CarlD2 - Thanks for posting that interview with Strasser. She is my absolute favorite and I see so much of Dorian with Strasser as she is described here, though amplified. For all of her strength, the vulnerability is also evident, which makes her a fascinating character.

It was so weird seeing Viki tend bar. I thought Paris Texas was the only time she worked like that. Now we know why she was so good dealing with the truckers in Texas. She had this little experance at the White Lion. I actually can see that Niki would have been a great bartender. I wish they would have done that story sometime.

Mazel tov Judy! I saw her on stage about ten years ago in Hedda Gabler. Now did Agnes write any of her stuff on OLTL or was Judith just thanking Agnes for OLTL in general when Agnes got that SOD award?

This may be a common photo and I missed it, i don't know. I scanned it anyway, as I like the image of Nancy Pinkerton and her portrait, as Robin Strasser's portrait became such a critical part of her time on OLTL in the 93-00 run (not sure if Elaine or Claire had a portrait). I sometimes wonder if they just stuck a head on a body in Nancy's era - this portrait reminds me of the Angelique portrait from DS and the Rae Woodard portrait from RH.

Don't you think she looks a bit like Jacquie Courtney in that portrait?

This was in Bryna Laub's Soap Opera Annual.

Carl, you find the BEST stuff! Again, something I thought I'd always have to leave to imagination. Apparently, Dorian threw a big party and unveiled this portrait, replacing the one of Eugenia that had always hung there before. IIRC, Erika said that Viki had been in some accident and was paralyzed and she made her dramatic return at this party, stealing Dorian's thunder as she descended the stairs at Llanfair in a flowing white gown. In the 25th anniversary episode, Viki references "that caricature!" with which Dorian replaced her mother's portrait.

Oh good, I'm glad it wasn't already out there. When I first saw it I thought, "SFK will love this." And other Nancy Dorian fans (if we can be a fan of someone we have seen a 30 second clip of). I remember the story about Viki upstaging Dorian, but I'd forgotten the portrait went that far back.

I hope we might get to see this in color, or even <gasp> a clip, someday. It sounds like brilliant soap.

I love Nancy's facial expression as she stands by the fireplace. It is in many ways the essence of Dorian, even now.

Megan learns that Viki is her mother. That scene doesn't quite work (throw the lotion bottle in rage!), but the first scene between Viki and Megan post-reveal is phenomenal, so understated and beautifully acted. Remember when Viki had children who were worth a damn?

Does anyone know if Robin Strasser ever had her portait done for Llanfair? I mean when she first came on. I saw the old scenes from that time and it looks like by then they just did without the photo hanging over the mantal. I know she did a beutiful one decades later when Robin came back to town in the 1990's and bought "La Boulie" but i just wondered if they ever did one for Llanfair to replace Nancy Pinkerton's one. (thanks CarlD BTW. I never saw it before either.)

      It's so jarring seeing the changeover from Sherry Mathis to Louan Gideon.  The vibe, mannerisms, and overall personality of Liza changes instantly. The chemistry Sherry has with both David F and Joe Lambie is gone the second the recast happens.  I wonder how viewers took the news of the recast since you didn't have time in between airings before the change happened. Quinn/Sarah... One overacts (Quinn) and one under acts (Sarah). Wendy of 1985 is a good mix of the 1982 sweet Wendy and the 1983/84 vixenish Wendy.

      I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.

      I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.

      I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.

      Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along.
