Here's the wedding of Mary Jane "MJ" Match (Lauren White) and Tom Carroll (Jonathan Frakes) on The Doctors, 1977. It was a small and intimate wedding for a soap, especially in those days. This looks like a wedding dress that probably shouldn't have worked but did, in no small part due to the gorgeous lighting.

MJ and the bridesmaid's dresses are classics which rarely look bad when paired with contemporary styling, but the groom's cream colored tux is a "no" for me.  The floppy yellow boutineer paired with a matching pocket square do not compliment the outfit.

You're close.  The bride's sister and brother-in-law were killed in a car accident driving home from the wedding.  MJ and Tom took in the annoying nephew, and then Tom started abusing him.  Tom died a few months later, after getting rid of the kid and getting counseling.

I do get what you mean but Erica actually pulled that one well, the rest Oh God!

Can't defend the rest but Nina's Hat is not favored by that photo nor Nina Herself is, her original hat was Beautiful but it worked far better with it's veil covering her face, the second one is chic and nice but black for a wedding?

Zed and Jenny’s wedding on Capitol.

Another example of soaps adhering to the old fashioned rule that brides can only wear white at their first wedding (Nicki Newman & Laura Spencer being the obvious exception to the rule)

I am not a wig expert, but to this day I don't understand how they got a lace front to sit so flat on Catherine Hickland's head? The hair and costume departments at Capitol did most of the heavy lifting to differentiate Jenny from Julie.  I am amused by the idea that Jenny was trying desperately to suppress her insanity as shown in her tight buns and constrictive collars. 

Good news, when they were done with that dress, they could recycle it as dust cover for over one thousand lamps!

Also, wasn't it nice of Mark Denning to show up at the wedding of the woman who shot him on his wedding day?

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
