I watched some episodes from 1979 and loved them. Not sure if it's my cup of tea, but so far it's been meaningful and interesting. And I adore Nola. The whole Mansion of The Damned storyline is starting very engaging. I may really give it a serious try, while I am taking a break from my other soaps.

Managed to binge from 6051 to now 6085.

I love this show.  Right now it's starting to rain outside with a thunderstorm coming and the whole mood if perfect for Mansion of the damned, Lol.

I also love that most characters have edge and so many villains lurking around.

Elliot is soo conniving. Raven is wretched and fun.

And Nola is a goddess.

I blame the bad weather and being home alone yesterday... but... I somehow managed to get to 6097! So I am nearly 50 episodes in in 2-3 days. It was great at first, but I was not familiar with any of the characters, now that I am... I am so happy I decided to give this soap a chance. The quality of the episodes is amazing and the audio too. I love the sets and the atmosphere. I cried when Raven left her child with April. Her monologue was so STRONG. I hate her and I also love her. I am HOOKED. Today I am having another semi-free day and again... home alone, and with the thunderstorms outside, me and the dog will probably have to binge another 10-15 episodes. Can't wait.

My favorite monologue is from Raven when she is leaving Monticello and "giving" Jamie to April and Draper.

"I want to fly, but not on a plane. No, No, I want wings of my own.  That's why I call myself Raven. See, I was the one that took that name when I was a little girl.  My real name is Charlotte.  Can you imagine? But, one day I was sitting on the lawn and I saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by.  I wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings..."

The build of the theme song also makes the dialogue really powerful.

@MaximI'm so glad that you're enjoying it, and envious at being able to watch it for the first time.

Isn't it remarkable the number of stories being juggled in a half hour show?  To me, the idea that drew me to EON is the way in which stories are interwoven.  You begin to think that a plot only involves a single set of characters, but all of a sudden others are drawn in, and you feel the impact of the event on their society.  The way in which plots don't just have a beginning, middle, and end, but they evolve into other stories is captivating.  

And the audacity to have Raven leave, mid-episode, not even on a Friday cliffhanger, is a choice that one would never see today.

I'm officially a fan. I just put the intro as my screensaver on my laptop. I am in complete and utter love with this show. I am so happy I have all 1979 till 1984 to watch - I think years are pretty much complete in YouTube.

Nola just put herself in the witch makeup for the first time. Sooo fun. I am also loving April's storyline. Margo and that psycho Elliot...There is not a single scene I find boring. The show goes in such fast pace. No melodramatic repeating. Just forward forward forward. And with such class.

Scarlet is getting these creepy phone calls and hearing church music...

The director of mansion of the damned just died of a heart attack.

I am so hooked I do nothing but watch this show all weekend.

I ruined all our family plans today... My husband is mad that I am preferring a classic soap opera than him.

Not able to stop watching. I am addicted.

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
