Thanks @will81 for putting such effort ! A few questions about 1986 :

- Were Amy O'Neill and Lee Nicholl on contract ? There were very short term. I don't remember having seen credits with them on.

- Do you think that Carolyn Conwell's last contract airdate was July 7th ? From was I have gathered, she went recurring in 1986 and only came back to contract during 1998-2003.

- About Nathan Purdee, you list them as recurring beginning in July. Is it how he was credited? I'm surprised he was taken off contract at the same time as St. Elwood and Morris. Talk about a black purge ! I think Purdee was off after the summer and only came back a year later.

Amy was on contract for sure. Her name is always with the contract players from her first appearance. Lee was on contract but only for the wrap up of Who Shot Jill, so Aug - Oct 86. However IMDB has cast credits from Sep - Dec 12th and they seem pretty accurate except Doug Davidson and Kate Linder have been listed on every single episode, they are the only ones this happens to, so I couldn't do those charts without making definite errors.

 

Yes Carolyn most likely last aired as a contract player in Jul 86 until around 98. I have been collecting all the available cast credits from 89 - 93 based on episodes we have, while I can't do cast charts, at least it gives an idea of who was on contract and who wasn't. Plus when certain changes were made (roughly) I can post those as well at some point in the future. I looked at the 89-90 period when Mary was appearing a lot due to the Cassandra Rawlins story and Carolyn was still non-contract. Her appearances only get more scant after this. So I assume 86 was her last on contract period until 98ish

 

Nathan is a bit tricky. If you look at June you should see him twice. On contract to June 6 and off from Jun 12. The last on contract credits we have for Nathan are from Jun 3 and his next appearance was Jun 6. Then we get credits again on Jun 10 and he is non contract. His next appearance was Jun 12. I assumed he was still on contract Jun 6. Nathan disappears around the time of Danny's concert but returns once in Oct and once in Nov (possibly he appears in Dec but don't have all those episodes) He returns May 6, 1987 and is off contract at this point.

 

Also two other bits of trivia - Esther is never referred to as Esther Valentine in the credits until April 29, 1987. Nathan is still referred to as Kong in 1986 and I am not sure why. I remember an episode where he insists on being called Nathan, so why they listed him as Kong in 1986 is a mystery to me. Maybe just error on the part of whoever did the credits I guess. ETA: I checked actually the change it from February, last Kong reference is Feb 10, 1986. Not as bad as I remember

 

Traci Abbott is immediately changed to Traci Abbott Carlton from Jun 25 which is the next credits list we get after Brad and Traci marry, but since it was so near the end of the month I changed it for July.

Confirmed that Nathan was on the Dec '86 New Year Eve's ep (don't know exact date) - he can be seen in clip 124 in the Vault during Gina's NYE party.

In the SOD recap, his absence from Jan-Apr '87 is explained... Amy is sad because she hasn't heard from Nathan, only to find out that had gone off the grid to study for his diploma (which is a nice idea in theory to surprise her, but probably better if he had just told her what was going on...)

I checked IMDB for the available episodes and Nathan does appear Dec 2,3,4 1986 but whether or not these are absolutely correct I have no idea. Again only Doug and Kate are incorrect for sure. So Nathan had at least 4 episodes in Dec with the NYE one

Well, now that person on archive has uploaded May 18, 1989! Much better quality than the one I posted. Yes, I refreshed the archive page multiple times today lol... oh, how awesome would it be if they had the rest of the month in English!

FYI re: the exact airdates of the German '87 eps... I noticed for the ep "Nikki sees Victor and Ashley", the English version in the Vault was dated 5/28... but the German version is dated 5/27.

I don't know which date is correct...?

 

But when we reach June 16, when Phillip is arrested for drunk driving, the English version in the Vault and the German version are both dated June 16 so we're back in sync date-wise by this point.

    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
