. And I didnt know Susan Dansby had directed an episode of ATWT.

From soapopera451...

In honor of this gift to daytime fans, we visit with Emmy-award winner Susan Dansby, who recalls directing Carly and Jack's first kiss:

I had been fired from my directing job on Port Charles; and, though I made many claims to the contrary, took a real hit to the ego.

My agent arranged for me to direct three episodes of As the World Turns – which was kind of inconvenient. I lived in LA and ATWT shot in New York. But I figured it was worth the airfare to prove to myself I still had serious directing chops – hopefully.

On one of those three days, I was lucky enough to direct Maura West and Michael Park having one of their first on-screen kisses (the ice cream scenes at the cabin in Montana).

During the dress rehearsal, Michael was playing Jack as "nice guy." So, when I went out to the studio floor to give notes, I suggested to him that Carly was throwing down a challenge; and rather than running from it (as Carly anticipated), Jack's G-man persona would come to the fore and give Carly (in the form of a toe-curling kiss) WAY more than she – or I – expected. I still remember that kiss. Have mercy!

I fell in love that day with Michael and Maura. With their skill as actors, and their willingness to play in the creative process.

That whole thing with Molly/Holden was the one where they hadn't had sex and she made Lily think they had? Or was this another time? I know one time Lily said she didn't believe it, and proved he had been drugged.

Yes. Molly taped her and Holden "doin' it", and eventually, Lily proved she'd edited footage together to make it look like Holden was actively participating. (I swear this involves Lily somehow pretending to want to buy Molly's "sex tape" or something and going "undercover" at a porn distributor, but I can't swear to it.)

I may have some. I can post them here, if that's OK. I'm not sure how many I have, someone else may have more. I guess that would be, what, late January-late March SOD issues?

That sounds great. I'm looking for something that seems like it could have aired at any time and I need to narrow it down to a specific week at least. Thank you!

You are absolutely correct about the porn distributor! I loved that sequence. What was great was that Lily knew it was a fake and she used her "history" with WOAK. Something like "I own a TV station, so I know editing." I was so glad that they didn't make Lily totally stupid. It was a good choice to put an end to that farce.
