I hated JHC like everyone. The show was just trash. Uneven. Like others said, at least the show felt like AMC directly before her. It is clear that ABC wanted to remodel AMC. I'd even say that OLTL, in terms of feel, was the same as it was in the 90s. An abbrivated version, of course. People tend to talk a lot about Y&R's struggles. Specically, how the hour show killed the original major families. And CBS/SONY [!@#$%^&*] it up after 2007. People forget that AMC suffered the same fates and for the same reason. It's almost like they were 3 years apart of everything.

I am trying to watch the whole story of the trial. Does anyone know the date of this event? I'm trying to figure out what happened directly to this. IIRC, it had something to do with Sloan's book. I am curious to when, exactly, Dorian decided to do this. EDIT: The correct video is Dorian trying to destroy Victor's corpse. Unfortunately, I am having difficulties copying/pasting.

Any Capitol Fans Here?
Is there a link that isn't broken? I do know that, at one point, this link worked.

Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
A while back, on youtube, a montage video was posted that I am looking for. In essence, it was a montage of various openings with a voice-over. Does anyone know were I can find that? Who was it, btw?

I agree. Many times in the student union I would play Ryan's Hope or Edge of Night or Doug Marland's ATWT and people would turn their heads and watch. Same when I would play the shows at this AirBnB I stayed at. Hell, my fiance, who has the attention span of a nat, will stop, and sit, when I play per-Barnabus Dark Shadows. Again, a guy who defines ADHD will sit for HOURS watching that show. He has even gotten into The Doctors. But. The same doesn't hold true whenever I watch current crap. I know this because in the same settings, I tested it (showing Nancy Curlee's GL then shwoing the years RIGHT BEFORE Peapack or the last year of AMC's ABC run vs the 90s. 90's AMC tends to hold up remarkably well).

I am basically doing what you are doing. I downloaded all of the episodes that were posted over the years and now I'm in 1988. I noticed that the show had a lesser amount of stories going on between 1983-1987 then it suddenly started taking root again. I think it started around the introduction of Nina. Then, Leanna kinda accelerated the growth. Currently, I am on the episodes were Jessica and John Marry. I agree about the pacing. The stories lasted a long time but there was constant movement. A lot was going on. It is War and Peace as opposed to Gone With the Wind. There is a difference between dragging out a story and a long story. He told long stories.

A really long time ago I read an interview, I think here, with Bill Bell. I believe in the interview he mentioned not liking Melodrama. Anyway, does anyone know of such interview? If so, can someone repost it? In any case, I am trying to hunt down as many interviews with him as possible. Thanks in advance.

God, I can relate. My biggest -peave is when atwt is mentioned as the 'first' and being on radio. Ive been writing a book on soaps for 10 years, I'm now 26, I can even safely say that the term was coined bc they were used to sell GENERAL products but the serials were of HIGH QULITY. Chit, ealy sponsors only interfered when the quality was bad bc they didnt want to be associated with low-quility writing. So, when I was in history and radio soaps were mentioned I was being told what you were told and I remember acting in a similar fashion. Ot, but was your school participating in the 'history alive' program? I hate it when you find all these tv encyclopedia books which have few, if any, soap references. Of course, until the late 90s, it seems as if soaps were on there own island apart from the rest of tv. Like, tv was the only device which could show them so they had to be on tv.- Knots Landing
