From what I understand ATWT was #1 in the yearly ratings that period, just not every week. -

Thank you, Jason. I always thought As the World Turns was the number one soap from 1958 to 1978. I guess that's not true. -
Does anyone have a casting choice in mind for Sharon ? I'd totally love to see Anna Maria Horsford -

It would have been interesting to see Sam Groom back in the role of Russ, when the character returned in 1989 (or even in a later return). David Bailey was acceptable as Russ, but he didn't have much acting range. And if Russ and Rachel ever reunited, I don't think Bailey would have been the best choice, because Rachel's husband sort of becomes AW's leading man. I don't think Bailey would have risen to that challenge. But Groom could have done that wonderfully. I would have also been okay with a complete recast -- hopefully with an actor with a good deal of soap opera experience and someone happy with the role long-term. And to answer a question: I do not believe Russ's return in 1989 was originally meant to be short-term. With the reveal that Josie was his daughter, and with Olivia on the canvas, there was lots for Russ to do. I think Lemay's plan was that Russ return permanently, but Donna Swajeski probably didn't think he was exciting enough and lost interest in Russ. -
