I'm trying to picture an aluminum tree in Collinwood's drawing room. Your photo made my day. Merry Christmas.

   

Thanks. Same to you and to all of our fellow members.

I figured as long as they weren't dead, they could be invited back and given the honor. That's why I picked A. Moltke as one of my choices. I meant to put Dan Curtis as an option but I forgot.

Me. Well, not upset, 'cause I had stoped watching the show long before 1841PT. I know I saw much 1840 and 1970PT but I can't recall exactly when I stoped watching or why. Which is interesting in itself to me because DS was a major addiction. More than likely, it was the meeting of new friends in 'middle school' and becoming sexually active. Too young to have sex after dinner and a movie, so had to fit it in after school and before dinner, lol.

I was disappointed and cornfused to say the least because I didn't have a single solitary idea who any of the characters were. It's weird coming back to see the last episode in what kind of represented my old life and not be able to relate. What I did concentrate on was saying farwell (so to speak) to the actors. At least I knew who most of them were. Having not seen the entire show or that last year of airdates, loose ends weren't a factor for me. I thought the show ended okay. For me it basically said that all was well. Of course at the time I don't think I knew they were even in parallel time.

I remember not being too thrilled that Thayer's was the last voice heard. I had no appreciation for him back then. Why Frid wasn't chosen to do the final voiceover I'll never know. Anyone know why Thayer was chosen over Frid? You'd think Frid would have been chosen.

I was checking out the slide show and much to my delight, it features stills from ep 123 - Laura's return to Collinsport. I first saw this episode in the 90's and I loved it. A classic soap opera moment written in classic S/O style. I absolutely love D. Millay's acting style (so retro!) and she really played it to the hilt. It is one of my favorites DS moments. Laura's return was just the shot in the arm that the Roger/Burke/Sam needed at his point (IMO) and D. Millay provided it in spades.

My earliest DS memories from the 60's are of Laura, so it was such a treat to finally see her intro, and the complete storyline.

It seems odd that Maggie doesn't recognize her. It must have something to do with Roger & Laura leaving town, but I honestly don't remember how many years they were away.

Great memories...Great choice MB
