Members Alan Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 (edited) I made a new topic for these since they address all of the CBS soaps, with some coverage of ABC and NBC soaps. I am slowly but surely scanning and archiving all of my old issues of CBS Soaps in Depth. You can see the embedded issues below. As you browse them I suggest clicking "one page view."

Members DRW50 Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 (edited) Thanks. That Lauralee cover is a horrible fashion flashback. Trying to remember if they had many ATWT or GL covers. Likely not. I remember SOD was asked why they didn't have more GL covers and the answer was that they did not sell.

Members Alan Posted January 15 Author Members Share Posted January 15 They did not do a lot of ATWT or GL covers but we will get to some eventually. Even a B&B cover was a rarity compared to the Y&R covers. Eric Braeden must have been a big seller because he was on the cover constantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 Thanks. I used to roll my eyes at the Victor adoration from the show after Bill Bell pulled back, but I do see now just how enduring his appeal is to a lot of people. Even now the only time I hear some people talk about Y&R is if it's to talk about Victor, as shown again with the devastating wildfires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 I had a saved a few SID covers when they did. Interestingly they did one for the Jessica/Marshall/Bonnie mess, as disgusting as that story was!

Members DRW50 Posted January 16 Members Share Posted January 16 Thanks. That whole story did get a lot of attention. I found Marshall to be repulsive but he did have a fan base, which made the rapid write out of him all the stranger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 16 Members Share Posted January 16 (edited) You’re welcome. Yeah despite the messiness of that along with the stories ATWT for better or for wise definitely got a lot of attention during that time and had ratings gains at a time when other soaps really faltered. I recall it spent much of summer and fall of 2003 sometimes as high as #3 in the weekly ratings. Here’s a few more ATWT & GL covers, all complete with the tawdry/trashy “change forever!” line they used on everything LOL Please register in order to view this content Edited January 16 by soapfan770 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 16 Members Share Posted January 16 Thanks @soapfan770 ! I am laughing at that wig on Reva for the time travel photo. I can't imagine Kim being thrilled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Posted January 16 Author Members Share Posted January 16 That reminds me, Lauralee Bell was covered exhaustively by SID back in the day, even when she wasn't on the show. It always puzzled me since Cricket never seemed that popular among fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yrfan1983 Posted January 17 Members Share Posted January 17 Thank you @Alan! There's lots of great nuggets in these mags, like Doug Davidson saying that Anthony Edwards played Patty's boyfriend Jeff on YR for a few eps in spring '81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted January 19 Members Share Posted January 19 SOD got to the point for a while where subscribers got a different cover. That's how I got a Jack/Carly cover once. Can't blame ATWT/GL fans for not buying a mag that for years had barely covered their shows anyway. You'd get half a page combined for ATWT/GL, meanwhile there'd be three interviews with DAYS stars about their latest burp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
