To be fair, there's no established rubric for “greatest”.  One could argue “most popular” or “most romantic”.  But, to me, greatest assumes there is no ranking because everyone on the list is better than good.

The quirky romantic couple of Mason and Julia definitely deserved their spot...always loved them. 

Regarding Cruz and Eden, well anything out of the top 10 is a gross anomaly (Not being biased here, maybe a little bit ((-:). The kinda impact their pairing had and still does judging by the euphoria around their reunion recently is really unmatched. There seems to be a recency bias and also a case of out of sight out of mind syndrome, especially with Marcy being out of the limelight for so long...its easy to discredit there pairing.

From the beginning, Santa Barbara always had a great musical score. From 1984 on, many of the couples and the main characters had their own little theme. My favorites are the ones they had for Santana in 1984 and for Peter; it captured aspects of the character; for Santana, her spunkiness, for Peter his sleaze. I also like the score they had for Peter in 1985 when he becomes the Carnation killer; very spooky!

Does anyone know when Pearl's first ep was? I'm watching 331 (Kirk storyline) I'm wondering if it's this but not sure.

Cruz is at the police station and Pearl looks a bit rough and kind of offers to sell him a tip about Eden- Pearl had seen something the night CC's life support went down

As an aside- it is beyond ridiculous that Cruz was investigating the incident. Talk about conflict of interest.

Didn't the French SB site used to have the Bible up online?  

I'd love to read it.  It was on this discussion thread that someone summarized much of the original bible from memory.  I was intrigued that there was supposed to be a past shared by C.C. and Augusta.  I wonder if the last minute recast of Lloyd Bochner altered their plans?

The show gave more attention to the wedding of Kelly and Joe then I thought they would, considering he gets killed off 3 weeks later. I thought they would do a small, quick, civil ceremony. Instead, the entire cast shows up to a church nicely dressed, and special guest, and CC's friend, Jeffrey Osborne comes and lip-synchs some tunes. I thought the Cruz and Eden dance to one of his tunes at the reception in the Capwell mansion looks like what you'd see today from couples on Dancing with the Stars who get immediately voted off

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
