ATWT: P&G to release ATWT DVD Collection

[juppiter]

I wanna watch the next one now And the one after that, and the one after that. 2000 was such a year of incredible highs and lows for ATWT and I wanna experience it all again -- from the woman with the boots who ended up being Simon's sister, to Lily and Simon being stuck on an island for weeks and weeks and weeks on end. I would love to be super masochistic and watch it all over again.

Even in 2000 I hated Katie....Henry looked so pudgy in 2000....lol.....I hated Georgia and Eddie ...glad they left that year.

[RogerNewcomb]

Still in the works, definitely a long process one tape at a time, but it's going on whenever a machine is available.

[DRW50]

I liked Georgia, although I never bought her as Lucinda's niece. She didn't have that fire. She made Bianca seem like a street fighter.

[Soapsuds]

Oh dear Bianca was worse..neither character worked. I remember my mom saying that Bianca was a useless character and hated seeing her on screen.

[juppiter]

if and when it happens I could see not leaving the house for days actually.

[Soapsuds]

lol....I'd probably start with the Connor years. There are specific episodes I want to see again.

[DRW50]

I thought Bianca was a good extension of Lucinda's character. She was, essentially, Lucinda's pet, and the "perfect" daughter she never had a chance to have in Lily or Lucinda. As a character in her own right, I agree that she wasn't all that interesting, but I thought she made for potentially more interesting dynamics in the Walsh family. I think that they could have eventually had her like Saffron to Lucinda's Edwina.

I mostly want to see those scattered 70's episodes which are available. After that I'd love a stream of the Marland years, as I remember that having a very good day-to-day flow.

[Soapsuds]

That's the thing Bianca wasn't interesting and neither was the actress.

I want to see the Ruxton Hills stuff....Lucinda losing her company, The Steve vs Craig stuff again...The McColls again and the Whit murder and the CC murder to name a few.

It was nice seeing Betsy and Steve's cabin in the new years eve episode.

[DRW50]

I think they could have recast Bianca - she did leave for, what was it, working at the UN? Then she was never mentioned again.

[P.J.]

Bianca was the perfect daughter that accepted Lucinda in spite of her schemes. She wasn't as much a character in her own right as a touchstone to remind everyone Lucinda had a heart.

Teehee....Conn's acting hasn't improved. I nearly peed my pants laughing at her attempt at a stiff upper lip on OLTL today. I almost feel sorry for her, stuck in the vaccum of suck that is Rex&Gigi---arguably the two worst actors on that show.

I think Camille's around until almost 2001. I know she's involved in the Ben&Curtis storyline, which I think started in early '00. I seem to remember Jack tries to rescue Curtis after Carly leaves him at the altar in Feb.'00.

And amen to the suckitude of Lynn Martin. I swear I could tell if it was a Lynn Martin day by the opening scene.

[DRW50]

Yes, Camille was fired in mid/late 2000. The actress was surprised. I didn't care about her with Ben's brother but liked her story with John. She was a good actress. I thought it was a mistake to get rid of her, and I felt like it was mostly down to not wanting to have 3 black women on the show in major roles.

[P.J.]

Yeah, I was going to say you could probably just look up when Napiera Groves was hired to find out Harkins last air date.

[juniorz1]

Well that clears up the last dating issue that the collection has. On my set, they have the "Humiliation" episode listed as March 15, 1996, when it clearly happens after the 40th Anniversary Show, listed as April 2, 1996. But what you listed here Ron makes much more sense.

Obviously they rushed this a little, to get the dates wrong and the obvious late-in-the-game decision not to put characters' faces on the discs. I don't mind though, as I'm enjoying the hell out of it and may even get the 'GL' release, and I am not and was never really a fan of that show (though I do hope to get at least 1 Marcy Walker episode out of that deal )

[juppiter]

I had totally forgotten about Curtis' existence. I remember liking the actor. Sucks that ATWT purged its black cast in the mid-2000s.

The worst was when ATWT hired Craig Heller. He really gave Lynn Martin a run for her money.
