Does anyone remember this mini-series?

The reruns are going now in Croatia and I just LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the show! It has wonderful cast and great story! I have already read the books years ago, but seeing it again is so special!

I love Kirstie Alley as Virgilia, Terri Garber as Ashton, Lesley Anne Down as Madeline... I love George & Constance together! Conastance is a very beautiful woman! :D

And I love seeing all these soap people on my screen lol (Genie Francis, Lesley Anne Down, Terri Garber...)

Does anyone else love this series??

Yup, it was Patrick Swayze (Orry Maine) and James Read (George Hazard)! :D

Book 1 just finished in Croatia and the war started! Virgilia (Kiristie Alley) went a bit nutty and she is SOOOO GOOOOOD! It's great!

It is one of my favorite mini-series of all time Manny. Terri Garber should have had a bigger career than she did. She was wonderful on Texas in the mid-80's, and then went on to do a few things in primetime and really made a splash in North and South. But she just virtually disappeared afterward.

The story also continues in North and South Book 2. Maybe they will air that there too.

SteveFrame, Terri Garber was recently on As the World Turns for about a year as Iris. I still love her - she was great as Ashton Maine!! I loved that mini-series, too. Lesley-Ann Down was Madeline - she was such a knockout!!

I loved Book One the most. Book Two was great, but was less story and more on the Civil War. But, if edited together, they are my favorites after Roots.

North And South Book Three? Stay away from that at all cost. The all-time worse mini series in television history, bar none.

It ended on Thursday here... :D It was wonderful! I love it! :D :D

Roman, do you want the ending of the series? Here you are:

So the war ends and George leaves home to see his family. Virgilia is arrested for murdering her lover Sam and she is exectued by hanging. George decides to find Orry, who was missing after the war and he finds him in some hospital. They return together to Mont Royal (family Maine's estate). Earlier, Billy also returned to Mont Royal and reunited with Brett. Orry and George go to find Madeline in Charleston and they do, so Madeline and Orry reunite and come back to Mont Royal.

Charles went to find Augusta, but learned she died during labor, but she left him a son. Charles went to find the baby, who was taken by Augusta's cousins. After getting the child, Charles went back to Mont Royal too.

Before George, Orry and Madeline returned to Mont Royal, Salem Jones and his gang decided to burn Mont Royal. They went there and started trashing the place, as Billy, Charles, Brett and other tries to fight them. In the fight, Clarissa Maine got killed. Orry, George and Madeline returned just in the end to save others, but Mont Royal was burnt to the ground and Clarissa couldn't be saved.

Ashton wasn't seen in the last episode here...

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
