Much appreciated, @DRW50 . I was hoping that nothing would get in the way of this episode being uploaded again. With all new people running the show, it did surprise me that they mined TEON's history. I figured TPTB would just ignore it. Hearing the names Mattie, Winston , Sarah-Louise and Capice made me feel nostalgic and verklempt. Laurie Ann was just a young child when I became acquainted with this soap, so these scenes made me feel like I was being reunited with old friends; friends I would soon never see again. Mattie's death was referred to on-screen in the early 1970s, and we saw Winston and Mike at the wake. Winston's passing went unobserved completely (as I recall) a few years later. Phil, Louise and Sarah-Louise all left town, alive and well. Louise was the last to go. Her final scene was saying farewell to Nancy in the Karr living room. TEON is not one of the soaps I talk about a lot of this board, but I really did love it for about 20 years. I have now saved this episode. It was such a treat. I don't want to lose it again. I think the writers probably referred to Sarah-Louise, since she was related to the other characters Nancy and Laurie were discussing, and since Laurie and S-L had relatives in common. Sarah-Louise remained among the living and was last seen in 1970 as a young adult. (IIRC, her nefarious boyfriend had been drugging S-L's dad). She left town around the same time as Louise Grimsley Capice, circa 1970, maybe a bit earlier. Her father, Phil Capice, had left in 1969. When the show began, Winston Grimsley had had a daughter (Louise Grimsley) with his first, deceased wife. He then married a widow named Mattie Lane, who had had a daughter named Sarah Lane from a previous marriage of her own. So Louise Grimsley and Sarah Lane became step-sisters. Sarah-Louise Capice (through her adoptive mother Louise Grimsley Capice) and Laurie Ann Karr (thanks to her biological mother being the late Sarah Lane Karr) both considered Mattie and Winston to be grandparents.
