Touted as special event programming, the hour-long episode aired just before the Daytime Emmy Awards on June 23, 1992.
To appeal to many demographics, thirtyish couple Cass (Stephen Schnetzer) and Frankie (Alice Barrett) were featured, as well as twentysomethings Ryan and Vicky (Paul Michael Valley and Jensen Buchanan) and Jake and Paulina (Tom Eplin and Judi Evans Luciano).
Teen supercouple Dean and Jenna (Ricky Paull Goldin and Alla Korot) received most of the story in the special episode, as a party was being thrown in honor of his new album.
One of his songs, Ladykiller, became wildly popular and was played on the Times Square Jumbotron in the special episode.
[1] Another AW nighttime special was not attempted, although its sister show, Days of Our Lives, produced more one-off episodes.
