I need to pick back up with 80s ATWT too as I slacked once 90s episodes of GL started to get uploaded. I stopped watching vintage ATWT around '88. I seriously need to pick back up.

I'm actually having a ball watching old soap storylines that I've heard about and never seen. Early 90s Guiding Light, anything from Loving, various time periods of Another World. I need to hit up ATWT though I have seen a lot of the 80s and 90s from a friend's tapes. There are so many famous storylines that are still talked about for a good reason, they are super fun and engaging. Nothing I've seen on a soap in the last 10 years has remotely come close to those vintage stories!

 

I have often thought that we here at SON should open a special section devoted to links to vintage soaps, wherever they may be on the internet (youtube, vimeo, etc).

 

For example, we could have a folder for ATWT, and put all the 1950s eps in one thread, all the 1960s eps in another, etc. If we could organize them by air-dates too, that would make viewing past material a lot easier. Of course, this would take a long time and a lot of work top compile.

Colleen Zenk interview 

 

@cassadine1991  Thanks so much for that interview with Colleen! I loved hearing all about what everyone has been up to since the show ended. I'm not through the whole thing yet but I definitely want to see the entire interview. I ran into Colleen at an audition last year and, luckily, her audition was long before mine (I was super early) so I waited until after she was done and leaving and then said something to her. She was the most generous and gracious ATWT actor I've spoken to - we talked for 15 min or so. I try to go see her in everything she does here in the city. Just adore her (and Babs!) And I'm so happy to think about Barbara and Henry still running around Oakdale, dancing up a storm!

I'm assuming due to Maura. Rosanna didn't really become remotely interesting till Carly arrived. 

 

 

I liked Rosanna when Cady McClain played her.

Cady did her best work in daytime during her first stint as Rosanna.

She truly did. 

 

Sadly, her second stint was crap thanks to the writing. They basically exchanged Emily for Rosanna for in being the opposition for Meg/Paul. That sh-t annoyed me.

There was a regime change in late '96, and tons of turnover. It probably didn't help that Maura left, but Shawn Christian also left in early '97.

 

I mean, right off the top of my head, SC left, they dumped his sister Sarah, Paul Ryan, & her friend Zoe. They fired ART, killed off Diego Santana (and his sister shortly disappeared played by Roslyn Sanchez) and were preparing to fire Tom Wiggin and pin Diego's murder on Kirk. Rosanna and Scott Eldredge left. I'm not exactly sure, but this might have also been when Jason Biggs was fired, and Caleb and Julie left town too. It was a bloodbath.
