These were the years when older folks had a real place in the soaps...

It’s ironic that Kathryn Hays and Patricia Bruder are under 50 here, and soaps like Y&R and GH have actors like Laura Wright, Peter Bergman, Maurice Bernard and Steve Burton who are 50 and over. Today’s soap actors seem to redefine what it means to be a “certain age”.

The Douglas Marland era in the mid-late 80s was the best in my history with ATWT, which started in the 70s watching as a kid in the summers with my Mom and ended with the show's ending. It is so unfortunate this once great show ended. There was something magical during the Marland era. He did it on GL, which I also watched at the time, and then again at ATWT. He could weave and blend storylines and characters, both old and new, like no one. He was a true master of the genre.

A young Marland was at The Doctors on NBC and General Hospital on ABC prior to that where he paired Luke and Laura. The Doctors was praised by the critics and won daytime Emmy's on his watch I believe. NBC was crazy for letting him go.

Thank you so much for letting us see this. I miss when soaps let us see all these slow moments of grief and mourning and loss. Wonderful work from Henderson Forsythe and Pat Bruder (such underrated actors), and I love the long scene with Bob and Kim. I can see why even when they weren't together, she felt like he was her best friend. Don Hastings and Kathryn Hays shine - Hays is so moving and restrained.

At this point I had been watching ATWT for exactly a year -- when I started college in 1978. The stories, the families, the characters, the actors, even the title package back then. It was total perfection. I followed 'her' for over 20 years day by day mostly due to VCR'S. I simply will never forget it.....

they do short scenes so they can get through them fast without a bunch of takes and can move on to the next scene. Actors on youtube interviews lately because they have time from the pandemic have said they may shoot up to 6 episodes of their scenes in 1 day. That way they can not have to teardown sets and set up others so much and can let the editors worry about getting all the right scenes together.

How sad that in just 3 months time, this show would begin it's first downward spiral. Fortunately Marland would come along in 1985 and a new golden era would begin until his death, and then Goutman and the final nail in the coffin. At least we have these great memories for 1979. Thanks!

Yes, I remember; but one thing I have always felt, is that the Dobsons never worked the same magic at ATWT as they did with GL. ATWT didn't regain footing until Susie Bedsow Horgan and Cynthia Benjamin (I believe) put Bob and Kim together and had them marry, just prior to Marland rejoining in 85.
