I know there is a scene where Opal is giving Brooke a massage at the Glamourama, and trying to make Brooke jealous. Donna and Tom were romantically paired at one point for certain, but not sure how serious they were.

Barbara and Tom weren't married when little Laura died.

Well, the Chandlers didn't get a montage, but I understand that it was a little hard to fit it into the landscape that was the Chandlers storyline. Adam had Stuart back, but still estranged from JR. Brooke brought back the Chandler Mansion, and Adam and Brooke became engaged, but those details didn't unravel until the last episode, and it would have taken away from the rest of the cast to try and insert a Chandler montage at that point.

It seems that over the years, the rape was mentioned more than the subsequent abortion. Brooke's rape was drudged up over the years in relation to other women raped on the show, which was many (Natalie, Gloria, Julia and Kit). When Ross was on trial for Natalie's rape, Brooke revealed to her new husband Adam that she had been raped by an acquaintance. This was around the time that acquaintance rape was becoming a more talked about matter. When Julia was considering an abortion after her rape, Brooke was brought into the picture, and it was one of the few times her own abortion was brought up. With Kit, Brooke was one of her few supporters. And yes, when Brooke was told she must have an abortion to save her life, her previous abortion was alluded to at that time.

What is worse, I know the scene on the screen in the Oprah segment... Brooke has just learned that Aunt Phoebe has died, and Brooke is angry with Adam, who suffered another TIA (mini-stroke), and is refusing medical treatment.

Opal pulling down Adam's shirt while quickly giving his torso a once-over, and Tad quickly stepping in between the two - cracks me up.

I've wanted to see Erica sing that song for a while, it was pre-empted in my area. La Lucci is good, but the song felt too recorded.

I think the lack of Jenny and Greg is their era combined with VHS machines not quite yet being a household item.

Thanks for sharing the SOD article. I think this is 99/2000 for Crystal Ball Celebration, I remember being in love with Brooke's dress. The next set of Crystal Ball Photos (with FH in red velvet dress) was 2000 into 2001.

Is this picture in a current SOD? If so, what is the caption and/or article that goes along with the photo? Brooke and Dimitri would have been interesting, but ultimately McTavish used "fan outcry" as the reason the duo was dumped before truly exploring their relationship. I wouldn't have seen them as a long-term couple - just a jump to reuniting Brooke/Edmund and Erica/Dimitri.

Except Tad and Edmund - of course, Brooke shared them with others, but not Erica.
