The acting during this period was STRONG. These two we're at their apex in regards to pure energy. The Soaps Operas went down towards the mid to late 1990s when they tried to get younger and some foolish story plots took over
from what i heard on Dr. John he had dirty dealings reminds me of Victor Newman he was bad in his heyday Eric & Larry are outstanding to 2 seperated powerful soaps
I'm assuming ATWT was still the #1 rated soap at this time. I think Young & Restless was nipping at its heels for the spot, though. I always thought Guiding Light was the best CBS soap but, ATWT was right up there, too. Thanks for the upload.
@@Cartooncountdown 7:15 is the beginning of it. It's a short scene. When I watch the episodes from 79, you can really see how the show shifted from family oriented drama to this type of show. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Yes no Steinbecks either. John Dixon was the central villain kept ATWT fans tining in because you never knew what he was going to do next. John was so smart his had a full bag of tricks up his sleeve. A surprise package for everyone.

This is the best episode evah! John is so devious!! And Stenbeck is sinister.
I loved marguet Colin as Margo
John Dixon was the only one that could beat James at his own game.
indeed the early years of ATWT i tuned in 1987 of December missed a lot

Except John Dixon evolved. The narcissistic mumbling mustache never has, and likely never will.
I loved this tom and Margo
Great scene when John whips out that gun. And Barbara’s “brother” got very close to copping a feel there at the beginning when he hugged her lol.
Dr. John Dixon was awesome here
John was too smart. James could never outsmart John.
32:00 Peter Reckell pre Bo Brady.❤❤

No. This was 1981..General Hospital, All My Children, One Life To Live were the #1,2,3 soaps
@@Dahverin-kk4on Interesting. Thx for the info.
For me As the world turns is the BEST soap opera af all.
@@Dahverin-kk4on Thx for the info!
@@simonepunzo4890The Young and the restless is the best soap opera.
aww the infamous John Dixon
Yeah..Then it switched to James for some reason !! XD
@@MrCraigblaze that's right, 💯 👌 🔥 ❤ 😍 🙌 thank 😊 🙏 👏 😄 😀 ♥ you.
Colleen Zenk and Gary Hudson
early stage of James turning bad is forming won't be long till 1983
I loved how John outwitted “Jimmy” Stenbeck.
30:57 whoa Justin Deas
I loved when the little guy kidnapped Margo and tom
Lenore Grayson l think that was his name...memory is hazy on the name but l do remember the adventure he took Tom and Margo on
📺Bernard Ignatius Grayson, aka Mr. Big
I loved her n China beach
Barbara Ryan and her short hair...😂😂 Is that Dana Delaney with Jhon Dixon ?? Gary Hudson as Rick Ryan ??
That initial scene where Bob finds out John can see was excellent acting.
Where is That's scene

And here we have John pulling an early Blake Carrington (Dynasty) and an early Alison Parker (Melrose Place).
Dana Delany
This couldn't have aired on July 5, 1981, since that was on a Sunday. It would have to have aired either Friday, July 3 or Monday, July 6, 1981.
I can’t believe the actor playing John was only in his early 40s. He looked 60
Love him. Great actor
This was 4 months before the world turns on and on.

Wow, John Dixon! I've been hoping that the new soap opera is based on Jessica Griffin and they are going to bring back some of the old characters.
Dr Yee would be on GH during the Asian quarter story
Thanks for the upload 👍 !! James Stenbeck nasty side just came out..!! Xd
You're welcome, and thanks 😊 ☺ 🙏 😘 🙂 😀 for that comment 😀 😊 😄 👍 ☺ 😉 about him.
This is great . John faking his blindness with James. Long term storylines here James and John, Margo and Barbara. Played out for decades.
How long did he pretend to be blind? When he pulled that gun out of the sofa, I'm thinking how is John going to shoot a gun when he's blind. 🤣
My favorite ATWT time was 1975 through 1979. Not a Snyder, Andropoulus, or Montgomery in sight.
Although the 80's made atwt better.
Amen to that one!

@@tommyparkerparker although he got surpassed in the 80's by james stenbeck.
@@jmjfanss Whenever James and John butted heads, John would somehow outsmart him.
James Stenbeck VS Roger Thorpe. what u think??
Barbara is so pretty
The sister of Kim Delaney
Jhon Dixon was on this show for years
