I'm currently rewatching CC's coma. Eden is driving me insane! Yeah, idjit, literally to some random new guy that you met a week ago instead of the man you love. Makes sense. Honestly, at this point in the show, Cruz deserves better. Lucky she comes around. And she is SO SO whiney.

Because CC was the one who put the real bullets into the gun.

Man, I still hate Maggie Ellis. I think Warren and Liz would have been interesting, but nope, the show went with Maggie, the most boring character to ever hit the show

You know WAY more about California than I do. My complaints are usually confined to "There aren't mountains in the background in the Midwest." I've only known one person from the actual Santa Barbara and she was a Latina living up north, and she always wore black turtlenecks and sweaters.

It really was gross to watch. I mean who could fall for the guy who did all of that to you? Also, by 91, the whole CC/Sophia will they won't they was pretty old. I actually liked Gina G when it looked like they were going to pair her with Brick. They were really good together. I preferred Amy, but the actress left. Santana and Brick could have been fun and opened several plot possibilities.

https://www.soapoperanews.net/2023/06/nicolas-coster-dies-at-89.html?m=1 Thank you, Mr. Coster for sharing your talent with us. You will be missed. My heart is a little broken over this one

This makes me so very sad

It's allowed. I get that way at times too. I get that way when people say Sophia left. The original storyline was that she was taken. To me there's a BIG difference between the two.

I've been thinking about this. I'm not sure I agree about CC. Pamela wanted him back. Yes, Sophia dated Lionel first, but she chose CC. She broke it off with Lionel. Then she fell off the boat. When she came back, she wanted CC- NOT Lionel. Yes, 88 ruined Sophia and CC, but no one liked that year. Grant talked about how CC increased the Capwell fortune by millions. Meghan only wanted CC, but fortunately, she was dying.

Bateman was stiff, but I feel like he eventually loosened up. There was definitely some good, subtlety to his acting. I think the hurt when he first sees Sophia was well done. He had chemistry with Gina and Sophia. I'll always feel a bit sorry for the actor because of the way he was fired. I also think his acting during the final reveal of who shot precious Channing was very well done. He was controlled while Judith McConnell was not. It created contrast- inward processing vs outward. I think the stars were there in the beginning to help draw fans in. You also forgot Virginia Mayo and Ray Walston. I always thought it was fun.

I couldn't disagree more. I love CC, Ted and Danny. The show would have been awful without CC. Bateman won me over. Jed was better, but Charles was good. I didn't think Dane was a very good actor. I actually think he was terrible and have never seen the charisma other people see with him. Peter could have gone. I don't really buy that CC would have been happy with Kelly marrying her high school teacher!

I'm FINALLY through the Paul Burke episodes. Yikes!!! I did love Bateman. I think he was very good, especially after his predecessor. Jed will always be my CC, but Bateman was very good. He was great with the whole cast. I also love Danny and hate what they eventually did with his character. If they had to have him decend into drugs, that would have made a great storyline for some talented actor. Also, I came up with a new fun way to start a reboot. Robin Wright (as herself- famous actress, because you know she'll never come back for good) checks into the presidential suite and somehow finds that two way mirror. She then sues because the hotel has used it to spy on people for 40 years. And also also- in Bateman's first episode, he and Eden move the gazebo. Eden says she doesn’t know why since they'll never use it anyway. And I'm laughing because they use that multiple times a month for YEARS!

Not sure if this has been answered, but YouTube has most of the beginning. Look for the Kelly Eden Capwell channel. She has 4 channels under different names, but they all have the same content. I could listen to Jed read a phone book and be happy about it. I love that man's voice. I am not sure any actor could have saved Warren and Maggie because the character of Maggie was terrible. That was sort of the nail in the coffin for poor JAN. I think the show tried to keep the Lockridges. But once the Dobsons were locked out, Augusta had left. Letting Louise go was a HUGE mistake. Then Nic Coster left. When they brought them back, too much of the original audience had left, and the new audience didn't care. It didn't help that they were charactatures of the Old Lockridges. When you have Augusta and Lionel, you want it ALL- charisma, comedy, drama, heart. If the 2 kids had been on par with those 2, who knows, maybe the Capwells would have disappeared. Doubtful once Jed was CC.

Yeah, this is a valid assessment.

Victoria foxton, these are awesome. Except my very first thought was Why is Kevin Costner in Santa Barbara, maybe I AM missing something by not watching the final years. My second is Nah, even Alan Rickman and Colin Firth couldn't save the final years.
