Geez seeing that opening again gets me emotional - it's just perfect, the shots they used, the balance in tone, how they show all aspects of soap, the ending shot...

 

It really is perfect and I love that shot of Harley groovin'. Tangie sipping her champers is lovely enough, Reva, meh... no one shone in that final spot like Harley.

 

An article written about this opening makes mention of the fact that the original intent was to focus on the main players with many more generic shots (pearls, flowers, et cetera). I remember when it became so bloated with cast members that there was a. day and b. day, the cast split 50/50. Like with every other soap opening, with the new additions came dips in quality. There were clips that were too short and were awkwardly paused and rewound (like Rock Hudson in Dynasty's opening titles).

 

Another article mentioned that if you look closely you'll see that the opening mimics how a real lighthouse works. I didn't understand what they were getting at until I recently watched a documentary on Maryland lighthouses and saw the Fresnel lenses:

Hugh Downs, who appeared on One Life to Live when he was interviewed by Pat Ashley, passed away this week.   He was on the show to promote his two television shows 20/20 on ABC and Over Easy on PBS.

Bob TV is back as Bob soaps with a bunch of OLTL. I don't think Bob post Asa and Samantha's wedding. In his previous channel.

Timothy Waldrip, who played Dr. Danny Woleck on the show on two different occasions, lost his wife a few days ago.  He issued this statement:

 

"My wife Gerri Sutyak passed away this morning of natural causes, so it’s said. Please remember her fondly. She has been the largest part of my heart for decades."

 

Please keep this family in your prayers.

 

Mr. Waldrip also appeared on Loving.

That's so sad. All love and prayers to Mr. Waldron and his family. 🙏❤

 

Erin has not aged.

Another OLTL reunion scheduled on July 16, 2020

 

As Asa used to say "Those Rappadavidsons" 

 

The Rappaport Family, Kale Browne (Sam), Catherine Hickland (Lindsay), Jessica Morris (Jennifer) and Jason-Shane Scott (Will), from from One Life to Live will join me live on Thursday, July 16th at 2PM EST. Please join us as we reminisce about their time spent as a family in Llanview.

 

 

 

Only Catherine Hickland is a must see on that one.

Im good with all but Kale Browne

 

Id love to see Scott Evans (Fish), Brett Claywell (Kyle), Ilene Kristen (Roxy), David Fumero (Christian) & Tika Sumpter (Layla)

I think Jessica Morris is underrated. I think she should have been Emmy nominated when she found out about her father's death. Wasn't there all kinds of gossip about Browne during his OLTL tenure? I always wondered why he was let go.

I think he was the actor that HBS alluded to that she & Mark Derwin didnt get a long with
