I will say you hit the nail on the head with this collection. Everyone of these characters are the ones I consider the "stars" and backbone of ATWT. I could not come up with an additional one that I would have added.

Good job!

I will miss "those Stewart girls" and Babs the most!

Thank you! ATWT has been blessed to have so many actors stay for so long, or leave and come back to the roles we know and love, or love to hate, them in, and I knew when I started planning my tribute video series that the vets would get their own video. After a couple of months of planning and editing, this is the result. And ICAM that these are the actors and characters that are the the real stars and the backbone of ATWT. I thank them all for the decades of memories.

Wonderful tribute to the vets.

There are so many ways I want this show to end and I know the writers will screw it al up!

[FebWriter]

Thank you! I'm hoping they don't screw it up TOO badly.

Thank you for this lovely video. I so miss ATWT. For many years, I taped it and watched it with a snack when I came home from a day of teaching. It was my tool for relaxation. I remember watching it as a young teenager too. Why did they think we needed another talk show? I'll never watch it. I miss these veteran actors. One of the reasons for cancellation was they said women didn't stay home anymore and watch soaps, so ratings were down. What about the thousands of us who recorded?

[irmhsva]

@Debbie01yates yeah it could be just you, because i am a younger viewer, age 21 and i watched ATWT for the past 11 years all the way to the end and I will miss it dearly. It truly was the best soap to me. Whenever Y&R pissed me off w/ storylines which was all the time(I don't know about those writers sometimes) but I always had ATWT. Yeah I hated it when we didn't see Bob/Kim/Susan and alot of the other veterans towards like the last 5 years of the show but I still loved it.

[vinster7997]

as bad as atwt got,at least in the end they were able to hold on to alot of there vets...unlike my fav soap GL:(

[TheCheyannepretty]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

[shengchenfan]

I'm going to miss all of them.God bless them all.RIP Nancy Hughes,RIP Benjamin

[onthegogyrl]

Wow, the women of ATWT aged gracefully, they all still look fantistic!!!!

[misspaddylee]

Nicely done. Loved seeing Andy & Kim.

I thought the song was kinda "meh", but not too irritating.

[brobbinsroost]

I have watched ATWT for about 50 years. It will be very hard to be without it. For years, I taped it and watched it, after a hard day of teaching, and it was my tool for relaxing. Thank you for this tribute; I only hope they don't replace ASWT with yet another reality or game show. I probably won't start watching another soap. RIP As The World Turns!

[greysfan1992]

This tribute was beautifully done and I loved how you closed out with Nancy. I'm going to miss this show and the actors/actresses so much.
