Members Khan Posted June 17, 2018 Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) You can see Gloria Monty injecting some Hitchcockian touches into the sequence. I find them too distracting. Edited June 17, 2018 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted June 17, 2018 Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 They couldn't do that sort of thing two years prior and I'm not sure they can do it now, 38 years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted June 17, 2018 Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 I loved that little room and used to enjoy visiting it on a regular basis. TGL had the Bauer kitchen, DAYS had the Horton living room, and GH had that medicine room. Some sets just made the soaps feel like home.

Members titan1978 Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think it ratchets up the tension all the way up the stairs. She often said her mix was a little bit of Hitchcock, a little bit of Capra, and a dash of humor. The Hitchcock references are really high in this scene for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 It was like the entire cast was standing in a line to distract Alan. Probably one or two would have been enough... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) It'd been funny, though, if that procession, for lack of a better word, had included characters that viewers hadn't seen in ages. ("Hey, it's us, Howie and Jane Dawson, just stoppin' by to congratulate you on the baby, and to keep this insane suspense going!")

Members Khan Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I guess the gardener was too busy to offer his congrats as well. ("These leaves ain't gonna rake themselves!") Edited June 18, 2018 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Alan makes it to the top of the stairs and there's a whole bunch of happy maids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not to mention, the mayor, the governor, both U.S. senators, the president AND the First Lady, and the starting lineup from the New York Giants. (They were all on their way back from the can.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Also, as I mentioned earlier, nobody wants a nursery with a huge a skylight, that room is where they should have put Jimmy Lee so he could work on his tan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 This was Pat Falken Smith's writing (with much' 'input' from Gloria I'm sure). Was this one of the first stories where a villianous character got away with a crime ? Alan was planning murder, but he certainly was not charged. Was he made to suffer in any way? John Kelly Genovese critiqued this storyline in Afternoon TV and wasn't happy in that the viewer wasn't sure who they should be rooting for... Maybe that was deliberate, in that each character had their point of view or was it just muddled? Anyway, it seemed the harbinger of things to come in the 80's and beyond, where characters routinely were not punished for their crimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
