We Love Soaps first published the original story bible for As The World Turns written in 1955, then referred to as As The Earth Turns, courtesy of Emmy winner Martha Byrne. As the show continues its final week on the air, we are republishing the complete bible below which includes character descriptions and six months of story projections.

This is a must-read for all As The World Turns fans.

John Paul Getty III's recent death brings to a close a tragic chapter in the wealthy family's decades-long drama of strife and eccentricity. Anthony Haden-Guest reports on their woe.
The death on February 5 of John Paul Getty III at Wormsley, his estate in the English county of Buckinghamshire, where he had long been watched over by his mother, Gail, and a round-the-clock team of caregivers, writes finis to a story as terrible as it is gripping. It is in its essentials a tale of the family lives of the hugely rich so we might as well begin at a peculiarly high or low point which is with his kidnapping at the age of 16 by a gang of mobsters at 3 a.m. on July 10, 1973 on Rome's Piazza Farnese.
