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.

      Okay, draglover, sorry I have now found a blonde in drag. Just didn't see them before. I had to watch it very slowly. Anyway, it's DAYS - Vivian - Ivan again, blonde this time, red head looking like a fortune teller in the other pic. Same actor/character/show.

      The blonde drag is also Ivan, I believe. The long straight black wig is Peter Barton when he was playing Eddie on Sunset Beach.

      Sorry, I don't know the non-AW ones. In addition to the 2x Cass disguised himself as Krystle (1984 to hide from Tony Jones, 1994 investigating Felicia's disappearance), there was one occasion in October 1987 where Cass imposter Rex Allingham dressed as a woman and, claiming to be Nicole's Aunt Blanche, disrupted her date with another man. (At the time I don't think the audience yet knew that it wasn't Cass.)

      THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.

      JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. He might become close to Ed and Michelle, similar to how Ed had taken Kelly under his wing years earlier. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).

      Notes I've made of skipped or faulty YouTube episodes are (I'll put in brackets the faulty ones, the rest are skipped episodes), that would be amazing if they could be replaced by higher quality Netherlands copies when they become available: 

      Please register in order to view this content

      S13: 3170, 3172, 3181 (faulty), 3203 (faulty), 3223 (faulty), 3255, 3278 (faulty), 3345, 3361 (faulty) S14: 3399, 3455 (faulty), 3479 (faulty), 3509 (faulty), 3555 (faulty end credits), 3580, 3600 (faulty), 3613 (faulty) S15: 3658 (faulty), 3667, 3668, 3669, 3670, 3674, 3678, 3679, 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686, 3690, 3692, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3699, 3709 S16: 4058, 4059, 4109 S17: 4137, 4194, 4262, 4284, 4358, 4362, 4371 S18 so far skipped: 4450, 4451. There may be further S18 episodes to replace in English if there are any further skips on YouTube, as many episodes from this season are just in German in the vault, and if they skip those, then we probably have to wait for an eventual Netherlands airing unless someone currently has them in English (currently the German ones needing to replace to full English for S18 are: 4477, 4485, 4486, 4492, 4493, 4494, 4497, 4514, 4515, 4518, 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4526, 4531, 4538, 4541, 4575, 4612 - hopefully YouTube will not skip these, and they won't be a problem to fix). Also, jumping ahead a bit to future seasons, but does anyone have full English speaking copies of any of 4852, 4897, 5275, 5308, 5590, 5591, 5594 (as these are not in full or at all in English in the vault as far as I can tell)? Many thanks if you do! A million thank yous to all Angels helping out with these.

      I found the reference in the AWHP synopses -- it was 1995 but not directly related to the loanshark.
