The fall of 1981 was around the time when ABC Daytime ruled the world, so we probably could have gotten a Battle of the Network Daytime Stars.
Hosts: Howard Cosell and Joan Lunden (or Joan and Dick Clark)
ABC team: Captain Richard Dawson (alternate: David Hartman), followed by two of either Tony, Genie, Jackie, or Rick Springfield from GH, then Susan and Mark LaMura (and his fabulous caboose) from AMC, Jacqueline Courtney and Robert S. Woods from OLTL (Jacqui's there since I couldn't fit Denise Alexander in), and either Randall Edwards from RH or Lori Loughlin from Edge.
CBS team: Captain Bob Barker, followed by Dian Parkinson of TPIR, David Hasselhoff (alternates: Doug Davidson or Terry Lester) and Melody Thomas from Y&R, Justin Deas and Margaret Colin from ATWT, Sherry Mathis from SFT, and John Wesley Shipp from GL
NBC team: Captain Chuck Woolery (alternate: Regis Philbin, who had a short-lived show on the network that year), followed by Kim Zimmer of The Doctors, the Hayes, Gregg Marx, and either Deidre or Philece Sampler, all representing DOOL, Christopher Rich and Nancy Frangione representing AW, and Jim Poyner (alternate: Randy Hamilton) and Caryn Richman representing Texas.
