Summers and other school breaks. My mom kept me up to date. Then when I graduated (I started college later) I lived just a few blocks from work, so could come home for lunch to watch when I wanted.  Eventually bought a radio that played tv stations and could listen that way until vcrs were affordable.  The things we soap viewers had to go through to watch our shows, lol.

FROM THE VAULT: 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK: MAGGIE TELLS MICKEY WHAT HAPPENED TO HER PARENTS...
 
Here's a look back at Maggie telling Mickey what happened to her parents. It was the third episode Suzanne Rogers appeared in, Episode # 1951, and aired on August 27, 1973.

MAGGIE: I was brought up to believe that's what life is all about...people caring about people.
MICKEY: You must have had very special parents.
MAGGIE (nodding): Gentle, soft-spoken, church-going, heart-warming. Never an unkind word about anyone. They never turned down a stranger.
MICKEY: As you didn't.
MAGGIE: You have them to thank.
MICKEY: I take it they're dead.
MAGGIE: Yes, nine years ago. We were on our way into town, the three of us, in our pickup. It was my birthday. I was seventeen. I'd been invited to a dance that night. Dad said he wanted to buy me a dress, the prettiest one we could find. It was halfway between here and town...a crossroad...we were hit broadside by a semi. They were both killed instantly.
MICKEY (referring to her crutches): Then you were left with those?
MAGGIE (pause): I thought about selling the farm, but when I asked myself...to go where? To do what? Close myself off from the world and feel sorry for myself? (pause, then warmly referring to her crutches) Today they're the two best friends I have. I wouldn't go anywhere without them. Thanks to them I can do everything I ever did, it just takes a little longer, but I have time.
MICKEY (beat, he looks at her): Maggie, I can't tell you what an inspiration it's been to meet you.

    • Any fan of RuPaul would dispute calling any of these examples “drag”. A costume?, A disguise?, A lame attempt at humor? -- yes -- Drag? -- nope
    • No asterisk. I meant that the circumstances during the first year were in her favor.
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Are you suggesting that her success at GL should have an asterisk next to it because she was smart enough to exploit a weakness in the marketplace to gain ratings?  Note: Try not to take this personally—I’m not accusing anyone of being consciously misogynistic. I’m simply proposing that the origins of certain ideas about Ms. Phelps—such as claims that she was unprepared or a poor manager of her writing staff—may be rooted in misogyny. Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, it's worth reconsidering those opinions. At the very least, imagine being one of the few women in the room while a male network executive tries to decide what women want to watch during the day. That context has certainly led me to reassess many of my own long-held views.
    • Through 78 and 79 under Marland and Pat Falken smith GH was still heavily hospital based with a mix of storylines. The Doctors would have been fine had they followed that template. Once GH went with Ice Princess all bets were off.Who knows how much TD would have copied that direction? And OLTL, DOOL went in that direction quite heavily while other shows dabbled in far out stories. The thing is that TD was well set up for an expansion.

    • Aaron Spelling still had clout with ABC in Fall 1984, as I think they knew he was going to pull out all the stops for Dynasty to get to #1, which he did. That's probably why ABC kept Hotel as Dynasty lead out. Fall 1985 with the sale to Capital Cities and Brandon Stoddard arrival, Aaron Spelling would lose his clout with ABC.
    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
