Santa Barbara Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

I love Marcy Walker in this first scene. I think playing a huge bitch before she played a heroine meant she could play that aggressiveness.

Poor Marcy Walker. This must be one of the worst photos ever.

Woohoo! I have this issue and I specifically buying off of the newstand (I was all of 12 at the time) just for this article because I was determined to watch the premiere of a new soap opera (which I'd never gotten to do before).

[DRW50]

And you kept it this long? You're good. Any old magazines I have usually end up looking like they were put in a shredder.

Interview with Page Moseley.

Holy [!@#$%^&*]! Carl, thanks... I thought Page was pretty good, especially when he became a little unhinged about Kelly (and not surprised that Robin Wright was particularly snotty toward him)... like most stories in that period, it suffered because I don't think they really knew what to do with Nick/Kelly/Dylan.

I will say, Dylan's death was the catalyst for the stolen videotape which Gina used to blackmail CC into marriage, so the story turned out to be pretty damn good in the end.

That picture of Robin leaning over the boat railing is hot. Purposely suggestive, the way they're posed? #havingaSoapsudsmoment

[DRW50]

Probably. It's a very striking image.

Robin was beautiful and usually did her best, rarely phoning it in. It's a shame her bad behavior then and bad memories now cloud what could have been a nice run.

[SFK]

So what exactly was she guilty of? The show made it difficult for her to do outside projects, right?

[DRW50]

Yes. Beyond that, she was involved with Dane Witherspoon (who played her boyfriend, Joe Perkins). He was abruptly fired, and she was very upset about this. She didn't get on well with a number of her love interests after this, including the replacement Joe, and apparently Mosely as well.

[DRW50]

Love Elena in this.

September 1992 Digest

[Wildside]

Thanks for Forry Smith's article CarlD2.

I'm surprised about the statements of Page Moseley of his departure of Santa Barbara and his bad relationship with Robin Wright.

I think that the storyline of the videotape is one of the best of SB.

[DRW50]

Thanks for your comments! I haven't seen a lot of the tape story but what I have seen is good viewing. Dylan seems so skeevy though, I don't know why Kelly slept with him.

So who were your favorites? Did you watch at the time it aired?

There's also a lot of good discussion here.
