It’d be interesting to see what storylines were occurring on the soaps at that time in 1991. Also highlights just what a hole AMCs cancellation left on the soap landscape. By all rights it should still be on air with the other four remaining.

In hindsignt all of them could still be on. The ratings the soaps were cancelled on are considered decent now

P&G likely had the "juice" to keep at least, a few of their soaps on the air but we pretty much know why they failed to do so.

 

Thinking about what storylines were airing in January 1991, hey @Soapsuds
when did Andy drive drunk and hit Lien with his car by accident? Do you remember when that happened? I think it was 1991, but what month?

AW

JANUARY 7-11, 1991
The judge briefly sent Cass to jail on contempt charges after he lied that he had Vicky impersonate Marley to prove to the court the two could be mistaken for each other. Marley admitted to Michael that she ran away and that is why Vicky was impersonating her. Marley also told Michael she is afraid Vicky shot Jake after Marley admitted Jake's attack to her. After being hospitalized for exhaustion, Vicky was convinced Jake had come into her room and tried to smother her. Ryan and Jamie prevented Vicky from disconnecting Jake's life-support system to see if he was really in a coma. Vicky saw a mystery woman exit Jake's hospital room. Amanda was furious when Sam accused her of interfering in his relationship with Olivia. Jenna is getting closer to Matthew, but she and Felicia haven't come to terms yet.

Then the Bob/Susan affair must have started with a quickness soon after, as the affair was revealed in May!

I had wondered whether maybe Andy had been going to therapy for a few months, maybe gradually causing a rift between Bob and Kim but I see that the timeline was much more condensed.

Thanks.

The major stories for that week in January 1991 were the gaslighting of Lily and Angel overdosing on pills. All due to Angel's dad.

 

Andy was in therapy when Bob slept with Susan. The episode is on YouTube where Kim tells Andy in therapy and he blames himself for Bob cheating.

90s ATWT is not as clear for me as mid to late 80s, which still seems vivid in my memory.

I believe that week in 1991 for B&B was Eric & Brooke’s splashy wedding.

That's because it was MUCH better.
