ATWT had a surprising amount of goodwill still associated with the show in it's last few years, evidenced by Julianne Moore and some of the actors making brief comebacks. I really think it was due to a lot of the veteran cast and perhaps the good feelings that they left their fellow actors with, even those who left.

I know that Frank Runyeon was suppsed to have some type of story arc but it didn't work out. Does anyone know the story with that? I wonder if they ever asked Lindsey Frost to make an appearance? It could've been a good way to tie up loose ends with that Steve storyline. Oh well.

Oh, no, you had to remind me P.J. (LOL).

Seriously, I kind of wish that we would get a surprise of an episode from the vault or something. A vintage episode, one that hasn't been posted on You Tube before. Or that PGP would grow a heart and toss out a few classic crumbs for us to watch.

If it sounds like I'm begging a little, it's because I am.sad.png

I also saw on twitter that April 1st was Don Hastings' 80th birthday. 80! He aged very well. I kind of forget what a hunk Bob was in his younger days.

I think I'll dig up that 40th anniversary montage. I floved that.

I still didn't see the episode where Craig and Sierra got it on at Foxwood Lodge. When I see that posted on You Tube, I'll consider myself spoiled.tongue.png

I saw that too. A lot of that group, Eileen Fulton, Kathryn Hays and Elizabeth Hubbard and Larry Bryggman are such a hearty and hale bunch. It's comforting to see people age well and as far as I know, none has had any major, disfiguring plastic surgery.

You know what? I would LOVE to see that too! In fact, they should do different episodes and post them online. Start with the most senior stars: Don Hastings, Eileen Fulton, Patricia Bruder, Kathryn Hays, Marie Masters, Larry Bryggman, Colleen Zenk, Elizabeth Hubbard etc. Maybe intercut with previously recorded brief interviews with past 'stars' of ATWT like Julianne Moore and Steven Weber and Meg Ryan (if they could get them) or Lyndsey Frost.

Perhaps they could even film an additional segment where they add an additional group: Scott Bryce, Hillary Bailey Smith, Gregg Marx, Martha Byrne, Margaret Reed, Kathryn Widdoes, Lisa Brown, Tamara Tunie, etc.

One big dinner party, sort of a 'fly in the room' type of film. Either at someone's house (if it is big) or a private dining room somewhere or even on the stage of a black box or theater in the round type of setting. Dressed up but not formal.

I know I'm dreaming but it would be a nice idea for the actors as well as the fans.

I'd never seen this and wasn't sure I'd ever see it. Toward the end of this episode, Iva reveals to Emma that she was raped by Josh, after she realizes Emma is going to have Josh come visit unless she says something. Emma then reveals that both Josh and Iva were adopted.

Lisa Brown plays the guilt and the shame in such a painstaking, honest way, almost underplaying it, that it just cuts away at your insides. This type of performance is why I always felt for Iva, even if, over time, I think it took a huge toll on Lisa and some of her vibrancy as an actress.

Kathleen Widdoes is also very good - again, subtle and quiet in her heartbreak.

I'm sorry that this was rushed and I'm angry that this ended with that disgusting pig Holden eavesdropping so that we could be all giddy that now he could bang Lily, but that's my only complaint. GIven the subject matter I'm somewhat surprised the scenes even made it to air at all.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
