This is an awesome find! Thanks so much Carl. One thing that always strikes me about older articles with photos of soaps, is that the cast was never that attractive. Yes, they *were* attractive, but you don't get that model-perfect (and boring) look that you see on any soap you watch now.

This christmas episode was sad but also helped a little since we won't be seeing a Christmas in Llanview 2012. Like the song says, "I'll be 'home' for christmas....if only in my dreams."

Although it was funny when Clint told Tina, "Viki would never divorce me in a million years." Sorry Clint but in 9 years You are divorced again and this time it's from Viki! and it will take you another 17 years to get her back.

it's funny that this clip is the only time that the real Niki seemed to come out from the whole 1985/86 storyline. She had started drinking more and she even mentioned Vinnie Wolek for the first time during this storyline.

A mere shred of the magic of the Santi saga of 2004, courtesy of Michael Malone, featuring Antonio at his most unbearable:

Amusingly, the clips are labeled "Carmen's Funeral". "Carmen" is the character Saundra Santiago played on Guiding Light - on OLTL, she played mysterious nanny Angelina Paredes, a.k.a the long-lost Isabella Santi, Antonio and Tico's biological mother. (Years later, Saundra took over the role of Carlotta Vega, after Patricia Mauceri fled the show in a fit of gay panic.) Given these dueling, endless Latin crime sagas, the confusion is understandable. Part 3 contains a flashback to her awkward, bizarre and just plain disturbing death scene. This episode also features GH's Lisa Lo Cicero as Sonia Toledo, male strip club owner and adopted Santi who fucked the daylights out of Antonio during this Tennessee Williams-by-way-of-kindergarten "dark period" in his life.

Tico and the Santis took up residence in Victor Lord Sr.'s secret manse, Lion's Heart Manor, located in Llanview's mystical and heretofore unknown Lenape Forest. All this crap first surfaced in the ridiculous climax to the Mitch Laurence storyline in 2003, when the Arthurian parallels went wild as Antonio got lost in the forest's hallucinatory fog, and saw a lady in the lake. Who was a vision of Keri Reynolds. Or something. I dunno.

I always wanted Lion's Heart to turn up again, but in the end Victor Lord Jr. made his own rapehouse, too.

That death scene was just too morbid and upsetting for me. I was sort of watching at the time, but tuned out for a number of years.

Anyway, more random clips. These have some of the start of the Pamela story. Poor Pamela.

    • 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.
    • 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.
