Trivia:
Since the cancellation of "Another World" (1964) in 1999, several characters from that show (Jake, Cass, Vicky, Donna and Marley) have made appearances on this one. 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:
Henry Coleman: [Looking through the Hughes' refrigerator] Give it a few weeks. I've got to tell you something, I've got some irons in the fire. My ship is coming in. I can see a silver lining in that cloud that's been hanging over me for so long. I'm all out of clichés, baby. But I think you get my drift, don't you?Maddie Coleman: Yes I do. But I don't think you understand the urgency of my plight.
Henry Coleman: A-ha!
[pulls out a bottle and looks at the lable]
Henry Coleman: Creme de menthe? Oh Lord, who are these people, mad?
Maddie Coleman: Please, please, please. I can not bear it any longer, okay. Okay, all right, I will let you - I give you permission to use a little of that money from B.J. Henry, we can share a place. You can use it and we can share a place.
Henry Coleman: That money - that money's off limits for now, okay?
Maddie Coleman: You're right. I shouldn't even mentioned - what was I thinking?
Henry Coleman: I don't know. Shame on you, shame on you.
[takes a drink and spits it out]

The number of nominations this soap opera received at the 2001 Daytime Emmy Awards is just one indicator of how excellent this show has been lately. The writing has been especially good, and the acting seems much better than most daytime fare. Of particular interest is the dual roles of long-estranged twin sisters Lily/Rose played to perfection by the talented Martha Byrne. Her scenes opposite herself are brilliant.
This soap opera's best feature, though, is the pace at which story lines move along. There is no spoon-feeding the audience. You have to watch consistently to get involved in the plots: there are no recaps of the past month's twists. Conversely, there have been incredible flashbacks and memories using real original footage from as far back as the series first season (1956). This really adds a warm sense of continuity for characters like Nancy Hughes, played since the beginning by Helen Wagner.
