Funny that you posted that. I just started re-watching the Cruz/Eden edits that SlutNamesWereUsed posts on YouTube- picked up right where I left off- 1987, Cruz, Eden, and Pearl search for Kelly in Zurich. All these years later and I'm still in love with this show. They've just boarded the Orient Express and Cruz and Eden are talking to a couple that are having similar problems to the ones that caused their latest breakup (Eden's jealousy of Victoria Lane). Even the guest actors are amazing! I just can't believe it's over, to this day. I miss it like no other program ever and I don't think a day will ever go by that I don't.

Thank GOD for YouTube, though I'd KILL to be able to re-watch the entire series on DVD. 1985-1990 were simply magic IMO and I'll never be invested in another soap quite like I was in this one. I used to wonder if that magic was only because I was a kid when I was watching and I can now safely say it wasn't. As an adult, I can appreciate the intelligent, thoughtful writing that went into each episode. They just don't make em like SB anymore.

A French SB site (which has an English site) has posted an interview with Erin Moore, who played Mason and Julia's daughter, Samantha, from around 1988 'til the show's end in 1993. Cute interview. But check out her picture.

Her resemblance to on-screen mom NLG is quite something!

I spent some time looking through the Capridge and Santa Barbara Homepage. I wonder if anyone out there knows who played Vanessa DeFranko's brother Luigi the priest, Irene the DAs secretary, and Frank Pressman, Shannon the nurse's father. I remember Frank looked like actor Liam Sullivan[vet of many soaps], but I never got confirmation. Thanx 4 any help.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
