I'm so glad you were there for him. Kudos for even being able to watch these moments. Not to change the subject too much, but the part where Sloan gave Viki a photo of herself in younger years to reconnect with happier times - it's interesting as that is his idea of Viki, rather than the reality. Viki was never happier. I suppose Viki and Sloan have such a passionate relationship because they can make each other what they need them to be, not having any awareness of who they actually were.

@dc11786 Very glad to see your analyses again. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I watched 1998 closely at the time and I'd tend to agree with you, especially about how Eve was much more interesting with Chris or Julie than in what they gave her. The attempt to turn her into a heroine soured me on the character, and I don't think it suited Julie Pinson, to say the least.

Thanks @Maxim Amazing how much Mia looks like Elaine Princi in those scenes. Blair listing out every lie she told all seems a bit rushed but I prefer it to a story dragging out the beats. You almost feel sorry for Asa as he cared about Blair in his own Asa way, but Asa's idea of "caring" is extremely damaging. I'm not a big fan of the whole trope of mwa-ha-haing as someone is trying to get their pills, but Mia does a great job and I did enjoy the last moment where she gave him her birth control. I'm sure Phil Carey crawling all over the floor made some blooper reels. I appreciate all the time and effort on your part but if you ever need to step away from so much dark material, as plenty more is on the way, I'm sure we will all understand.

The Bridges cast looks much more interesting than the show probably was. Jose Ferrer, Nick Surovy, Nancy Cartwright, Roddy McDowall.

That dastardly Peter Taylor...

Once upon a time the show would have remembered that Sam had a bond with Joe due to his friendship with Rachel. Now we're just meant to boo and hiss. Belle should have been written out years ago and Sam too.

This show basically led to The Nanny. She became friends with Twiggy and went to see her. She saw a CBS exec while waiting to take off and pitched the idea to him. They recreated the whole thing on The Nanny (about 4 minutes in). The Real Inspiration Behind The Nanny - YouTube

Thank you for the specific date. The eye choice is weird but that's why I liked it. I don't know if it would work on a regular basis though.

I keep meaning to watch more of those but I'm agog to learn EJ had that role. He gunned John down and John was left in a coma for months. He raped Sami (and it's not as if that story has been forgotten). I know Salem loves a redeemed villain but still...

@slick jones Thanks for all the time you spent on these, and all the time you have spent on so many listings and updates. It's the time of year to express gratitude but we can never do that enough. Hard to remember sometimes just how long Tatyana was wasted on Y&R.

That would be an interesting idea. I still think the show should have had a story about this subject.

Thanks @SoapDope78 . Neat that they cobbled that together from various newly found promos. Another reason why random uploads can be so important.

Happy Thanksgiving! I think of the P&G soaps most around this time of year. I'd like to think the Hughes will always be with us.

You're probably right, it is still something that interests me because I think radio soaps had more of a freedom for psychological storytelling due to the lack of visuals. I could have seen one of them having material set in Vietnam.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. This place has been a real touchstone over a year that has often left us reeling and not wanting to not what is next. The humor, the discussions, the history - there's a lot to be grateful for here.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I've been grateful for all the "lost" soap content this year, especially the first half of the year - much more than I had ever expected. And I'm grateful to all of you here, who help get me through tough times.

Her final show was True Colors - she died around the time the final episode aired. Cleavon Little, who was the male lead, died months later.

I may be wrong, but I think Princi's last airdate is in mid-January. I think it may be at Andrew and Cassie's wedding. There is a break of about a month, I think with the line that Dorian went to a spa, before Dorian returns with the show trying for a cute reintro. There's some big change around January/February, which makes sense I suppose, starting the year off with a jolt (it's nothing monumental so don't take this as overhype), as they were using November and December to wrap up stories and wrap up families, dynamics, etc. Much smarter than soaps now where stories just end at any random time, if they even have an ending. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I've appreciated all your work and passion for AMC and OLTL over the last year as it helps motivate me more to go back when I'm mostly too lazy to do so.

Thanks @Maxim . Feels quaint to see characters only starting Christmas shopping a week before Christmas instead of months earlier. The scene with Viki and Dorian is terrific, from Dorian without missing a beat singing along to "do you see what I see" when glimpsing Viki and Sloan, to Viki rattling Dorian so much by preying on her fear of being unloved and alone. The scene with Blair and Dorian is also good, although the whole part with the broken angel is overwriting to me. Elaine Princi is at full powers in all this material. If I didn't know better, I would have no idea she was almost gone.

Based on the shadow I thought it was Groot.

I would have been especially interested in how they would have dealt with topics like Vietnam. I didn't know for a long time that Ma Perkins lost a son during WWII.

Never thought I'd seen Hotel being subjected to a Psycho ripoff.
