One Life to Live Retro July 1978 Pt. 4

THE classic scene with Judith. Viki forces Karen to admit she's a prostitute and then Viki finds out what dirty Marco Dane has been up to in Llanview. Good stuff!

KAREN: Why don't you punish me? I've been waiting so long to be punished.

I'll probably stand alone on this comment...I remember that this was the era just before the arrival of the "Buchanon" cowboys....Seems that OLTL before their arrival had some very DEEP and POWERFUL storylines Lots of social issues addressed (Did the Buchanons arrive on OLTL because of a new head writer at that time? Didn't they come to Llanview riding on the coat tails of the movie "Urban Cowboy" which was big at the time?) I seem to have enjoyed OLTL the most during this pre-Buchanon era.

@mrob75 I liked these episodes alot. They're more serious than the stuff in the 80's and way better than all the crap they do now. One of the posters who watched the show back then said that the EP Joe Stuart who took over in the late 70's brought in the Buchanan family & phased out the Lords and Woleks. It was to add more rich people & ride the coattails of Dallas & Urban Cowboy.

@chicagofrank2010 This is also how i'm dealing with the loss of OLTL - going back on YT and watching all the classic clips i can each day in as close to a chronological order as i can find! Thanks to everyone who's posted classic clips and please keep em coming!

I just saw the finale of OLTL and I want to thank you for posting this. I have been watching the show for over 20 years and now im watching the old shows now. One Life to Live will live in Internet Heaven forever.

One Life to Live, All My Children and General Hospital were great then and in the 1980s but now the storylines are old. GH is crap now because it's so focused on the Mob. They should at least keep OLTL on the air and cancel GH.

I agree with everyone who HATES the clips they play on OLTL rather than real scenes like this.  The in-depth conversation is the hallmark of the Soap Opera. Other shows do not have the time to do it. That's why people love soaps -- one eavesdrops on intimate conversations and gets to know the characters intimately.

100$ this was 1978 lol

So awesome how did you find this clip

[tallulah1961]

So Karen & Viki were friends? Wasn't  Dorian (Claire Malis) a friend of Karen's after Judith Light took over the role, circa 1977?

@TheCats1963 This is so true... I didn't know soap scenes were ever as long as this one... Although, I still love OLTL... Seems like every decade it gets worse... All My Children is the same way... General Hospital is all about the mob now... I used to GH some, until the mob starting taking over of Port Charles more and more... Now I don't watch it all... Yep, soaps will never be as good as they were back in day...
