Any Capitol Fans Here?

I didn't know Todd Curtis played the trumpet.

No cue cards? No wonder so many of their young actors struggled early on.

I only saw the episodes where Lizbeth slept with Jordy and Thomas broke up with her. It's kind of sad reading the article knowing what would happen. I didn't know they'd had Thomas try and fail to correct his handicap. That's rare on soaps.

Teri Hatcher

I recognized her by the character name, although at first I thought it was Joanna Going (who wasn't on this show obviously).

I didn't know she was married to Trey on the show. Do you remember her?

[SFK]

I do not. First time I ever saw TH was Soapdish.

That's a very nicely written article. Very sad, too young.

When Leslie Graves died, also too young and of AIDS-related illness, SOD only printed a blurb. It would have been nice if they had cast and crew share thoughts and memories like here.

I guess by then it was seen as passe, or the soap magazines were being dumbed down. I think Weekly printed a nice letter about her, and about Dack Rambo and others from daytime who had died from AIDS.

A very kind Youtube poster had the ads for the 12/19/86 CBS Daytime lineup, and has also uploaded the episodes of that day. This is the first part.

Yeah, the Italian opening and closing themes were so much sleeker and sexier, I guess because the show was shown in primtime, and well, in Italy. The original themes did feel more political/stately.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Vaseline commercial. Thanks for sharing this Carl! You kinda have to look away and let your eyes roll back into place every few minutes. I wonder if Russell played the actual crash then they switched back to Todd for the first hospital scenes. At least that's how I would have done it.

Russell Todd Curtis, just got that.
