But what keeps getting lost to history since not many of us were watching in the 1970's is that the whole Bill/Kate Winograd storyline was about NOT having an affair. The whole gist of Kate Winograd was that she would NEVER have an affair with a married man. That's why she left Salem. She was in love with Bill but could never take her feelings further due to him being married to Laura. 

Laura MISTAKINGLY thinking that Bill and Kate were having an affair is what set in motion what happened to Laura psychologically thereafter.

The naming of the character Kate and the retcon that it drove Laura crazy has led to the confusion.

It would have been more feasible had Bill had an affair post 1980 when the character left town-not unbelievable that with his wife institutionalized he might have cheated. And not to have named the character Kate.

The only way I can make it make sense for me (and even then, I'm grasping!) is to assume Bill met Kate ROBERTS shortly after Kate WINOGRAD left Salem but NOT before he (and Laura) leave Salem (and that the fact that they both were named "Kate" was just a total coincidence, lol).

It was a plot point written in 1993 that didn't exist in the 1970's, to help tie Kate and Lucas to another storyline in Salem. Same as for John's storyline and Tori Narita. Both involved time frames when the characters (Bill in 1977 and John in 1990's) were on-screen and viewers were watching them each day. Then these two women who had never existed on-screen at the time (Kate Roberts and Tori Narita) were supposedly having affairs with the Salem men, but we just didn't see it on-air.

In Bill's case, it totally upended the whole plot point of the 1970's storyline. He specifically never had an affair (with Kate Winograd, the non-existent Kate Roberts, or any other character), it was just that Laura thought he had done so.

Thanks!!! I can't believe Steve wasn't mentioned nor seen for so many years.. he didn't return for hope's weddings, his grandparents' funerals, it's crazy. I'm really glad TPTB bringing him back to help Julie and hope with Doug's passing. I'm counting on Kristian to appear in those episodes, it just won't be the same without her.

I wouldn't put it past Ron Carlivati to suggest that Steve Olsen and Cass Winthrop are the same person.

I don't know if this counts, but it popped up, so I put it here

Along with this tidbit about Jessica Serfaty's fiancée's brother on the Forbes, Billionaire under 30 list - It looks Sloan is doing a bit better than her on-screen husband when it comes to dating wealthy partners.

In 2022, Clemente Del Vecchio, 19, of Italy, earned a stake in EssilorLuxottica, the Italian-French maker of Ray-Ban, after his dad Leonardo Del Vecchio died.  He now has a net worth of $4.7 billion along with his brothers Leonardo Maria, 28, and Luca, 22.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
