What is on the Dutch ATWT disks is it same as US, the packaging looks pretty!

I'd be okay with occasions, but that should not be the main thrust. For example around Thanksgiving time, they have a few holiday episodes to celebrate. Otherwise I think the themescould be avoided unless they are a lot more specific.

Lol, for her former conniving ways, Lisa is a really rotten liar! I wish they would have let her retain that instead of her flitting fluttering nervousness. I love Lisa but Fulton kind of always makes me uncomfortable with her twitching.

Link freakin' Laferty.... I hated that character and the actors bucky grin. LOL...I remember him supposed to be a major hunk to take over for Holden but he just looks skinny and freakishly blond here.

I think that was Hutch, not Linc. I never liked him either (although I preferred him to Mike Kasnoff).

This was a solid episode. I especially love the brief Lisa/Lucinda bitching session, and the scene where Tess tells Courtney she had everything, and Courtney snaps that Tess had what she wanted most - loving parents. Normally I thought Courtney was a drip but that scene felt very real to me.

Some of the characters, like Barbara, really got bogged down in these years. I do love that ridiculous upturned Peter Pan collar as she deals with sleazy Visconti.
