Members FrenchBug82 Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 The way she was holding the package flat to the camera even when walking was hilarious too. The reason I didn't pick that video though was that Peggy McCay, God Bless Her and may she RIP, actually tried to sell it and delivered the lines with some level of enthusiasm. I am sure she didn't like it anymore than Peter Reckell and Kristen Alfonso did but she did it like a trooper so the cringe was slightly less for me. Seeing actors die inside while delivering the lines is the extra level of "what are they doing" for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Even the Banbury Cross storyline had missing episodes. I mean, we know how it ends but it's not as satisfying when you don't see the steps that get to the storyline's conclusion. It's like that for basically every major storyline in the 80s up to at least 1990-91 posted on YouTube, which, tbh is annoying. And, I bet the Banbury Cross storyline would look visually stunning if it were remastered in digital and/or HD. Even the exteriors of the Synder Farm would look great in HD. The SoapClassics people should definitely have included some episodes that were shot in England/Venice and Venice. Don't know what they were thinking in not doing so.

Members Broderick Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 Showing a character having breakfast with a box of Cheerios nearby seems life-like and completely "normal". Having a character suddenly deliver a soliloquy about "whole grain goodness with no sugar added!" is just utterly cringeworthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 Someone has a YouTube channel full of video clips with what looks like the first actors who played Sabrina Fullerton-Hughes and Colin Crowley. Some of the clips are in poor condition, but there doesn't seem to be much of early Colin in Oakdale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 15, 2021 Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 Is there a full episode of that original scene on YouTube? I'm not talking about the scene where the argue and Lucinda pulls John into the tub (I know that one is up), I'm talking about the next episode, where they're already both in the tub arguing and kissing, as shown in this clip. Also, was the Vegas elopement actually shown onscreen? Or just them already back in Oakdale. It's been so long, I had forgotten that there was anything after they pulled each other into the bathtub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lilyredd Posted June 15, 2021 Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 I was so young but my recollection was there was no scene of their wedding and this might have been on an anniversary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarlandFan Posted June 15, 2021 Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 John and Lucinda eloped off-camera. The first time the audience learned of it was when Emma first learned of it - at John's penthouse when Lucinda came bounding down the spiral staircase announcing to Emma that she was "the honorable Mrs. John Dixon." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 15, 2021 Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 Right, I remember that episode but you just confirmed what I had already suspected. I wish the episode where everyone else in Oakdale begins to find out were posted on YouTube. Sierra, Craig and Lily all find out at the same time after being summoned by Lucinda. Craig toasts the newlyweds, and says something to the effect of "...to a marriage made in hell...". Kim, Lisa and the rest of the town's reactions were pretty memorable too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted June 15, 2021 Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 Question: Had Christopher Goutman not replaced Felicia Minei Behr as executive producer, who would you have liked to see named? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitch Posted June 17, 2021 Members Share Posted June 17, 2021 Good question..not a clue for an answer. But as much crap as Goutman (rightly) gets..I don't think he was the major problem in the early years..I think MADD was more of the issue in trying to turn both GL and ATWT into ABC soaps era 1980s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
