Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 Today is the 55th anniversary of my all time favorite show As the World Turns! I miss it but I am glad for the memories here and on You Tube. Did any one see the article in CBS~SID featuring Kelly Hensley and Chris Goutman on the show winning the WGA award. Made me sick! Goutman is so full of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is that the same interview where he claimed he had material for Lisa in the finale but wasn't even able to put it on deleted scenes? I don't buy any of that. The deleted scenes the show put up all involved younger characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yes. He was asked about Noelle Beck offering to step aside so that Martha Byrne could come back and give the Holden and Lily fans their happy ending. Apparently that was true and he wouldn't do it. I am a Martha fan who never cared for Noelle's portrayal of Lily but that makes me feel better toward her! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Did he say why he wouldn't do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Because he is an ass hole!! Sigh...to think it could still be on the air. With Chris Goutman running the show...ATWT didnt stand a chance of making it. Edited April 3, 2011 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd like to know why, when they did put scenes that were cut from the finale on-line. The three I remember were Holden/Lily, Parker/Faith, them with Carjack, and one with Craig and Rosanna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) That's Chris Durham. He was one of the Matt McCandlesses on Capitol, and he was the first Silas Whitman (the smarmy congressman Molly was having an affair with) that sabotaged her car when Jack showed up in NY after he took off after Brad's death. I don't remember any significant story when he played Glenn's brother. And thanks for posting that interview with Ben. Sigh...that cover was the first time I was really aware of soap mags. I was amazed to see Hal and Barbara on the cover. Little did I know ATWT barely got any soap coverage.

Members DRW50 Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd like to know about why Lisa/Bob/Kim weren't in any cut scenes either. That's why I don't buy it. How sad if Goutman felt that Craig learning "forgiveness" from Lily, or Parker/Faith as the new Carly/Jack (why do they have to be the new anyone? How stupid), were more important than the legends. Thank you for info on the actor who played Glenn's brother. I remember reading that John Conboy bragged he would have Durham shirtless for an entire summer. Making my way through the 1989 episodes, he seemed to be around for at least 3-4 months. He got involved with Shannon after his brother's death, and then through her discovery that she was pregnant with Glenn's child. Other than some lovely melancholic performances from Margaret Reed (I think this was her best talent - it's too bad the show only made her angry and bitter when she returned), this seems like kind of a pointless story, as Duncan/Shannon had already been separated for so long by this point that you start to wonder why they would ever get back together at all. This was also when they were making Duncan's castle into the Earl Mitchell Center. You said you were a Kirk/Iva fan, right? I still wonder sometimes why the show gave up on that, although I did like Kirk/Ellie. There's this heartbreaking little moment at the latter's wedding where Iva flashes back to dancing with Kirk. I miss that type of thing on soaps, that poignancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I forget how hot Bill Shanks was...this picture sure proves it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 He was very hot (and look, they didn't assume viewers were terrified of chest hair), even if the pose is a bit odd. I have one of Dusty too, I think. I wonder if they only did these with Holden/Dusty/Casey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I flove the pose...lol Hmmm...Jon, Brian and Bill..all with chest hair on one soap....I personally love chest hair on a man. Rex Smith also had chest hair...I forget who else did too... As for Kirk and Iva....I thought they were so good together. I hated Kirk with Ellie and Samantha...talk about boring couples. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
