I think this was the major issue..I don't think Nancy would have married again. Some people just don't and are satisfied with their lives that are full without a partner. Not to mention that during Marland's time at least, the entire Hughes extended family (and I count Lisa, Barbara and Betsy and Andy in that) were constantly in and out and always needed a little check from the older generation.  Plus, though Marland changed her to a sweet granny, Irna's Nancy had a backbone of steel, and I can't imagine a woman like that putting up with an new man in her house and her life..(especially one with ear hair and reeked of old smoke.)

If they did go that route it would've been interesting to see a little friction then this sweet old couple who looked like they have been together for years. I think a guy would have an issue with the extended family (and really the whole town) affecting their day..

Dan: "Where are you going."

Nancy: "Something about Barbara and kidnapping"

Dan: "She's been kidnapped AGAIN!"

Nancy: "No this time she is the kidnapper...really Dan..keep up, dear!"

Hey,

i have german episodes of "As The World Turns" from. They start with March 28th, 1990 and end in November 1990.

I will at least upload 3 episodes per day and include many episodes, that aren't on YouTube. Maybe some of you are interested anyway.

The stories include: Susans addiction to pills, Andy's alcoholism, Bobs one night stand with Susan, Gail Kinkaids trial against Sean Baxter, Julies lies about Linc and Tonio, Caseys death and Margo's trial.

You can follow my new Channel that i made for uploading the episodes

The only thing I wish is those clips to be in better visual quality. The verbal combat between Barbara and Margo built to a crescendo so expertly in any given scene. I liked how they often drew on their history, going back to Margo’s affair with James as subtext for the tension between the two. During this particular period of time, ATWT was really good at writing compelling verbal jousting between rival characters.

Someone needs to make a compilation for Lisa and Lucinda. The scene at Diana’s that ends with Lisa blithely declaring “Oh, how I despise her” is one of my favorite scenes between them.

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
