@JAS0N47 (or any Salem historians) Do the Dimera's live in Kellam Chandler's (Liz's father) old house?  I remember something about Tony getting the house.  But maybe that was someone else, and maybe the family has moved since then?  Or did Victor win someone's house?

I also vaguely recall Liz living in the Chandler mansion during her marriage to Neal.  And I wonder if she inherited any of Kellam's money, given that between Tod and Joshua, she was the last one standing?

11-25-65


Intro same, still star billing


20:54 Quality is about par for most of these early 65 episodes. This one has a slight reddish tint. Not distracting.


Cast: Marie, Alice, Tom, Craig, Tony, the wife of a patient on the phone with Tom


Locations: Salem, Hortons, different rooms


Tom, Marie & Alice are in the dining room. Marie has on her wedding dress. Alice is taking measurements & pinning several spots. (They are cutting it close. The wedding is tomorrow, Saturday.) 
Alice says she's done & to go change clothes quickly because Mickey is picking them up & taking them out to supper somewhere, it's a surprise where.  Marie leaves, Doorbell. Tom puts down his paper & goes to the door. He returns with 2 corsages, gardenias, one for Alice & one for Marie. 
Mickey's anxious to take everyone out to eat at some surprise place where he's made a reservation. He says they're going to be late!
Alice claims to have chores to finish.
Tom pins a corsage on Marie's left lapel of her suit jacket.
Mickey asks if she's taking this doll with her when she & Tony are married & leave for Boston? 
Marie quips that no, she was planning on that particular doll going to Mickey's bachelor pad. 
They have a conversation about redoing this bedroom as a bedroom for Julie.
They crack jokes about the pictures they had up in their bedrooms when they were younger. 
Tony arrives. 
Alice lets him in. 
Tony asks if he could have a few moments alone with Marie before .... He says he needs to speak with her. 
Tom gets a phone call from a patient's wife who has an ulcer. 
Alice shows him into what I think is the study. He waits. Vrey quickly Marie arrives & comes barreling into the room, so happy to see him. They embrace. 
He says, "You look lovely."
She says, "I love you."
They kiss, for a while. 
Then, she thinks he has an engagement ring for her. But, he doesn't, and says he's sorry but he couldn't get the ring. Then he says he doesn't have time to go out with them tonight because he's got a reservation set & he's flying back to Boston tonight. Immediately.
She asks why, is it because of the fellowship. 
He says no, but that he did get the fellowship. 
She is so excited for him & thanks him for bringing such good news to her. 
He asks her to please listen to him. 
She says he can't fly back to Boston tonight because we're getting married tomorrow. 
He says he can't take her to Boston with him.
She asks why not?
He says he now knows he's not ready for the responsibility & it's a good thing he figured this out now instead of later. 
She says he can't be serious!
He says he just can't.
She says it's very late to announce a postponement. 
He says he's not talking about a postponement, that he can't ever marry her. 
She says something is wrong about this conversation. You're not being honest with me. Don't you love me?
He says not to even ask that question, that it's a silly question. 
He leaves.
She's beside herself, crying & saying over & over, "Not again."
Tom is pounding on the door, saying they're going to lose their table. 
Just then, Tony's dad, Craig arrives. He is so sorry. He explains that Tony has just called off the wedding, the engagement, everything. 
Tom is angry that Craig knew & didn't tell him ahead of time. 
Craig says he was sure that Tony would change his mind & that Tony is going to regret this for the rest of his life. They go in the room & Marie is out cold, on the floor & they look at the bottle in her hand. Tom calls for Mickey to bring his doctor's bag fast.

These items were listed in scripts, so I don't know if they are the actual same houses, but they were the same sets at one point. The DiMera Mansion of today I consider to be the one Shane & Kimberly lived in in the late 80's, So that eventually became the DiMera Mansion in the 90's.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
