Members Carlos Abad Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) I’ve read an article from 1984 that said NBC invested $12 million into the biggest and newest videotape production facility in the US designed specifically for a daytime drama. Bridget Dobson said that they had the largest and most exciting studio with sets that are unequaled. I can see that because this soap has many different sets compared to others and also some very big ones like the Capwell house. Still, I wish it has more exteriors. It’s great when you watch scenes on location. It makes the show more realistic. Edited February 17, 2023 by Connelly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 Yeah; you can tell, NBC was investing in this soap. Even in its final years, the remodeled Capwell set was still extravagant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 I started over too. I'm loving it, even though it's the wrong CC. I even enjoy the kids in LA story. Augusta just cooked Tina the pigeon. Augusta and Lionel are at the Capwells. And it's all just great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 I'm not accepting this excuse anymore. The strike didn't start until March. This was after the TJ affair, so I have to say it wasn't ALL the strikes fault 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmandainNC28655 Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 I used to watch this show as a teen ( I am 47 now). Is there anywhere I can watch the old episodes online??? I started watching around late 88 early 89. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted February 17, 2023 Members Share Posted February 17, 2023 RIP Stella Stevens (Phyllis Blake). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carlos Abad Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 R.i.p. And brilliant casting. Stella Stevens and Robin Mattson were perfectly cast together as mother and daugther duo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 Thanks. I haven't watched a great deal of this period. Do you think they should have kept her on longer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 Part of me wants to ditch the 900's and start over, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keri Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think Phyllis added some comedy with Gina that was nice after Keith left. But they didn't do much with it ultimately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 Is there a time on SB where you just lost interest and you were never invested in the show again? For me, it was when Roberta Bizeau was let go. I thought Flame was such a good character and had great potential, and then the backstage stuff just ruined it. I would read summaries and watch the occasional episode after that, but I never returned it as a faithful viewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keri Posted February 18, 2023 Members Share Posted February 18, 2023 For me it was when Marcy Walker left. I agree though, Flame was a great character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carlos Abad Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'm on episode 34. Jed Allan is the one and only C.C. Capwell for me, but Peter Mark Richman was quite good and now is out. Paul Burke, his replacement, is the worst. But it's interesting 3 Dynasty guys played C.C. Capwell (if we are counting Lloyd Bochner who was really the original C.C as we saw in the first promos from the first episode). Also I read Lloyd Bochner filmed a few scenes like the one in the harbor with Joe Perkins from episode 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Peter Mark Richman was my favorite CC from Santa Barbara 1984. Too bad they couldn't get him to continue. I will never understand how Paul Burke was so, so bad on Santa Barbara. He wasn't like that when he was the lead in Naked City and 12 O'Clock High, primetime shows of the 1960s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Well that was 20 years earlier. Maybe Burke was one of those actors that couldn't deal with the rigors of daytime, having to learn scripts quickly, not much rehearsal, multiple scenes in a day etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
