The Hughes house was originally lived in by Nick and Kim..and was remolded (acknowledged on air...the staircase and the entryway where even Kim mentioned, "So someone can come in and close the doors to have a private conversation" a foreshadowing of many eavesdropping to be done only to be outdone by the Snyder eavesdropping porch, which ruined many a paternity secret.

Yeah, I know that Bob was moving out of his place in with Kim. I even remember Nancy (in her usual low-key judgmental manner) commenting on how unusual she found the situation of the husband moving into the wife’s house.

That's interesting that the remodeling was acknowledged on air.  So often in the past 35 years on various soaps, set changes are just ignored.  I remember the house originally had that white tile stove in the living room, which was replaced by the large fireplace.  And the original staircase was much smaller and rather fake looking.  Does anyone remember if anything else was changed during the remodeling?

Thanks @DRW50  Always love me some classic ATWT.

@vetsoapfan I've been buying a lot of Pringles lately. They are so good!😂

I love BBQ chips. I usually pick up Ruffles, but I'm going to give Pringles a try!

Kim had an apartment in the 79 episodes when she was widowed.

I think the Kim/Bob house was a newer set. Where did she live when married to Nick?

And where was Bob living? After Jen's death I think he moved back in with Chris & Nancy so Nancy could look after Frannie.

But the Hughes house was dropped and Bob married Miranda. Maybe she & Bob lived in that house and Kim moved in?

Someone will know @vetsoapfan ?

I don't recall for sure, alas.

I have a vague memory of Bob and Lisa having a serious talk maybe the day before he and Kim married.  Bob and Lisa were sitting at a kitchen table, and the set looked like Nancy's kitchen.  I wasn't a daily viewer at that time and had just tuned in to see parts of the wedding.  So is it possible Bob and Frannie were living in Nancy and Chris's old house until he married Kim and moved into her house?  And if Bob and Lisa were not sitting in Nancy's kitchen, who's kitchen was it?  Does anyone remember this scene?  

I seem to recall in the 1979 episodes when Kim was showing Barbara her apartment, Barbara remarked that it was different from Bob's. Kim said that no 2 apartments were exactly alike in the complex. There was also a scene where Bob was with his then fiancé Dana and Bob said " Hello Neighbor" and I think they gave her a house warming gift.

Have you seen Eileen's Locher Room interview from a couple of years ago?  She looked and sounded wonderful.

I wanted to say that Bob and Frannie had been living in his parents' old house at the time, but my memory is hazy on this point. It's weird; I can remember all sorts of trivia in minute detail, while other facts are but elusive shadows in te back of my memory.

It's so egregious that ATWT began to marginalize Fulton around the time of Sheffer's reign of terror, and then kept her on the outskirts of the backburner forever more. She deserved better.

There was so much about Chris Goutman's decisions that totally frustrated me but in fact his simply not using "Lisa" AT ALL for those last several years was infuriating.

No, that was Bob's kitchen in his own house. He had the same house set from when Chris and Nancy were still on..for when Nancy came back for the wedding...(do not ask me why I remember these things..) They had a great scene were Bob and Frannie and Nancy are in the kitchen and Don and Penny come in for the wedding, it was like the new PTB were saying "The Hughes are BACK!" (and oddly enough this was when GL was obscuring the Bauers.) 

The show never really wrote Nancy and Chris out...after Wagner left people would mention her like she was in town, then when DM was taken off of contact and eventually disappeared they mentioned her once or twice (Frannie wanting to go live with them in Arizona) and then they fly in for Tom and Margo's wedding, so who the hell know what happened to their house, but it would have been cool to have Bob and Kim move into it after their wedding.

Especially as she would be so easy to use...she knew everyone, was a buttinsky of the highest order and they could have used her like Marland did, even without a storyline to link all the storylines...(during Marland's time Lisa spent her entire day driving back and forth to Bob and Kim's to Tom and Margo's to the Mona Lisa, to Fashions, to the hospital to insult John, back to the Mona Lisa to annoy Lucinda, back to what ever bad girl was trying to cover up her babies paternity..) along the way she gossiped and updated all the characters (and us) on what was going on and why.

This is a delightful, also accurate description at how EF could so easily be used, with or without a story she was actually involved in!!!!

I was thinking, if I recall correctly, she was originally from the Carolinas & a local preacher's daughter. My parents live there & my mother had such a fondness for her & followed stories about her & her family in the local newspaper. That was when the soaps were a half hour long & she could watch ATWT and AW and DAYS. The first time I ever saw my mother cry was when Neal died. I think it was Neal. Owned a bookstore? She cried for 3 days.

A few moments from an episode near the end of 1977. Nothing standout here, other than a reminder of just how long Kim had that haircut, but still, it's nice to be reminded some stuff is still out there (apparently most of the episode was taped over - drat). And it's always nice to see Carol, and a brief glimpse of Michael Nader rocking a '70s ugly shirt that looks like someone painted a building onto it.

 

 

Thanks! It's amazing what surfaces. Storywise, this is a little before my time, but Kim is always a treat!

And Doris Roberts commerical---LOL.

I'm confident you are correct.  But OMG, that kitchen set is laid-out almost exactly like Nancy's original kitchen.    Why in the world is it so similar?   That had to be confusing for the audience.

Now that's the kind of soap opera I love.  No evil twins, no back-from-the-dead tripe or supervillains out to control the world through weather machines.  Just family members reuniting for a big occasion, catching each other up on everything and having normal, everyday conversations about things that we all can relate to.  Sigh.  I miss that so much.
