LOVING pilot June 26,1983

The 2 hour pilot that aired on ABC in primetime that launched the 1983-95 daytime soap opera "Loving"

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

❤ How l loved Loving, Corinth, Pennsylvania. I watched from 83-95 and even when it morphed into the City for 2 more years. I adored the Alden mansion, especially the cat waik across the 2 story living room and that beautiful portrait of Cabot and Isabel. Remembering in coastal Mississippi 🐻🤠👋

I watched the entire run of Loving from June 26, 1983 to November 10, 1995. I was always amazed at the show's such high production values. It was so enjoyable to watch. I wished I could have lived in the Alden Mansion with that beautiful 2 story drawing room. The sets were so real. I loved the Donovan kitchen and also Kate's boarding house.

A Coincidence Indeed, A Murder Mystery Started Loving And Another Murder Mystery Ended Loving..... 12 Years Later

[@michaelguerrieri3815]

Irony.

[@michaelguerrieri3486]

Super irony.

[@fergotten]

I got hooked at the end. I was only a Days fan but got super into that murder mystery! It was so well done, even the special intros.

[@mikemontgomery7857]

And they should have linked Gweneth to Amelia.

[@mariehannan-mandel6740]

I remember watching this on prime time. It was heavily advertised. Those were the days.:)

[@thatguysstuff15]

I really think if they brought back the city in 2024 or 2025 it bring back soaps in a big way . Just like loving, the city was way ahead of its time ! Id love to see some old favorites from loving and the city reprise there roles !

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thanks for the Upload 👍 !! If only Douglas Martland And Augnus Nixon stayed with the show.. Loving could have gone way past 1995..!! Xd

[@Grimpy71]

I remember watching this when I was 12 ..saw it through my summer vacation

[@markelijio6012]

"Loving" was aired on ABC Daytime for a total of 13 successful seasons from June 26, 1983 to November 10, 1995. It won two Daytime Emmy Awards in 1988 and 1991. Distributed by Buena Vista Television with an excellent array of actors, writers, producers, directors and crew members who went on to enjoy healthy careers on their own.

My favorite actress Geraldine Page!! When she won for Best Actress in 1986 for The Trip To Bountiful(1985) F. Murray Abraham announced her as: The greatest actress in the English language!!

[@rogertemple7193]

I wonder why Geraldine Fitzgerald's character of Amelia was never brought back with another actress in the role in the later episodes.

[@wrestlinglegacies]

I have alway been intrigued with loving wish there were more episodes 1983-1985 period.

[@soapsplace]

LOVING it, thank you so much :)

[@mikemontgomery7857]

It would tied everything together if it turned out that Gweneth was Ameila's secret daughter with Neil Warren. The fact that they never mention Johnny and Amelia again was criminal.

[@stephaniereece5757]

Hey it’s Trevor Dillon from all my children

[@freemangriffin4953]

Chuck, would you know if anybody has uploaded Loving episodes onto a youtube channel? I would love to find the show is sequential order - I have watched the Loving Murders from the last 4 months or so of the show but I want to see more of the earlier episodes. I wish I had watched on a daily basis back then but there were so many shows on the air I couldn't watch all of them! (Not a problem these days, that's for sure!). Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@cfs89]

ABC Soap Memories has a big chunk of the 1993 & 94 episodes. kzbin.info/door/-igTr5_Au1541PksASNQKw

[@TheMaryam1891]

Lloyd Bŕidges wow

[@SuperPapadzul]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMaryam1891]

Laura Wright's first Soap, likely first acting gig.

[@sarahswomley2580]

She had a few episodes on AMC, then Loving, then The City, Guiding Light, then GH

[@tonyhassan2327]

What she have to do with anything she did came in 1991 stupid you ruined the episode

[@barnesCh430]

Debbi Morgan!

[@deloreswillis9224]

Yayyyyyyyyyuuu❤

[@BL3SSed-Bliss]

*"Carrie Mansfield" became **_"Dr._** Angie Hubbard"❣*

[@jonathanlukasovich8589]

Amelia Whitley was almost as crazy as Gwyneth Alden talk about starting the show and ending the show with serial killer plots that only a Great Soap opera can do!! Loving was/is one of the Best!!!

[@chuckbracken]

yep before Doug went on too write Atwt from 86-93!!

[@ChrisClash1]

Amazing ! Thanks a lot for sharing

[@christophermaulden733]

That was rather good . Shades of Maxwell , Epstein , Spence , and King . Had a good start with great acting , good writing , and beautiful sets . What happened to it ? Why did Loving change from this good beginning ? Network people ?

[@SergMilli]

That's not Carrie. That's Angie Hubbard. And that cop is not Mike. It's Trevor Dillon. lol

[@scootover7]

Would love to see this from beginning to the end, if I had the money I'd start a mostly classic channel, meaning the only new would be episodes from today's soaps of Young and the Restless, General Hospital, Bold and the Beautiful, and Days Of Our Lives, Loving would be one of the soaps I'd try to acquire. I heard that P&G doesn't even care about the soaps, it would be great to get as many episodes as I could if they haven't destroyed them, I did look at the list of soaps , and I still could air some great soaps not by Procter and Gamble, (Ryan's Hope, Loving, All My Children, One Life To Live, General Hospital, Young and the Restless, Capitol, Bold and the Beautiful, Port Charles, Days Of Our Lives, Santa Barbara, Passions, Sunset Beach, Another Life, Generations (if all of the tapes of that show haven't been destroyed) and probably some primetime soaps like Knots Landing, Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and any short lived soaps not aired by Procter and Gamble, also Sunday Nights for 5 hours, I'd like to air a special called Soap Stars on Game Shows,

[@aseagull15]

any chance anyone can find the episodes regina hall was in around 1993-1995?

[@TheMaryam1891]

yes Geraldine Page well rounded multi level actress.

[@TheMaryam1891]

Judith is a powerful "mean girl"

[@Mister_Listener]

Whoa. Lloyd Bridges? How did he do this AND Paper Dolls? Hehe. Geraldine Page? Patricia Kalember way before Kay O’Brien and Sisters, too. Never saw this before, lol.

[@drinkinglotsofsoda]

1:17:01 I forgot what a rotary phone sounded like unlike now

[@ChristopherIGomes]

LLOYD BRIDGES... HUH... HAD A PROMISING START... BUT AGNES NIXON... DROPPED THIS SHOW LIKE A BAD HABIT... LOL!!!

[@michaelguerrieri3486]

[@MRInvincible569]

All her energy went to AMC and to a lesser degree OLTL.

[@alessandrarosina]
