Soap (The Verdict)

[Diakron79]

This show predated the infamous 'Who Shot JR?' in 'Dallas'. Too bad this scene didn't take credit for that. So underrated.

[MadScout]

Comedy character actor Charles lane (a bunch of Frank Capra films) played the judge.

[doctorw2]

well, you could easily rule out benson he deffinetly had no reason to kill him.

[mmmli1]

is it just me, or what but hell am scared! and i know who did it just creep! lolololoolo

[weightfeather1]

@mmmli1 This was powerful stuff when it aired and the whole country was scared for Jessica. We bit our nails all summer while awaiting the new fall season and the revelation of the "real" killer, (and I'm not telling!)

[patrickballoonman]

Who killed Peter Campbell? Will the guilty party confess? And if the guilty party DOES confess, how will this affect Jessica's life and the lives of everyone else?

These questions and many others will be answered this Fall on the next episode of...

SOAP.

Don't spoil the show for people who havn't bought or rented the DVD. Damn you people have no brains.

[Thebigbadwoof]

This episode originally aired in 1978. After 32 years how much time does one really need? Besides the title of the clip clearly says "The Verdict" so there are no surprises. Anyone who chooses to watch the clip anyway disregarding the warning is really the one with "no brains."

[sonypics2010]

For us older people it may not make a difference but then again some of us forgot the show's outcome. I was speaking for younger people who are finding a new joy in older television programming. You're throwing spoilers at them.

The murderer was originally going to be Chuck & Bob but they were so popular that Susan Harris didn't want to lose them. So, she decided to switch the killer to be Chester.

[dubs19842009]

@TVSeriesFinalecom Originally Chuck and Bob? Wow Chuck really did hate his brother!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@TVSeriesFinalecom What makes you say that Susan Harris was originally going to make the killer to be Chuck (well, and Bob)? Why would Chuck have killed his own brother, and why would Bob be a party to that? LOL

[79wall]

You know...now that you point that out, I can see how the corner of Corrines pic (top left) is the only overlapping corner on Jody`s pic. With this I can see how it is "pointing to Chester!" Very interesting...

[OneEyedJack1970]

Is it just me, or do the overlaid pictures at the end seem to point to Chester?

[Tubewings]

This had to be one of the first (if not the first) season-ending cliffhangers in TV history.

[nosuchpersonvideo]

Jessica's lawyer and Jessica's sister were also the married neighbors in Webster.

[BitterCycle]

Gordan jump and Howard Hessman were both in this scene, and both went on to play Dr. Johnny Fever and Art Karlson in WKRP.

[vestarach]

i still get chills

[Pipe61]

oh...it was Chester Tate, just in case anyone is still unspoiled 30+ years later.

[MsMBA2]

[palmyrajo]

I thought it was Corrine!
