This was going to be my response as well. I'm glad that Robin Strasser and Susan Lucci are in possession of theirs. A while back I was thinking of starting our own thread of definitive lists where we cover all the minute trivia like which characters had portraits, had pets, had phobias, lived in penthouses, lived in locales other than the main one of the show while on the show...

* * * * *

-the Quartermaine sofa

-the Abbott horse etching above the stairs (and a panel of Katherine's blue and white paper?)

-Adam's oriental twins statue

-the little doohickey Dr. Lazarre used to hypnotize Silver

-the postmodern tubular steel railings of Alex's/Todd's and Dorian's penthouses and Erica's Linden House

-Erica's Phantom of the Soap Opera masque and her blonde French maid wig (and a Phoebe wig)

-Eterna suits, Heaven robes, Wild West gear

-the gold lame dress Doreen catfought Maya in

-the black and white suit with the white mink tails Dorian wore when she got trapped in the elevator with Herb

-one of RH's rubber Todd scars mounted

Entire sets are a monster but the Clegg mansion and Sydney Chase's penthouse were extraordinary.

Roger Thorpe's Adam Malik mask.

The carriage house set that used to belong to Ross and Blake, once GL's oldest set, it was the setting for GL's most groundbreaking storyline; Roger raping Holly.

The Bauer patio (setting for the Bauer BBQ) and the Bauer kitchen.

Cross Creek set.

GL: Vanessa and Nola's matching Scarlett O'Hara 'You take that off! No, you take that off!' ball gown costumes. Or whatever's left off the dresses.

For Santa Barbara, the C sign that fell on Mary. A little gruesome but symbolic moment for SB anyway.

    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
