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.

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?

DAYS

1/7/91-1/11/91: Adrienne and Justin made arrangements to move to Dallas after he decided to accept a job there. Roman realized Carrie needs a woman's influence in her life. Jennifer went to meet a mystery man who phoned and said he had information on Nick's murder, but the man split when he saw Frankie with Jennifer. Bo rushed Carly to the hospital after she was stabbed in the abdomen while Bo was struggling with the thug who attacked her. When Brian quizzed April about her whereabouts at the time of Emilio's death, Johnny lied he had been with April the entire evening. Brian broke a date with his fiancee to spend time with Melissa. Alice experienced dizzy spells but didn't tell anyone. Miss Peach returned in hopes of convincing Shane to accept a new ISA case. Jack rejected Jennifer's apology after she slapped him and called him a rapist. Jennifer couldn't bring herself to tell Jack about her rape.

 

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.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
