Members Maxim Posted May 1 Members Share Posted May 1 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 2 Members Share Posted May 2 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 3 Members Share Posted May 3 (edited) 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.

Members j swift Posted May 3 Members Share Posted May 3 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted May 3 Members Share Posted May 3 (edited) @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.

Members Sapounopera Posted May 3 Members Share Posted May 3 1979 TEON is such a modern soap. I love these episodes. No teens, no big families, just cops, lawyers, reporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 3 Members Share Posted May 3 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 4 Members Share Posted May 4 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. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
