Interesting.  For 1972 that’s pretty remarkable.  Bill Bell and Agnes Nixon really liked to push the envelope didn’t they.  Which is kind of incredible because on paper, they were as old school as you can get.  I think if both of them were still writing shows today, there would be some interesting explorations going on.

My favorite Ashley... she was much prettier and more likable as Ashley.. but don't cross her.

 

I loved the Nina/Christine/Dru/Neil/Danny grouping and all of them rescuing Dru from another one of her misguided stunts at fame.  I used to love when Jill and Dru would tangle with Dru calling Jill 'the Dragon Lady'.. when Jill was actually being logical and giving Dru actual commonsense advice LOL

Damn, Katherine's fantasy of hurting Jill was terrifying - only veering into complete lolcamp near the very end. The makeup people did a fantastic job on Katherine's scarred face (I guess they were at their peak with the Tyrone story) and Jeanne Cooper's screams and wails were just right. 

 

That reminds me more of the audio of the whole Suzanne story. It was weird seeing it on Y&R by 1985.

 

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that darkly lit shot of Katherine smoking with her holder (whatever you call those things). Just a gorgeous, atmospheric shot - says so much. I love the darker Katherine before she became so cleaned up and a it more dull.

 

Bill Bell really did love using Katherine for some of his gothic and extreme writing impulses, didn't he? 

 

When Jazz asked Tyrone about what it was like being white I thought he might actually talk about things like white privilege. I guess that was way too on the nose for 1985. 

 

Eww Nikki has some kind of mullet/soccer mom style. Is that photographer supposed to be a pervert? He looks familiar to me. 

 

For once I actually like Ashley's look here, even if it looks like she should be on Kate & Allie.

Does anyone else think Amy Gibson (Alana) looks like Faye Resnick ( @Cat @DaytimeFan ) I had only ever seen Alana in photos or a clip of the whiteface reveal. She looks somewhat biracial to me here. I did laugh at Jazz thinking the other girl was Alana, mostly because they didn't mock the girl - she got the last reaction. I really like Jazz. And I am always glad to see more of Amy (the character). She brightens up the show. I wish Bill Bell had held onto these characters. 

 

Jack saying Dina isn't thinking clearly at the moment made me feel sad, even though that wasn't what Bell say intending obviously. I guess this was the start of the Victor/Jack feud. 

 

I was shocked to see the Foster home at this point. I wonder if this was the last time we ever saw it. Love love love getting to see more of Liz and Jill. Hard to believe it hadn't even been 5 years from the touching Jill/Liz scene with Bond Gideon to Brenda's Jill being so deluded and selfish she actually asked Liz to mortgage her home! 

 

I think this may be the earliest Miguel I've seen (was he in the 1984 episodes put up a few months ago?).

      Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.

      I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….

      There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.

      I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

      I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980.

      Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
