Ah, sorry, I misread your original post.  I see what you were asking now.  Others may be more helpful but, as I just watched all that exists of 1985 (that I could find) last year, I"ll do my best.  October 16 is on the Lily and Holden DVD set and still has Marie in it. I don't think the episode where she dies exists on YouTube, IIRC. Doing a search for "ATWT 1985" will bring up the few videos that exist of that time. Several people have put them into playlists.  

 

I took a break from writing this and went to my ATWT 40th Anniversary Scrapbook - it states that Marie died on the evening of the Halloween party that year. I know 11-1-85 exists on YouTube so I'd check that out first.  Good luck!

Regarding Marisa Tomei: I remember at the time thinking how special she was as an actress, and that she would go far (I know it sounds like hindsight, but it's true). She was especially magnetic when things were going bad for her. (her relationship with her shrew mother, her rape accusations against Bob). She also fit well in the teen scene back then. Unlike a former poster, I did not care for her involvement with Stuart at all. First, I thought the actor was not very good, and second,it was too much of a fairy tale that didn't fit in with the Marcy Saga.

I really appreciate how steady a career Bryce has built over the decades. He had been in Homeland and The Good Fight recently.

Over the summer, I did a binge-watch of Sex And The City (I had never seen the last season and a half, so I decided to start from the beginning and go straight through) and I realized that he appeared on the very first episode.

It's good that he's gotten a steady stream of acting gigs, even if they're guest spots.

Hunt Block was the best Craig. His performance during Brynats death was unbelievable. Couldn’t stand Bryce return for the most part... not necessarily a comment on him. Mostly Goutman BS. though Jean and team wrote indiv great scenes with him and Liz Hubberd esp in the beg of his return

Wow!  I've never seen someone else on this board who loves HB as Craig!! IMO, he was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant even! He had chemistry with every woman they paired him with. He was sexy as hell. He's a great actor and he really took the role and ran with it. And yes, he (and the entire cast) knocked it out of the park with Bryant's death storyline.

 

Now that I've watched what exists of SB's Craig in his first run up to '87, I can understand that, if someone grew up with him, and was already particularly enamored with his portrayal of the role, they would have an issue with HB. It is rare that any of us like a replacement actor when we have become attached to a particular person playing a role. For instance, I'm so attached to ED as Margo that every other actress just seems to be "playing" Margo to me. However, I enjoy both SB and HB in the role of Craig. 

 

And I agree - Liz and Hunt could go at it with the best of them. I absolutely adored watching the two of them together and look forward to getting back to the time of the show. I should get there around 2024.  LOL

      I wasn't expecting this. Leslie was the first character I saw on GH when I started watching.

      Thanks @Paul Raven . I love that she even drew up a petition. A shame she didn't get to finish out that storyline, although it seemed to become a mess anyway.

      It's funny to think one of the only later mentions of Justin/Sarah was in The Guiding Plight. They had some decent chemistry in the 1976 episode put out on DVD.

      Very. They're building up his story again and picking the perfect time to do so. As the SilkPress storyline climaxes and go off in several great directions, they are building up that story to take a turn.

      Primetime ratings from the 70's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      @Soapsuds Thanks for posting Night by night Mon 8pm The Rookies edged Gunsmoke but attracted younger(more desirable) viewers.NBC failed with Born Free/Smothers Brothers (how many different series did those 2 get??) 9-11pm  Maude/Rhoda/Medical Center dominated on CBS,but Football and Movies were competitive on an occasional basis. ABC tried  SWAT/Caribe later in the season and the former worked for them. Tues 8-11 pm CBS all the way Good Times, MASH, Hawaii Five O,Barnaby Jones. NBC had the fading Adam 12,Movie and Police Story mmm...don't see that listed? ABC Happy Days, which ABC decided to keep despite lackluster ratings, the Movie of the Week and Marcus Welby-once pulling big numbers but no longer. 8pm NBC had a new hit with Little House, easily beating Sons and Daughters, which was axed and replaced with Tony Orlando, which did much better. ABC had That's My Mama and the Wed movie. 9pm Cannon was the lead here as Lucas Tanner failed to capitalize on the LHOTP leadin. ABC continued the movie. 10pm Manhunter started strong for CBS but petered out and was cancelled. Petrocelli manged to beat Get Christie Love, which was replaced by Baretta-no ratings winner but ABC decided to renew. Thurs Another CBS night with The Waltons and a movie. ABC counterprogrammed with Odd Couple/Paper Moon then Barney Miller/Karen NBC did even worse with Sierra and replaced it with Mac Davis which improved ratings quite a bit. However, it was moved to 9pm for Sunshine/Bob Crane 9pm Some good numbers for ABC with Streets of San Francisco fending off Ironside,Archer and Mac Davis. 10pm Harry O had a slim victory over Movin On Fri 8-11 NBCs best night Sanford/Chico/Rockford/Police Woman. 8pm CBS had high hopes for Planet of the Apes but it bombed. Replacement Khan did even worse. Paul Sand and We'll Get By were tossed in at the end of the season. With poor lead ins the Friday movie didn't deliver. ABC's odd line up saw Kodiak flop, Six Million dollar Man struggle and Texas Wheelers  quickly cancelled. Kung Fu was brought in @8 and Six Million moved to 9. Then Kolchak took over at 8 and Hot*l Baltimore/Odd Couple 9-10. Despite controversy Hot*l flopped. 10pm ABC tried Kolchak then Baretta and finally Get Christie Love Sat CBS lead  with #1 AITF then Paul Sand/MTM/Bob Newhart/Carol Burnett. Paul Sand lost too much of the lead in so CBS spun off The Jeffersons and it was a smash. NBC did OK with Emergency (which beat Paul Sand on occasion, thus hastening that show's demise) and a movie. ABC was a disaster with New Land/Kung Fu and Nakia all failing. They introduced a movie @9 and moved Kung Fu to 8. Sun  NBC  with Disney and Mystery Movie (Columbo McCloud, MacMillan and Wife/Amy Prentiss)did well. ABC flopped with Sonny Bono and recovered by moving Six Million Dollar Man from Fri as a lead in to the movie. CBS hoped Apples Way would be another Waltons but no, so Cher did what Sonny couldn't. Kojak and Mannix successfully finished out the night. Two other shows on the ratings list were Adams of Eagle Lake starring Andy Griffith. Only 2 episodes aired and did well, so I'm not sure what happened there. As for The Law it was a series follow up to a 2 and a half hour NBC special movie .
