Pam Long didn't see her as a heroine- she saw her as a sexed up vamp.  Ironically, the only interesting thing about Long's tenure was the Angela/Ted relationship she created.  But, only seeing her as a vamp and not a heroine, there was no follow-through, Ted ended up with Lily, Angela ended up alone, and Nina Arvesen was one of 2 or 3 cast members who didn't appear on the last episode.  I believe her last appearance was on the 3rd or 4th to last ep.  It was a total missed opportunity.  The Dobsons liked writing for her and saw the potential.  That changing of the guard in the writers' room never should have happened.

 

Well that was stupid that Pam Long didn't see her as a heroine AND a vamp character too b/c Reva was a heroine and smutty too, and that was Pam Long's greatest creation. Maybe this is why he possible did wanna do that b/c she'd assume people would think that she was trying to do Reva over again, which isn't bad. All great writers borrow from their previous works. 

 

That storyline was the Dobsons.  People complain about their second tenure and I really don't get it.  They managed to keep me invested in the show for the first 8 months after Marcy left, which was no easy feat.  They also created a new heroine that I fell in love with- Angela!

Who remembers the Kenny Rogers song in this video?

 

Peabo Bryson, anyone?

Holy crow that song. I was watching the first couple months of SB on You Tube a while back and it was like every other scene that song played! I liked Kelly and Joe but good lord it doesn't need to be every time they see or think about each other.

 

Is it me or does Kimberly McArthur (who is near the last few minutes of this clip) look a lot like Brad's psycho wife on Y&R? I wonder if they might have been better off replacing Robin Wright with her...

 

 

Lynn Harbaugh played Lisa on Y&R...

 

I didn't initially think of them as resembling each other. Now looking closely, I see that there's something with the eyes. But Lynn had this Stevie Nicks / Gypsy vibe...

 

What would have been better is if they'd found Carrington Garland about 9 months sooner - and kept her about 16 months longer!

No offense, but did Carrington Garland really look that much like Marcy Walker?

Wanted to add instance of "really"

Why does this seem like a JFP trademark to me?

 

Oh good another temp recast. I always enjoy those. He has an...interesting interpretation. Who is the actor? He could have fit in on Sledge Hammer. He also has the "dirty hot" vibe...

 

This must have been strike material.

 

I swear any time I see a clip from 86-88 there is Tori with that awful quavering voice. So many wonderful characters had no chance on SB and she just dragged on and on and on.

Robin Strand... Did a ton of prime time episodic work in the 80's. He was a main cast member of Berrenger's, one of NBC's short-lived entries into prime time soaps.

Thanks. The uploader told me too. They should have had him come back instead of the other recast a few years later. 

 

Watching the full clip, Tori/Kristen Meadows is a lot better in the last segments where she nearly tells Cruz the truth and then holds Samantha. I wish she had been like that more often.
