  1. I love you guys, watching my soaps again even when its just one episode. P&G needs put ATWT, AW, & GL on RTV, RetroTV because it would fit right in with their programming.

  2. I have quick question? Betty Rea worked for P&G for 30 years as casting director and worked on all of P&G's soaps but her main soap had always been GL, just look at the talent GL produced under her "guiding" hand. My question is about her asst. for many years was Jimmy Bohr....He went on to be a casting director on his own at AW, I believe..am I correct? Because if that was him boy did he find talent himself. He was taught by the best casting director ever..Betty Rea.
