I never watched ATWT regularly. I'd sometimes catch the last five or 10 minutes before "Guiding Light" during the off-and-on years I watched it. So I'm somewhat familiar with the main families and some of the characters and storylines over the years. Ariana - I'm really glad you've included these clips. They're proof of what I suspected when I first saw the AW clips you posted: AW was crazy to let you go. This role as Melinda clearly shows your growth and maturity and promise from the Marianne days. Marianne with a dash of Melinda would have perfect for AW around 1980. I've really enjoyed these first three clips. What a time capsule. At the time this storyline was playing out, I was between high school and college, loading up heavy boxes of peaches into pickup trucks for minimum wage! That summer job provided me with food and spending $$$ at college that fall.
