Love in the Afternoon - Valetine's 1983

GSN gave us soap fans a gift this past week, with the rebroadcast of five Family Feud episodes with 20 daytime stars from the 1980s. The competitors were five men and five women from both of the casts of All My Children and General Hospital. Within this blog entry are spoilers of what happened on these episodes.

Love in the Afternoon Super Feud Special- Watching Family Feud from February 1982

For two weeks in May, GSN aired two weeks of special episodes of Family Feud from February 1982. At that time, Family Feud aired as part of ABC's daytime line-up, so they cross promoted their soaps on the game show. The soaps aired on ABC at that time were All My Children, Edge of Night, General Hospital, One Life to Live and Ryan's Hope. Whatever money the teams made went to charity that was chosen by the actors on each particular team. The first week all five teams played twice. The two teams that raised the least amount of money played on the fifth show as a tie-breaker. The team that won on Friday would continue on to play the second week while the losing team on Friday stopped.
