It's strange in a way to read about and see clips of early Nancy as a cold stern controlling woman. I remember her more as loving "Gram" by the time I came along. I once saw a clip from 1974 where Nancy is in Bob's office and they are discussing Jennifer. Nancy is pretty much shredding her to Bob. Bob tells her Jennifer wants to have a career and have a family. Nancy says' " Oh Bob, whoever heard of that ?"

Wait - I really need to know or don’t really need to know what this is about Helen being naked in the makeup room. Please inform.

The Emily actress blurted this out during a story about Benjamin walking in the dressing room naked on a dare from SH and just taking to Martha Byrnes and others like he was dressed.  Kelly burst out with "Well what about Helen Wagner" and they all laughed like "yea.." and Martha said.."Well, that how it was in the THE-ATER" ! Funny stuff and yes, I can't scrub my mind from Nancy Hughes prancing around the Oakdale citizenry in bra and panties!!!

If memory serves, cast members who got out of line at ATWT had to answer to three individuals. First Don (who I think was described as more of the good cop), Kathryn and if it just wasn't improving, Helen.

Yes, it was a video of staff reminiscing and it was the Katie actress who talked about Don coming to smooth things over, then Hays to be. bit sterner.."kiddo" and then "If you saw Helen coming down the hall, you were in TROUBLE!"  So they werent that far off from their roles!

I’m sorry about her recent family tragedy and her other trials, but she did little to endear me over the years after that.  I’m team Hugo Napier. Team Jackie Schultz. Team Hillary B. Smith. That’s all I’m sayin’.

I’ve read that HBS and CZ didn’t get along, anyone know why?  From all the interviews I have read about HBS she is very well liked. 

That’s nice, Hillary’s mentioned that she continues to be very close friends with both Scott and Gregg in the past.

Gregg has had BAD facework done. Creepy.

There are various ATWT clips in this. Not sure if anyone can help with the date. It seems to be before August 9th. Maybe the 8th? 

 

 

Those earrings on Iva are a real trip. It's hard to imagine her wearing those. 

 

I wonder why they splashed out so much money on such an expansive kitchen set for - is that Cal's place? Woody's? It's gorgeous. Feels a bit like a waste as these characters didn't stay around long (Woody and Hannah and co). 

 

Hannah was such a pain. 

Those are the Carmen Miranda of earrings. My guess is that's a little bit of Lisa leaking through Iva's normally subdued wardrobe. 

Iva of 1985 had long hair and wore very trendy clothes..the longer she was in the show..the more subdued her look became.

From those pics someone else had very bad work done also! I don't get why good looking people just age naturally or do a small nip or tuck. I think GL's Zimmer (who I am sure had some work done ) looks great and natural and like a real person then this stuff!

Nancy & Chris returned from Arizonia in 1985, when did they leave in the frst place and who made that dumb ass decision

Everyone looks at youtube. NO need to post you tube videos here. Ridiculous. The idiot who posts youtube videos acts like he has discovered a treasure. But, we’ve already seen it.  Smh. Go to youtube and search As The World Turns. It all comes up. We’ve seen it all.

Helen Wagner would not renew her contract (they only offered her 1 day a week) right before the shows 25th anniversary...(the anniversary show that year is piss poor one with Kim and Nick getting married, though at least Chris walked her down the isle.)  A year later(?) they put McLautlin on recurring and they would trot the guy out for something dumb, like Margo's wedding shower and he would have no lines...Nancy and Chris came back for one episode for Tom and Margo's wedding, did not interact with anyone and were gone again until they brought Nancy back for Kim and Bob's wedding (McLaughlin must have not been well.) and then they brought them back that summer (I will forever think that ATWT had good mojo from then on for bringing an obviously failing DM back and putting him back on contract...THAT is the P & G soap I grew up on..)

 

The contract offered to Wagner was from Fred B as an executive producer and putting Don on recurring and then getting rid of him was Bunim.
