What time is it on? There are some disappointed fans because the opening to ATWT is not included in some of the episodes.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful, I loved it and can tell you Roger loved the early eighties ATWT, with Margo & Tom, Barbara & Gunther, McColls. I agree with you in the ending. It felt more like ATWT with the characters again but there was no "gathering" as ATWT always did as a community. Stewarts were sidelined even more by Marland and was a mistake on his part. The decline of the Stewarts started after Dan died and it hurt ATWT. But he did keep the focus on Hughes. Now I know you said you checked out in mid-nineties but it wasn't their best period but had some bright spots with Lisa's lawsuit, the emerges of Carly, Roseanna & Mike, Kim's heart condition but Hogan did turn around ATWT in the early '00s when Hogan was good.
ReplyDeletegot my set yesterday. the tom and margo wedding was one i always remembered as a favorite. it was wonderful to see again. i also watched steve and betsy's wedding. the best part for me was watching the character of maggie crawford. she was always one of my favorites. it was great seeing david and ellen stewarts, nothing like visisiting with old friends again.
