Did Father Michael get a proper send-off?

I just realize now how many characters were written out with so little fanfare its like they were here today gone tomorow in most cases

Did Nick Hartley or Pearl get proper exit storyline?

[amybrickwallace]

I think all of those characters just vanished with no explanation.

Thanks amybrickwallace. Thats how i remember it but i was like 10 when it all played out. Did Nick Hartley and Jeffrey Conrad fought over Kelly or was the actor who played Nick already gone by the time the show paired Kelly with Mason's half-brother?

I always thought Kelly was far better with Dylan in terms of chemistry (what the show did with it is criminal if you ask me) but I also liked her with Nick. Jeffrey was a nice fit but I dont get why Nick and Kelly didnt work out after the Dylan debacle.

[amybrickwallace]

No, Nick was already long gone before Jeffrey came on the scene. I think Nick was last seen in the summer of 1986, and Jeffrey didn't appear until the very end of the year.

Sad news for those of us that remember the Father Michael/Sister Sarah story...

Sad to hear this. I've only seen a little of her work but she seemed very talented.

There's an SOD interview with her on page 7.

Someone put together a nice tribute video to Dane Witherspoon as Joe Perkins:

This is from the end of 2012, but I just found it. Here is Valorie Armstrong (Marisa Perkins, 1984-85) in a play called Mourning Glory:

February 1993 Digest

[amybrickwallace]

Thanks for posting that - but it just didn't seem like the same show by the end. Not just because so many familiar faces (most notably, Walker and Martinez) had already jumped ship but because the focus had shifted significantly away from the Capwells and Lockridge families. It sure would have been nice had some of the beloved familiar faces come back for the end.

[sungrey]

Amy, truer words were never spoken. I was a faithful fan from beginning to end, but by summer 1992 it was definitely a different show. It was starting to put the Capwells and Lockridges in the background, and that's when I kind of suspected the end was near.

[amybrickwallace]

I watched a 1992 episode on YT and was like, "Who are all these people"? SB had definitely lost what had made it unique in the first place.

What did people think about this Santana? She seems a little old to me.

I never bought her as Santana. Why they didn't keep Ava Lazar around in the first place is a mystery.
