ATWT 1 10 96

[@stephenmarcus9601]

The last few years of World were a mess with Damien transformed into a radically new person. Same with Craig. All of the families evaporated down to a few members, and people like Kurt were MIA.

And meg. She went crazy towards end of show.

[@ccarpena05]

I hated the Lucy recast, I hated when John L played Craig, I hated Casey, then all those other random characters started showing up, I remember there was some sort of middle eastern girl towards the end, hated her too...

[@MiguelDante]

The show was definitely a shell of its former self in those last five years or so. So many core characters like Lisa, Nancy and Emma were hardly on the canvas at all, and lots of uninteresting storylines and characters that you couldn't relate to or care about shoved down the viewer's throats.

Loved Damian lily.

[@pjmoneybags587]

They were my favorite couple. I hated how they completely changed him into a bad guy later on and made it like he was always bad.

[@ozzielee9058]

Interesting year for the show...writer-wise. Stern & Black were the head writers. They're writing was pretty much panned. I found it to be semi entertaining but not keeping with character and history.

Remember as the world turns soap opera TV

[@trhurst72]

Looking for the episode before this one

[@WhatstheSizzle]

1995 and 96 were the OJ years & successfully killed most soaps.

[@Mickieshelton]

Not DOOL...Stefano was pure entertainment

[@marvinmoore2720]

Are you kidding All my children, Days of our lives , General Hospital, and The Young and the restless totally dominated the 90s , daytime was at its best back then , I don't know what you're talking

[@kellymccain3403]

@Marvin Moore........ She was speaking in terms of daytime TV ratings. She is correct ......during 1995 & 96 the OJ trial was "killing" most soaps and game shows because the trial was drawing so many daytime viewers to the cable news channels. And sometimes the major TV networks would interrupt the soaps to show the OJ trial. This went on for months. She did not mean they were "successfully killed" permanently. She was speaking of that 2-year period. She is exactly right.

I love very much the music scenes

[@Mickieshelton]

The Lily Snider story is crazy..lol. Got no job, always whining, just gets up to get banged and complain mostly. Unbelievable.

[@rosettachaney8088]

Was Kirk involved in the plane crash

[@mikeyb2049]

Sadly, one of the worst years for the show.

[@JamesBrady-qc6zy]

Until 1997 was a recovery year for as the world turns because of James stenbeck returns to terrorized oakdale.

1996 was a horrible year for ATWT. The show picked up again in 97 with the return of James but in 96..the writer was as bad as ever.

[@Mickieshelton]

Horrible for them.but great for Days...Stefano and Kristen were on a roll. James popped back up in 97 and 98 and Jack was undercover. The whole saga with David Stenbeck was hilarious..especially after he did the plastic surgery, had sex with Julia, and changed her up.

@@Mickieshelton Another World was really great around this time as well im watching AW right now

[@Mickieshelton]

@@dontreldontrel416 another world had grant, right? He was the character that stood out for a minute..

[@dontreldontrel416]

@@Mickieshelton yea Grant was A evil villain im actually around June like i think I didn't start watching another till the last theme opening is what really got me hooked but the stories played out really well.

[@dontreldontrel416]

@@Mickieshelton I just saw that AMC won best daytime writing. AW was Lit tho. The theme a lone was by far one best. Grant Cindy were epic. Vicky and Jake was okay but they was overkill. But still played well. Cass and and anyone he was with. AW was amazing, and NBC didn't realize how sensitive AW was. But Days of our lives was Lit t around that time.

ugh..the first thing on the episode is the person I dislike the most. Ever. ;(
