You're welcome. I ordered the DVDs. I'll report back if there's anything worth mentioning.

I'd never heard of this Australian soap opera until today! It ran for 126 episodes. It starts with a family who wins the lottery but the show revamps itself a few times. The storylines toward the end involve neo nazis and carnivorous plants! Sorry if there is already a thread for this! From IMDB: "A family's life changes after winning the lottery jackpot. Initially focusing on their newfound wealth, the show takes an absurd turn with neo-Nazis, Chinese gangsters, supernatural entities, and man-eating flora" It was released on DVD a few years ago! (PAL, Region 0) Even this clip from episode 14 gets whacky towards the end

I gotta disagree about 1987 being a boring year. I've only seen a couple dozen episodes from that year, and I haven't viewed the above videos yet, but there was a lot of drama. Trisha was addicted to drugs and dating the villainous casino owner Nick Dinatos. Gwyn was in full matriarch vixen mode and I believe at one point goes to the casino to slap Nick. I'm not a big fan of false rape storylines, but there was intrigue with Steve being in jail, and him and Trisha still being in love. Then there was the Alden panic learning "Clay" is still alive, and Alex comes in hot. He sleeps with Gwyn and then basically tells her to F off. Retweet about the Loving Murders. It's my favorite soap storyline, as tragic as it is.

Thank you @Errol I'm happy to see Beyond The Gates increasing their numbers. In Women 18-49 they are only .01 behind The Bold and the Beautiful. I really hope this week of repeats doesn't slow their momentum.

You're very welcome. I think Noelle Beck and Trisha are extremely underrated. She was on the show for more than 8 years and had two major romantic pairings. As you said, she was young and really grew up on the show. I know Loving was never highly rated but I wish she had more recognition.

Noelle Beck nominated for Outstanding Younger Actress in the 1989 Daytime Emmy's. At 19 minutes and 16 seconds. Apologies if this has been posted before. It's nice to see a clip of Trisha, even if it's quick.

This is the first episode this week that has really captivated me. Leslie kicking Eva out hurts my soul...

That fakeout was a bad idea. The fight would've been great drama. And they put it in the promo!

Download isn't working for me either. With that said, thank you for all the work you have done!

The last few episodes have reminded me of watching old soaps. I was hesitant to get behind the hype but damn!

Best news all year.

This is the best episode so far. Finally there's action!

Is the All My Children Lifetime movie dead or is it moving really slowly? I haven't heard anything about it.

Is there a chance ABC will get more serious about GH and replace FV? Maybe now that Beyond The Gates exists, they will see a need to revamp GH. My apologies if this was discussed upthread.

@DRW50 You're welcome! I won't spoil anything but you'll love it. I hope to hear your thoughts. I'm not even halfway through watching them but it's incredible. I need to write my opinions at some point. It's 26 years old...but maybe I'll use spoiler tags? I've been hoping for something like this since the Africa Channel days.
