Members John Posted April 1, 2019 Members Share Posted April 1, 2019 Dane Withersppon looked to very popular. Why was he fired after 13 weeks and replaced. Makes zero sense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 I don't think we'll ever know the whole story on that one. Robin Wright never had nearly as popular a pairing on SB after him. To those of you who watched the show originally, were Kelly and Jeffrey a big draw? I know Ross Kettle was on the show for a couple of years and got an Emmy nomination, but I just never really saw any sparks with those two. Still, he was light years better than the Hartley brothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 True...I don't think we ever got the full or real story. It is bizarre since his character was the center of the show at the beginning. By early spring, Joe was already dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 Well, Joe's recasting and killing was just one of many changes made in the early days. The Perkins family was eliminated, the Andrades as good as gone, recasts, changes in story etc Was it NBC wanting immediate results from their investment? Or the Dobsons being too panicky and /or mercurial with their creation? Someone should write a book! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 True....SB went through so many changes...chronicling those 8 years would be a fun read. When it was striking on all cylinders, I still think it was the best soap of all time, especially 86-89 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goldensoaps Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 Someone wrote a book some years ago...with a complete episode guide and a lot of facts about SB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 I think it really started to hit its stride in the summer of 1985 and stayed that way until about 1990. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted April 4, 2019 Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 I always felt the show was a little ahead of its time, too. Still miss it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 Agreed!! I was watching some 1985 episodes, and had to laugh when Ted and Christie got jobs at the Orient Express. Why did Eden have her waiters and waitresses dress like movie theater ushers? Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted April 6, 2019 Members Share Posted April 6, 2019 Poor Ted never quite took off as a character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 6, 2019 Members Share Posted April 6, 2019 I never understood why they never gave Todd McKee more to do. He was handsome and could actually ACT, plus he had a natural easy chemistry with his screen partners. I especially loved the brotherly relationship Mason and Ted had under Davies and McKee. They balanced each other out very well. Mason was brooding and pessimistic, while Ted was easygoing and optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted April 7, 2019 Members Share Posted April 7, 2019 I caught up with SB when you could watch episodes on YT and I was always perplexed why Ted was always treated as an afterthought. McKee was sexy and talented. Why not give him more to do? As good as the show was, they never seemed to tell a compelling story that did not involve the Capwells in some way. I had also forgotten all of the sexual violence. Who was responsible for all that? Am I wrong or was nearly every female character raped at some point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted April 7, 2019 Members Share Posted April 7, 2019 Michael Bairnard who was Ted #2 never felt like Ted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 7, 2019 Members Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Nope. Though there were some decent recasts of the Capwell kids (Carrington Garland, Gordon Thomson) - to me the "real" Capwell siblings will always be Lane Davies, Marcy Walker, Robin Wright and Todd McKee.
