The scene with Lurlene was not part of the opening sequence. It aired either at the mid-break point or before the last act. That said, I personally loved the scene. Tina Johnson was a real find — a marvelous addition to the cast. In the context of Lurlene’s story arc, the fantasy worked. I think Texas, in a lot of ways, was copying Guiding Light’s Nola fantasies and capitalizing on the talents of an actress who had been on Broadway. Tina would go on to sing in one of the show’s final episodes. I was 19 when that scene aired, and I recall being blown away by her beautiful voice.
