Center of today's montage...a word I don't use (a box where they put ya).

IIRC, cause I didn't see this last time 'round, would it be:

[spoiler]Harry Johnson?[/spoiler]

IIRC, once upon a time, they (TPTB/ABC?? execs) used to have the winner of Miss America get to appear on one specific soap (one ep, one time).

Does anyone remember this (or, am I completely off my rocker??)

If so, did this ever occur on DS?

Patti

I saw this on the a.m. news; went to the site.

Read the body copy...I thought of ***some*** people here who might need this!

I was looking for the topic that MB had about colors & their codes.

Couldn't find in, went to the 'Search' key, put in 'color' and I got stuff like my Happy B-day to Perankh, and other odds & ends???

Yesterday (Fri) on OLTL, Michael (who used to be a vampire on another ABC soap )
was holding a press conference from
PLAINFIELD, NJ

(that's where I was born!)

Do you think the (HOPEFULLY!) new DS would be a traditional 1 hour show, or a serial-type show? Tune in next week to see if Anne leaves Quentin waiting at the altar.... sorry, I couldn't resist 

And....does anyone/everyone think it will be an hour? (Most but not all shows now-a-days are an hour, but there's some successful 30 minute pieces.)

I wonder because I've recently caught a few eps of Dallas and Dynasty on Soap; perhaps a 1/2 hour serial would be a good start.

(Remember when all soaps were a half hour...then they went to 45! minutes briefly before the now shown hour?)

What do you think would work?

So, there's nothing on tv today; there's a tape my father-in-law had taped/mailed me a few mos. ago, I said, why not.

When I opened the package....HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS!!

I believe I've seen parts of it once; didn't really remember it.

First...the beginning...sensory overload!!

You hear the 'regular' music, and you see TLATKLS, but....it's in a 'different' place....aaahhh!!! (Beautiful set.)

Not too long in it, I genuinely thought of our Mysterious Benefactor; when he was a lad seeing this in the movie theatre, did he have to waste his 50 cents on a bag of popcorn (I'm presuming that when he saw Jeff Clark with Maggie, he must've hurled!!! 

Let's see...WHERE WAS MRS JOHNSON??? faux housekeeper...yuck!

At the end, I watched the credits...uh, somehow I missed seeing Terry Crawford. I did see HAA and Jerry Lacy (yeah!!)

I hope this has been terribly, terribly edited through the years, cause, uh, well, I've seen better. You'd be meeting Barn for the first time, poof! next scene, Carolyn is saying, "Shouldn't the guest of honor be ready for his party?" Okay, I guess we're giving long lost cuz a howdy-dowdy party???

I have vague memories of Carolyn, David playing handball in 'the old swimming pool'. (Funny, I don't remember a swimming pool, yet alot of good fan-fic mentions it.) I also remember Barn turning old, but these are the only parts I remember.

Still, it was cool to see.

It was great; a DS movie, lots of Valentine's chocolate, hey, how cool .
