Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Blair and Marty have it out over Todd's "death", before Blair cuts her hair short and goes into premature labor with Starr. Kassie and Susan ROCKED this scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Karen Wolek on the witness stand is #1 with me. Two from AMC in 1988 that stand out: Tom telling Brooke that Laura is dead, and Angie crying over Jesse's "dead" body. Great writing and great performances.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 One of my favorites is when Gabrielle finally tells the story of how and why she switched the babies on OLTL in 1989, while on trial. Unfortunately, it's not on YouTube yet. Fiona Fest had it up for years, but not anymore! GAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 You know what I love about Victoria Wyndham's Rachel? You can say what you like about the strange, pseudo-British accent that seems to come and go with the breeze, but if you back her into a corner, so to speak, what she gives in turn is a ferociousness that is simultaneously hair-raising and electrifying. Both VW and Rachel were at their best whenever there was something to prove or to defend. It's a shame more people who worked on ANOTHER WORLD didn't realize that.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 This scene between Monica and Lesley is one of the most memorable for me, for sure. An iconic moment in GH history. Skip to 3:31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 OMG I still can't watch that scene without crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 This scene just seems like ham when taken out of context, but I still love it, and have watched it over and over. Diane Ballard, who has spent years of her life doing anything she can to make Alan love her, and waiting for the day that he will leave his pure and innocent wife, Hope, learns that he has had an affair with Rita Bauer, and that she was one of the only people in town not to know. Sofia Landon is superb in this scene, and indeed, in this entire clipset. Her face when she learns the truth is perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHfFgd1G2So&feature=relmfu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 General note about dramatic scenes. I don't know about anyone else, but for me, the less background music, the more dramatic the scene is. The silences between the characters just ramps up the tension SO much more than a constant, overblown underscore. If you can hear the lights/cameras buzzing, it's even better. Let the scene play out, have the last character have the last word, wait for a beat, and THEN let the music come in strong. I only have a vague idea of what this very brief ATWT clip from 1975 is about, but it's SO effective in having you be like "Oh sh!t, what's gonna happen now??" when the scene is done. The flute/mallet prelude followed by that dissonant chord on the closeup gives me so much life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1pYvTCqYDo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I guess I'm in the minority, but this one is up there with Sophia's, "My baby's gone" on The Golden Girls. A little cringe-worthy, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 It never fails to drive me insane that we have nothing of Gillian Spencer's ATWT run besides this. Viewers ADORED her, to the point where ATWT actually kept her on a year or two more than they'd planned because of viewer complaint over attempts to write her out. Yet we have none of it.
