I don't care if Robin Wright likes or hates the show. IMO Kelly is a very damaged girl since Joe's death and Robin Wright is so good in the dramatic dark sad stuff like Marcy Walker who is also amazing.

Meanwhile, Carrington Garland is so weak in that sad and tragic scenes.

I think Carrington Garland was a better Kelly Capwell than Robin Wright. Yep! I said it! The Dobsons firing Garland for Eileen Davidson was a huge mistake.

You mean better writing? Because in the acting department Robin Wright is so much better than Carrington Garland.

Yes, I know. Probably she's wrong. In that video she also says something like they killed off Kelly Capwell and that's not right. 

I also have found this on a article about 'The Princess Bride'

‘The Princess Bride’ required a 4 month shooting schedule on location throughout England and Ireland. And the time of filming the movie, Robin Wright was playing Kelly Capwell, one of the heroines of soap opera ‘Santa Barbara’. In exchange for allowing her time off to film the movie, they required her to extend her contract by almost a year. Robin wanted to leave the soap in July 1987, but then she was chained until June 1988.

“That wasn’t a fair trade,” Robin said, “but it was worth it. My agents and managers decided that I should agree to anything, to work Saturdays, to kiss their butts for the next nine months, whatever it took to get out and do the film.”

Years later, in 1992, Robin also talked about this. She explained: “I had a clause in my two-year TV contract that let me out for four weeks once a year to do films. But no film gets shot in four weeks and I did 3 movies, so every extra week extended approximately a month or two onto my contract. 

In December 2015, Cary Elwes also addressed this subject: “I consider Robin a very dear friend. Everyone knows what an extraordinary talent she is, so we were lucky to get her on the film. She was doing ‘Santa Barbara’ at the time, and they wouldn’t let her out of the contract so Norman Lear, our producer, and Rob Reiner worked very hard to get them to release her.”

I miss this.

Can someone explain me what Nancy Lee Grahn said about John Callahan?

I cannot believe it: Paula Kelly, Marj Dusay, Roscoe Born and now John Callahan.

It’s a terrible year for Santa Barbara actors.

I have watched these episodes today. I think 1985 is a year full of adventures. Maybe the stories are not great but they are very fun to watch. 

I cannot find the episode because most episodes were removed from Youtube, but I remember a remarkable episode between Eden and Kelly. It is when Kelly discovers Eden is alive (after Utah) and in a wheelchair.

Those moments are amazing IMO and Marcy and Robin have a great chemistry as sisters.

I think 1986 was a great year of the show.

On that same episode of House Of Cards, Robert Newman (Josh Lewis, GL) appears. 

Who says Robin Wright is trying to escape being associated with anything soap opera?

They also worked together on SB in the same year. Newman was a recast of Jospeh Bottoms. But I don't now if Robin and Robert shared any scene on SB

What a disaster!!!! Youtube is closing all Santa Barbara channels with full episodes. And I was watching the show everyday.

Just watched these episodes. I think this era of the show is great, except for the recast of Santana. I wish Ava Lazar made these important scenes where Santana discovered Channing had a romance with another man.

Just rewatched this.

What do you think of this scene? fans of Eden and cruz seems to love it, but I watch it now and I find it very creepy. I don’t like it at all.

2 excellent episodes. But I still think Mary died too soon. Mason and Mary made a great couple, even if I sometimes cannot stand her attitude.

Mary end is near. I'm not against her death but I think she could have been in the show at least one more year. Watching these episodes her death feels so sudden. 

And I also love Pearl and Kelly in the clinic. Their acting is so good. I wish they didn't erase their story once Robin Wright returned for Princess Bride. 

I am not saying they should be a couple but they should have bigger scenes as friends.

And I also love the chemistry between Keith and Eden. Their scenes are exciting. 

I love this season of the show. Here Santa Barbara feels like an ensemble show with multiples leading roles.

I forget it. Jane is so annoying. I don't understand why she lasted so long in the show. 

I am watching episodes from 1987 on youtube and I was wondering when did the Dobsons leave the show. 

I've read it's this year, but, what are the last episodes or month they are involved on the show?

Has Robin Wright commented publicly about what's going on with House of Cards and Kevin Spacey yet?

I'm more or less following this and she hasn't.

Probably she will hate her second TV series in a few years. 

Wow! These scenes are perfect. Marcy and Robin are great. When I see this, I remember why I hate so much the relationship between Eden and Kelly’s version made by Carrington Garland.

See the difference

It looks like a different show written by other writes.

I have not anything against Carrington but her version of Kelly was just other character not Kelly. The same with Terry Lester as Mason. Nothing to do with the original role.

About Leonardo DiCaprio... 

And Tea Leoni

Leonardo was only one episode. About Tea I have no idea if she was more than one episode.

And unofficially, this means that all 3 Mason Capwells enjoyed the company of men - allegedly.

It's completely true.  Rob Reiner discovered her by watching her on SB..  Either he or his wife watched her on the show and when he saw her, he thought she'd make the perfect Buttercup.  That's how the story has always gone.

But what’s the source? Is there any interview where Rob Reiner says that?

Because I watch a Chelsea Lately show where she said that to Robin about Rob Reiner. But it looked like a joke.

And Rob Reiner first met Robin Wright early 1984 (before Santa Barbara) because she auditioned for ‘The Sure Thing’ and Reiner didn’t like Robin Wright and her bad audition.

And then there’s  the book of Janet Hirshenson and Jane Jenkins (casting directors of ‘The Princess Bride’) named ‘A Star is Found’ where they explain the casting process of ‘The Princess Bride’ and they tell Rob Reiner didn’t want to meet again with Robin Wright because he remembered her from ‘The Sure Thing’ audition and didn’t like her at all.

I wish I could post the pages of the book here.
