Wow, does this bring back memories! I always loved the Steve and Betsy storyline, and Meg Ryan's star qualities are really evident here, several years before she became a true mega-star. Thanks for posting!
Remember when Betsy had her "disfiguring" accident, and when they took the bandages off, it was another Betsy! Meg left to make her name in the movies, I suppose. I remember loving that Betsy had her ears double pierced, and the first thing I noticed was the replacement Betsy did not! I was a heartbroken 7 year old. Always loved this couple, and their storyline. Good times.
Does anybody remember the wedding song as she walked down the isle? Her best friend sang it, Nobody loves me like you do! It was later recorded by Ann Murray
Isn't it amazing and cool that there were Three Greek Families on US Soaps. The Andropoulos Family, then The Kiriakis Family on Days Of Our Lives, and then The Coopers (short for Kouperakis) on Guiding Light. On The UK Soap Opera EastEnders there was a Papadopoulos Family. The Actor who played Steve would later play Reese's Homophobic Father on All My Children.
I knew it the minute I say Meg Ryan as Betsey that she was going to be something great as well as long term in the entertainment industry. I am so glad I was right.
Betsy is one of ATWT"s ultimate legacy characters, a good girl who deserved to find happiness. Even her great-great-grandfather Judge Lowell would have approved of Steve at this point. I would love to see her father Dan's wedding to Kim, and her grandparents Ellen and David's first wedding.

Oh yes, I sang it before I walked down the isle!
These two were my favorite couple back then. Frank Runyeon was great actor. It's too bad Meg Ryan never acknowledges her soap opera past.
She thought it was beneath her to be on a soap opera.
Best ever

Her dress was “take off” of Princess Diana’s wedding dress, off the shoulder etc.

Precious
Who knew the actress would become the mega movie star Meg Ryan years after this.
And completely unrecognizable with the tons of plastic surgery... so awful to see her now while remembering when she was devastatingly cute
I watched this episode with my mom when I was 9
Where did the time go?
Wedding of the year on soap
1984
BUT!!! SHE WAS THE BEST BETSY THEY HAD!
I wonder if a "traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony" would have been flexible enough in those days to accommodate the couple having their own vows?
whats wrong with his face, why does he talk like that
