I love it when Mason finally just shoves CC out of his way.  Ahhh, memories.

@noblesvillejames Must be from one of Lisa's tapes. LOL

[marielovesscott]

but Mary was a bit bland. At least with Julia, Mason could be more than a love sick puppy

Bad Dialogue she was ranting about nothing really before it happened just killing time till it happened. Tell me this folks I'm Irish so don't know much but is days or our lifes one of your top soaps in america

To me, this marked the beginning of the end for SB. Mary's death was bad enough, but I couldn't stand how the writers destroyed the character of Mason afterwards.

And I agree with that earlier commenter--if only the writers had given Julia the big C, I never could stand her.

Why couldn't the sign just fall on Julia!

She was so annoying!

This scene still gives me a lump in the throat after more than 20 years. But it also reminded me how mindless SANTA BARBARA could be at times, by getting rid of characters viewers loved. The same could be said for the show's treatment of characters Hayley (Stacey Edwards), Caroline (Lenore Kasdorf), and a multitude of others senselessly killed off to create cheap thrills. Mary's death on SB was one of the major death knells for the show, and Hayley's was the final blow.
