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.

I have quite a few uploads to post over the next few days, but here's some more "new" January 1992 episodes! (With Dutch Subtittles)

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?).

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned saying that Mark got in a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static-y cuts, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. Perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
    • Thank you so much @skylark ! @Vee @vetsoapfan @Paul Raven @soapfan770 @All My Shadows @FrenchFan @Contessa Donatella @Maxim @Brent @Forever8 @Khan @MissPalmer @Chris B @SoapDope @jam6242 @slick jones @dc11786 @te. @soapfan61 @Soaplovers@Avatar610 @AMCOLTLLover
    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.    
    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
