So, I haven't watched yet ((but looking forward to it). I always check videos for cast credits. I learned some new information .  Evan Sanderson's  friend Janet  was portrayed by two actresses. Maureen McDonnell and Catherine MacNeal. Not only was MacNeal on contract,  but Janet had a last name, Piersall.  MacNeal is known to Days viewers as DA Pat Hamilton through most of the 1990s.  I always love when these videos fill in blanks from long ago!    Thanks so much to everyone that shares videos from yester-year!!!!!!

I thought those scenes between the two were hysterical as well! I have to say, I enjoyed Jess' portrayal of Jill from 1987 and 1987 ONLY. After that, I don't enjoy it at all. I mean, don't get me wrong, the TRUE and ONLY Jill for me will forever be BD from her '73-'80 run. But there was something different about Jess during '87 when she first got the role....she seemed to play it the way the role needed to be played and added nothing that would ruin it.

Preview of Peter Bergman's 30th Anniversary Special set to air Monday, 11/25 (but I guess really on Tuesday due to the preemption last week).  

 

I guess I couldn't possibly have expected any Terry Lester clips since this is an anniversary for Peter, not Jack.  I assume they will avoid any Ashleys besides Eileen too.

Tom Selleck probably didn't say anything here he hasn't said before, but it's interesting to see him with Ted Danson as they're both asked about their soap experience. It starts around 7 minutes. (Ted doesn't say much)

haha! if only "hunting for new soap vids" can earn me a living!  

the reason I called it the "mysterious #1120" btw, is because before this person just uploaded a picture of the tape spine label that had all that stuff on it , and for some reason it didn't seem like he was going to transfer in online, but luckily now he did! LOL

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
