that she wanted to go deeper in conversation.   
    • It really does feel like JG is getting off on torturing Shick fans.
    • That part I am not sure about, maybe Depboy might know?  The thing to remember about the show at that time was, it was so plot-driven and desperate that characters and their motivations changed virtually overnight.  There was a period of time where Diana Taylor suddenly became a bad guy and was in cahoots with Cameron Faulkner (toward the end of Valerie Starret's portrayal), which I HATED.
    • I'm going by clips so it's possible that the fan who did the editing made it look a different way than it was. 
    • I’m sure Trisha-Mann Grant would love to play those layers too.  It stuck me when she said in an interview that she could identify with the pain Leslie carried because she was a single mother of two struggling with no help raising her kids at one point. You can tell playing Leslie means a lot to her, as devious as the character is (which I’m sure is fun to play for any actor)!
