Today is the 55th anniversary of my all time favorite show As the World Turns!

I miss it but I am glad for the memories here and on You Tube.

Did any one see the article in CBS~SID featuring Kelly Hensley and Chris Goutman on the show winning the WGA award.

Made me sick! Goutman is so full of it!

Is that the same interview where he claimed he had material for Lisa in the finale but wasn't even able to put it on deleted scenes?

I don't buy any of that. The deleted scenes the show put up all involved younger characters.

Yes.

He was asked about Noelle Beck offering to step aside so that Martha Byrne could come back and give the Holden and Lily fans their happy ending.

Apparently that was true and he wouldn't do it.

I am a Martha fan who never cared for Noelle's portrayal of Lily but that makes me feel better toward her!

Because he is an ass hole!!

Sigh...to think it could still be on the air. With Chris Goutman running the show...ATWT didnt stand a chance of making it.

That's Chris Durham. He was one of the Matt McCandlesses on Capitol, and he was the first Silas Whitman (the smarmy congressman Molly was having an affair with) that sabotaged her car when Jack showed up in NY after he took off after Brad's death.

I don't remember any significant story when he played Glenn's brother.

And thanks for posting that interview with Ben. Sigh...that cover was the first time I was really aware of soap mags. I was amazed to see Hal and Barbara on the cover. Little did I know ATWT barely got any soap coverage.

I'd like to know about why Lisa/Bob/Kim weren't in any cut scenes either. That's why I don't buy it. How sad if Goutman felt that Craig learning "forgiveness" from Lily, or Parker/Faith as the new Carly/Jack (why do they have to be the new anyone? How stupid), were more important than the legends.

Thank you for info on the actor who played Glenn's brother. I remember reading that John Conboy bragged he would have Durham shirtless for an entire summer.

Making my way through the 1989 episodes, he seemed to be around for at least 3-4 months. He got involved with Shannon after his brother's death, and then through her discovery that she was pregnant with Glenn's child. Other than some lovely melancholic performances from Margaret Reed (I think this was her best talent - it's too bad the show only made her angry and bitter when she returned), this seems like kind of a pointless story, as Duncan/Shannon had already been separated for so long by this point that you start to wonder why they would ever get back together at all. This was also when they were making Duncan's castle into the Earl Mitchell Center.

You said you were a Kirk/Iva fan, right? I still wonder sometimes why the show gave up on that, although I did like Kirk/Ellie. There's this heartbreaking little moment at the latter's wedding where Iva flashes back to dancing with Kirk. I miss that type of thing on soaps, that poignancy.

I flove the pose...lol

Hmmm...Jon, Brian and Bill..all with chest hair on one soap....I personally love chest hair on a man. Rex Smith also had chest hair...I forget who else did too...

As for Kirk and Iva....I thought they were so good together. I hated Kirk with Ellie and Samantha...talk about boring couples.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
