Thanks so much! HTTTrack is already having trouble saving the GH page to my computer so this is invaluable. Looks like 2023 and 2024 are not archived but haven't checked all pages. I'm very surprised that all the soaps haven't been archived in the wayback machine, so thank you for your invaluable efforts! May I ask what the process is? Do you use the wayback browser extension?

I just opened the links in the wayback machine to see if they have been archived. I saved it that way if it hasn't been saved. However, I sometimes used the extension. 

I finished up As The Word Turns yesterday, started on All My Children (just finished  up to 1996).

So, anything y'all think might be worth saving, you better try and get it while you can, particularly the canceled soaps. Doesn't look like the new website will house any older content beyond the four current soaps and the aforementioned four British soaps.

That psycho admin shouldn't have edited my post months ago.  I put a curse on that forum right then and there.

Joking, just joking. 

But yes, I hope the world's most toxic board  is FINALLY OVER!

Thanks for the info, Errol!

Wow... so fast... really sad. I have never visited the message board, so don't really care about that, but I have been visiting SC a lot for old episode recaps and character information. Now it will all be gone

I just finished One Life To Live.

I have either confirmed or saved the Daily Recaps for all the canceled soaps that was on the site (there were broken links that could not be saved but mostly from One Life to Live).  I just finished One Life To Live.

Update: Completed all of The Young & The Restless + The Bold & The Beautiful 90's Recaps. 

Another World

Sunset Beach

Passions

Port Charles

Guiding Light

As The World Turns

All My Children

One Life To Live

Interesting side notes:

*Passions was the only canceled soap that had all their daily recaps previous saved. 

*Guiding Light and As the World Turns seemed to had the least saved.

*Recaps from the 1990's were almost never saved from all the soaps.

Update: Days of Our Lives 90's  daily recaps have been either confirmed or saved

General Hospital 90's daily recaps have been all saved under their new web address. 

General Hospital is the only soap that has the new updated design as of today.  The yearly recap webpages have not been updated with the new design but the daily recaps pages have been updated with new design and have brand new webpage address.

This is causing a problem with the Internet Archived. Within Internet Archived, any daily recaps that were not previous saved with the old web address is currently not linking to the new web address making it appeared those recaps were not saved.

Unfortunately as of right now, the only way in the future to see the newly saved daily recaps within Internet Archive is changing the dates at the end of the web address. 

For example; 

For January 04, 1999 -

https://web.archive.org/web/20240807204513/https://www.soapcentral.com/general-hospital/general-hospital-weekly-recap-for-990104

For January 11, 1999 - https://web.archive.org/web/20240807204505/https://www.soapcentral.com/general-hospital/general-hospital-weekly-recap-for-990111

In other words, you might just want to use HTTTrack or saved pages that you want to keep.

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
