I really, really wanted the prom episode on there to at least have more Rick but with the music, it can't be included. There was another episode I had included that got bumped last minute due to music as well which included Rick and a great scene with Grant-Chris Bernau.

Just ordered the DVD. I think what is costly is not the DVD but the shipping charges. I get all my shipping free on Amazon....I think 4.95 is a bit steep for shipping..JMO of course....with all the sales that are being made I am sure the shipping charges could be lowered. It's done all the time on Ebay.

Ditto

It's nice to see Jarrod Ross in the DVD collection. I liked him as Phillip. I was bummed when he was aged.

Really wish this was 10 episodes instead of 5- agree with everyone that the price is a little steep with shipping for 5 eps when the 20 ep sets are such a great deal. BUT i am so excited to see Hayden as Lizzie- she was one of the best child actresses ever on soaps. I wish one of her cancer storyline eps was included where Phillip was married to Harley and Beth was secretly pregnant with James, who would save Lizzie. The one where Phillip revealed he was the father as Lizzie took a turn for the worse was one of my favorite GL moments ever. Here's to hoping for more eps (and please please please some old school Michelle/Danny) soon! Thanks soapclassics.

I get a lot of emails, and I assume Soap Classics does too, from fans wanting stuff from the last 10 years. I guess since I prefer the oldest possible stuff I figured a lot of other fans did too. But whatever most people want, and will buy, is the direction it will go. With the streaming in addition to the DVDs, hopefully everyone will be able to get the see the shows they want. A year ago, I didn't think anything like this would ever happen so it's amazing we're talking about it.

That would be from 2002 and on...ugh....no to both of those for ATWT and GL. I want the classic stuff from the 80s and early 90s...I havent even touched the newer episodes on the GL and ATWT releases that I have bought......they are just awful memories and too fresh in my memory to watch again......no thanks to those again as a whole DVD relases. I wont be buying if that is the case....whether it makes more sales or not.....sorry

The last ten years--that is so odd. I wonder how long these people even watched ATWT and/or GL. And if when they do get a set with their favorite performer featured whether they will buy something else and if they are already customers. So we shall see what happens in the future regardless.

I can see why, in the era of hyper-concentrated fan bases, demands would go more for a modern era. "Manny" and "Jammy" and "Carjack" and "Lusty" and "Peg" and "Pem" and many others.

I have little to no interest in seeing anything from the last 10 years. It's a stretch for me to even watch stuff from after about 1995. But now more than ever I see I'm in the minority on that.

I have some episodes of ATWT from 2007. I dont need that on DVD again. I can see those episodes in my own collection that I have taped on DVD. I sometimes find one from 2007 and think how awful the show became and how little time it had left.

Watching the free episode...I never knew Hilary Edson was on this show at this time (she was Eve from 92-95). And she's playing a girl named Tanya...on GH a year or two after this she played a character named Tania. Weird.

The hyper-concentrated fan bases most likely discuss it and campaign as they have for years. Another thing is some people haven't watched forever. For example if you ask me what I'd like from the 1980s as I only started watching in the second half of the decade, a lot of things I don't know. That's why I like seeing the older episodes.

There isn't only one thing I wish to see, and am all over the board. And I've written about what I do want, but I have a list of about 20/30 things not just 1. I know my opinion is just of one person.

I was thinking of another theme I would like...

3 disk set of weddings (yes I know the first sets had weddings), but I'd do a decade break out. And the weddings would not even have to end in marriage, a ceremony be stopped for whatever reason like Reva running out on Kyle or Alan/Roger in the church during Blake/Phillip. Others for GL in the 80s could be Ed/Maureen (either their first or the renewal) Kurt/Mindy Alan/Reva (just for the crazy) Harley/AM India/Phillip...I could go on, but I won't.

Considering there have been only 2 weddings from the 90s released (Beth/Phillip and Josh/Reva there is a lot of ground that could be covered there.) Some people may want to see the 1999 remarriage of Josh and Reva. But you could also have Frank/Eleni or sadly not Hamp and Gilly due to Roberta Flack though the wedding was awesome, Billy and Nadine's drunk wedding, Holly being kidnapped by Daniel/aborted wedding mess, Harley/Mallet, Bridget interrupting Julie and Dylan, Nick and Mindy, Blake/Ross, Roger marrying Alex, Jenna or Dinah, (never saw the Alex wedding, but Jenna and Dinah were both insane events), Dinah/Hart or an early Manny wedding would be examples.

For 2000+, I was thinking Cassie/Richard, if an earlier Manny wedding wasn't included one from after 2000, Tammy/Sandy being interrupted by Jonathan, Bill/Lizzie wedding, Frank/Natalia where she ran out, when Phillip came back and stopped Beth/Alan (three things from the last year if people want more recent material, though I would only choose one for variety's sake). Josh/Reva 2002 (depending if 1999 is on the 90s), Blake/Ross Christmas (if the 1994 one wasn't in the 90s disc), Bill and Olivia's shotgun nuptials in jail, Alan being shot by Ashlee after he married Doris. Those are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head.

Not every episode I mentioned I believe is a classic, but I would enjoy seeing more wedding episodes. Then again that may just be me.

2)Roger Thorpe Episodes, 1979-80, Roger in Disguises Sneaking around Town, when they all thought he was Dead. Roger Chasing Dr Renee Dubois, she falls downstairs & Dies. etc The Roger rapes Holly Episode(A True Classic) & the follow up Episode. Then the trial where Rita Finally reveals that Roger Raped her too. Rogers 1989 Return to Springfield, Blake & Phillp's wedding where They all learn Roger's alive, Holly screams etc Great Stuff

3)Rita Stapleton Bauer, One of the best Characters in GL's History(My Favorite). Every scene with Rita is a classic...

4) Murder & Courtroom Confessions, Lucille Wexler falls on Letter opener then Jennifer Richards Revealing on the stand That Amanda is her daughter. The Classic Awesome Episode where Diane Ballard Is Killed, during Thunderstorm, all the suspects are seen by the Audience, coming home, then the audience sees Diane Laying on the floor. Then Carrie's trial where she admits she killed Diane etc. Then Annie setting up Reva, by falling downstairs,Killing Baby she lost already, then her cpourtroom confession.

5) Nola & Quint Disc, Nola & Quints Engagement Party, where Nola & Vanessa have catfight in the same Scarlett O'hara Dress. Plus Nola's almost Hilarious wedding to Floyd, when she says "I Can't"

6) A Bauer DVD, Alan & Hope's wedding at Bert's house, Bert's final scene at Hillary Bauer's funeral when Bert stands beside Hillary's Coffin. Ed & Maureens wedding at Bert's house, Bert's leg Amputation Story etc..

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

      Please register in order to view this content

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
