Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 (edited) No, it only reaches the level of aggravation, not so bad that one would need to be committed. I could just see the headlines: Soap fan goes crazy. Family intervenes. A long stay at Bayview is indicated. And, you don't say "so-called Swan" NO. You always say, with your teeth gritted, the "Red Swan." Edited January 22 by Contessa Donatella info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members watson71 Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 Haha- it will be fine. Swajeski ties the Red Swan to an “umbrella” February 1990 storyline that features Broadway star Terrance Mann and the entire cast at a night at the Bay City Ballet. That was the best part of the Red Swan storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 I was shocked when I realised how long the Red Swan had lasted. I think part of the problem is that for quite a long time they were vamping -- whether it was because they had not decided how to resolve it or because they thought it needed time to build up I do not know, but there were possibly too many red herrings sprinkled in. A good MacGuffin would have tied the story together better -- but maybe MacGuffins serve finite storytelling better than open-ended serials. That said, although it was a chore to get through some of the mystery, I did not hate where it ultimately ended up (even though I know they could have got there without using the Red Swan as the device). I was trying to see if I could find the portrait that Sam painted of Amanda over a canvas that had the Red Swan painted on it and the portrait became a kind of sub-MacGuffin as a result, but I haven't found anything online showing it. (This was from the end of August into at least October 1989.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 Soap Jesus, what she means is ANYWHERE. We will take it, any way we can get it! (Although I always say Pete, which I have done since I read how he didn't like Harding & it was only from his family or official docs.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 Another way of saying that would be that it is the only good part of it!!! But, I was never sure if I loved the ending or I was just filled with relief that it was finally over!!! Please register in order to view this content Major OOPS. Didn't it begin with - trying not to spoil - that thing that happened in Maine? If so, they had no idea at first what to write & had to throw out all they had written. You, sir, are a fan of exceptional abilities to suspend disbelief. She really spent a whole lot of $$$$. Wait, I thought that the last thing she posted was that she was in recovery. I could be mistaken, but I hope not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 With all this talk about The Red Swan, I have to admit I would go back and watch the story all over again. I'm feeling very sentimental lately for AW. IT reminds me of my grandmother who I miss so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 It's like that for me, too, only it's my mother. But, it's true, I miss her, each & every day. And, she got me started on soaps, on AW, on DAYS & on ATWT. She watched AW & DAYS from their first days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
