Any Capitol Fans Here?

[SFK]

BTW, the person putting up the clips about season previews makes me feel like they're sitting on a bunch of episodes and they've got this site somewhere out there where they're showing them but I can't find it because it's in Italian or whatever

Looks like almost an hour and a half of Capitol material. Some of the start has Billy Warlock so I guess this is around 1984, 1985?

Who was the woman with Wally (his girlfriend) at about 20 minutes? She is supposed to be prim and proper I guess, although that doesn't stop her from doing some ass-grabbing.

Awwe, I LOVEd Brenda (LG's version) and Wally.

That woman is veronica (Ronnie) D'Angeloe the daughter of Danny Donato, the Mob guy Wally owed money too. They were supposed to be like star crossed lovers, but wally and brenda became very popular. So as Wally's feelings for Brenda came flooding out, Ronnie started scheming and her good girl image changed, I think she ended up doing Jordy as well.

[DRW50]

So Jordy traded how many women with the McClandess brothers?

I thought Brenda/Wally was something planned, it's interesting to know otherwise. Were they still popular once Leslie Graves left?

Leslie has a real vulnerability about her. She is very believable as the rich girl who doesn't quite fit into the family and isn't sure what she wants, but she's going to do whatever she can at high energy levels.

It's kind of tough to separate Leslie and Bill Beyers onscreen from real life, but they have nice chemistry together.

It's so weird for me to picture Julie/Brenda/Trey/Jordy as siblings, for some reason.

When I met Marj, she told me that she didn't go to Washington at all when they shot this, she did all of her scenes in the studio as seen here. John Conboy was upset because it rained! I don't blame him!

Myrna: ...the third.

What time period was this?

[SFK]

1984. I'd like to read this article. There's also one by our Connie/Marlena re: cancellation.

Finally finished the Brenda/Wally clips and silly as it sounds, I feel a little sad How long after these did Leslie leave? Was her departure a big loss for the show? To me she just exudes such an endearing star quality in this - a kid sister, but also a beautiful, maturing young lady. She and Wally just seem special together. I can't tell you how much I love the scene in the second clip where they start to dance, and they slowly clasp hands, caught up in the moment.

Who was the curly haired woman in the white dress who congratulated Trey on his wedding?

[SFK]

That's Maggie, Trey's secretary, who Myrna used to drive to distraction whenever she swung by the Capitol.

I'm not sure about the timeline for Leslie. We Love Soaps should do a multi-part interview with Conboy as the thirtieth anniversary is coming up.

[DRW50]

Was Maggie around the whole run of the show?

Julie Parrish left three years in. Not sure if she was related to Dawn Parrish who played Ronnie. I never watched 90210 but she was on there as Joan Diamond if you remember who that is.

[DRW50]

I never watched 90210 either. We should form a club.

Julie played the Betty role on Return to Peyton Place, but was let go close to the end, replaced by Lynn Loring in a ratings grab.
