Maria calmly taking a sip and smiling after every fantasy was hilarious.

maria was one crazy bitch--and clint ritchie said his worst days on the set was any day he had ot work with BarBara Luna (maria)

[imachildofthe80s8089]

so it wasn't ever easy for Ritchie to ever work with Luna?

Back in 1987, the way this scene played out made it appear that Maria really did fire that first shot at Viki, and I did a double-take for a second. Then, the camera went back to Maria's face, and I realized it was just her fantasy. After this scene aired, it was obvious that her days in Llanview were numbered.

Yet Maria's one of them characters that had to go.

[netguy02]

Yes, Maria definitely had to go. OLTL did such a great job writing her gradual descent into homicidal madness that it made sense when she finally went completely over the edge.

where the scene right before this the fight between Maria and Viki at the court house when Maria slaps Tina

[themirrorsofmymind]

@JWns33 VIKI: "I found her and Tina standing here and she had slapped Tina across the face." LARRY: “She slapped Tina?” VIKI: “Yes! Yes, and I became absolutely furious, and Cord came here and she pretended she hadn’t done it! Well that did it for me! I just lost it completely and told him all about his mother’s involvement with Jessica’s kidnapping.” LARRY: “Alright, I think that’s a good thing.” .” VIKI: “I don’t think so, Larry! ...that woman's on the verge of a nervous breakdown..."

@themirrorsofmymind ... lol thanks

@JWns33 I used to have the 2 episodes that (were part of and) led up to this scene on an AUDIO cassette. So I remember most of the revelation, at Tina and Cord's divorce hearing, that Maria had used Alison to 'gaslight' Viki.

[themirrorsofmymind]

@JWns33 I finally typed out what I remember of the confrontation that led to Maria's revenge fantasy. I could send it to you in an email to your YouTube account because it's WAY TOO LONG to post in a comment. Want me to send it?

This was such a great scene and I loved Maria. OLTL was sooo good during the Paul Rauch years (heck, it was sooo good before Rauch too but these were just terrific for the time it originally aired)!

[GSUHotboi05]

LOL This was too funny. Did you see the way Vicki was holding herself everytime she was shot.
