In the 4 1980 eps kindly sent to me by a member of here there's one with a lot of Estelle and Benny in the hospital. I am trying to figure out how to convert DVD vob files into uploadable files--pm me with any advice.

I posted this not long back in the video folder, but there's a great set of a full week of 1987 eps (Lorraine Broderick was HW), which I've watched twice. A weird mix of stories--Nina searching for Cliff in the jungle to Charlie flirting on the ice, and Nico and Julie on the run, Erica and Travis, Angie and Jesse fighting over an as yet undiagnosed Cindi re AIDS, etc but it's pretty great to watch now.

Starts Dec 17 (ends Dec 23) 1987. Here's the first part, links can be found from it:

ANd this long scene from the Dec 22 episode in that suite is prob my fave Ruth and Joe moment ever. :cry:

Watching that clip, although it was kind of fun, reminded me of how empty the Martins have been in the last 15-20 years...I guess it could be much worse (looking at what became of the Bauers), but I think it's just they lost their homey charm when their numbers dwindled and they became known mostly for covering up crimes.

The best part was the start, with Jacob Young doing a spoof of one of those old "serious" quasi-PSA ads.

A majority of 96-97 has been posted by the person with Israeli (? I think) subs, I've posted some links in the video thread. But for me AMC was tops for me from 91 when I started watching soaps till actually prob early 98--OLTL had a few periods in there I was more devoted to, and I loved the end of Loving and the last few months of The City, but... I was born in 1980 and reading *that book Jonathan and Sylph mock me for mentioning* I used to try to picture the stories in my mind, until the Anniversary book came.

I go in and out with ghosts--Agnes has used them since at least Mary Kennicot in 75, and a brief appearance that you can credit as someone remembering I think is touching. When Jean Passanante in her solo era did the tacky ghost Heaven I thought it was kinda fun--though why Heaven looks like an all white garden party on a tiny veranda is beyond me--but then of course she brought Ghost Jesse down to help Tad, and then when she ran away and the show had no HW he saved Tad...

I find it cute--but I admit I have selective memory when it comes to the Martins :P When Joe came back for three episodes the other month I literally would tear up seeing him. It helps that Tad's place on the show has been amazingly redeemed for me in the past year--something that from McTavish's last few years to Pratt made me think he was actually a burden on the show. I do give Broderick a lot of credit for that.

It was a big MESS. But at least he had good ideas, unlike Passanante I think. What's odd, or maybe not so odd, is in that fun A&E Biography episode about the making of AMC (that yes, I bought on DVD from them) they show people plotting the show and Agnes is there talking every point... I wonder if she was actually that involved at the time or if it was for show. Still, again, it was better than the eras immediately before and immediately after.

Some of this is afterschool special, but the fact they discuss religion, have some sympathetic characters not approve, and the final bit is brilliant I think--love they brought back Enid. (Broderick) Oh and Dixie's Paigeboy haircut is brilliant too... *coff*

      Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

      I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.

      Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.

        Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.

      Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING.

      Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.

      Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.

      I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it.
