Whereas the minute radio soaps often focused on one central, heroic character for example, Dr. Jim Brent in Phillips' Road of Life , the expanded minute format of As the World Turns enabled Phillips to introduce a handful of professionals within the framework of a family saga.

Phillips' style favored gradual evolution over radical change. Slow, conversational, and emotionally intense, the show moved at the pace of life itself — and sometimes even more slowly than that. Each new addition to the cast was done in a gradual manner and was usually a key contact to one of the members of the Hughes family. As such, the show earned a reputation as being quite conservative , though the show did showcase a gay male character in The household products-manufacturing giant typically frowned on storylines in which adultery and other immoral behavior went unpunished and, as late as the s, characters from the primary families were still generally not allowed to go through with abortions.

As the World Turns premiered on April 2, The series was also CBS's first to expand to a minute running time in The first words spoken in As the World Turns in the first episode aired on April 2, were "Good morning, dear", said by the character Nancy Hughes , played by actress Helen Wagner. Wagner was acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest run in a single role on television, a position she held until Wagner also left the series in , when she felt that writers were not interested in the veteran players and returned as a regular character in On the episode broadcast on Monday, August 30, , it was revealed that Nancy had died in her sleep; the next day's episode dealt with Nancy's memorial service.

Nancy Hughes's memorial aired just two weeks before the series finale. The show's producers stated in interviews that they had to revise their plans for the final episode because of Wagner's death — they had hoped that Wagner would say the final lines of the last episode just as she had said the first words of the first episode.

Since , a number of characters have crossed back and forth between As the World Turns and The Young and the Restless :. The irony in his appearance in the above-mentioned episodes is that 20 years before, LeBlanc left the role of Kirk McColl, the youngest son of Lisa's fifth husband, Whit McColl played by Wagon Train star Robert Horton, who was killed off shortly before Fulton's return to the show.

In this episode, the Hughes family was discussing plans for Thanksgiving. Ten minutes later, a " CBS News Bulletin" slide suddenly appeared on the screen and Walter Cronkite gave the first report of shots being fired at the motorcade in which President Kennedy was travelling. The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by this shooting.

More details just arrived. These details about the same as previously: President Kennedy shot today just as his motorcade left downtown Dallas. Kennedy jumped up and grabbed Mr. Kennedy, she called, 'Oh no! The motorcade sped on. United Press says that the wounds for President Kennedy perhaps could be fatal. Stay tuned to CBS News for further details.

The cast, performing the episode live, was not yet aware of the rapidly-developing situation. The President's been shot? CBS then returned to the show in the middle of the third scene, which would be the last regular program viewed by the television audience that day. During the commercial break that followed, the "CBS News Bulletin" slide appeared again and Cronkite resumed with audio-only reports of the developments in Dallas until the top of the hour when CBS News was ready to go on the air with video.

Once the episode came to a close with Eileen Fulton in the final scene, the cast was finally informed of the news. TV networks, were not programming in that timeslot then the — ET period belonging to their local affiliates , As the World Turns has the distinction of being the last regular U. Johnson took center stage. As the World Turns enjoyed a virtually uninterrupted reign as the highest-rated soap from to , [ 12 ] tying for first place with NBC Daytime 's Another World —, — and Days of Our Lives — By the mids, it was so firmly entrenched that its strongest competition, Let's Make a Deal , despite developing a devoted fan base in its own right and becoming one of daytime's most popular game shows, could not come close to matching it in the Nielsens.

Its strength was such that ABC ran hour-long drama reruns in the — pm. As that year began, Another World was expanded to 60 minutes, with its first hour-long episode airing on January 6, Although this did not directly affect As the World Turns , as the two shows were not in competition for anything other than the overall ratings win, CBS' afternoon lineup suffered some ratings damage as the popular soap put a dent in the ratings of two popular afternoon game shows, The Price Is Right and Match Game.

NBC, pleased by the success that the expansion of Another World had brought to the network, elected to do the same thing with Days of Our Lives beginning on April 21, ; this put Days of Our Lives and As the World Turns in direct competition for ratings. Incidentally, the expansions were occurring six and a half years after the last two minute serials, Search for Tomorrow and The Guiding Light , expanded to 30 minutes.

CBS considered expanding As the World Turns and Search for Tomorrow to 45 minutes eliminating the timeslot during which stations broadcast local or syndicated programs , but eventually decided to expand As the World Turns , its front-runner in the ratings battle, to a full-hour length. Initially, in order to free up the necessary 30 minutes to do so, CBS returned The Price Is Right , which had been paired with Match Game for the previous two years as part of the network's successful 3 p.

However, CBS changed course and decided that it would also attempt an expansion of Price to 60 minutes; this meant that, if the plans to expand As the World Turns were to go as anticipated, CBS would need to cancel a program to free up that 30 minutes of airtime it needed. This decision proved to be a grave mistake. The Edge of Night , which had a much younger and more male-centric audience than almost any other serial on television when the move was made, lost a large portion of its audience, especially to NBC's The Doctors , at the height of its popularity at the time.

In addition, the rest of CBS' drama lineup was performing well in the ratings and the network could not move the long-running serial to another timeslot without risking preemption from local affiliates, which would almost certainly have driven ratings even lower. A major issue arose that halted the planned shuffle, however. Although the expansion was not a complete success, at the end of the season, the serial was again at the top of the daytime Nielsens, despite a 1.

Further, All My Children ' s emphasis on youth-oriented, sexier storylines provided a sharp contrast to the domestic, almost quaint tone of As the World Turns and to a lesser degree, the melodramatic, somewhat topical Days. These factors helped contribute to the fall of As the World Turns from the top spot in the ratings at the end of the season.

Although facing the full length of Another World and One Life to Live once again, the Douglas Marland era of to had a resurgence in ratings, and by , it was back in its once-habitual top-four placing.
