That's a great find. I wonder if it was a toup. -
I thought they had some older but they just don't start continuously until 1979.

I may have more, but not quite sure at the moment. I hope this helps. If anyone can narrow down how far behind SOD was in their biweekly era (2 weeks? a month?), let me know. This is the 2/25/86 Digest. 3/11/86 Digest.

They should have had Gabrielle start her own American Gladiators.

Promo at the start of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV5LTcLMxiU&feature=channel

For some reason I thought she left Passions to start a family, so she may have been doing that at this time. I can't remember now though.

I may have some. I can post them here, if that's OK. I'm not sure how many I have, someone else may have more. I guess that would be, what, late January-late March SOD issues?

That's an open secret, that Romney just says whatever he wants, but it's breathtaking that his shill actually admits it to the press. I mean "Etch-a-Sketch." Really? That's what you find in angry press releases from your opponents. The saddest part is that no one will care. Not the fawning press, not most of the base. It will just be shrugged off as business as usual. This might give some laughs: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/bono_interview_jason_mattera.php?ref=skyboxes

For some reason I remember summer 1997.

Megan, early in her run on the show, took Max (who had been working at Fraternity Row and had a big sparring relationship with her) to a cabin in the woods and then this guy who worked for the show would wear a New Jersey Devil costume, this thing being some type of big legend. Megan then played victim and took photos. max soon realized what was going on, took the costume for himself after chasing the guy away, and told Megan off.

Thanks for finding all this. I mostly remember that era of MTV for Remote Control and Liquid Television, but I do remember what a presence Madonna was. There was a certain level of respect on the channel at that time, along with the playfulness.

Sad to say I've enjoyed these recent Capitol episodes I've seen more than any of B&B in a long time.

Some of it is cheesy as hell, and some of the dialogue was pure LOL (like Walker randomly saying Cruz's "Indian spirit strength," or whatever, might have made him strong enough to kill Frank). The Lisa/Rafe stuff seems SO intense. Were they trying to recreate Cruz/Eden? Eileen Davidson is just godawful in this. This is the worst work of her career, by far. I seriously wonder if she got some acting lessons after this. I mentioned this over at TWOP but she reminds me of this: I do like Charles Grant's work in the episode. Gina/Lionel as a couple are odd, although it could have been worse.

9/1/92 Marlena de Lacoix column. SB: It's Not Over Till It's Over On or around Sept. 1, NBC is scheduled to announce whether it will cancel Santa Barbara. But as Yogi Berra said, it's not over till it's over. As a soap-world observer, I've felt obligated to watch the show because it's the work of two longtime soap-world heavyweights, executive producer Paul Rauch and head writer Pam Long. And what a collection of major-league soap talents are also gathered here: Kim Zimmer (Jodie), Jack Wagner (Warren), Nicolas Coster (Lionel), Robin Mattson (Gina), Gordon Thomson (Mason), Nancy Lee Grahn (JUlia), Thaao Penghlis (Micah), Jed Allan (C.C.) and Judith McConnell (Sophia), among others). If SB is canceled, the casting directors of the remaining 10 soaps will be dancing in the streets. In the last few months, the most important name in the whole equation has been Pam Long. Staying true to the strengths of her writing on Texas and Guiding Light, she pushed aside the wealthy, sophisticated Capwell family and brought to the forefront her own creation, the middle-class, emotion-filled Walker family. One soap critic has bitched loudly how out of sync with SB's past style Long's new material has been. No sh--, Sherlock! This is exactly why Long was hired: That old stuff wasn't working! Dying soaps always try outrageous measures when the cancellation notice is in the mail. Mating Long to SB is like grafting the head of a giraffe onto a horse. Despite all good intentions, you'll never get a thoroughbred. Long hasn't had enough time to totally rework the show, but evidently she's trying. The only glimmer of what she and Rauch hope to achieve has been her sole success - the B.J. child-abuse storyline, which incorporated Jodie's confession to Cruz that B.J. is his natural daughter. This beautifully produced sequence was filled with Long's trademark emotional intensity. On dramatically half-lit sets, the characters got to spill their guts all over the screen. (Long's personal motto is "Go for it.") I couldn't help but notice, though, that much of the sequence's success was actors who were giving their all. Weren't Sydney Penny (B.J.) and molester Nicholas Walker (Frank) superb? The confession scenes showcased Zimmer and Martinez, a charismatic pair who could have been the show's future in Martinez were not leaving to join the cast of L.A. Law. If Long could bring the emotional intensity of this sequence to her other stories, SB just might have a scintilla of a chance of survival. (And a last word about Martinez: He makes acting look so easy. Through eight years of good and bad on SB, no other actor has delivered as consistently. Wasn't the soap world lucky to have Martinez as long as we did? Now we've got to give him back to prime-time TV.) But let's face it - the rest of Long's work has been abysmal. Long's worst crime is that she's forgotten that one of Zimmer's big selling points as Reva Shayne Lewis on GL and as Nola Dancy on The Doctors was her sex appeal. Policewoman Jodie is portrayed as a frump. Hey, 40 isn't fatal! And as I've written before, SB's recent tries at "humor" are a travesty. Watching two favorite daytime actors, Mattson and Coster, as "jesters" Gina and Lionel doing everything but stand on their heads to get a laugh breaks my heart. Gina Jeans, indeed! By the way, Ballymoor was baloney. Grahn and Thomson should sue. Long (who on GL invented the "Dreaming Death" disease and cured Johnny Bauer of terminal cancer) should stay away from the occult or any topic that's more convincingly concocted in a supermarket tabloid. I should really stop myself here, but, of course, I won't. I can write so much more about SB's weaknesses. All those boring summer teen stories...why doesn't Forry Smith's (Reese) acting live up to his hunky looks? Will Warren ever chuck his attitude?...SB is now nothing more than boring, average soap opera. Marlena really hates to hit a soap while it's down. Colorful Rauch and Long have been two of my favorite soap-world personalities for more than a decade. They will resurface inevitably on other soaps. SB derailed long before either arrived on the show. If SB is canceled, you'll hear lots of chest-thumping as journalists scramble to explain the reasons why in print. As someone who has written extensively about the show for eight years, I'm not looking forward to its demise. Perhaps Sept. 1, California Gov. Pete Wilson will grant SB a stay of execution.

I thought the whole story of Chris being Ryan's father was stupid and pointless in the first place. I don't understand why people always need to be related. Nothing of interest came out of those two non-actors yelling at each other.

I doubt it, since she had a British accent, but it would have been fun.

When Fiona Hutchinson left OLTL in spring 1991, SOD mentioned that Santa Barbara was talking to her about a role.

The acting of level in these is strong enough to where you don't care about some writing issues (aside from that weird fantasy of a dad Kyle). I love, love, love the scenes of Alex coolly firing and decimating Warren and Phillip, all while pretending she's not heartbroken over her son's imprisonment and her own toxic dealings with Andy Ferris. Beverlee is just masterful in these scenes. I hadn't seen them before, or had forgotten them. I'm always spellbound by Mary Kay Adams, but somehow, I can like both her and Beth, mostly because of the actors.
