And many of the New York soaps had incredible supporting actors that added so much to the shows. I don't know if many of them would get hired these days (or if the writers would take the time to tell stories like that).Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-73420849566479203412013-10-16T17:12:33.092-04:002013-10-16T17:12:33.092-04:00I just watched the greatest scene from a classic e...I just watched the greatest scene from a classic episode of AW. Iris couldn't sleep and she didn't want to wake Brian Bancroft (her husband at the time). So, she marched into Louise's bedroom wakes her up and makes her listen to stories about Iris's fears that evolved while she was in boarding school. I always enjoyed the interactions between Louise and Iris. I loved that Louise wore her uniform (with hat) all day; unlike Esther on Y&R who changed occasionally. I loved that Louise was allowed to talk back to Iris. Finally, I tear up every time I watch the scenes when Louise said goodbye to Iris on Texas. Dennis, Mac, Brian, Elliott and even Alex never loved Iris unconditionally as Louise. It is a shame that she never returned to Bay City, she would have been a wonderful foil for Felicia or a huge help to Donna.Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259119837902601841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-85201233552854883682013-10-16T17:10:59.761-04:002013-10-16T17:10:59.761-04:00When Jed Allan debuted on THE BAY web series, he w...When Jed Allan debuted on THE BAY web series, he walked into a house and greeted his daughter while holding the mail. :) I loved that little nod to soap history.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-84644625999969395692013-10-16T17:07:09.399-04:002013-10-16T17:07:09.399-04:00I wonder how Dr. Neil Curtis's rounds are goin...I wonder how Dr. Neil Curtis's rounds are going?

There isn't a single writer listed, or cast member for that matter. Not 100% sure if the show originally aired like this but there aren't any episodes that show Doug Marland in the credits during his brief late 1979 run. The next writers we see are the Dobsons and their whole new team. I was hoping to pinpoint the exact 1979 episodes Marland wrote but no such luck.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-55066195377868139362013-10-16T14:19:20.487-04:002013-10-16T14:19:20.487-04:00Enjoying the episodes of AS THE WORLD TURNS.

I would enjoy seeing closing credits. I like knowing who wrote what.
