Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Makes me think there is a lot of undiscovered stuff out there. ATWT,Secret Storm,AW and several others was shown in Australia in the 70's so those tapes might still exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 That's true. It looks like this is around the time Paul died and Dan was critically ill. It's interesting to actually get to see this. I wonder how viewers felt at the time. It must have been like a slap in the face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 This would be late Nov/early Dec 72. Dan was shot by the distraught brother of a woman who died in surgery performed by Dan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks. I wonder if this Dr. Sawyer was an important character or not. And if the nurse was anyone important. Was this when the show was live, or was it live on tape by this time? I just realized this is the first time I've ever actually watched anything with Dan Stewart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 No this was live. ATWT didn't go live to tape until 75. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks. I'd kind of wondered because of the Paul flashback scene. I have never been sure how they did flashbacks in live episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone know who this man is with Ellen and Judge Lowell? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 I think that is Ronnie Talbot,Liz's brother= hence the faux British accent. The actor is Peter Stuart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks. I wonder how long he was around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Re flashbacks. i always wondered about that ie flashbacks when shows were live. Did they know ahead of time what scenes they would want to use and put them on tape ?(seems unlikely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 Last part. It's tough seeing Dan's mental breakdown. I wonder what his story was right after this. Did he just leave town? I know Colenback was fired and didn't return until Irna was gone. I wonder who played the doctor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 These clips are amazing! This is shortly after I first started watching the show. Of course, I was in junior high so only could watch it during school breaks. John Colenback was my favorite Dan Stewart. This is my favorite style of soap, with realistic character interaction and conversations. I wonder if most of today's audience would appreciate this type of storytelling because since the 80s people have come to expect action-type stories, with actors looks being more valued than their acting ability? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 21, 2011 Members Share Posted May 21, 2011 I think there's still an audience for this, but everyone assumes there isn't, because the steady diet of "snarkiness", cynicism, and action is what is assumed to be the ideal. This is the type of thing that would probably work well on a websoap format or on some sort of niche cable channel (like IFC) and then move up over time. I thought John was pretty good in this episode, especially the breakdown scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
