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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By JAS0N47 · Posted

      That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

      Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.

      Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be.

      I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here.

      It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
