nice work again sally.i remember finding these episodes with matthew holding vicki captive to be very supensful and even a little unsettling.

and i knew i was in for something wild the minute laura walked into the coffee shop.as i recall she was smartly attired in a hat and gloves!even before the whole "pheonix" thing gets going she's just so strange you can't take your eyes off her.

i had forgotten that vicki had taken the position sight unseen.she was such a trusting girl.
after 1795 i noticed that vicki spends little if any time at all tutoring david.she's so distracted by dream curses and boyfriends from other centuries who has time to do the job one was hired to do.she's sort of just "there" at collinwood.the same thing happens with julia.she was there under the pretense of writing a book but that sort of just gets dropped and she just lives there for no real reason.

i'll have to go back and check out the grilled cheese episode.

after vicki returns from 1795 her memories of it are confused but she does believe that she was indeed there.everyone else thinks that's impossible but she perseveres.during brandy and a fireside chat with nicholas roger informs him that vicki is an "odd girl" with a "bizzare and vivid imagination".she "behaves strangely" and indulges in "the most curious of fantasies".
of course "we" know her beliefs to be true but roger does not.wouldn't that make her a mentally disturbed young woman in his view?and why would he allow her to care for his child?

sally...these were the very first episodes that i ever saw of d.s. and i was instantly hooked.it must have been about five years ago during a time when sci-fi ran the show at 11:00pm.then they switched to a morning time slot and i had to start ordering it on video because i was at work.i remember carolyn going on about how her impromptu "date" with burke had been "the best night of her life" which is odd when you consider what they actually did.it was strange too that business with the seaweed never coming up again when liz and roger must have understood it's signifigance.i'm glad you're enjoying them,when i'm finally finished with the show's run i might re-watch these episodes again.

i caught the second opening sequence late last night and it's awsome too!thanks DStoDA, i think you have all the present day characters covered.i loved that you even included laura and burke.

i just checked it out and it's genius as always.i used to watch y & r and that song was perfect.where did you get those sketches  DStoDA?
my favorite promo is the 1967 one.

does anyone remember the scene in which julia first decides that she has the "hots" for b.?it's a scene with dr. woodard in the collinwood study.the look on julia's face is priceless!

what happened to all those great soaps from the 1960's and 70's?there are so few on today.i guess the daytime t.v. demographic has changed.so few housewives.i would love to see "the secret storm",it had so many d.s. actors.
