Wow, I hadn't realized that either though I had made the connection.

Wow! Thanks saynotoursoap, as always. There was so much about that I hadn't even known about. I loved how they tied it into the earlier story of Herb loving Van. Do you know the timeframe of the storyline?

Thank you both so much for that insight and information. Is there anywhere online that has detailed information about the show and particularly, Vanessa? I can't seem to find anything in-depth about past storylines. Can anyone fill me in on the Nell Saltzman story? I know she was having an affair with Jason and dressed in a wig to frame Van, but what was her motive and how did the story conclude?

I don't think she did. I was always waiting on someone to mention him, but I don't think it ever happened. I would've loved to see him return though and be a full-time rival for Clint.

I was surprised by some of the comments in the 1990 review. I certainly agree it was probably one of the worst years of the show though. I will always love Eterna, Buchanan City, etc. though. I was stunned when they considered the casting of Fiona Hutchinson a miss though, but I love her and Gabrielle, so maybe I'm biased. I never thought Michael Palance was all that popular, so didn't expect him to be considered a hit. And Karen Witter was never my personal ideal Andrea Evans replacement.

Christine was playing Viki all throughout that year-long story with Ted Clayton and all then. Thanks for posting those other reviews as well, I can't wait to read them!

That was an extremely harsh, yet well written review. I consider it harsh mainly because a lot of the stuff I consider gold compared to the daytime of today. Id love to have seen the same writer review the show was it was in its final years. Was Christine or Erika playing Viki during the Masquerade Ball? I like Christina Jones, but she is Pamela to me and I can't enjoy someone outside of Gillian or Erika as Viki. That was. A LOT to happen throughout the ball, but over a three week period, I'd imagine that to play out nicely and keep the momentum going.

Thanks so much for posting that review, I love stuff like that. I haven't read it, but I'm extremely surprised that put down the Clint and Viki pairing.

I remember she did a Where Are they Now with SOD in 2009 and said she was so happy and was willing to come back. I can't believe they would run such a serious story as that, with no verification or anything. Did they ever refute their claims?

Those look really nice, thanks for sharing. She mustve had the longest disappearance on a soap.

I know Tina and I think Viki had on fur coats in a scene that around sometime during Eterna. They were at Viki's cabin which had been ransacked by a gold hunter. Itso n YouTube somewhere.

I was thinking the same thing. Its sad how rare that is in daytime when their supposed to reflect the real world.

Thanks! Tina and Gabrielle are dynamite to me, I can't help but wonder how the different the show would've been if Fiona and Andrea had never had to leave. I don't know much about Max and Luna (I prefer he and Gabrielle as well) but was it because of her he moved to NC?

I didn't realize she ever left the show. Was that her months-long absence from 1987 to 1988, before she returned in the Faux Bo story?

Yeah, he didn't even try to act those last several years he was on. Granted, Carlivati didn't do him any favors in the writing department. Does anyone know if Gabrielle ever mentioned Tina after returning in 2001? I was wondering if they ever kept in touch, although I doubt they did given what Gabrielle did after getting caught up with Carlo. I really wish they had brought her back, to see Tina and Gabrielle going at it again would've been amazing.

Thanks for sharing that story. A jewel robbery story seems out of place at the time.

What was the jewel robbery story?

I heard he wrote the very end of the Willows storyline, which aired I believe at the end of November to early December. The story originally started around April or May. I would love to see the entire story, Eileen seems to love it.

Thanks for sharing that! I've always wanted to see that entire storyline.

I wonder how different her stint would have been if they had paired Melinda with Bo, I loved he and Sarah though!

Thanks for sharing that! Its always nice to see more Carla and those wonderful classic promos.

That's so sad! I had always wanted Ed and Carla to be reunited and I can't believe, though its not surprising, that they were completely forgotten by the end. He was a great actor and definitely helped pave the way for future diversity on soaps, though that's all gone to hell now.

Thanks for posting those! They were so much fun to read!

Thanks for posting that! I love those all recaps. Its nice to dig back into the lives of Pat, Carla, Larry, Karen, Viki and Tina for a little while as SOD used to do their summaries so well.

Thanks anyway Cheap. Its so hard to find 90s B&B on online, especially in English.
