Members Franko Posted 23 hours ago Members Share Posted 23 hours ago Man, if that doesn't encapsulate what soaps mean to us, I don't know what would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted 22 hours ago Members Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) I'd very much like to see that speech. Couldn't find it at a cursory search of 2001. And it goes back to where I felt GH and other shows terribly dropped the ball not addressing real life during the active phase of the pandemic. That is part of the social contract that daytime in particular has with its audience. Agnes Nixon would've done it. (And Emmerdale in the UK did it very well) Edited 22 hours ago by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch64 Posted 21 hours ago Members Share Posted 21 hours ago It was a taped presentation after an episode, where Hastings (out of character, but come on, he's Dr. Bob) talked about them being filmed in New York area, praised the first responders, and said the cast, crew and PG were there for New York, and just gave a very calming presentation that...this too shall pass. I remember it was on a day that the PG soaps had prominent American flags displayed and I don't know if JVD had a speech on GL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted 21 hours ago Members Share Posted 21 hours ago IIRC he did, I've seen that one. I just don't know the date for ATWT. Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch64 Posted 21 hours ago Members Share Posted 21 hours ago Your welcome..I remember being home and seeing it in real time. If only Ellen Parker was till on GL....a message from Maureen from the Bauer kitchen would have been very calming...(Reva just doesn't cut it when it comes to things like that...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted 20 hours ago Members Share Posted 20 hours ago I suppose being all but shut down for weeks had an impact, but I agree they missed a trick. The P&G soaps probably would have said something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted 2 hours ago Members Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I saw that the 1978 ATWT which was only ever on Archive is now on Youtube.via a reuploader. I thought it would be fair of me to post the original link (you can find it on Youtube under Aug 2 1978 if you can't get Archive to work). I had forgotten they also have a 1980 episode up - I don't remember if I ever watched it. It's later into 1980 as Peter Reckell is around.
