I've reached late '81 on shessosweet88 Finally I can start watching Freeflyur's 82-89 episodes and not be confused lol!
So sad that music copyright prevented SoapNet from airing the whole run of RH. Those tapes are out there somewhere

For some reason shessosweet is putting up some random episodes from 1982/1983 that Freeflyur has up on YT already.

I'm so looking forward to seeing a few episodes that I wouldn't mind if they were out of order. Anything to visit Ryan's Bar again. )

I think Freeflyur has the definitive archive of post-82 episodes though. I noticed shessosweet uploaded a SoapNet St Patrick's Day marathon so I'm not sure if SoapNet showed random post-82 episodes Still if anyone has 1982 episodes for sale please let me know lol because I would certainly buy them

Back when I was purchasing RH episodes off iOffer I did notice sellers had those clusters of 82/83 episodes for sale, so I'm pretty sure that's what shessosweet is uploading
It kills me that all the remaining episodes are in a vault somewhere trapped by music rights! It's frustrating because there is such a limited audience that really need to see these episodes!
I can't remember who owns the tapes because I vaguely remember Clare Labine came and left a few times in the 80's

The episodes that Freeflyur has up on YouTube are ones compiled by our own Proboards poster Wanda.Freeflyur used to be part of the old Soapnet forum and offered to put them on YouTube
Wanda spent a great deal of time seeking out shows (from TV message boards and paying for ads in soap opera and TV magazines and newspapers looking for post 1982 episodes) and spent even more time organizing, editing, and then copying videos/discs for Soapnet posters.
I've looked at the IOffer lists and many of the 1983-1989 disc descriptions are exactly the way Wanda compiled her discs --so I also believe most are copies of Wanda's work.
We were also told it could be actors' residuals, too. Peter Haskell (Hollis) told a poster that the year he joined the show in 1982 was the first year actors' contracts had a residual clause – and he said he doubted Soapnet would ever rebroadcast those 1982-1989 episodes.
After the show was cancelled, Claire bought the episodes back. She then sold them to ABC again when Soapnet came on the air.

Thanks for all the info!
Then I guess whoever is selling those 82/83 compilations stole them from Wanda and is now reselling them on iOffer..
We are lucky to have Freeflyur's channel on YouTube. Does anyone know why there are no episodes from 1982 on her channel? Did she remove them or did YouTube?
I never knew residual contracts would be signed for a Daytime Soap! I can understand prime time shows because they go into syndication/reruns etc. But daytime soaps are pretty much one and done. Especially as far back as 82 I don't know why an actor would think a soap episode would air more than once, I must be missing something

Wanda had made videos and discs for people on the Soapnet board so there probably a number of copies out there
Freeflyur is a guy – he got permission from Wanda to put her post-1981 collection on YouTube.
Wanda got little to no response regarding 1982 episodes from her post-1981 episode search -- that is why there is really nothing to put on YouTube from her tapes.
Dark Shadows (which aired 1966-1971) was in syndication by the mid-1970's --their cast had residual clause in their contracts.
I wonder if adding the clauses in the 1980's was due to the beginning of the surging cable TV market.
In 1983 --TBS aired repeats of the soap opera Texas --and in the mid 198o's the USA network was airing repeats of The Edge of Night.(beginning in with 1981 episodes)

That's interesting about Texas and EON, it makes me think even more that actors residuals weren't what blocked SoapNet from airing RH post '81. I really think RH used way more top 80's pop songs than either Texas or EON. Once I saw Delia literally dance around to Kool And The Gang Celebration, I knew the SoapNet run would be coming to a close soon lol.
I'm trying to remember if EON used popular 80's songs at Preacher's Video Disco. Still it seemed as if RH used more 80's music
Thanks for the info on Freeflyur, I always wondered if he had episodes from '82 and YouTube had taken them down for music copyright

Here's an idea for you, how about you upload episodes of RH from January-September 1984, December 1984, January 1985-May 23, 1985, the rest of December 1985, May 1986, and June 1986, all being on Youtube.
Can you do that for me right this time?
