I love that Mason/Julia scene. While Lane Davies will always be my favorite Mason, Gordon Thomson did a great job!

Anyone know what time period this is from?

Judging by Julia's hair (sorry, but it is true!), around 1985, when she first appeared.

Thanks. Who is the man she's talking to early in the clip? Nancy does seem a little hesitant here.

I can never remember when Robert Newman was on the show. I guess it must have been in 1985 or early 1986.

They are talking bout David Lauraunte, Madeline Capwell Lauraunte's Husband Cant remember the actual story though.

Thanks.

SB ripped off the movie "Jagged Edge". Mason goaded Julia into representing David against the murder charge (of killing Madeline), Julia fell for him, managed to get him off, and then went they went away she found the bloody dumbbell that killed Madeline and David did other suspicious things including trying to break the bathroom door down with an ax when Julia locked herself in to avoid him. But as the ending went, Courtney Capwell confessed to killing her sister in self defense. I think David Laurent just slithered out of town, but I'm hazy on that part. (And I notice the clip says '86, but everything in the clip above seemed around '85 to me. Maybe it ran a while? Been so long...)

By the way, the guy Julia talked to early in the clip was Pearl.

Thanks. I thought that looked like Pearl but wasn't sure (at first I thought it might have been TJ or JT or whoever).

Why did he keep the dumbbell?

It's so strange seeing NLG dressed that way.

Gotta love '80s fashion sense or lack thereof. Since David wasn't the culprit, maybe he didn't know about the dumbbell, since Courtney did it? Otherwise, I have no idea. Plot contrivance 101? :-)

Julia normally dressed more professionally, didn't she (I guess this wasn't a professional setting)? I'm used to seeing NLG as Alexis, who, for many years, I assumed wore a suit to bed.

Julia was more casual when not in court. Much more relaxed than Alexis is/was.

Were there any characters you felt only certain writers truly understood, or was that not the case for anyone? Or any characters who weren't the same when they came back? Like Augusta. What did you think of her after Louise Sorel returned?

I love Louise Sorel, but I think Augusta floundered once the Dobsons were locked out. Probably why she left (only to return periodically). I don't think Pam Long "got" the Capwells/Lockridges, either (minus Warren, who was revealed to not even be a true Lockridge - which I called BS on), since they all but disappeared in any important capacity under her watch.

Thanks.

Sorry to keep asking stupid questions, but SOD carped at SB for a scene where Kelly ran down the airport runway after Cruz left. Do you remember that? Was it bad?

I was also going to ask about a clip of the 1992 Christmas, where CC was in dual roles, or playing two versions of himself. What was that about?
