Stories,stars,scenes you'd like to see(again)

[Paul Raven]

The advent of YouTube and VCR means that a lot of the past and recent stuff is accessible.

But,still,a lot is not available.

What would you like to see?

Is it stuff you've already seen? or a performer,scene or story or showyou've read about but never had the chance to see?

Here's some of mine

Search For Tomorrow

Jennifer(Morgan Fairchild)walks through a plate glass window

Jo (Mary Stuart)grieving over the death of her son Duncan

Secret Storm

Joan Crawford at age 62 subbing for her 20 something daughter-apparently she was drunk throughout

Young & Restless

Erica Hope as Nikki

The Doctors

Sara's death scenes and Mike's reactions(often sited as one of the best of it's kind)

One Life To Live

Gillian Spencer as Viki

I would love to see some of The Best of Everything,the short lived soap from 1970 with movie stars Geraldine Fitzgerald,Gale Sondergaard,Patty McCormack(The Bad Seed) and Kathy Glass

What's on your wish list?

[Faulkner]

Well, I'd like to see Dru put Carmen in the chokehold in the breakroom on Y&R, but YouTube took it down. I get a kick out of that scene. If anyone has it, please send to me!

But other than that -

OLTL: Anything from the Carla Grey passing as white story

AMC: The Erica Kane "Woman of the Year" speech

Y&R: Kay's "lesbian" storyline

AW: Robin Strasser as Rachel

[Quent]

Edge Of Night: The Stephanie Martin murder case, where Nicole Travis was the prime suspect. Dark Shadows: The arrival of Barnabas Collins. As The World Turns: the death of Hal Munson.

[Desertrose]

I'd love to see "Love is a Many Spendored Thing"....with Leslie Charlson, Andrea Marcovicci, David Birney, MIchael Zazlow, Beverlee McKinsey, Bibi Besch & Donna Mills. They had quite the cast...used to love that show! Susan Lucci even had a bit part before AMC!!

" Love is a Many Splendored Thing" (TV series) ( from Wikipedia.org)

Love is a Many Splendored Thing is an American daytime soap opera which aired on CBS from Monday, September 18, 1967 to Friday, March 23, 1973. The series was created by Irna Phillips, who served as the first headwriter. She was replaced by Jane and Ira Avery in 1968, who were followed by Ann Marcus in late 1969. James Lipton served as the final headwriter. John Conboy was the producer.

I am almost 33 and never got to see:

Robin Strasser as Rachel on AW

I have seen some Beverley McKinsey on AW on Youtube and I would love to see more- She was AWESOME

ANY old Y&R- Especially the Cassandra Rawlins storyline, Ashley in the mental insttitution, David Kimble, and 1983-85 Brenda Dickson

Anything circa 85-86 Viki/Niki on OLTL- Great stuff on Youtube

Anything Andrea Evans 85-90 OLTL

Back when the mob was just a small part of GH- Duke/Anna/ OLIVIA 1989 GH

[SFK]

A few of the things above were once (and still are, really) on my list. I've seen a few eps of AW with Robin Strasser, an ep of OLTL with Gillian Spencer, a scene or two of early Carla Gray, but not nearly enough of any of them. I've also seen Beverlee McKinsey in LIAMST over at WoST.

I'd most like to see '70s OLTL, the beginning (all of the original core families, especially early Viki, Meredith, and a very much alive pre-monster Victor, and Carla and Sadie in the "passing" s/l) leading up to the mid-'70s with Dorian and Melinda's intro, the genesis of the Viki/Victor/Dorian Lord saga.

I "lived it", but I sure wouldn't mind reliving early/mid-'90s OLTL, especially the beginning of the Sloane Carpenter "Lord of the Banner" stuff.

I've seen some good Golden Era AW, probably about as much as I ever will, but I'd love to see more Alice/Steve/Rachel/Mac/Irs, along with Iris' birth mom Sylvie (Leora Dana) and the whole s/l of Iris' paternity, and Therese Lamont's (Nancy Marchand) infamous 'Bye Bye Blackbird' death scene on Iris' terrace.

My Hulu list:

-Lemay's Lovers and Friends/For Richer, For Poorer

-Capitol

-The City

[SFK]

Oh, and I remember watching it in high school and not even realizing it was her, but I would love another chance to see Beverlee McKinsey as Edward's old lover Myrna Slaughter on GH.

[Darn]

Y&R: Jill confronts Mac after prom. I can't find that scene anywhere, it was brilliant.

[SteveFrame]

I would love to see the late 1960's eppy of The Edge of Night where Donald May was the only actor to speak when he was defending Liz Hillyer.

I would also love to see the episode again where Mike & Nancy broke up. Another special episode where the only 2 characters to speak the whole episode were Mike & Nancy.

I would also love to see the premiere episode for The Edge of Night when it moved to ABC again. It was an awesome eppy - 1 hour special.

I would love to see the episode of Another World again where Steve Frame and Alice matthews got remarried in 1975. (the first 1 hour eppy).

Also for Search For Tomorrow, I would like to see again the eppys (any of them) when Joan Copeland as Andrea Whiting was on trial. And I would love to see Travis & Liza's wedding eppys again.

***********************

And for pure dirty old man reasons, I would love to see the episodes of Y&R where Doug Davidson and Don Diamont showed their butts again. Those were hot.

And I still want to see the episode of GH where after a sex scene with Holly, Anthony Geary gets up from the "bed" and the cameras accidentally caught "little Tony" and preserved him for prosterity. It got by the censors too. Tony Geary said that Gloria Monty allowed him to do love scenes completely nude and that one time the cameramen caught it all.

Rover, those were the days! I have hundreds of tapes from the good old days! I gotta get them on disc before they turn into dust! Viki pretending to be Niki pretending to be Viki....or was it the other way around? LOL!!!

[quartermainefan]

I would love to see the following:

OLTL

I can't explain it, but I would love to watch some classic Dr Ivan Kipling, maybe the scene where he got eaten by alligators in a swamp (I recall this for some reason)

Also, the entire Eterna saga. And Delilah's exit where she sings "The Lady Is A Tramp"

AMC I would love to see the scene where Palmer unmasks himself as the one who bankrupted Adam at Adam's masquerade party and the scene where Palmer finds Adam after Adam has a stroke. Also, the episode where Ross rapes Natalie and Palmer throws Natalie out. A scene I remember is Erica in some powder room where a parade of women come in to fight argue with her. (Brooke, Natalie, etc)

GH: Luke vs David Gray with the magical sword. Heather blackmailing her shrink, Dr Katz. Grant trying to kill Celia various ways.

DOOL: Don't kill me, but I would love to see when Marlena fell off the terrace and landed right on Sami.

[Paul Raven]

Edge of Night did some live location filming in the early days which would be fascinating to see.Apparently,they did a roof top shoot out in New York.

I would like to see the first Gloria Monty episodes of GH to watch the changes she instituted in directing and editing,which other soaps followed.

Also,some of the famous flubs from the live days.

Love of Life had a scene in a park and used pigeons.In the next scene,in a living room,the pigeons flew in and an actor add libbed about leaving the window open!

On one show,someone was supposed to say"Are you calling him a crooked cop"? but said cock instead of cop and everyone broke up.

I think it was Edge of Night,where the actors didn't realise they were back on air and were caught fooing around.

On Secret Storm,instead of saying"I always thought she was a bit of a witch,the actress said"a whit of a bitch"which was taboo in those days and her scene partner got flustered and tried to improvise her way out of it.

That stuff would be priceless to see.

[SFK]

^^Those sound hilarious! Would love to see some of that stuff!

[juniorz1]

I have a couple.

I'd LOVE to see Steve & Alice's engagement party, where Rachel came down the stairs and pointedly told Alice that she was pregnant with Steve's baby (Jamie). I'd also LOVE to see the climax of the Rachel/Mac/Janice Frame storyline in St. Croix.

I'd also like to re-watch the episodes of Santa Barbara where Cruz & Eden finally reunited after the Kirk/Santana debacle and made love on the beach. But even moreso, the episode leading up to it where Eden tries to get through to Cruz & they kiss, but he resists the reunion.

Over at DAYS, I'd LOVE to see the episodes on Stefano's island, where Stefano pushed Roman off the cliff, and when John/Roman kidnapped Marlena and took her on the raft in the rapids, followed by Bo & Hope, culminating in Marlena announcing that John was Roman as Bo & he fought and rolled down that hill.

Finally, I'd die to see my beloved Marcy acting in any capacity on any show.

[juniorz1]

I thought of another one for Santa Barbara. Shortly after the Dobsons returned they "killed" off Lionel (he wasn't really dead) and held his funeral at the Capwell mansion. I remember that being one of the funniest episodes of any show I've ever seen. The main thing I remember about it is that someone accidentally dropped the urn containing "Lionel's" ashes all over the floor and the Capwell maid came in and began cleaning it up with a dust buster. Louise Sorel's reaction was priceless.

ETA: Great topic by the way.
