A monumental first in DS history occurs in ep #14: the very first thunderstorm (though, of course, no one actually gets wet from it
).
And while we're still discussing this ep, one wonders if today's soap writers would write a scene in a bar in which one man tells another man that he's not interested in any more of that man's "propositions"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the idea of one man propositioning another in a bar carry quite the same connotations today as it might have back in '66? One might suspect that today's writers wouldn't want their viewers' minds wandering in directions other than the one they're trying to get across.
An actual piece of real life honest to goodeness continuity occurs in ep # 275: when Carolyn enters Liz' room, she's actually carrying the same kerchief that she wore in preceding location footage of her walking on the beach! (How did that ever happen?! Apparently someone was far more on the ball than back in ep #75 when Vicki is seen in her own location footage walking the beach (and discovering THE PEN) because she's mysteriously wearing a completely different coat than the one she was wearing when she left Collinwood, and she manages to retun to Collinwood wearting the same coat as when she left. But then, doesn't everybody change coats at least twice while they're out?
)
Also, knowing how things will play out two years down the road, it's interesting to hear Carolyn speaking about her father - though I think I'll save that comparison for December and the Leviathans eps.
