Yeah Don McLaughlin died not long after this and it is very clear that he was not all with it during this clip. He only says a couple lines and throughout the song he just stands there with his mouth open. It's a shame such a great actor had to be like this in one of his final performances.
ATWT had such a sparkling future at this time, everything was in place. Seeing this beautiful tribute to their two most beloved cast members and such respect for the show's history makes me so emotional, for what we have lost, for what daytime has lost. At least we have our memories.
The 3oth and 40th anniversary shows were great because they showed old clips that involved family. The 50th anniversary show was a big disappointment to me. Helen Wagner(Nancy Hughes) deserved a more fitting tribute. The show has a rich history with clips of her 51 years and Bob and Lisa who are in their 47th year.
Chris was always great to Nancy I heard. But sadly in 1986, Chris became very ill and died in his sleep in Bob and Kim's apartment, I heard. But 50 years is good!
The 30th anniversary show celebrating Nancy and Chris' wedding anniversary was the best. The 40th anniversary show was good. The 50th anniversary show was a letdown. They could have done more to commemorate Helen Wagner's 50 years in that role.
I hope the final episode is as great and historic as this episode! May the final be a tribute to Nancy.

Episodes such as this prove why ATWT was the greatest soap of all time. Damn CBS and P&G for running it into the ground.

That was one of the most classic episodes of ATWT, celebrating the rich history of the Hughes and their families. :)

Oh to have ATWT back with Doug Marland as headwriter. Thank you so much for a beautiful memory of what this show was and can no longer be!
