I hadn't seen a lot of this before. Do you know who is playing the Gannon aunt? I like her.

This must have been just about the end of Ellen Bethea, right before the disastrous recast.

I love the music in the Bo/Nora scenes. It reminds me of those really good RPGs that used to come out in the 90's.

That's the late Rosanna Carter who was Esther Rolle's sister. I don't know if you ever saw the movie She-Devil, but she played the judge who put Ed Begley, Jr.'s character away. I had totally forgotten she had played this part yet always remembered an older female relative calling them Henry and Randall James. She is struggling a little with these lines bless her heart. ^_^

Thanks. I didn't recognize her. I'm glad that she got this little role on OLTL. I really like her work, and how natural she seems. Giving work to talented actors who often don't get it is what I may miss most about soaps.

Very interesting reading EP's valid point about Dorian becoming *hers*. Some very important character developments happened during her tenure that became significant, lasting parts of who Dorian became with Robin Part Deux.

Linda Gottlieb mentioned in an interview that MB had a scar on his face and I swear I never noticed it until that picture. He looks like Jay from Jay and Silent Bob.

I'd never noticed it either.

I agree that Dorian changed a lot during Elaine's tenure, and some of the changes stuck. I just wish Elaine had had more daytime opportunities after OLTL, and that OLTL had managed to find a place for her.

Yeah, would have been nice if she turned up as Ionia. ^_^ Last time I saw her in daytime, she was playing a judge on AW and her hair was cut short kind of like how Robin had cut hers short at the time. I *may* have that somewhere on tape.

It's so sad seeing the last of Herb, and back when there actually was a Buchanan/Lord family, instead of Viki and a bunch of idiots and people who fled town and never went back.

It's also nice to see more of Angela Holiday. I don't know why they wrote her out.

The scenes with the family welcoming Clint back are so moving, just pure emotion...something soaps are ashamed of now. I really love all those old scenes with Clint and his family. And Herb and Dorian. Herb really got Dorian and helped her from being too much of a caricature.

4:20 in clip one, was Bob Woods too preoccupied with whatever was in his eye to take Tonja's coat or was that a *choice*? :D

7:49-8:46 clip two, that was just so... lovely. So *Viki*. Just a very classy moment. This whole episode has such an elegance about it, the show did in general. I love the music throughout, from the carols to the primetime sax.

Great memories, and now that the show is leaving us, I will watch this every Christmas.

Asa & Alex and their his and hers Porsches. :wub:

Marilyn Chris added something very special. Her mannerisms and delivery are very Off-Broadway actor groomed in the sixties. She seems like someone Lemay would have loved to write for.

    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it.
