Funny that you posted that. I just started re-watching the Cruz/Eden edits that SlutNamesWereUsed posts on YouTube- picked up right where I left off- 1987, Cruz, Eden, and Pearl search for Kelly in Zurich. All these years later and I'm still in love with this show. They've just boarded the Orient Express and Cruz and Eden are talking to a couple that are having similar problems to the ones that caused their latest breakup (Eden's jealousy of Victoria Lane). Even the guest actors are amazing! I just can't believe it's over, to this day. I miss it like no other program ever and I don't think a day will ever go by that I don't.

Thank GOD for YouTube, though I'd KILL to be able to re-watch the entire series on DVD. 1985-1990 were simply magic IMO and I'll never be invested in another soap quite like I was in this one. I used to wonder if that magic was only because I was a kid when I was watching and I can now safely say it wasn't. As an adult, I can appreciate the intelligent, thoughtful writing that went into each episode. They just don't make em like SB anymore.

A French SB site (which has an English site) has posted an interview with Erin Moore, who played Mason and Julia's daughter, Samantha, from around 1988 'til the show's end in 1993. Cute interview. But check out her picture.

Her resemblance to on-screen mom NLG is quite something!

I spent some time looking through the Capridge and Santa Barbara Homepage. I wonder if anyone out there knows who played Vanessa DeFranko's brother Luigi the priest, Irene the DAs secretary, and Frank Pressman, Shannon the nurse's father. I remember Frank looked like actor Liam Sullivan[vet of many soaps], but I never got confirmation. Thanx 4 any help.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
