It does look like a purse.

Glad I could bring back some nice memories.

It still makes me feel sad that Elaine Princi was so disregarded by the history books and the show and fandom, etc. I'm glad that through Youtube we can appreciate her work.

I mentioned in the AMC tribute thread that I watched the ABC soaps during most of the last half of the '80s. I also checked in with "One Life to Live" in the mid-90s and around 2001-02. Although often over-the-top, I don't think you can deny that their events weren't entertaining. Eterna, Heaven, and the Old West are often cited, but Viki's amnesia around '85-'86 is what sucked me in. I guess it really wasn't amnesia, but she thought she was still married to Joe Riley and that Tina was not her sister. Whatever it was, Erika Slezak sold it. The cast almost always sold it, no matter how unrealistic it may have seemed. European adventures, Iguazu Falls, poisoned earrings, jail for Tina and Dorian, religious cults -- OLTL made them fun. I tuned back in during Viki's DID storyline in the mid 90s, when Jean locked Dorian in the secret room and all of her alters came out, then again with the depressing ushering out of the Holden family by killing off Al, sending Max out of town, then murdering Gabrielle. I really thought the Bo-Gabrielle pairing had so much potential so I hated that that was the last time really watching it. I'll tune in for the end though!
