Both Helen and Don seemed to age in that gap, moreso Don.

I thought Don aged VERY rapidly just from the few years between when he was making guest appearances in the early 80s to when he returned a few years later as a regular

Ginny's whole style is very silly to me for some reason - she seems like she is more suited as a side character on a British kids show. That and the disco set are the antithesis of ATWT. I'm reminded of how the short-lived Australian soap Arcade had a last gasp effort at staying on by introducing a nightclub

Well that and the disco crowd was going hot and heavy like a coke fueled night at 4 a.m. at Studio 54, while across town at Nancy and Chris its early evening and dinner time. I do love that they tried to "be hip" and still keep Nancy and Chris.

Someone should write a story about Nancy and Chris somehow ending up in the disco. Nancy would be aghast. Chris might enjoy himself.

Wagner said he started to fail as soon as they put him on recurring, and then silently just fired him. I mean really Bunim, how much could he have cost to just keep the patriarch on?

"Chris, what IS that thumping sound coming from across town? Now it seems to me that is against the Oakdale Noise Ordinance, which as you recall, was put into effect when our Lisa was ...uh, entertaining her MANY gentleman callers after 10 p.m.?"

I can hear it now.

They should have done a story where Nancy ran for city council or the PTA board. She would have run them with an iron fist.

Throwing in a disco seemed to be the go to solution several soaps attempted to be more hip.

And they always came off as super clunky as extras gyrated to music that was added later.
