Yes, I do believe the final Tina-Gab scene was the one in 1991 where Tina slapped Gab. I have that floating around here in my "archives" somewhere. And as much as I liked Karen Witter, she was HORRIBLE in that scene!

I know Tina and I think Viki had on fur coats in a scene that around sometime during Eterna. They were at Viki's cabin which had been ransacked by a gold hunter. Itso n YouTube somewhere.

I loved Shelly Burch and Delila, especially in the beginning when the character had a purpose. She did leave from November 1987 to June 1988. Here are two 8X10 pictures that she generously sent to me when I wrote to her way back when. She was and is a beautiful woman!

The show missed a major opportunity with Max and Gabrielle when she returned in 2001. Back in their heyday, the characters were written with a "I hate you but can't live without you" kind of passion. But when Gab came back in 2001, it was more like they just had a "I hate you" kind of passion. The redux fizzled miserably (IMO) though it had such great potential! I wonder if anything had changed between James and Fiona by that time, because the chemistry just wasn't there. Or maybe it was the writing that lacked.

You're welcome! Funny (or not so funny) story about Shelly Burch......

In 1997, Soap Opera Digest reported that Ms. Burch had been brainwashed and joined a cult and was feared dead. I kid you not! There were no quotes from any authorities or former cast mates. Yet, I was still worried, as I thought Ms. Burch to be a lovely and kind woman based on interviews she did. Well, in 1999, I was fortunate enough to attend the OLTL Fan Club event, and I asked Mr. Bob Woods directly about Ms. Burch. He shook his head in disgust and said that he too had read that story, but was happy to report that Ms. Burch was alive and well and had never joined a cult. He confirmed that she IS a nice and warm woman, and thanked me for asking about her. If you are interested in seeing for yourself that she is indeed still living her one life to live, check out her website. The woman still looks amazing! http://shellyburch.org/gallery.php

It's wonderful to see Shelly Burch still looking wonderful after all these years. I always thought she was stunning as Delila. Thanks, Dale.

I remember she did a Where Are they Now with SOD in 2009 and said she was so happy and was willing to come back.

I can't believe they would run such a serious story as that, with no verification or anything. Did they ever refute their claims?

[Khan]

I would have loved -- LOVED -- to have seen Delila come back and be a threat to Bo and Nora's reunion.

[MissLlanviewPA]

In the OLTL book, it says Gabby came to town because Delila had taken credit for her designs. I thought she was trying to get them back. Oh well, I still love her and Fiona .

I actually thought they still had chemistry, particularly when they became friends again in 2003. I really felt that could have had a more mature, lasting relationship at that point, particularly if they had been written off together, They were never closer friends than they were then--I really thought Max was in love with her all over again--there was something about Jim's acting in their scenes that year that indicated that to me--but backed off because of Bo.

And THANK YOU so much for those pictures!
