Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 12, 2021 Members Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thanks for posting this. It's like I posted in a different thread in this section: soaps have a very difficult time with innovation on any level. They don't do it very often. Phillips was voted down when she wanted to ditch the organ music when The Guiding Light was finally brought to television (another change that P&G resisted for years, as they wanted to keep TGL on radio, while Phillips immediately wanted to bring the serial to TV as soon as the technology became available) because Phillips worried that the organ music, which she deemed unnecessary for a visual medium like television, would become a trope that would be easily mocked. Phillips wasn't always right and Lord knows she had a history of being unkind, at times, but she was clearly right in these instances. I think her constant battles with P&G and her even more frequent bouts with self-doubt clearly embittered her and also gave her a world view that a woman in a man's world was always going to be constrained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted November 13, 2021 Members Share Posted November 13, 2021 If Irna was under an exclusive contact with Procter & Gamble from around 1964 to 1970, how was she able to be involved with both Days of our Lives and Love is a Many Splendored Thing? I don't believe, though could be wrong, that either show had anything to do with P&G. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 13, 2021 Members Share Posted November 13, 2021 Something very interesting that I picked up on when I watched an episode from November 1986. Frannie Hughes, while in London, was having a conversation with a PhD candidate in child clinical psychology, Dr. Hildebrand whose focus, among one other speciality, was autism. I wonder whether this was there earliest reference to autism in a daytime soap? The quality of this episode is poor, so, at times it can be hard to make out some bits, here and there but Dr. Hildebrand was definitely clear on autism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 Normally, I avoid these gossipy blogs and vlogs but I actually recognized the subjects in this particular video. When the host described the situation as a soap opera and then proceeded to yell "Soap opera music!" And OMG, guess what theme music was used at the :22 second mark??

Members John Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thoughts on all The Margo's on ATWT Also why did they cast such young actresses in Veleka Gray and Anne Sward to play Mom to Margo, Cricket & Craig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted November 23, 2021 Members Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I read on Facebook that he had a single out. I was like Holden Snyder sings?

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 23, 2021 Members Share Posted November 23, 2021 Well, count me in as someone who had no idea that Hensley sang. The men on the show didn't often sing as much or as often as the women did. There were a few exceptions, like Bob's duet with Kim at their wedding reception. This seemed to be in contrast with some other '80s soaps that had seemed to have their fair share of singers (Michael Damian, Rick Springfield, Jack Wagner). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted November 23, 2021 Members Share Posted November 23, 2021 The Lily paternity reveal in the barn looks hilarious without dialogue...Fichtner's reaction looks like it came from a silent movie (of course, the Snyders and their barnyard incest antics were my least favorite part of the show...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted November 24, 2021 Members Share Posted November 24, 2021 I know Richard Backus from Ryan's Hope and For Richer or Poorer wrote on ATWT (per IMDB), but I was under the impression that he played Jason Benedict, the guy who Iva married - is that false? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted November 24, 2021 Members Share Posted November 24, 2021 Much appreciated @slick jones, I wish your thread had its own tab because it is should a valuable resource and so much more specific than IMDB Do you have info on his ATWT characters? Was Karl related to the other Eldredges? Was Russ involved with Iva? And was Richard Backus a writer or is IMDB incorrect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
