Members watson71 Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 The week of 12/5/83, AW passes Capitol for the first time in the ratings. This was the aftermath of Jennifer Thatcher getting killed in a car crash and the revelation that Kevin Thatcher is Sally Frame’s son. Carl Hutchins will arrive in Bay City for the first time during Christmas week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 28, 2023 Members Share Posted August 28, 2023 The 1980s was the decade of the villain. So many shows introduced their show-defining villains that decade. 1980: James Stenbeck (As the World Turns), Victor Newman (Y&R) 1982: Stefano DiMera (Days) 1983: Adam Chandler (All My Children), Carl Hutchins (Another World) 1985: Victor Kiriakis (Days) If any are missing, please feel free to add to the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 28, 2023 Members Share Posted August 28, 2023 This weekend some fans began talking about when AW and Y&R were on in their part of the woods. So I asked everyone & jotted the odd ones down. Most people were as expected. This was the first I'd heard of any US outlet showing AW in the morning. AW: Duluth 10 am, NYC 3 pm, Other MN 11 am, San Francisco 11 am Pacific time AW in Canada: Atlantic 4 pm, Nova Scotia 3 pm with Texas after it, NB 3 pm, CTV 2 pm, BC 1 pm Y&R: MN (not Duluth) 11 am (AW & Y&R were up against each other.), PA (Allentown & Wilkes-Barre) 11:30 eastern Y&R in Canada: Calgary independent channel 4 pm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted August 28, 2023 Members Share Posted August 28, 2023 What time period are you referring to that AW was on at 3pm in NYC? Since returning to its hour long episodes in the 80s, it was on at 2pm in NYC. There was some interesting scheduling on CBS 2 NY in 1979, Love of Life was on at noon, followed by SFT 12:30pm, YR at 1pm, ATWT 1:30pm, GL 2:30pm. On NBC 4 NY, Texas started off at its intended 3pm timeslot, but eventually was moved to 11am, followed by the standard NBC lineup at the time Doctors 12pm, SFT 12:30pm, Days 1pm, AW 2pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 28, 2023 Members Share Posted August 28, 2023 I wondered about that. No period of years or era was mentioned. Perhaps they simply misremembered. With message boards, some fans have incredibly accurate memories but some is not all. Most people had the standard lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted August 28, 2023 Members Share Posted August 28, 2023 I mean it was on at 3pm in the 70s, but that was pretty standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Franko Posted August 29, 2023 Members Share Posted August 29, 2023 I want to say that Monday, Dec. 26, was the day that Greg stopped Jenny and Tony's wedding. Sometime that week, Liza spilled the beans to Jenny about Tad having slept with her and Marian. Luke & Laura left Port Charles together on Tuesday, Dec. 27. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
