So interesting. I love hearing how those classic storylines were developed. There was no better soap opera in the 80s than ATWT. Thanks, Alan!
Happy you enjoyed it, Abe. Thank you for sharing.
This was one of my favorite Locher Rooms. I was a kid watching ATWT during the Douglas Marland/Lawrence Caso era and remember pretty much all or most of the characters and storylines well.
So happy to hear that, Frank. Thank you.
Bob and Kim, were the Anchors of ATWT, 💞💞I just loved them!! and all the other actors...Miss that show, it was Part of my day!! and when I worked I would tape it!! Laurence Caso, did a Great Job! will always miss the show.....
Agreed all around
Right on, Maryann!
You are amazing, Alan. Thank you for mentioning my name and sharing my memory. Your interview with Laurence Caso is filled with heart, and you opened the door for Mr. Caso to share such fascinating details. You are preserving the voices, memories and perspectives of the artists who have inspired us. I’m so grateful to you for this work!
I'm so glad you heard the shout out, Amy. Thank you for sharing that important tidbit with me. Thank you!!!
What a great interview Alan, one of your best! He and Doug Marland made magic on ATWT, what an incredible team! The storylines and talented actors that were memtioned brought back great memories. To hear him talk about the passing Michael Morrison and Doug a week apart from each other was just so sad, I remember that. Mr. Laurence Caso thanks for your tenure at ATWT at a time that just was incredible! Thank you Alan and Mr. Caso for this wonderful! I loved ATWT and I still miss it to this day!
I'm thrilled to hear this, Dee. Thank you.
My favorite EP of ATWT
👍😍👍
I was so impressed by this interview! Laurence Caso is such an intelligent, thoughtful, engaging and detailed storyteller. His insights are the things fans live for! Meanwhile, Alan, your passion and love for ATWT and the genre is palpable. You hit every note I could conceive of. Your mutual, easy and natural conversational rapport with Mr. Caso is remarkable. Thank you for yet another gift, Alan. 🙏🙏🙏 Excellent work as always.
Thank you, Terrence for your sweet words. I really am glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Awww..Kim & Bob! Love it! My favorites.
💛💛💛
Watching this now and love this. ATWT was great when he was EP and Doug was head writer. Thank you for this!
You're so welcome, Mikey. Thank you for watching.
I love when you have Executive Producers on your show. Congratulations on the success of The Locher Room. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the well wishes. Have a great Wednesday!
As the song goes, I could’ve danced all night. I could’ve listened day and night. He was sensational what a story teller so lovely, his accounts and his career. What a wonderful interview.
Love this so much, Benjamin. He was one of my faves. What stories and what memories.
Yes one of mine too he was the ep the first time I watched atwt in 1992 good luck benjamin with your watching clips of coleen as Barbara but full episodes is better and I have been watching quite a bit of guiding light too lately and remembering certain things like the charecter of Nadine and not liking Nadine especially for what she did to Billy and vanassa.
until Justin deas came on the show but by 1994 she was one of my favorite charecters. Or I forgot about Samantha marler and that she was Philips sister or half sister and Morgan Englund as dylan and those characters were dating and now I know how she got paralyzed it was because she was in the car with Reva but I. Magic soap opera fashion somehow ended up ejected from revas car right before it went off the cliff. But now I know what period I first watched guiding light so it must have been September of 1990. Because that's when Phillip was missing and somewhere with India. Faking his death or something.
Anyway good luck watching more as the world turns and Colleen I have loved for years.
Fascinating man, fascinating career, fascinating interview. Thanks!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Love, love, love, love this Alan! Thank you. #ATWT68

I loved this one. All the behind-the-scenes to me is so fascinating. And of the Snyders (though I loved them all), Ellie was my fave! Really fun and insightful. And the Parker Posey story 😂 Another great one in the can, my friend. Well done!
Thank you, Ron! Enjoy your week off.
This is the man who was the cause of all my romance woes during being a teen! Lol
Love that!
#ATWT68 so loved and so missed!
Amen to that, Bruce!
Such a fascinating interview. Love these behind the scenes stories he shared. What a talent he is in what he did and still does. So many accomplishments. I remember that the show was so great under his tenure that I remember I felt so secure as a fan of ATWT seeing his name as executive producer in the closing credits. I only knew his name as the EP but i just felt under his leadership this beloved show would always shine.
Thank you for the note and for watching.
Another great episode. ATWT was such a great show during his tenure. My VCR was running everyday!
😍
Amazing interview rich with Oakdale back stories! What an illustrious career Laurence Caso had. His success is based on authenticity, a truly special quality!
So happy you enjoyed it, Wendy!
Alan such a great interview I forgot to ask you to talk with laurance about the hank Elliot storyline. But nice to know laurance was going to leave anyway but at the end of the day I think laurance caso would be the perfect ep of production if we could get aw atwt and gl rebooted also Alan the discussion of Doug marland coming back to p and g because he left guiding light because Gail kobe tried to cross him and pissed him off and the same thing happened with loving and ABC but interesting to discover it laurance caso while working foe CBS that convinced p and g to rehire Douglas and send him to as the world turns and of course harding Lemay did a brilliant job transitioning the show for douglas to take over as headwriter. And harding was Doug Marlands friend and mentor.
👍🧡🧡👍
Coastal Mississippi greetings,Very interesting and entertaining interview . Thank you Alan. See you in the next Locher Room 😊
Thank you, Scott. Glad you enjoyed it.
Omg this was great.All the time I thought she was saying at the Emmys yessss ABC..but it was easy cheesy lmao
🤣🤣🤣
He mentioned Pam Long on GL, it would be great if you could talk to her some day.
I would love nothing more.
Just read that “The Talk” has been cancelled after 15 seasons. Probably to make way for the new soap The Gates. I’ve been waiting for this karma for 15 years. Because we all know that World Turns was cancelled to make way for The Talk. But instead of a new soap, I so wish that CBS would rotate weeks and show the available classic episodes of As The World Turns and Guiding Light. They would get huge ratings for sure. 🤔🤔
Wouldn't that be amazing!
I wish Alan had asked him about the decision to kill off Dr. David Stewart. Actor Henderson Forsythe was still alive but had left the show. However, he would show up occasionally for a week or more over the years.
So many questions to ask, Alan. Loved speaking with him.
He mentioned “a couple” of stories that he was most proud of during his tenure, but seemed to have gotten sidetracked after discussing the first one. Would’ve loved to hear what that 2nd one was.
I'll have to have a part two!
I thought MaryEllen Stuart did an outstanding job in the role of Franny.
Agreed, Bruce. Love Mary Ellen!
great interview but few things wrong.The Doug Cummings storyline was fall 85 into 86 not 1988,the same goes for the Synders They were introduced fall 1985 not 1988,I hate when they get facts wrong.he should write a book though.
It's a long time ago -- his memory was pretty darn great.
@@TheLocherRoom it wasnt great with those storyline as u know.u should have corrected him.we fans know the dates
@@TheLocherRoom and btw im one of few fans who never loved the Snyders so i remember exaclty when they took over the show.they startedcslowly fall 1985.
Caso/Marland allowed the ATWT cast to become bloated with too much deadwood; exec. producer John Valente wisely began to pare down the cast size.
Interesting take~!
