[QUOTE="Jason73, post: 238404, member: 3"] In my Another World viewing, I've caught up to where I left off in my Santa Barbara viewing - August 1985, so I decided to pop back in to SB and see how it compares to what I'm watching on AW. It looks like the first 700 episodes are up now. Everything is so melodramatic and heightened over on SB and it sucked me right back in. Cruz and Eden are engaged and living together on Cruz's houseboat. Eden is starting to fuss about his job as a cop and hinting at wanting him to change careers. Other than that, everything is happiness and sunshine in their relationship. Ted's trial for raping Christie ended when Christie broke down on the stand and admitted it wasn't Ted who raped her. She did not, however admit that the person who really raped her was her step-brother, Steve. Christie runs away and Ted tracks her down to help her but she has decided her only option is to shoot her rapist--who Ted still doesn't know is Steve. Mary (Christie's sister) has a flashback to Steve coming on to her and remembers that was the reason she ran away to become a nun. She also realizes that when she left, she left Christie alone with Steve and pieces together that Steve is the one who raped her. Steve goes off the deep end and ties Mary up and leaves to find Christie and Ted and kill them both. I've always liked the character of Mary. Harley Kozak is playing her scenes like she's in a 1950s melodrama. It's definitely entertaining. Over at the Capwell mansion, Mason gleefully tells CC that Channing was gay and in a relationship with his friend, Lindsey. CC of course has a problem with this bit of news. Sophia, in a shockingly accepting attitude for 1985 explains that Channing was just being true to who he was and wasn't hurting anyone or doing anything wrong. CC eventually comes around to grudgingly not hating his dead son for being gay. Sophia is currently living at the Capwell mansion, reconciled with CC. Gina is on the outs because of her affair with Mason, but is still staying at the Capwell mansion because of Brandon. CC is diagnosed with a brain aneurysm that could burst at any time and kill him. Gina learns from Augusta that Channing is actually Lionel's son and shares this info with Mason. Mason decides to let CC know the truth and after goading him for an episode almost reveals the truth but Gina stops him. She's learned about CC's aneurysm from Sophia and doesn't want to kill him. CC doubles down on his vitriol directed at Mason and Gina, so that changes Gina's mind and they tell him the truth about Channing's parentage. CC flies into a rage and nearly collapses. He had already made arrangements to change his will and write out Masson and Gina and now he calls his lawyer to add Sophia to the disinherited list. Judith McConnell is brilliant in these scenes, trying to protect CC from the truth and then pleading with him to forgive her. CC, on the verge of collapsing throws the three of them out and we get a fun shouting match between Sophia and Gina. Sophia: "I want you to shut up. Just shut your mouth. You're a tramp. CC was right." Gina: "And you're a conniving, two-timing phoney, walking around as if butter wouldn't melt in your mouth. All the time trying to pass somebody else's child off as CC's." I love watching Gina vs Sophia scenes. There's a different dynamic when the Gina in question is played by Linda Gibboney rather than Robin Mattson, but as I've said before I love Gibboney's flighty, neurotic take on Gina. While all the shouting is going on CC storms over to the Lockridge mansion with a gun to confront Lionel. Gina, Sophia, Cruz and Eden all show up to stop him and he ends up collapsing. He refuses to go to the hospital and is taken back to the Capwell mansion. CC is convinced he will be dead soon and is determined to sign his divorce papers (divorcing Gina) and his new will. Gina tries to stop him from signing the papers, knocking the papers out of his hand. CC collapses to the floor, this time unconscious, will and divorce papers scattered around the floor, while Gina stands over him trying to decide what to do next. All of that happened over the course of about three episodes. It was sort of breathtaking how fast the plot moved. Sure, it was pretty plot heavy but it was a lot of fun and knowing what's just ahead story-wise, I'm looking forward to being back in SB for a while. [/QUOTE]
