This is great news, and the episode selection is excellent!

However, I have an unfortunate feeling that DVD sales of ATWT reruns are going to do very poorly. I base this on the fact that reruns of cancelled soaps have always done so miserably in the past.

Now that I've predicted that DVD sales will be poor (thus making future DVD sets of other P&G soaps unlikely), hopefully some other posters will no longer brush me aside as a "disgruntled and bitter P&G soap fan" for having the "audacity" to predict that the PP online venture with AMC and OLTL will end in failure. (When I make predictions, I just call them like I see them and leave my personal preferences at the door.)

Thanks for the list I believe I've seen most of these too through first-run, the old defunct WOST site and other clips except for the 1979 episode. Although I'm curious what the 6/18/01 ep was about specifically if I recall right it was around the time Holden was presumed dead on Malta. The only ep I'm don't know I could watch again is the 8/2/99 ep simply because I dunno if I could stomach watching Rosanna and Brad gleefully ruining Hal and Barbara's engagement party. I mean it was a lot of good performances especially by West and Bryggman but the whole thing always left a bad taste in my mouth probably cause I was rooting for Carly all the way...even when she was forced by Julia and Lisa to clean toilets. wacko.png

Anyways, I'll be buying it. I don't expect good sales either but this is really a blessing.

W O W!!

Count me in. I can't believe this!!!

Steve and Betsy were one of my favorite couples and I loved the Margo and Tom wedding!

So many good things listed! I am like you Ron! They could do without the Luke stuff for me. Afterall that is available on You Tube!

I would like to see the Douglas Cummings story again.

SteveFrame (the late poster,not the character) would have loved something like this!

I wonde if Dusty (Actor87) knows?

OMFG if this is legit...I really don't know what to say. If this is legit, then that's just incredible/amazing. I wonder how long it took them to put it together if it's to be released tomorrow. Hopefully, it's manufacture-on-demand so that sales won't have to be incredibly high to justify continuing the sets. At a dollar-per-episode, it's an epic bargain, and diehard ATWT/P&G fans should think nothing of ordering!

In the age of YouTube (and WoST before it, and the CBS reruns before that), it's gonna be hard for them to find "big" episodes that haven't been available since their original airing, but this can be just the start of something really amazing that I've been screaming for on this very board for a LONG TIME! I would have liked to see some 1950s-1970s stuff included, but I wonder if they have anything at all from that era in the archives besides grainy kinescopes that wouldn't look too good on DVD.

The Luke coming out is too recent. I know it was a big occasion for ATWT and daytime but I wouldn't have included it. I would have rather seen some Lucinda/Connor takeover episode or Douglas Cummings story too. I would have loved to have seen Frannie vs Darryl story too. I hope there are some more releases but if they are not at least I will have one DVD collection of my favorite soap.

Yes, that is a bargain. I thought it would be more.

I have no problems at all with Luke's coming out being included. That story was the last time the show was really relevant outside the soap industry, so it's no surprise something from it is included. Just count your lucky stars they went with Luke coming out and not Nuke's first kiss or Nuke jump on a bed or Blind Noah looks constipated or Luke is a bitch or anything like that.

I actually liked the episodes where he came out to Kevin. They were real with good acting. I'm glad they didn't include anything Nuke. I truly wish they had included the episode where Connor took over Walsh Enterprise from Lucinda. That episode was a classic and it isnt on youtube.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
