As The World Turns Discussion Thread

[bboy875]

I don't know if I'm misremembering, but i think it was said that Josh might've had a nightmare about Reva in danger underwater, before she and Josh spent time together, Dylan and Harley's conversation might have ended light hearted, when she realized they weren't getting back together (she lured him to the Keys to get back together with him, but he brought Samantha with him, ultimately paving the way for her and Josh), and I think Roger and Holly were trapped together somewhere (possibly at the TV station). It's been over 30 yrs so I can't be sure. I don't remember the other scenes talked about in the ATWT submission

Thank you.

The ever confusing younger actor categories where 25 year olds duke it out with 5 year olds. 

Kathleen Widdoes did have some lead material that year with Ned Simon's death, but I'm surprised she got a lead nomination.

Anyone looking for information on actress Betty Low, the Temporary Nancy Hughes McCloskey, it can be lound in Soap Hoppers on page 442.

I don't know if this episode had been uploaded or not before, but the Pannoni channel did yesterday.

Thanks so much @Forever8 ! I looked on Youtube and don't see any other versions of this episode.

So many recurring/bit players in so many stories. Marland mostly managed to make it work but when they tried to keep on in 93/94 with this format they just couldn't.

If Marland had lived I do think, brain damage or not, he would have had Holden as a loving father to Aaron. The decision to have Holden ignore his son after taking him from Iva and even spending far more time with his girlfriend's son, was horrendously damaging to Holden as a character.

I never noticed how much Marcy looked like Lyla.

Just to clarify---Harley didn't lure Dylan down to the Keys. He went after Reva suffered some kind of medical issue due to the medication for her post-partum depression. Dylan was on parole, and couldn't go until Billy persuaded his parole officer to let him.

Reva (back to suffering PPD unnoticed) then arranged for Sam to come down as a surprise for Dylan.

I missed that. I had an after school job and only had SOD to help with some of the episodes I missed. I don't know how I thought what I thought. Thanks!

When Eileen Fulton's Lisa was spun off into Our Private World

Thanks.

I can't remember if there was ever an Our Private World thread here. 

I'm still amazed at how poorly they handled what should have been a success, although it would have made more sense as a daytime soap, not primetime.

[Paul Raven]

Yes there is an OPW thread.

In addition to other factors that contributed to the show's failure, there was also BTS management changes at CBS, so those in favor of OPW may have been ousted.

 

[P.J.]

No problem! SOD recaps always leave a lot to be desired. The early ones read like a cheap novel, and the later ones will ignore stories points deemed "unimportant". I only know this so well because it's also around the time Billy proposes to Vanessa. In fact, Dylan has taken Bill for the night so Billy can have some "alone time" with Van. Dylan and Bill don't exactly interrupt---but Billy and Van's night is cut a little short when they bring news of Reva's medical crisis.

fred silverman, (then head of cbs daytime) told me that president of cbs, james aubrey, was fond of irna (and according to silverman, the feeling was mutual) and green lit opw. 

in february 1965, aubrey was fired details here, replaced by john schneider and opw got lost in the shuffle.
