I guess it's safe to say that Robin Wright effectively stopped being the top female star on Santa Barbara when the Joe Perkins and Peter Flint characters were killed off in early 1985.  Would you agree with me, juniorz1?

 

BTW, juniorz1, you might want to check this out.  You have to excuse me.  I don't want Marcy Walker's accomplishments as an actress to be marginalized because she mainly did daytime soaps and wasn't a mainstream A-lister.

Yeah, Téa Leoni was in more than one episode, but wasn't around too long. She was a fill in Lisa DiNapoli for Tawny Kitaen. No idea what necessitated the substitution, but Kitaen eventually returned to play out the rest of Lisa's storyline. I recall she was the leak to Robert Barr during the Capwell Enterprises takeover story, but was blackmailed or whatever for her to do it.

 

Lisa was written as a sympathetic character. Of the three DiNapoli sisters, she seemed to get the meatiest stuff. (Signy Coleman's character, ex-prostitute Celeste, was stuck mooning over boring Dr. Scott Clark and in competition with Michael Donnelly's sister, fellow doc Heather, for him. I think both ladies deserved better. Ironically, of course, Coleman and Irizarry met during that storyline and married in real life, having their daughter before they split. Another such couple with the same circumstances and ending was Roscoe Borne and Roberta Bizeau/Weiss, who obviously played Flame Beaufort to his Robert Barr and Quinn.)

 

And Emily? (Surprised I recall her name, she was sooooo bland) married C.C.'s newly-discovered (and fast forgotten) son, Greg, after a courtship of nothing but dull sex and horrible Michael Bolton songs accompanying it, and they mercifully left town to go bore folks elsewhere. And neither were ever mentioned again, as far as any mentions of C.C.'s kids went. And no one cared.

Wow! These scenes are perfect. Marcy and Robin are great. When I see this, I remember why I hate so much the relationship between Eden and Kelly’s version made by Carrington Garland.

See the difference

 

 

 

It looks like a different show written by other writes.

 

I have not anything against Carrington but her version of Kelly was just other character not Kelly. The same with Terry Lester as Mason. Nothing to do with the original role.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
