Trivia:
The daytime serial "Another World" (1964) was conceived as a spinoff of this show. It was submitted to CBS, which decided not to air the new program. After "Another World" was picked up by NBC, CBS refused to allow any major characters from this show to appear on the new one. However, one minor character, Mitchell Dru (Geoffrey Lumb), who had also appeared on the CBS soap opera "The Brighter Day" (1954), did appear on 'Another World". moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: When Rose is in a spa in Switzerland and escapes, she ends up in Belgium and Belgian farmers tell her she is in 's Hertogenbosch. 's Hertogenbosch does not lie in Belgium, in fact, you must have walked 30km and crossed a borders, for it is a city in the Netherlands. moreQuotes:
Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Will you keep your pants on when you're alone with Maddie?Casey Hughes #5: I can't believe you said that!
Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: All right, come on, it freaks me out, too.
Casey Hughes #5: You're my mom! I'm your impressionable teenage son! Geez!
Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Well, look, I finally got more than one word out of you.

As the World Turns is a piece of Americana culture. Cast members like Helen Wagner, Bob Hastings, Eileen Fulton, Kathryn Hays, Colleen Zenk Pinter, Marie Masters, Elizabeth Hubbard, Larry Bryggman etc. have really helped make my days sometimes. The show was created Irna Phillips, the creator of daytime television. From her ideas, she created the world of Oakdale, Illinois. Helen Wagner should be given many honors besides a Lifetime Emmy Award. Next year, she will be celebrating 50 years of playing the same character on daytime television. Where are the accolades that go with such an achievement? She deserves a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and even to be an honoree at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Center Honors. Don't stop there! She should be inducted into the television hall of fame for her contributions to television. I think CBS is the best, most supportive network of the three. While Guiding Light needs ever viewer, this year will determine both Guiding Light and As The World Turns future. If you want to know where Desperate Housewives' ideas came from, this is the place and it has been there for most of our lives. I just wish more people would appreciate the fine quality of work that these cast of brilliant actors do for daytime. I would like to see prime time players do the hectic schedules of any daytime player. It goes unappreciated. The story lines have not been the same since Douglas Marland's death but his legacy is his creative contributions to the show like the Snyder family. I will never forget the Angel incest storyline as the most shocking entertaining informing and brilliant portrayal ever anywhere else. Marland weaved stories like his predecessors Irna Phillips, Agnes Nixon, Bill Bell, etc. He is sorely missed even now. I hope As the World Turns and Guiding Light live on television forever so please give daytime a try. You might like it better than prime time, I usually do and I have watched it for 20 years.
