OLTL: Couples Who've Lived in Llanview, Loved and Lost

[supertailgirl]

Thank you so much for posting this. I have embeded this as part of my column The Sandbox at EyeOnSoaps (the Part 2 column.) It brought back so many wonderful memories, especially of Jake & Megan!

[SuperHoptop1]

Who was the woman that was tied up in the boat and went down the waterfall.

[PopCulture20]

@SuperHoptop1 That was Tina Chord but she not so surprisingly survived.

[SuperHoptop1]

I remember watching this episode when I was a kid, does anyone know how I can watch the rest of this episode.

[tannie427]

OMG Bo and nora are the best I can't believe wat OLTL did to them it's so fucking sad !!!!!!!!!!!

[HotlantaBoricua]

When Megan died was one of the most dramatic scenes I ever seen....I was just a kid.....I believed she lost her fight with Lukemia!

[Kandykanemelx2]

OMG thank you! I've been looking for this montage with the Zoe Jane song

[amyweisenborn]

even with bo and nora reunion actually happening right now...FINALLY i might add...this vid still makes me cry esp when ya think about all the greatness we miss out on b\c they werent together:(

[biggerdouchebagjones]

okay, the Bo and Nora montage part made me depressed! WHY DID THEY BREAK THEM UP, WHY?????? :( :(

[amyweisenborn]

@biggerdouchebagjones i agree...they never should have and they should have reunited them several times in the last ten years...glad for the reunion now, but IMO i think the reunion would have worked better in the previous storylines...

[substitute91]

whats the storyline on 2:33? well, i'm still new to OLTL. Thanks. :)

[ThorneAstor]

That's Dorian and Herb having sex in the elevator.

[substitute91]

@ThorneAstor,I finally figured that out few weeks ago, now that I am a huge fan of OLTL. Thanks, anyway :) Though, i do not know much about Herb/Dorian i know he was one of those men Dorian really loved, right? Apart of Mel, which she truly loves. I miss all of the couples here, although not a huge fan of Viki/Sloan, but i think Sloan was one of the standard men Viki ever loved. He was after all, a war hero, General.

And, Im so so happy that Bo and Nora is back together again, today.

[ThorneAstor]

If you want to know more about orian and Herb, I suggest you talk to dia1962. He knows all about him and Dorian. I'm not a big Sloan fan either. He's rather boring.

[bigal650]

@substitute91 Sloan was definitely the least popular husband of Viki. When she married Ben I was happier mainly because that meant she was no longer Viki Carpenter. They should have shown Viki lose Joe.

[amyweisenborn]

This video makes me cry everytime I watch it...a lot of these couples were before my time, but the scenes are still heartbreaking...BO AND NORA absolutely need to be together! It was a crime to break them up

[softsable79]

I still can't believe that the TPTB kept Bo & Nora apart this long. They are long overdue for a reunion.

[HorrorFestUser]

wat happened during 3:02 and what was with the valentine tree?

[softsable79]

I don't remember the details of the fire. But that was tree Jake and Megan planted on their wedding day as a symbol of their life. Shortly after the wedding Jake left on assignment and was jailed in Jaba City. Megan became ill with Lupus. He returned while she was on her deathbed. He placed the tree outside the window of her hospital room. As she looked at the tree she dies in his arms.

[mrob75]

@softsable79 And didn't Megan die near Valentine's Day and that was the reason that Jake had it decorated with hearts? That's a pretty old clip!

[softsable79]

@mrob75 Yes she died like a week before Valentine's Day but years later when Viki talked about her death she says Megan died on Valentine's Day.

[bmf1706]

1:35 shows Dorian marrying Herb at llanfair. That was nice.

[fff1313]

What????? no Marco and Karen? what a crock of shit!!!

[softsable79]

That was a good montage. Good Music too! Jake & Megan still make me cry! I never liked Sloan & Viki!

[1life2ROCK]

DORIAN LORD IS AMAZING!!!!!

[2678valou]

i love this video but can anyone please tell me the name of the song thats playing i love this song

[alkiewife1515]

zoe jane by the staind

[alkiewife1515]

do anyone knoe where i can see the 35th anniversary montage of viccki and dorian with the song fighter

[ABCjen868]

Now that was a great montage!

I taped it when it aired then taped over it

[Eptownies04]

i so remember the episode what was there songs that were played during the montage's im make a one life to live 40th montage and need to know what were he songs were played during the montage's.

[spoiledprincesswv]

wow, soo many memories. i think herb is and was the one great love of dorian's life. it broke my heart when megan died, but i remember when she woke up in the hospital bed and saw jake sitting there with her, after he'd been held captive all that time, THAT mde me cry harder. and tina and cord have always been one of my all time favorite couples.

[2bold2beautiful]

i'm confused and hoping you could clear up something. was Herb callison the father of Dorian's daughter Cassie or was it David Renaldi????????

[spoiledprincesswv]

cassie had herb's last name, but he adopted her, he wasn't her biological dad. problem is, i can't remember who her bio dad is. i'm not sure if it's renaldi or not. but i do know herb was her adaptive father for sure.

[ShutEmDownNow]

David Reynolds (whose real name was David Renaldi) was Cassie's biological father. He died of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease (like the actor who portrayed him, Michael Zaslow).

[spoiledprincesswv]

yeah, i remember now, 'cause i think he was back on the show before he passed away, and he passed while he was still on the show, right?

[ShutEmDownNow]

That's right. Zaslow's best-known role is that of Roger Thorpe, who for years was the primary villain on "Guilding Light". But after he developed ALS, CBS/Proctor & Gamble fired him, because they felt that Roger couldn't be allowed to look weak.

ABC & OLTL happily snatched him back up as David Renaldi, wrote his disease into the storyline, and kept him on until he died.

[spoiledprincesswv]

AHA! it's all coming back to me now!

[ShutEmDownNow]

Check out the clip entitled "Music Man, p1 - Michael Zaslow as David Renaldi" . . . and part 2, and part 3.

[1969diesel]

I'll never forget when Tina went over the waterfall... and now I cant wait to see her again June 11th...

[ShutEmDownNow]

Of course, the baby Tina was holding and passing off as her own was not C.J. (her son with Cord), but Max & Gabrielle's son Al Holden. He grew up, fell in love with Marcie Walsh, died, and his soul was transferred to Michael McBain.

[soapunk]

Great trip down memory lane! I am surprised that I never saw this before. Great choice of couples. Man, I will never forget Tina bursting into that wedding with the baby, or how my fragile teenage heart broke into a million pieces when Megan died in Jakes arms, and when Luna said goodbye to Max.

[bigal650]

They showed Viki and Sloan, her most uncharacteristic choice in a man.

I think they should have shown couples like Viki and Clint, Viki and Joe, Jake and Megan, Max and Luna, Max and Gabrielle, Tina and Cord, Rafe and Samantha, Bo and Didi, Bo and Sarah, Bo and Nora, Larry and Meredith, Larry and Karen, Vinnie and Wanda, Ed and Carla, Dorian and Herb, Brad and Jenny, Tony and Pat.

I think that goes over a good set of tortured OLTL couples.

[ShutEmDownNow]

Of course, you can't mention Ed & Carla without talking about the earlier pairing of Scottish-American Dr. Jim Craig and Italian-American Carla Benari. Carla turned out to be a light-skinned African-American named Clara Grey who was passing for White, much to the dismay of her dark-skinned mother Sadie. Even today, roughly 40 years later, it stands out as one of the best storylines in soap history.

[mcgrawfan89]

The first couple they showed was jake and megan just so you know

[PopCulture20]

that's Marcia Cross on that last scene!!!!!

[PRNeneChulo]

Love it!!!!

[bigchatter]

This video clip is Great! Love Bo and Nora! They were soooo good together!

[ABCjen868]

I SO remember this montage. BUT I thought the music was "Tomorrow" by Michael Kisur. On his website he has this montage set to his song, saying this was the part featuring his song.

Watching the video from his site, I CLEARLY remember it being his song because I remember bawling and remember the part with Sloan's funeral

[NicholasSpears]

The original ABC airing featured this Staind song, but the same-day SoapNet reairing (and the ABC rerun around Christmastime) featured a different song, presumably the one you're talking about.

[ABCjen868]

Okay maybe. Do you have that clip

On the guy's website he has his song set to it and I just remember his song. But I watched the original airing and I still remember his song.

Hearing his song it fits with the montage.

[NicholasSpears]

No, sorry. I only have the episode taped from its original ABC airing. Are you sure this man's song wasn't played during the Viki/Clint montage earlier in the episode? That never changed in any of the airings I watched.

[PopCulture20]

what is the name of the song in the clip?

[alkiewife1515]

zoe jane_ staind, do you know where i could find another clip it from the same eposode clips with vicki and dorian with the sing fighter

[OriginalCM29]

You make me miss what was. What I wouldn't give to get Herb back!

[1life2ROCK]

BO AND NORA!!!

I will love them until the day I die!

This is great, never saw it!

[DaffyMaiden]

Ohh... thank you for this!

[OLTLmaestra]

Durrrr....this is why we all held on through the Higley years, Please bring THIS show back, RC!

Thanks for posting this, NicholasSpears!

[NicholasSpears]

I think that show is on its way back. With Allison Perkins back and all the different storylines coming to a head, I think we're in for some entertaining stuff.

[OLTLmaestra]

Oh, ITA.

*fingers crossed*

[lokimom]

Damn I always knew Nat should have been a Cramer. I wish MA and RS shared more scenes. OL is getting better but it was great back then,

[buckeyegirl1978]

With the exception of Viki&Sloan, I miss all of these couples.

[NicholasSpears]

Viki and Sloan grew on me. I was sad to see him go.

[bigal650]

@buckeyegirl1978 I think showing Joe & Viki would have been much more appropriate if they wanted to show her lose a husband. Viki has said thru the years that if he never died they would never had divorced.

[bmf1706]

@bigal650 Yeah--Joe's would've been more appropriate. The funeral of Joe Riley was on YouTube at one pont, but think the user closed down. Still much much more appropriate for this montage...
