We also have the introduction of some major new characters. Including Matteo (who actually in his opening episodes is better than I remembered) and the Santos parents.

One thing I didn't remember from watching 20 years ago was that Hayley referred to Mateo as "Matt" in his first few episodes. It really caught me off guard during this rewatch.

I think initially they thought he would usually go by Matt, in general, even Julia calls him that at one point? In the later August/Sep episodes he seems to get called both but yeah, pretty quickly I remember them only ever calling him Mateo.

OK, I hate to ask, but where exactly in which video do we see Trucker in horrible underwear? :P It's hard to keep up!

And even more "random loving episodes" uploaded in the past day--most of this seems to be from 1993 Taggert/Guza era (I think shortly before Agnes Nixon returned) which is an era where I was quite heavily invested, so a lot of this is at least familiar...

ABC Unveils The Hamptons By JULIANNE HASTINGS
NEW YORK (UPI) - ABC's sizzling hot summer series "The Hamptons" premieres Wednesday night with enough sex, old money and power to make those nouveau riche cowpokes in Texas look like a bumbling bunch of greenhorns. The five-part dramatic series, which will air Wednesday nights from 9-10 p.m. EDT, focuses on a ruthless power struggle between two old-line Eastern famines for control of their jointly owned department store empire. There's also Nicholas Atwater, a Jay Gatsby-type character — mysterious, handsome, and wealthy beyond imagination — who jumps into the fray for his own, dark reasons, which are melodramatically revealed at the end of the first episode.
The action was filmed on location in Manhattan, on Long Island and in Westchester County, N.Y. — the latter needed because a Hamptons country club nixed a request to allow filming on its grounds.
Episode No. 1 opens in the midst of that ancient summertime Friday ritual — the mass escape from Manhattan. First we see Jay Mortimer (John Reilly), president of the Duncan-Chadway department store chain, arrive at his apartment in a limousine to pick up his older wife, Adrienne (Bibi Besch), sole heir to the Duncan half of Duncan-Chadway, and her college-bound daughter Tracy (Holly Roberts). Mom's not in the limo yet, so Mortimer puts a lusty hand on fair Tracy's knee. "Hi beautiful," he leers. Talk about starting a weekend!
Next a high-powered lady lawyer (Kate Dezina) and her doctor boyfriend (Phil Casnoff) are spotted running toward each other along a crowded sidewalk, embracing, kissing and dashing off to then weekend love nest.
Finally , Atwater (Daniel Pilon) clambers into his Jet Star helicopter and heads for his new summer place, the sprawling Beach Manor complex, which actually is the Dupont Mansion in Old Westbury, N.Y.
Pan of East Hampton and the Coastline: Old man Chadway seen watching girls in bikinis playing volley ball on beach. The department store mogul turns, starts to climb steps to house, collapses — with a stroke. There goes the store!
A station wagon pulls up in front of the house and out jumps Chadway's son Peter (Michael Goodwin), managing director of the chain his father co-founded, his faithful wife Lee (Leigh Taylor-Young) and his Yalie blond son Brian (Craig Sheffer).
After everyone gets settled in - old Chadway at the East Hampton Hospital — there's a lavish dinner dance where everyone gets together and the viewer gets a good idea of what's to come. And there is still more storyline in this first episode to be told. The costumes and sets are storybook gems. The cast is attractive and the show's timeslot makes it the lead-in to ABC's popular "Dynasty," giving soap addicts a consummate, two-hour fix. But if all goes as planned, how do you make a winter series about life in a summer resort?

Bibi Besch—On a sudsy run through summer By LYNDA HIRSCH
Bibi Besch, the aristocratic blonde actress who was born in Vienna, Austria, and has spent most of her years appearing in such soap operas as “Secret Storm,” “ Somerset,” “ Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing” and “Edge of Night,” as well as dozens of prime-time movies, feature films and plays, is dipping into prime-time soap opera for the second time as she stars as Adrienne Duncan-Mortimer on ABC’s short-term summer soaper “The Hamptons.”
Miss Besch’s first prime-time soap was the spectacular flop, “Secrets of Midland Heights.” “I really didn’t understand why that show didn’t work until recently. Then some people explained that the characters on ‘Midland Heights’ were ordinary, and no one wants to look at ordinary characters on a prime-time soap. When they come home from work, they want to see people who are fabulously wealthy and who do fabulous things. I really believe ‘The Hamptons’ has the potential for a long run. “My character is an alcoholic woman so rich that she can say and do anything. I think the saying and doing anything with no one talking back to her would be wonderful, at least for a while.”
Besch, daughter of actress Gusti Huber, who created the role of Anne Frank’s mother in the Broadway play “Diary of Anne Frank,” began acting in her early years, but isn’t thrilled that her 13-year-old daughter Samantha has the same 'thought in mind. “I’ve been discouraging her from an acting career, although she’s beginning to wear me down. The reason I’ve been discouraging her? I think acting is full of great disappointments. I’ve had them throughout my career. I wanted desperately to be a renowned Broadway actress, and while I did do some Broadway roles, it never really worked out for me. That’s why I moved to Los Angeles.
No sooner did I get to L.A. than I was offered a part in a Broadway comedy to star Dick Van Dyke I was thrilled. I told all my friends and relatives the news. I dashed off to New York. And while waiting for the play to begin, I received a call that it was going to be postponed for one week Then two weeks. Then forever. I have to say that was my biggest disappointment in the business.”
A single parent, Besch admits sometimes it s hard raising a daughter and being in show business “There are trade-offs. For example, when Samantha graduated from grammar school, I was on location in Rome and couldn’t make it back for the ceremony. But a week later, she flew to Rome and spent the summer with me. I don’t think many girls Samantha’s age would get a chance like that. “I think Samantha understands my absences, especially as she grows older, and I try to have her with me as often as I can. I’ve turned down roles when I thought I would be away for too long, but sometimes the financial situation makes it necessary for me to be away for long stretches of time.”
ABC and Besch hope “The Hamptons” has a longer run than its proposed five weeks. It’s slated to run right after the highly-rated “Fall Guy” on Wednesday evenings and right before “Dynasty." Although “Dynasty” is hotter than hot in its initial run, in reruns it’s near the bottom of the Nielsens. “I understand they’re going to look at this closely, and if it’s a hit during the summer, then during the second season ‘The Hamptons’ could be slated for a long run. I think the character of Adrienne is fascinating and I could live with doing her for years and years "

Sure, but death has no age requirement. Someone young can have an unexpected illness, car crash, whatever. Even if time is limited, I think it's great if people find love in their twilight years. It may not be the "love of their lives", but companionship and shared interests at that point in life are worthwhile.
I know real life as far as Susan Seaforth Hayes and Bill Hayes' marriage maybe makes someone else courting Julie a bit bittersweet, but it does happen in real life, so good for Julie if she enjoys some attention, I say!
