Members Paul Raven Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks for the reply. Obviously the writers who replaced Irna had no interest in Carol.Tom got involved with Meredith the heiress and then they seemed to be moving towards Tom and Barbara Ryan (Donna Wandrey). Would love to see synopses of that time to see how that all played out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members adrnyc Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh my Lord- thank you for posting that!! It's so frustrating trying to piece together what happens in-between the available episodes on YouTube. Although I have the 40th anniversary book with a detailed synopses, there's no particular order to each year in it. Weekly synopses from SOD will be a GIANT help in me keeping track as I go through the show!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 Unless I am having a senior moment, LOL, I think she only began working on ATWT in 1970, so she could have auditioned for AMC and ATWT the same year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 You're very welcome!! 😊 Well, she mentioned that she had already been on ATWT for a few months before AMC was mentioned. So, she must have started on ATWT earlier than 1970. Dates weren't mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted December 12, 2017 Members Share Posted December 12, 2017 I checked various soap-history books and they do list her debut year on ATWT as 1970. Maybe she auditioned for both soaps around the same time, got hired quickly by ATWT, and then only heard back from AMC again after she had already been cast as Carol? I guess it's impossible to verify if no dates are mentioned in her book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GH_Girl Posted December 15, 2017 Members Share Posted December 15, 2017 Yes!! I've just started at 1985 and I'm mid-way through 1986 now, so this will be super helpful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted December 15, 2017 Members Share Posted December 15, 2017 Actually, in the 1980s SOD was biweekly (I believe they went weekly in 1997), but it will still be a big help in your viewing. 😊 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 15, 2017 Members Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Yes, I looked online and most sources have Rita starting May 1970, but as we have found with The Doctors reruns, dates can be off. I believe Irna left in early 1970 as she was working on A World Apart. She was listed as headwriter on a Jan 30 script posted online. Pretty sure Carol was her creation as it seems odd she would bring her back in 72 if she hadnt created the character. So most likely Rita/Carol began mid 1969. That would fit in with her auditioning for AMC Nov/Dec of that year. Edited December 15, 2017 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted December 16, 2017 Members Share Posted December 16, 2017 Interesting perspective from TW. I think I remember about him writing. Ironic he at one point is talking about Diego /Umberto, and the murder is later (badly) pinned on him. Kinda weird that he's also talking about the Snyders being pushed out in part because they were so closely identified with Marland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
