Another of my minority opinions, I liked Sonny.

I'm at the point where Mason and Sonny are having talks in the mirror. It's getting annoying for me. But it's 1988 and a lot is annoying me. 

And I still miss Lionel!

[Contessa Donatella]

They seemed like they could do those scenes forever! I was just lucky that I was so fond of Lane Davies. I lived in Dalton, GA & he was from there. And, he was definitely a  most favored native son.

[Marissa Gallant]

Oh, I bet. I do love Lane Davies, he is a lot of fun to watch. I think the fact that it's so hot has me grumpy about everything this week. And I wasn't looking forward to Andrea's death. But that happened today for me. Good acting, but I would like ANYTHING happy to happen soon. Because this all-consuming rape storyline isn't happy. And I hate Scott. He's too angry. And Heather is dullsville.

And about the rape sl, obviously the attacker is out of his mind. He target's CRUZ's woman? Then goes after CC's daughter and wife? Nope. I wouldn't try that.

It takes a serious level of crazy to try that.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, Lane is fun to watch. He used to try to get roles in as many pilots as he could manage where the show would have a high probability of NOT getting picked up. Then, he had banked some major bucks for 13 episodes of pilot but was also free to do what he loved, which was theatre. And, we fans enjoyed watching the pilots, usually sitcoms.

But, yeah, the rapist is really something. If you don't know who it is yet, you're gonna die! Have you had that scene yet where Eden tells Cruz about this rape storyline with characters named Linc & Linda? With a producer named Bonty? One big dig at L&L/GH!

[Marissa Gallant]

I know who it is. Just disgusting. Yes, that dig at L&L was kinda awesome, because YEAH GROSS and not romantic. Fortunately I'm only a handful of episodes away from Augusta. It will help.

Not a fan of tormented priest stories. (I'm looking at YOU Thorn Birds). So the Michael/Julia story is falling flat. Boswell is a cheap replacement for Keith. 

Victoria is- well Victoria. 

Just not a fan of 88...

[~bl~]

I was a it is 1988 and a writing strike so of course it made less sense apologist for Santa Barbara.

[Contessa Donatella]

That's right, that devastating strike!

[Contessa Donatella]

I liked their holding up a mirror to L&L as much as I like Marland quitting over making it a seduction & PFS objecting even if she didn't quit. But, SB the year of Eden's rape was just so hard. So hard to watch, just gotta get through it. Soon enough!

[Marissa Gallant]

AUGUSTA!!!! FINALLY!!! She's back for the wedding. She is at her house talking to Gina and Sonny/Mason. Sonny: Bunny can stay in a different room.

Augusta: Are you raising rabbits here? If you are, it doesn't matter. 

Me: Because I once ate my daughter's pigeon in this very room.

I don't know WHY anyone in this town would want to be a lawyer. No one in this town who is accused EVER actually listens to their lawyers advice.

Again guys I am really desperate... is there a way for someone to help me watch the episodes...  are there playlists unlisted or other sites than youtube... thank you in advance

[Keri]

Just search YT. I don't get why this is difficult? If you search santa barbara soap and the ep number you want some will come up.

There is a guy from Russia or somewhere in Eastern Europe I think who has posted some around 800s I dunno what else he has. 

[Marissa Gallant]

I believe soap central has episodes. But the only one I know for certain is you tube. You can create playlists there.
