Seriously, who is this character calling herself Victoria?

Victoria was never this simple. Amelia plays Victoria with this air of a naivety that I never got from Heather's Victoria. Even yesterday, when she figured out that the guy wasn't on the up and up and decided to call the FBI, it was a seemingly "smart" moment and yet I couldn't help think to myself "Victoria is stupid."

Where to start Mark. I'll explain without being too extreme, I don't like this "phase" (hopefully) of a plot driven hot mess the show is lingering in right now. I pick and choose to watch only when the show includes many elements that I like. This is a show with complicated, multi dimensional, unique beautiful characters. Whilst I feel the characters still have their earned layers that have developed over the years I feel as if for the purposes of plot I'm seeing the same beats for the characters in stories I even remotely like/liked (for the sake of plot only) played over and over until it is annoying, or there are stories I could care less about with characters I don't necessarily mind all that much at times but don't really care much for unless they are included in a compelling story. Right now I can only watch for those great character moments, performances, and the sparsely well played epi (here and there) tomorrow's show just seems like one of those shows that displays everything I'm hating right now about the show.

So (1) she can't let go of loved ones, and (2) she is capable of great violence toward loved ones. LETHAL combination. ("If I can't have you, nobody can"). This is very similar to the motivation that Jeffrey Dahmer used with his victims.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure I'm thrilled about that. But if Haiduk can keep me feeling for her...

It will be interesting to watch.

    • Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!!
    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.
    • The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.
    • Very very well said!!!

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons.
