One more that I couldn't resist, because what else would one wear for their wedding to a TV evangelist in the 1980s but this ensemble from Knots Landing?

Even Tammy Faye Baker wouldn't have dared to wear this one gloved wonder. 

But Cathy could've ripped off the veil and reused the headband for a Jane Fonda workout.

The Dorian/Herb wedding was from that odd time when women would never wear white to the second wedding, but they would wear poofy sleeves and mismatched nail polish

I think the scarf was meant to convey that Dorian was happier at her fifth wedding (after Victor, Herb, Mr Sati, and her first marriage to David, this time she married Mel for the "right reasons"), she certainly looked younger

Her sixth go-round to Mitch Laurence was a bit of a hodge-podge (good dress, horrible hair), but it must be hard to find time to shop for a last minute surprise return to town marriage to the local cult leader.  I guess you know it's last minute when the huge bouquets totally clash with Dorian's color scheme of blush and bashful.

However, one of the historical crimes against good taste has got to go to Luna Moody.  Not only was it really out of character for such a "boho bride", but it also was never in style to wear a Snow White collar on a dress of velvet burnout herringbone chiffon on your wedding day

Pretty dress and headgear, but perhaps we need another thread for worst wedding photo (ie crazy eyes)?

Remember the days when we got amused by how often Erica Kane had been married?  Now, it is standard operation procedure for a female character i their 40s to have been married at least three times.

One Life to Live does it again!  Someone recently posted one of the zillion of episodes related to Samantha Vernon and Asa Buchanan's wedding and all I could look at was this thing on her head

Another view, and can someone confirm who is standing next to Dorian? (and why is she in the reception line at the wedding?)

Meanwhile Edwina is wearing Chanel (The Banner must have paid their reporters well)

Finally, Dorian makes an inexplicable costume change between the ceremony and the reception

I can't understand why Dorian and Herb were in the reception line either. Was it Herb's position in the town at the time? I think he was either DA or Mayor or something.

That is Anthony George as Dr. Will Vernon, Sam's father, next to her. I know George best from Dark Shadows.

I can never get over Wanda Webb and Asa being cousins as an ongoing character beat for a decade In this era. They very regularly refer to each other as 'cousin'.

Herb says a line at the ceremony that they can't keep their guests waiting, which I guess means that the reception was at Llanfair?

I may be all mixed up, but does this mean that they kept Olympia in one mansion, then Asa lived in another, and they had the reception at third mansion?

At least when AMC;s Cliff and Nina got married in 1908 (and Palmer's "dead" wife Daisy attended) it made more sense that it was at Palmer's home (with an outdoor area that we never saw again).

      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

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      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

      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.
