"Secret Storm" memories.

[vetsoapfan]

My pleasure. I hope it works for you! I'm hopeless with anything technological, and remain computer illiterate, LOL, so when I finally figure out how to do something, I am super proud of myself!

Feigned indignation is a common ploy among scammers, who want to cower you into acquiescing to their often-unreasonable demands without question. It probably works for them, since many folks don't like confrontation, and desperately want to get their hands on the material which the scammers are allegedly offering. But like you, I know better than to cave in to scam-artists' aggressive BS. When you stand up to them, they usually throw a hissy fit and then disappear, which only confirms their shady intentions as far as I'm concerned.

You described the situation to a tee. But sadly for them... I not only am NOT scared of confrontation (surviving narcissistic parents does that to you)... I know where to report... And I don't report only to facebook (that's where that particular scammer tried me at). I report to some other places too. So bad day for the scammer.

Ahh, yes, I see scammers all over Facebook.

I agree that reporting is the correct route to take, but, alas: in my experience, it almost always leads to nowhere. Facebook seems not to care about the safety of its users.

[Contessa Donatella]

Oh, Facebook is plenty concerned with protecting its users from things like 1. themselves, 2. false spam reports, 3. harmless posts that its blind mechanical censors catch in their nets. I could go on. My point is they aggressively police things, but almost always it's the wrong things.

And, there is no possiblity of speaking to a human ABOUT ANY PROBLEM!

That was originally put up by another channel last month. 

I haven't seen them on here since the mid '10s and I don't know of any channels they have now either. I hope they are well.

I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case.

At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening.

The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown.

If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.

You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.

Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th. 

It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.

 

ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline.

IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood.

I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications.

So it must have been within those last 3-4 months.

I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form.

But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol 

this was great find! Thanks
