Anyone who's interested ... I found it interesting that a family tree shown in the Feb 5 1987 issue of Soap Opera Digest listed Sophia's second husband as "Armand Armonti."  Had no clue they ever named the Count.

Thanks. That seems like a parody name...or someone who would have conspired with Angela Channing for about 3 weeks in 1986.

I am planning to jump back into this show since I never watched it from the beginning. Can someone give me a reasonable episode to restart with? I dropped it just a few weeks after Marcy Walker joined, it is so deadly boring. When does it get better??

It gets better in January 1985 with the start of the serial killer storyline. It starts out of nowhere with episode 114.

If you go back a week though, to 109, you can see the start of Cruz and Eden as an official couple, with Cruz manhandling Eden, tackling her to the floor, treating her like crap --  that time period's way of showing how much chemistry they would have..

The storyline from 109 that Cruz and Eden are in about a sunken ship gets dropped as Cruz eventually becomes the chief cop investigating the serial killer. From the start, Cruz is laughably terrible at his job, letting the killer easily escape, inadvertently giving the killer the heads up as to where his victim will be, etc.
