Members JAS0N47 Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 She was mostly focused on Our House. They used a body double for awhile while she was laying in her hospital bed. She'd tape multiple episodes a day (back when they didn't do that much) and then they put her on the island with Orpheus so she could quickly tape all of her stuff without involving a majority of the cast.

Members Gray Bunny Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 DAYS at a solid #3 but more so because all the others around them have dropped so drastically. This year really saw a steady decline for the top half. Another World has managed to buck the trend so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 What to look forward to in 1987: Y&R continuing its climb to #1. End of Capitol and premiere of B&B. CBS new daytime schedule w/ B&B at 1:30 pm and As the World Turns at 2 pm. Supercouple Days transitions from the Bo/Hope years to the Steve/Kayla years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAS0N47 Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 PREEMPTION DATA CAN BE FIGURED OUT FROM THE FOUR "MISSING" WEEKS... Good news, about the preemption data at least, for the 4 missing weeks from 1987 and 1991. I realized we can compare the # of telecasts in the prior book to the # of telecasts in the next book and figure out if any soaps were preempted during the "missing week." For example, we don't have the 10/19/87-10/23/87 book, but by comparing the # of telecasts in the 10/12/87 book, and seeing if all soaps had 10 additional telecasts in the 10/26/87 book, that would confirm if anything was preempted in the 10/19/87 book. All of the soaps had 10 additional telecasts in their telecast column between 10/12 to 10/26, so that confirms there were NO full preemptions of any soaps during the missing week of 10/19/87.

Members kalbir Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Y&R back to #1! February 1987 big storylines were Ashley in the New York psychiatric facility and Nikki illness. @Soapsuds will be happy to see As the World Turns at 3rd. This would have been the England remote leading to Frannie and Sabrina meeting. Julianne Moore A&E Biography showed the Frannie/Sabrina meeting scene. A month away from the end of Capitol and start of B&B. Capitol seems to have gotten a boost with the end being near.

Members j swift Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Interesting because 10/19/87 was the date of a historic stock market crash, which would have been reported during the day. Also, 10/17 - 10/25/87 was the last year that MLB played daytime games for the World Series, and it was broadcast on ABC, but the games started at 3pm EST.

Members JAS0N47 Posted October 7, 2023 Members Share Posted October 7, 2023 I just looked in a newspaper from 10/17/87, and the World Series schedule is listed as all night games (all 8:25PM ET or 8:30PM ET starts), except for Game 6, if needed, which was a Saturday 4PM ET start. So it looks like 1986 was the last time they did regular daytime games for the World Series. As for the stock market crash, we don't have the partial preemptions for that week, just full preemptions. All the soaps aired 5 episodes that week, so at most, they were possibly partially preempted for stock market news stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 8, 2023 Members Share Posted October 8, 2023 It's too bad that all of February was removed from YouTube. It had the great remote. A 7.9 was an outstanding number for ATWT. Btw I did get your message. Give me time to respond.

Members JAS0N47 Posted October 8, 2023 Members Share Posted October 8, 2023 "MISSING WEEK" 12/14/87-12/18/87 Preemptions (confirmed via Telecasts as of 12/13 & 12/27): The Christmas Day preemptions for all ABC & CBS soaps means their telecast numbers should go up by 9 during the missing week, and the NBC soaps should go up by 10 telecasts, which they all do. So there were NO full preemptions for the missing week of 12/14-12/18/87. SOAP TELECASTS: As of 12/13-As of 12/27 AMC 55-64 (1 preemption 12/25) AW 51-61 ATWT 58-67 (1 preemption 12/25) BB 57-66 (1 preemption 12/25) DAYS 54-64 GH 55-64 (1 preemption 12/25) GL 58-67 (1 preemption 12/25) LOV 55-64 (1 preemption 12/25) OLTL 53-62 (1 preemption 12/25) RYAN 55-64 (1 preemption 12/25) SB 52-62 YR 58-67 (1 preemption 12/25) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted October 8, 2023 Members Share Posted October 8, 2023 NBC aired new episodes on Christmas Day? Was this common at the time or was this a one off by NBC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
