Thanks for posting these classic clips.

I do have a question though, this era of ATWT was way before I started watching the show (I was only 4). Could someone please feel me in on who this Laura character is? Was she a villian? A major character back in the 80s? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

@roscolane Laura was a troubled woman with psychological issues who briefly worked for the Hughes family. Her brother Beau was dating John's niece Pam for a while.

This was during the writers' strike, right?

[Oakdalian]

Yes.

Hal is Adam's bio father right?

[Oakdalian]

Correct.

As much as I loved Hal and Barbara the to fancy wedding, Margo's dialogue, etc. all lays out why their marriages failed. They loved each other so much but they were to different to ever last. I'm glad through it all they remained friends.

Barbara's one true love... So sweet.

So true! It's amazing to see soaps actually have budget and use them!

Babs was beautiful back then

Thanks. I'd heard this was sort of iffy times storywise, but aside from the somewhat flat babysitter story, it's pretty good.
