Sandy seems kind of like an ass.

Cecile is more like Susan Keith's Cecile here, which is a nice change of pace.

Always nice to see early Cass, and restrained Carl.

This is Cecile before they turned her into the cartoon she became. I loved OTT Cecile, but she could have stayed on the canvas if they hadn't made her so OOC.

When did Cecile turn into a cartoon?

I felt she became cartoonish when she started marrying princes of Tanquir.

Wow, I've never seen that scene with Reuben's mother singing encouragement to him. Was it a dream sequence or what? I liked Reuben a lot, but the writers didn't seem to know what to do with him (or his family).

There was an entire episode that was Reuben's dream sequence. The show seemed to enjoy doing those in the late 80s and early 90s (dream sequences/special episodes/fantasies).

I agree the show didn't know what to do with him. At one point they hinted at Josie/Reuben but that went nowhere.

At a time when ATWT and GL were trying to expand their black canvas, AW became very white, and that didn't change until the show's last few years. It's a shame, since AW had Quinn, Henrietta, Thomasina, Carter, etc. at a time when the best you could get on ATWT and GL was Heather and Tucker, and Lujack's friend, at a push.

A little more from that episode.

Is it just me, or does Tanquir sound like the name of an alcoholic beverage, something you'd sip on the beach with a little umbrella in the glass?

Yes, it does. It also kind of always sounded like exotic underwear.

"Bartender, give me a shot of Tanquir - and hold the salt!!!" LOL

Are the 1980 episodes on Youtube? I can only find a few

Are those the ones from August, when Beverlee McKinsey left to head up Texas? Blaine's marriage to Jerry Grove was breaking up? Those are the only ones from that time period I've seen. I understand that Nic Coster reprised his role as Robert Delaney not long thereafter for a brief time. I wonder if he shared any scenes with Judith McConnell (Miranda), seeing how they would be co-stars on Santa Barbara a few years down the line who shared heavy storyline.

There are some 1980 episodes on Youtube. Most you can get through Eddie Drueding but you have to pay.

I haven't finished Robert's return but almost all of it was solely with Clarice, her husband, and her father. He met with Mac briefly - Miranda may have popped up then.

Oh, Robert Delaney's episodes from 1980 are up now? Cool!!!
