Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 23, 2016 Members Share Posted December 23, 2016 I love HD quality videos! I appreciate all classic episodes that posted but it's just so nice not to have to squint through wavey lines and grainy video, you know? Thanks for posting!

Members DRW50 Posted December 24, 2016 Members Share Posted December 24, 2016 A December 1996 episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 25, 2016 Members Share Posted December 25, 2016 Interestingly the Christmas 1995 episode used the same music from the NYE 1993 closing credits. I actually watched the 12/24/93 episode closing credits and no special Christmas music at all, just the regular credits: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 27, 2016 Members Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) These scenes between Craig and Lucinda just personify one of the reasons why ATWT was my favorite soap. Just watch and enjoy! These three scenes deliver so much of what is missing from today's remaining soaps. These scenes between Craig and Lucinda just drip with venom and verbal jousting. via ytCroppervia ytCroppervia ytCropper Just when you think that Craig got the upperhand and Lucinda will be duly chastened, she delivers a final jab before delivering a venomous kiss on her lips before departing. Savage! I've seen some improvement from Y&R but nothing anywhere near this level. This is what's missing from today's remaining soaps. *Note-- it's unfortunate that no matter the scene, you still get the same screen grab and the first few seconds. The software wasn't sharp enough to fix this. Edited December 27, 2016 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 27, 2016 Members Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thanks for trying on these. I always love their scenes in the Bryce and Hubbard era. They had such a layered relationship - the type of thing that many insist soaps never had because viewers wouldn't "get it." It's only when the execs started really believing that the soaps died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 27, 2016 Members Share Posted December 27, 2016 There were other great scenes- one between Sierra and Tonio (the one that left Tonio stricken) and Tonio and Lucinda where Sierra sarcastically remarks that Lucinda should marry Tonio herself if she thinks he's such a great husband, then Sierra (or maybe Finn) adds on "Oh it would be perfect!" with the subtext implying that Lucinda and Craig were a mismatch but Lucinda and Tonio would be well suited and unlike Craig, with Tonio, Sierra wouldn't give a damn. I hated that we had that whole several months of Craig going missing, just when Sierra was hitting her stride and Finn's fierceness was top notch fiesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 Didn't SB leave at the time during the whole Craig is missing story? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 Yes. That was the start of him leaving and then returning again while looking for primetime work, I guess. I think he was in and out of Facts of Life in this period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 And then Finn Carter left in '88 and I think she filmed Tremors around 88- '89 because the movie came out in 1990 (presumably after post-production). The unfortunate side of having such talented actors showcasing their talent on a well written show. They don't stick around. Considering the fact that Julianne Moore, Lindsey Frost and Scott Bryce and Finn Carter had stepped away, you'd have thought that ATWT would've worked harder to keep Hillary Bailey Smith on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 I didn't care for Sierra and Craig together. FC Sierra was a very boring character. I always hoped they would have paired Craig with either Betsy or Lucinda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 #Blocked. Please register in order to view this content I shipped Craig and Sierra. It came off as totally believable that these two characters were hot for each other. They were together for such a short period of time. Lucinda and Craig were good for what they were but Lucinda would've drove Craig to murder her. Betsty might have worked and as much as I liked Lindsey, she had some anti-chemistry with quite a few characters so I don't trust that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 When I saw MBE version of Sierra.....I finally saw how Craig would have fallen for her. It is too bad that MBE and SB never worked together on ATWT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 I would've had to have seen it to believe it. It's unfortunate that ATWT was so bad during those years, I rarely even watch anything from the show's last decade, I just can't see past the poor writing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 28, 2016 Members Share Posted December 28, 2016 I can't really get past anything post-1996. I think because I had high hopes for FMB and she really let me down. I watched some of that vile Sheffer (I wish I hadn't) and I watched the last year (which I don't regret, even if it was a mediocre/poor ending), and that's about it for me. I don't rewatch anything from 96 on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
