I am new to the board and have enjoyed reading discussions here. I was an avid ATWT/GL viewer, on and off, from 1986-1995. I've revisited many of the 1986-1993 episodes on YouTube. I love repeat viewing of the Marland years. His sense of intertwining story and building the Oakdale community is unparalleled. One thing that struck me during a recent 1992 rewatch is the MAMMOTH number of characters featured throughout the year. This is a list of contract/recurring characters during my rewatch...it must be a record for Marland's tenure and possibly all of daytime! Anyone else I may have missed?

Welcome to the board @Robert H Always nice to see more GL and ATWT fans, especially of those years (I nearly stopped in 1995 myself).

That sounds about right.

Welcome to the board! Who were your favorite GL characters and/or storylines?
