Members j swift Posted July 13, 2018 Members Share Posted July 13, 2018 Did you ever notice that a signature of the Conboy producing style is a tracking shot through an archway into a rich family's cream and beige living room? It is as if the audience is eve dropping on the action. I know he was neither a set decorator nor a director but, there were definitely similarities across his shows. Looking at the daily opening scenes of Capitol and SB, the Clegg's and the Capwell's both had the same shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 14, 2018 Members Share Posted July 14, 2018 Certainly, noticed it mostly on Capitol at the Cleggs', they loved to do a shot through the wrought iron in the foyer into the living room. Lots of shots through carafes and decanters as well. Not sure if this was done on LIAMST, but Y&R definitely gets credited for pioneering this under Conboy. I noticed shots like these on Y&R in the mid-'90s when I first started watching regularly when he was long gone. The Clegg mansion has got to be one of the largest soap private home sets ever, and without question, one of the most stunning and iconic. Had the show lasted, I can't imagine how they could've updated it without ruining it. It's such a perfect moment in time, and I would have loved to see it go on virtually unchanged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JarrodMFiresofLove Posted July 14, 2018 Members Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) They made great use of the stairway, including the top landing. The Clegg home was practically a character in its own right. The bedrooms were exquisite, as well as Dylan's quarters. Nothing cheap about any of it. The sets for the McCandless home and Kelly's place were equally stunning, and they found perfect exteriors to go with the studio interiors. Everything was classy. Even the hospital sets had an extra flair we don't see on other soaps. Edited July 14, 2018 by JarrodMFiresofLove 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted September 15, 2018 Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 This is a soap I wish had survived into the 90s and thereafter. It was created during the 80s and from what I read..the final product that debuted differed from what the bible intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JarrodMFiresofLove Posted September 30, 2018 Members Share Posted September 30, 2018 Ed Nelson who played Senator Mark Denning was on the show from 1982 to 1987, not 1986 as reported above. His character was killed off in mid-January 87 so he did appear in several episodes in '87. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JarrodMFiresofLove Posted October 1, 2018 Members Share Posted October 1, 2018 Great! I have all the weekly plot summaries for Capitol from mid-85 to March 87, covering all of Henry Slesar and James Lipton's material. I may start posting them here for those who are interested... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JarrodMFiresofLove Posted October 1, 2018 Members Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Great. I just found the summaries on my computer. I actually have them back to March '85 when the Jarrett Morgan/Baxter McCandless storyline begins. That is also when Henry Slesar took over as the show's head writer. Here's the first week I have: 25th of February to 1st of March 1985 Trey realizes he's Scotty's father after Kelly admits she's the boy's mother. Hal suffers a heart attack before he and Kelly can leave town. Thomas begs Kelly not to leave since he wants to be part of her and Scotty's lives. Wally and Brenda decide not to have sex until after they're married. Cheetah agrees to move in with Nino. Thomas is suspicious when Zed talks about an ''old friend'' who's paralyzed. Paula plots to reconcile Senator Josh Harrington and Trey. My notes: Lipton retconned Scotty's parentage at the end of '86, so we actually find out later that Sam is the boy's father and Trey's really his uncle. Viewers were not happy about it, but I can understand why Lipton did it-- because Kelly and Trey had run their course, and Kelly had more drama dealing with Sam as the boy's father. You can also see that Slesar is setting Thomas up with Kelly, though it takes two years for them to become an official couple, which doesn't occur until the show's last few episodes. Wally and Brenda are probably the show's most star-crossed pair. Zed's old friend is Jarrett/Baxter.

Members j swift Posted December 14, 2018 Members Share Posted December 14, 2018 I need a memory refresh on Matt McCandless. I recall that at the end of the serial in 1987 it was resolved that Matt was a member of the Royal Family of Baraq. However, I also recall that Christopher Durham left in 1984, following the revelation that his blind girlfriend was the daughter of Natalie Wood's sister and Sam Clegg and he was paying for her eye treatment in Europe. So, did Matt return at the end or was he just mentioned? Why involve him at all if he wasn't on-screen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
