I think part of the reason for that was because Viki and Joe were now happily married after a decade or more of drama and considered to be OLTL's tentpole couple.  I also think that was why Tina was introduced when she was in 1978 or whenever: Joey had not been conceived yet, as far as I know, and Kevin was not ready to be SORAS'ed, but the Rileys needed a new source of conflict that would not pose too great of a risk to their marriage.  So, enter the teenaged daughter of Viki's former college roommate, who was young and impressionable and an easy mark for criminals such as Marco Dane.  No doubt, if Lee Patterson had not elected to leave when he did, the bulk of Joe and Viki's storylines would have revolved around their continued efforts to keep Tina out of trouble.

Oh my God.

Kamar had a complicated history on OLTL, but I was absolutely spellbound by him in his first stint on the show. As a somewhat sheltered little white boy he first intimidated me, then broke my heart for Carlotta in their early scenes, then swept me away with the unlikely relationship with Andy that I loved, however mawkish it got; I quickly found him the sexiest man alive.

His second run was a mess for so many different reasons, but I always felt they should've given him a better sendoff than how he was shuffled off-canvas near the end amidst I think a contract dispute. What a tragedy.

My sympathies also to Sherri Saum (Keri), who he has been with for decades.

RIP Kamar

As complicated as was his final years on OLTL were, (propping of Antonio's character) I preferred those above the propping the show did with John McBain's character during it's last few years. And of course those fond memories of Antonio's first few years on the show.

 Was that the bad credit score or credit card debt story? I wasn’t an OLTL viewer but I clearly remember at the end of 2002 there was this widespread anti-OLTL furor going on online while SOD, SPW, and TVG all named the show the worst soap of 2002, and everyone pointing out that story. I loved Sherri on Beach and remember just reading about it sounded like a odd story for any soap to tell when presented as high stakes drama.

@janea4old@titan1978@Khan  I recommend another nomenclature for characters like Vicky.  She was the “central” character, but not always the leading character.  In other words, the plots were sometimes not told from her perspective, but they often revolved around her, given that the various leads were mostly related to her in some capacity.

To me, this differentiates Vicky from Erica Kane, who was mostly in a leading role for the run of AMC.  And it aligns her more with someone like CC on Santa Barbara, who wasn't always the leading man, but the show was basically his life story.

Watching clips of YouTube around the final few years of the show.

hot take alert: Never a fan of Starr/Cole and honestly preferred Starr/James as they seemed a bit more spicy and exciting, plus I never like couples whose endgame is to be together forever. They never make fun couples.

i don’t know if anyone appreciates this or enjoys it coz it’s not in English. But I was able to buy some episodes from 1980 for a lot of money of my favorite soap in mY mother language. It’s so nice to see young Tina.. Asa, Sam etc. 
There are a few missing episodes here and there but overall a great run with even a lot of continuing episodes in a row/even weeks.

I will upload more in the next few days.

I have episode 3087 and 3089 up already.

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
