I thought of you when I came across the pic and details pertaining to it.

I don't know if Tamara has a YouTube channel.

[DramatistDreamer]

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.

In New York on Aug. 25 Patricia Bruder (Ellen Lowell Cole Stewart of As The World Turns) will be doing a production of Love Letters at 11am The Society for Ethical Culture is at 2 West 64th Street, just off Central Park West. FREE. Come up to Ceremonial Hall on the 4th floor.

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.

Did they show Melinda's corpse?

I wonder why she didn't just swim away from the boat as she saw it approaching.

[DRW50]

All they showed was Brad finding her hair ribbon. The body was found offcamera.

I think she didn't because she was so drunk and it happened very quickly.

[Khan]

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.

[DRW50]

I agree - the usual cheap sets would have made me feel nothing. Having real locations gives more of a gut punch.

I didn't think he was bad in the scene where he woke up from his nightmare, but overall...yeah.

[Soapsuds]

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.

[Reverend Ruthledge]

Me too! And I didn't realize Gillian Spencer wrote for the show. 

[Soapsuds]

They have Colleen Zenk as Colleen Zen.

Does anyone know the air date for the last clip?

So wait? What was the premise of this beef? I've never heard this before. 

[Mona Kane Croft]

Were Nancy and Chris already being minimized by this time?  And the credits indicate there were other head-writers between Marland and the Dobsons.  Am I correct about that?
