As The World Turns Discussion Thread

[vetsoapfan]

If they do another ATWT reunion, I would love to see Eileen Fulton on camera, giving an uncensored, no-holes-barred account of her years on the show...particularly during the final era, when she was marginalized and basically ignored/slapped in the face by TPTB. You KNOW she'd have some things to say about Goutman, Sheffer, and Pissy!

 

I also want to see our beloved Kathryn Hays, Patricia Bruder, Marie Masters, Elizabeth Hubbard and Larry Bryggman. I may be in the minority about longing to see all these "old folks" again, but...the STORIES they could tell!

 

As for TGL, and I thrilled beyond words that Maureen Garrett is coming to the chat! Now if we could also get Jerry ver Dorn , my life would be complete!

[Soapsuds]

Jerry will be on tomorrow.

Really? I had not seen him listed in the original announcement.

 

That is so cool. Thanks for the update.

 

I'm actually getting a bit misty-eyed, just thinking about Garrett and ver Dorn talking about TGL and their iconic characters.

[Soapsuds]

Its on the GL thread . CBS soaps in depth I believe broke the news on Twitter.

I'll be there. During quarantine I've been immsersed in vintage soaps from the halcyon years (which I consider to be from the 1950s to the early 1980s), so these reunion specials fit right in with my current viewing habits.

Yeah I just saw they added him, but I guess Soapsuds beat me to it. Jerry will be there!

Then I must be in that minority too because I would love to hear from all those you mentioned, especially in their own words, unfiltered. Boy I hope Locher (or someone) can make these type of livestream events a regular thing because I'd also love to hear from people like Scott Bryce, Hillary Bailey Smith, Melanie Smith, etc. I like hearing insightful anecdotes and stories on their characters, how they got their roles, storylines that surprised them, etc. So much fun.

There is another live reunion scheduled for this Friday at 2pm central /3pm eastern.

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Cool!  Hopefully there are some more 'Golden Era' actors in the mix.

[Soapsuds]

My list....Scott Bryce, Greg Marx, HBS and Patricia Bruder

Fantastic news!

 

I'd like to hear from Lisa Brown. Although, they may snag her for a GL chat.

 

Scott Bryce would be great, and I always thought Larry Bryggman would have some stories to tell.

[vetsoapfan]

 

I'd love to hear from those other actors whom you mentioned too!

[Soapsuds]

I'd love to see Melanie Smith too. She was my Emily . I never cared for KMH in the role. She only worked with the late great Terry Lester.

Nice!!!

Maybe they can get Scott Bryce, Hilary B. Smith, Larry Bryggman, Peter Boynton, Lisa Brown, Lindsay Frost, Melanie Smith etc...

I'd love to hear from Lindsay Frost too. Peter would be another good one and let me add Allyson Rice who played Connor Walsh.
