WOW! Thank you for posting that!

That's from 1991- Conboy was EP and the Dobsons had recently been reinstated as Head Writers. Sophia is in the coma because Eden had shot her (from the split personality resulting from the Lionel/Sophia affair, adding much subtext to the dialogue spoken). It was just revealed that Lionel isn't really Warren's father.

That scene and Louise's performance both were simply DIVINE. I had long forgotten about it.

Again, thanks for posting, as it fills a gap in my writing on RTSB. I DEFINITELY plan to use that clip as a flashback so thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

And yes, she should have won Emmys in 95 and 96 for these performances.

(Same thing- had to EDIT and make the first one a link, since it's a "Do Not Embed" Video)

Carly's Early Scenes

Worth adding, if only to prove that Shawn Christian could act once upon a time and that Maura brought out the best in even the weakest of her costars.

That was great, and she was a little cuckoo Vivian, no?

Who is the brunette in the scene with Wagner?? She is sporting some crazy bone structure, very striking like a He-Man/She-Ra character.

She got a decent performance out of Austin Peck. That alone should make her emmy worthy. I hesitate to say her name in the same breath as McKinsey's but only because McKinsey is a legend. Not just a soap "icon" like LaLucci, but truly an acting genius.

That's Cassandra/Cassie Benedict, foster child of the Capwells, illegitimate daughter of Minx Lockridge, lover to Mason and Warren (who turned out not to be Lionel's son as mentioned in the clip)--all revisionist history I could never care about, and despite the efforts, I never could warm up to Cassie. She was never as interesting and complicated as some of the 'vixens' I've seen elsewhere, eg. Blake on GL.

Not just fired, but fired over a repulsive storyline (Augusta falling for her sister's rapist). I was upset they made Julia yet another soap rape victim, but the Augusta twist just took the cake.

Augusta, but I digress! :lol:

The brunette in the scene with Wagner is Cassandra Benedict, played by Karen Moncrief. Moncrief also played Gabrielle Pascal on DAYS, an interloper between Kim & Shane in the late 80s.

I still don't buy that they were actually going to have Augusta fall for Dash. It wasn't known for sure whether Dash had actually raped Julia at the time (well, the viewers knew because this is JULIA we're talkin about) so I believe that Augusta was flirting with Dash in the hopes of coaxing the truth out of him. I think Louise may have jumped the gun on this one- I just can't see them honestly having Augusta fall for Julia's rapist and I don't think that's where they were actually going with it, however it may have been seen by Sorel and others.

About the Maura West comments, I agree that she is a daytime legend. In fact, I don't even hesitate to give her the title of the best actress in daytime. As heartbroken as I am that Y&R has let her go, I could see her excelling in primetime and maybe even movies. The woman has a talent that you don't see very often.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
