Nice holiday jump for soaps.

ATWT maintained its jump into 1983.

Capitol wasn't able to maintain its high of 7.2.

1982/83 seasonal ratings has Y&R in 4th, behind the ABC big three. 1983/84 seasonal ratings Y&R moves past One Life to Live for 3rd. Sometime during 1983 we'll see Y&R move ahead of One Life to Live.

I believe Y&R moves past OLTL in May/June 1983.

Anybody know in what month in 1983 did this promo air?

 

Barbara in the bull ring and the Spain remote are coming soon in the ratings for ATWT.

Did CBS combine with ATWT and Y&R often? I ask because I have a single print ad that is combo ATWT/Y&R themed "Secrets" but I have no idea of its date. Just happened upon it last week. Have seen lots where ATWT & GL are in together but this was a first.

We'll also see if there's any truth to L. Virginia Browne's claim that she brought Guiding Light up 2 full ratings points -- from 8th place to 3rd place -- during her short stint.

lol. NO she didn't.

It doesn't get much bigger when you click on it, but I can tell that the ATWT portion has to do with the Doug Cummings storyline, so this narrows it down to early 1986.

Found it, the Feb. 8, 1986, issue of TV Guide.

Yeah, I don't know why it couldn't be made much bigger, but great that you found it! Interesting. Thanks!! I liked that s/l.

I'm only really familiar with the Marland years so when we reach September 1985 through the rest of the 1980s I'll be sure to have some for you

Would you happen to know Anthony Herrera debut? I've seen it online as February 1, 1980.

I don't recall. I remember the years and some months of what happened on ATWT but not exact dates. For example Whit murder....

She claimed so in an email to Eddie Drueding on the Another World Home Page, and Eddie shared the email on the site back in January 2006. I always doubted her claim. In the same email, she also claimed that Guiding Light continued to use her bible for nine months after she was fired and credited her as head writer during that period. She was defintely removed from the credits by late February/early March 1983.
