I would love to know too... But I don't know how to find these things exactly. I know there are people who probably do know. Maybe you guys could help. These are the credits at the end of the episode.  

And I agree - the scene was beautifully written and acted. Something that I rarely, if not even... never see these days. And the pacing... the tempo of the whole episode... no rush... long scenes - just marvelous.

I posted it to ask Carolyn Culliton.

I cried for so long and thankfully my husband was there to hug me. He also got little emotional which is incredibly rare for him. He is beginning to love the show in his own way. Hates Vicky and Iris, likes Sharlene, Mary, John, Marley. And that scene for me... embodies the quintessential beauty of the soap opera genre. You bond with these characters episode after episode... and when situations like these happen, it strikes you right in the heart.   

That's amazing! Thank you! 

[Contessa Donatella]

There's a good chance that she will reply.

[Maxim]

That's gotten me so excited... you can't believe it.

I think I have a good idea. I hope I haven't needlessly given you false hope. I don't know if she even is still on Twi/X. But I guess we will find out. 

[Maxim]

Oh no, you haven't given me false hope, darling. Even if we don't get the info, it's still amazing of you to try and I'm thankful for that too. Fingers crossed.

I completely agree.  

Well, striking us in the heart -- that's exactly what soap operas are supposed to do, isn't it?   A well written soap opera should make the audience cry at least once a week.   That's my opinion.    

[Contessa Donatella]

Fingers & toes. 

I totally agree also. But, when is the last time it happened? I mean on a current soap. Well, I cried some over the farewell to Doug.

Absolutely correct, Contessa.  The farewell to Doug was the last time for me -- and was the first time for years.  

I remember being a little girl, and it seemed my Mom was crying at her soaps even more than once a week.  But soaps were more believable back then, and were mostly based on emotion, rather than strong plots.  

What was Agnes Nixon's famous quote?  Something like -- "Make 'em think, make 'em cry, make 'em wait..."  ???    

[Contessa Donatella]

Make em laugh, make em cry, make em wait, make em wait some more?

[Mona Kane Croft]

Yes that's it!    

[Maxim]

I got goosebumps just reading this quote. Wow.

I imagine everyone here keeps up with Eddie Drueding's channel, but in case you don't, he has shared some clips from 1988 episodes he does not have copies of. I suppose this explains why I have never been able to find the scene where Rachel ices Liz out. I had all those on tape but had to get rid of them several years ago. I hope they show up someday. 

Sadly, this also means if you haven't seen this period closely you will not realize just how odd and spread thin the show was becoming by the last month of the strike. On the positive side, that means you are spared a lot of the terrifying Chris. 

I love the Thanksgiving montage in this second set of clips, especially knowing it is our last Thanksgiving with Mac.
