Members chrisml Posted November 15, 2022 Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 And the Laura/Bunny/Annie story was one of my faves. I wish it had gone on longer but I am probably in the minority about that. I tended to like the crazy and outrageous characters. Flame was another of my favorite characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted November 15, 2022 Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 I haven’t gotten to the Bunny portion of this. Just a lot of Laura. It is close though, because Sasha is dead in Julia's freezer. Shes under ice now because the blackout melted her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted November 15, 2022 Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 I thought they missed so many opportunities with the character of Laura. Norris is such a good actress that I would have liked them to put her in other stories that didn't revolve around Ethan or Michael (although I liked the Michael/Laura story for a long while). Soaps just loved to turn female characters crazy when they didn't know what to do with them. While I liked crazy Laura, it was obvious the writers had no idea what to do with Laura once the Leo Mitchell story ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted November 16, 2022 Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 How did the Capwell mansion get the old look back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted November 16, 2022 Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 I don't think it ever did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted November 17, 2022 Members Share Posted November 17, 2022 It never did. It was remodeled in 1990 by the request of CC. The O.G. mansion was never seen again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted November 17, 2022 Members Share Posted November 17, 2022 Crystal Chappell is playing Jane the drug dealer. I'm sorry. I know this probably makes me a terrible person, but I can't see her without thinking of her buried in a coffin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted November 17, 2022 Members Share Posted November 17, 2022 I was always under the impression that the old Capwell set was back once Conboy was gone. After watching some random 1992 episodes, I realized that the mansion was no longer important to the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted November 17, 2022 Members Share Posted November 17, 2022 I don't think it's the fact it wasn't important. I'm pretty sure the budget did not allow for it to be openly used. Which is likely why the finale was pretty much outdoors. That's my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted November 18, 2022 Members Share Posted November 18, 2022 What were people's impressions of Sasha in the freezer? I'm seeing it for the first time and I'm rolling. Julia and NLG are so funny. Her comedic timing is perfect. It isn't the Julia I've always known, but it's easier for me to think of this show as SB 2.0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted November 18, 2022 Members Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Filed under hindsight is 20/20, but my objection to Laura's story are twofold. First, while Norris's performance fit with the wacky, silly, period of SB storytelling, there's something odd about using the mental health issues that arise from the loss of a child and the breakdown of a marriage for giggles, especially when played against such unsympathetic partners like Michael and Ethan. Two, I did not like that positioning of Laura as an antagonist made Gina into a damsel in distress which seemed out of character for such a longstanding member of the plot. So, while I was entertained by the story, looking back and knowing the future direction of Gina, the flaws stick out in my memory.

Members Beach Climber Posted November 18, 2022 Members Share Posted November 18, 2022 I thought it was hilarious, especially when they had her singing. However, it was definitely campy and Julia going along with Mason’s dumb plan wasn’t in character so I could why some had issues with it. It also had some pretty big effects on them later down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted November 18, 2022 Members Share Posted November 18, 2022 In my eyes this was not a suitable story for Mason and Julia. More of a Keith and Gina or Lionel and Augusta thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted November 20, 2022 Members Share Posted November 20, 2022 Could I ask, are these full episodes online somewhere in English? I can only find them in Russian or German. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keri Posted November 20, 2022 Members Share Posted November 20, 2022 There are some on YT. Mind some of the ones with Russian titles/channels have eps that are actually English. There are a bunch that have Eng in the title so you can tell, but some you have to check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
