What was the trial about involving Sean Baxter?

This episode has some of the palimony lawsuit.

Put it here too because a lot of ATWT talk at the beginning. John James mentions how he wanted to buy the rights to As The World Turns.

 

Sorry to hear about Jessica Klein. Her brief 1997 co-headwriting run was not well-received, but given that no other headwriters at that point were any better received, I'm not sure how much is on her. Her work on ATWT in 84-85 is very underrated, and Marland and Calhoun could not have turned the show around without the efforts Klein, Bedsow Horgan, etc. made, especially in cleaning up how grim and unpleasant the show can feel in the early '80s.

I think she did some decent work on 90210 and possibly MP in the '90s, and I know she was on the OLTL 2.0 team in 2013.

Sorry, I was not implying she was poor in all her later HW work. I just meant the  criticism she and her writing partner got when they were briefly back at ATWT.

I know you weren't, I was just adding my thoughts.

I am still waiting for someone to interview SBH on her work on ATWT.

I know there was a podcast interview 7-8 years ago, but not much else. 

 

I take it this is the early days of Linc Lafferty, who, once again, a new twenty-something male, falls for Lily. Meanwhile, this episode includes the end of Gail's palimony suit, in which Tonio gave evidence for Sean's defense. I cackled when Gail told Tonio that he was lousy in bed, and he proceeded to cut her off. I take this isn't long after Casey's death due to them mentioning the case involving Margo and Casey's parents while Lyla is still grieving. I also enjoyed Cal and Julie's picnic, although it comes out that Linc and Julie share a past in Seattle. He really seemed pissed that she had another kid with her first husband. 😂

Nonetheless, I didn't care about Duncan and Shannon finding the body of some woman. I'm sure this is another attempt at a Gothic mystery between the couple. I forgot to mention we got a temp Lisa recast with Jane Powell. And a bearded Mark Pinter returns as Brian McColl, who shares scenes with his ex-love and real-life wife at the time. At first, I didn't recognize Lien due to her being dressed a tad more glamorous than usual, as she was elated to see Duke home from Seattle. 

I know 1990 was said to be an odd year for longtime viewers, but at this point, it seemed things were getting better in the long run. (I was two months old when this episode aired.)

5 more episodes from 1990 on Dodger's page.

This must be late November as Margo is out of the hospital, and a Capitol scene mentions inviting someone to Thanksgiving dinner. I don't think this episode has already been online. It's not complete. It starts around  42 minutes.

Thanks @DRW50I haven’t been able to watch any episodes of vintage daytime dramas lately but hopefully I can make some time to watch this, as it appears to be from 1986, which for me, was a top tier year for ATWT.

That looks like Jess Walton in the screen grab! Even as a young child, I had great sympathy for Kelly. Her transition from that character to bodacious Jill Foster Abbott just exemplifies just how good Walton is.

@DRW50  Thanks for the tag!

The As The World Turns episode is from the week of January 19-23 1987. The Dallas preview before the ATWT closing credits gives it away.

Btw thanks for the non tag.😂

Don't try to apologize either.😂

Ugh.  I forgot how it all worked out....they were already trolling B&B and pushing it before Capitol was even off the air. I'd forgotten that.
