Yes!!! so been looking forward to this for such a long time!! :D

my goodness those scenes were terrifying, Bill Bell was really good at doing mentally disturbing dream sequences....I don't think I have seen one like that before...omg those screams.I guess Lorie and Vanessa's fight in the dream was one of the show's earliest "catfights"

the suicide scene was great, I had know idea that Lorie and Vanessa had gotten "friendly" and Vanessa used that to frame her....I just can't believe she would take her own life just to destroy Lorie.....I guess it shows how messed up she was....

Lorie's catatonic state was very well acted as was Lucas's reaction.....and wow never thought I would see Brooks, but wasn't he Leslie's son?.....that housekeeper looked a little like Betty White....

also liked that Carl was there doing the questioning and wow you see a hint of early Victor at the ranch in some of those scenes....

You don't know how much we appreciate your continued effort in posting these wonderful clips! still looking forward for more...

You have to remember that weeks before this, Vanessa found out she was terminally ill, the doctor told her she had about 3 months to live at best, if I remember right. She had returned to the doctor to find he had suffered a stroke, and would not be seeing patients anymore, so the nurse gave her her records and referrals for another doctor. So Vanessa destroyed the records and set her plan in motion. Dare I say it, but Vanessa scared me more than Sheila.The closeup on K.T.'s face when she says "Tomorrow" just freaks me out.

Thank you!

The nightmare/fantasy was just a stunning piece of work. It was like a music video. You could tell Bill Bell and (I guess Conboy was gone by this time - was this Wes Kenney?) were transitioning into the 80s. You can also see it in Lorie's more conservative, restrained hair and wardrobe. Even her penthouse.

Lucas has a nice ass.

I didn't think the suicide scene was as effective as the fantasy, but I appreciate the idea, along with the attempts to show Lorie in shock. I also liked the part where she realized Brooks was still in the house.

It's such a contrast to now where a character would be in that situation and would just shrug and there would be no aftermath.

WOW ! Thanks for more vintage treasures. Vanessa was determined to screw Lorie over before she died. I noticed they just sent one officer up to question her before Carl came in.This day and time they would send an entire force and kick down the door and make Lorie & Lucas get down on the ground.

I hope you have some scenes of the funeral where Lucas opens the coffin and screams at Lorie "Look what you did to my Mother"

Finally! I got to see the infamous Vanessa suicide scene that I've read and heard about for years. Those scenes were good but it frustrated me how Lorie just kept stuttering over her words. I know she was in shock but good God! Does she not realize her life was on the line? I just wanted her to spit out that Vanessa threw herself over the rail. It's not like it would be hard to prove that she did do it because of her antics over the years.

But a part of me is feeling sad because isn't this a turn for the worst with the Brooks/Prentiss clan? Shortly after, isn't the entire clan [including Snapper and Greg] given the boot and the Abbotts and Victor take the forefront?

I think all of it was already uploaded by YRFan23, saynotoursoap, and others (this uploader is using his own material, I just mean these scenes have been on Youtube before or still are), but if any of you want to see if there is any new material, he's uploaded some Sheila/Lauren and farmhouse stuff, and the catfight.

Thank you for the clip. JLB is very subdued here, which is a nice change of pace. She adds some weight to it. Those melodramatic speeches from Robert are too ridiculous to believe, but Peter Brown has presence (and as always is kind of oddly hot) even as the character seems like something from a radio soap. i like how they are playing Perry Mason - I didn't realize the story was told this way. I thought it was more pure melodrama.

I also like her country music blouse.

Was that Victor and Eve in a quick shot?

I'm not sure if I posted it (if I did it was years ago) but JLB and Peter Brown were on the cover of SOD around this time. I guess he must have been planned as Lorie's love interest.

Seeing JLB in these scenes and watching her stint on DAYS years later (which I believe spanned 1993-99 and 2010), it's like watching two completely different actresses. Her Lorie was such a mover and a shaker, and wasn't afraid to use both her brains AND her body to her advantage. Her Laura on DAYS was such a drugged-out victim. Not that I'm blaming her (I blame JER and his writing staff), but DAYS just didn't play to her strengths. They could've done so much with JLB and wasted her instead.

    • This is a public message board. There is no inserting oneself into a conversation etc. If it is something that is posted, it can be replied to. But, no, that's not even close to what I said. There was no presumption & also no should. And, your replies are totally unsatisfactory to me, so I am outta this.

      date: Wednesday, May 14 | Christopher Dunn, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico Vernon feeling frisky? Oh, la la! I love a couple that are older in their years and are still vital sexually. That's beautiful and should be more naturally acknowledged. And yes, we are talking about the Articulettes some more. It looks like Bill's hand problems are still existing; it is definitely giving multiple sclerosis, and the child bride is beginning to notice now. Nicole going off on Andre is fire; I love that no one is safe from her firestorm. Dani performing reverse psychology on Nicole was brilliant, and now she's catching the passing glances between Andre and Dani. Eva, what are you trying to get out of by connecting with Katherine when she's made it known you are dead to her? I feel for Eva, because she wants that connection she was robbed of by Dana's manipulations. Not the "Homewrecker Helper", haha. Is that the new flavour from Hamburger Helper? 'Cause I would try that out. I love that Anita called Vernon "vocally challenged" while remarking he might have improved by now. I appreciate that Nicole is not placing blame on Andre and his knowing of Ted's secret, as easy as it could have been to do so. Bradley is the superior (and only parent) to Samantha and Tyrell, and I love seeing his connection with them both. So Deadbeat is inviting Eva to eat pizza with the family? This is... interesting. I am wondering why he's so invested in Eva. I really don't think Bill and Hayley should be doing the deed in his office, especially with what happened with Mike and Becky, Carrie, and Stefania. Dun-dun-dun, Nicole is flat out asking about what's going on between Andre and Dani, and I am here for it. I adore Jacob and Naomi's dedication to helping out June; it makes me wonder if there genuinely is more at play. Anita attempting to keep her composure while playing the piano as Vernon hits every single note but the right one is hilarious. It's those kinds of character traits I adore. Oh, we have got a full house right now; Samantha is inviting Jessica (who I am wary of) over, and Deadbeat bringing Eva home. Dani Dupree Hamilton... now is not the time to keep a secret from Nicole. It would've been much easier to come out and say you've been sleeping with Andre since the time of Bill and Hayley's wedding. Now this is going to become a bigger thing than it absolutely needs to be. Looks like the child bride's idea of "sexy" is messy and unprofessional, something that Bill Hamilton Esq. has a storied history of. Samantha is sassy AF, and I am loving it! It's a nice pace change and lets us see she's got some spice mixed up in that blood. Poor Jessica is wondering why she's included in this group discussion Deadbeat is having and the reveal of running for president. Uh-oh. I feel like this is going to come out, and it's going to affect innocent Tyrell, which is not fair. The reunion of the Articulettes is a go! Let's see how this goes, because as Anita remarked, this could be a disaster. Of course Dani went to immediately screw with Andre. Of course she did. Serenity Beauty & Hair? Are we getting a possible beauty salon set? Omg, please! Sharon isn't into a reunion; I guess that means Sharon is one of the Articulettes, then?! Notes: The product placement is really being sold; I cannot blame Proctor & Gamble, though, nor can I blame CBS Studios/the NAACP for allowing it, either. As a Tide user, I can say I use the original. It's the best. Oh, so we're producing a vinyl sleeve mock-up? Oh, I love that. The attention to detail is key. The story of the Articulettes is definitely a mirror of the Supremes during the Diana Ross era. The continued use of music on this soap is sublime, and it is rich. The outdoor exterior of Orphey Gene's is so much; I kind of wish it were an expanded, real set. Maybe once the budget comes back around, we can expand it? The growing use of June is interesting; it's nice seeing the developing story of this character, especially when on other soaps (i.e., The Bold and the Beautiful) we've seen this turn quickly or become a blink-and-miss type of story. Knowing that Clifton Davis (Vernon) can actually sing, it's impressive seeing him purposefully hit every single wrong note imaginable.
    • Who was Anita calling and why did they hang up?
    • I think he needs to back to GH as Dillon!
    • I just hope someone Febreezes that room after. 
    • Haha, ok - now confirmed, yesterday was his last day

        That ending with Eva/Samantha and the family was really cute. I'm glad they're accepting her into the family in some way.
    • I have no problem with the teens being on. Tyreel seems cool so far, but angry Sammy Joi can kick rocks.
    • True, and I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what Eva was doing in that random casino room. That made no sense to me.  
    • The dialogue was not written great, but Ms. Tunie brought it alive for me.  She's so great that I felt I was the room with Anita Williams Dupree.  Ms. Tunie is so alive.  I forget she's an actress and am captivated by the character.  Which is an achievement when the storyline isn't that interesting yet. (in contrast to a few other actors that I feel are just actors saying lines.)
