I just watched this episode. Yeah Madeline is dead. And Kirk has the heart of a ruthless beotch. It seems to me that they planned on David being the killer right away. Before he was even officially in town, they were showing his cigs. CC tried David at home and office and had him call him back. He wasn't officially in town until after the story broke in the papers, which would have been the next day.

And then a few episodes later, Mason is selling his dad Lionels forgeries and keeps a delightful gleam in his eye. Lol

I'm so glad my mom was a bad influence. 😅 I vaguely remember watching Somerset with her when I was in early grade school. I remember one scene. Do my eyes spy Robert Hogan in that bottom picture? Don't answer, I know that's Vince.

The show really gives Mason some of the best lines. There are his one line zingers. But one I've really been thinking about was after Mary got married and he was going to marry Santana. And he tells Mary that if reincarnation is real, he is going to find her again because they've already wasted one lifetime. Whew! Did tptb really think we wouldn't fall for a character who said that? Or even the fact that he wanted Sophia at his wedding to Santana. I do think he wanted to try to make it work, but Santana was an idiot who didn't understand Mason.

I adore, ADORE Felicia Gallant and Linda Dano, but they really put her in some bizarre outfits. And somehow, she made them work.

I went full geek and joined an SB Facebook group. She occasionally posts there. She seems like a very kind lady. When you read interviews with the cast, most of them speak very highly of her. Although I read one interview with her that said she didn't see Vivian as a villian. So maybe not as kind. Just joking, I truly think she is probably quite awrsome.

I agree with all of this. It is too bad that we lost Augusta because of this. But on the up side, the world did gain Vivian Allemagne.

I'm looking forward to CC getting slapped in the face with the reality of just how "wonderful" Kirk really is.

See through shoulders and visible shoulder pads. Very 80s Well, there's this

I actually really like Pearl. He's unusual and okay with that about himself. He also wants friends who like him for himself, not his money. He sees through the surface that people portray and sees into who they really are, then calls them on it. Someone here once said that Mason needed Mary to prepare him for Julia. I think Julia needed Pearl to prepare her for Mason. I mean they weren't lovers, but Pearl sort of made Julia face herself. And then, he let her know that herself was actually a good thing.

See- I'm the opposite. I like Pearl. But I can't wait for Madeline to go away.

Don't be. Remember that I'm zipping through because my day job is so boring. I click through computer screens and it takes between 1-5 minutes for the next screen to pull up. I haven't watched Season 3 of VR yet. I read the books, but they are so different that I don't know what will happen on the show. I loved SB in the day, but didn't get to watch it often. There are definite bits that I remember, but there's a LOT that is new to me. I'd slow down for you, but the next few episodes are so phenomenal, I'm not sure I can. Yes and know. I kind of know how it ends. I'm sure she was. They wanted a list of suspects for their next big WHODUNIT. So they made her irritate everyone she met. And irritate the audience along with the characters. I am usually a calm influence on the world. But I want to reach through my tv, grab her by the lips and hit her with our largest iron skillet!!

I'm so glad that someone killed Madeline Capwell before I had to... What an overwhelmingly annoying character.

I wish I had a kitchen like that. But Days and Another World had kitchens. At least I remember Alice Horton in a kitchen. And the McKinnons spent a lot of time in Vinces kitchen. And didn't the Frame farmhouse have a kitchen? The living room at the Capwells was very nice. Judith McConnell got great furniture from that set. I do remember Gina and Meghan drunk on that blue sofa and Gina telling Meghan to give up because in the end, she will always be the second choice.

And the show had the actors who could have been super couple stability. TPTB certainly originally played up CC and Sophia. I mean they were on Dr. Ruth for crying out loud!! And Mason and Julia were SCORCHING. And Lionel and Augusta could have been if they'd thrown money at LS to keep her- like they should have. Augusta to CC after the divorce, "CC, I have just erased 26 years from my life. And that means I have never met you. And I don't speak to strange men. Goodbye." CC,"26 plus years? You must be 6 years old." Augusta, "You're so transparent you’re about to disappear." Gawd I love 1986!

Stability would have been nice. I can't see the video for some reason. But Stability would have been good.

I need to discuss my biggest problem from the past few weeks, and it's a big one: ever since Santana and Cruz on the beach, James Taylor's Fire and Rain has been stuck in my head. And I want it OUT!!!!

I just watched the episodes with CC and Sophia on the ferry. They are so fun. OMG that airhorn is just hysterical! And she's right CC, you stubborn ass- you wuv her! And then they throw in Mason and Gina. Every comment that Mason made was really just him saying what the viewers at home were saying. And oh yeah, why is everyone so down on Mason? I love his sassy, sarcastic self! And why does he want a real wedding and honeymoon? Because he desperately WANTS someone to love. Brick is just so contrary. To Sophia, I don't want to know you better. Fifteen minutes later, that's my mother on that ferry!

My affiliate was one of the ones that had dropped SB by that point. For now, I'm only at Winter of 86, so I've got GREAT stuff coming very soon. I don't need to worry about the end yet. I mean, JA has only been CC for 30 episodes. He just confessed to Mary that he can't get Sophia out of his mind. And the Lockridges are still living in their own house! I'm on the edge of greatness.

More Lockridges is a very good thing.

I can't answer that because I was gone by then. The dinner at the Capwells where Mason turns on CC and Eden is fighting her Lisa personna seems interesting. I've seen the scenes. I don't know all of the people in that scene though. Brick and Jane moved to wherever she came from (South Carolina, Georgia?)

I think that he was someplace else and people think he was about to get SORASed, but it didn't happen. I would be very interested in when Johnny Wallace grew up and discovered that he was really a king. That could have been great.

Yeah, but soaps aren't known for being good at Math. Sophia was a starlett in the late 60's. Then she became the stepmother to Marcello, who was a kid in the early 40's, who was angry at CC for something that happened in '44 at the latest. CC was an adult when that happened, at least 42 years ago. But CC and Lionel are supposed to be the same age- but only sometimes. And by the time Minx found the fountain of youth and became 30 some years younger, it simply no longer made sense. 😀😀 And also, this is the only show where children didn't get sucked into weird Star Trek Time Vortexes where they go in as children and come out teenagers.

You are probably right. I'm only just now learning the back stage stuff. I didn't pay attention then.

I thought Julia was supposed to be the spoiler for Mason and Victoria. But the viewers hated Victoria, and the chemistry between Mason and Julia was so much better that it didn't work out that way.
