That's just tacky. And another reason online vaults for shows like these (preferably off YT) are so important.

I have payed so much in my life for soaps to be honest and would continue to do so but I kinda learned that those people got them for free or just ripped them from YouTube back in the day for free. It hurts to see what they demand for episodes tbh

Thanks @victoria foxton! You're the best!

The collector was given these episodes by Rosemary Prinz to convert from tape to DVD. I wonder if she knows he’s trying to profit from this. 
 

I’ve had the best people send me DVD copies of vintage soap stuff for free and I was always so appreciative and was willing to cover shipping costs, blank DVD costs, etc. Most refused to accept. There is a kindness to share among collectors. 
 

I’m just turned off by the business aspect here. I’d love to see all his stuff. I won’t buy it though. Maybe I’m alone in feeling this way. 

Who is the collector

The collector posting these screen shots on Facebook sells soap episodes, but he has answered questions in the Facebook group claiming that these particular eps are NOT for sale. Since he's not going to share them with the community, I have to wonder why he even posts the pictures on-line. He should know it's likely to cause bad feelings.🤔

I used to trade videotapes and DVDs all the time, and you'd be surprised at how indignant some people would get when I asked them to reimburse me for the cost of shipping (which was very expensive to the USA from Canada). I had a large box of tapes ready to go, one time, and the post office told me it would cost $40.00+ dollars (including air-mail postage and insurance, which the receiver wanted.) When I asked if he could reimburse me via Paypal, he accused me of "ripping him off," regardless of the fact that I had not even asked him to pay for the blank tapes or any labor. There were 59 episodes there, culled from Beta and VHS, which took forever to dub. All I wanted was the cost of shipping. I told the guy that he'd SEE the postage stamp for himself when the package arrived, and he could verify the exact cost, but he threw a fit, anyway. I told him to forget the whole transaction; that I was sure I'd eventually find someone else willing to take the cassettes. And I did.

What on earth is wrong with people? 

I thought Nina #2 was too frenetic in her portrayal of the character during the Zach Greyson murder case, until I watched Nina #3. 

By 1985 they needed to use establishing shots of the actress's 8X10 to remind the audience that this is supposed to be Nina because not only is she not blonde, but she's no longer smart, and she's lost her mind.  She's in one of the weird sanitariums that only exist in soaps where the staff is mildly malevolent, but everyone wears their normal clothes, and they continue to get their hair and makeup done.

The introduction of the Chandlers is the only good part of this era.

Nina #3 (Barbara Kearns) was red-haired, and she also seemed to always have the sniffles.

@danfling From reading the wiki it looks like Nina #3 is introduced when Nina goes to the asylum after almost shooting Donna, she sticks around for less than a year, then she and Daisy take off on a cruise and Nina #1 returns.

But, was there any transition between Nina #1 and Nina#2 or did she just appear one day with the traditional voice over to announce her recast?

I try to sing a little jingle in my head, "Thanks for the tags, VF!" but it keeps sounding like "Thanks for the memories." 🎶🎧🎹

And how in the hell did this go on for this long & stay out of the news?! Do the experts think it is bad to feed these monsters with attention?

I hope this is the correct thread to ask this: AMC had over 10 000 episodes yet according to IMDB Susan Lucci only appeared in about 1500 episodes. Considering she was on the show its entire run and was the biggest star, that seems quite a low number of episodes. Is this episode count correct?
