Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Wasn't Stephanie Martin the one that was framed Nicole or something along the lines of that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Stephanie Martin was terrorizing Nicole, but ended up getting stabbed in the back (literally) and killed. Nicole found the body, and without thinking, pulled out the knife (at the insistence of Stephanie's mute daughter, Debbie, who suddenly found her voice long enough to scream, "Pull it out! Pull it out!" With her fingerprints all over the murder weapon, and with the police not believing that the mute Debbie could have spoken, Nicole went on trial for Stephanie's murder. Another excellent mystery/suspense saga, woven by the masterful Henry Slesar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Did you get to see story too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Oh yes. I was fortunate enough to be an avid soap watcher throughout the genre's glory years. I watched all the greats: Henry Slesar's TEON, William J. Bell's DAYS and Y&R, Pat Falken Smith's DAYS and GH, Agnes Nixon's AW, TGL, AMC and OLTL, Douglas Marland's GH, Irna Phillip's ATWT, Harding Lemay's AW, Claire Labine's LoL and R'sH...the list is endless. As I have mentioned before, the writing used to be so great in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, did not even realize at the time how blessed and spoiled I was too see the master writers at the top of their game. I believed that soaps would always be well-written, adult, and thought-provoking. Little did I know that viewers would eventually end up going from William J. Bell to Charles Pratt, from Irna Phillips to Jean P., from Pat Falken Smith to James Reilly. AAAAAAGH!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Lucky you! Again, I'd give anything to see soaps from the 70s (outside of The Doctors, which is airing now, & RH, which I watched on SoapNet) b/c they seemed to be at their most daring during that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Daring, literate, adult. Those days are long gone, alas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 27, 2017 Members Share Posted March 27, 2017 Agreed. Even though those shows had their own problems, they are still heads and shoulders above anything that is on now!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scrapple Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 I vividly remember the Stephanie Martin case, even though I was very young. It was riveting, and the actress who played Stephanie (Alice Hirson, maybe?) was excellent, and made you understand why everyone in town wanted to kill her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 What did she do to everyone to make them wanna kill her? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 29, 2017 Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yes, it was Alice Hireson, and she was perfectly cast for that complex role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted March 29, 2017 Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Alice hirson....she's the actress who played Ellen D's mom in Ellen right? I cant imagine her playing such a cold blooded person. Fascinating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 29, 2017 Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 One woman was married to a man in Monticello at that time who was in love with her. The other woman had been married to a man Nicole had had an affair with or something. I think he had died and she blamed Nicole. I would pay money to see that storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Scrapple Posted March 30, 2017 Members Share Posted March 30, 2017 I loved how all the suspects had their moment in the spotlight in the courtroom. Sometimes the show would entirely consist of one person on the witness stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
